   I came here to comment on this exact quote. "Overpriced" is such an odd word for the author to use in this context, it undermines their entire argument. Are these laptops more expensive than a similarly spec'd mainstream alte

   The biggest issue for me is that I have more than one serious interest. I don’t want to pick just one. I feel this design encourages monoculture and echo chambers rather than diversity of ideas.

   I agree with you but I think we are already starting to face the same problems now.

   This fits with my observations. It’s not that Chromium is faster than Firefox per se, but it responds quicker to user interaction giving it a snappier feel. I think it has to do with prioritization and other tricks to make it ‘feel’ faster

   I have tested with a clean profile and didn’t notice a speed up. This is not to say Firefox is slow , but that Chromium feels much snappier.

    Scrolling is fine, it’s most other UI interactions like button presses (both browser UI and in-page).

    I’ve been a Firefox user on Linux for the past 2 years. I recently had to open Chromium to accommodate a site that refused to work with Firefox, and I was quite shocked at how much snappier Chromium’s UI felt. Going back to Firefox the slug

    Here we are in 2020, and web search is not what I’d hoped it would be. I would love to see more niche, small search tools like this rather than better general-purpose search. Building upon that, maybe an aggregator of search results from ma

    When I read the title, I half hoped ‘cross-compiler’ referred to translating between different regex varieties. Anyone know of a tool that does this?

    This would be perfect if it also included a bundler/linker to build single-file executables. I also find it amusing each time the argument against using URLs as import specs comes up. Go already does this, we do it on the web with <

    A bash pitfall which I have experienced but didn’t see mentioned is the behavior of the `set -e` (errexit) option when using command substitution. If you expect failures within the command substitution to cause the script to exit, you’re go

    This is a beautiful idea. A great way to cut through some of the fear and uncertainty that I know many new developers face.

    Neuron is a new Zettelkasten project that shows a lot of promise. The developer is very active and responsive. I like that it is an editor-independent cli tool, with plugins currently for Vim and Emacs. https://neuron.zettel.page
