Personally, I'd expect a few good years of stewardship, and then a decline in investment. I can only hope there are enough community members to keep things going by then.

I used Texmacs all through my Master's degree. I loved it because it was excellent for quickly writing math, and building tables (I had to do this often). It would not have been excellent if I hadn't dedicated time to learning the

As a Kagi subscriber, I find this to be mostly useful. I'd say I do about 50% standard Kagi searches, 50% Kagi assistant searches/conversations. This new ability to change the level of "research" performed can be genuine

Tried it out on Linux. Worked better than I expected. Sites that are text heavy render well, and quickly. Sites with more "customization" sometimes struggled with rendering; stuff all over the place. Memory usage seemed a bit high

I would love to have something like this for all the chores around my house. But I also have serious reservations about the increased level insight into my private home life this could provide to the manufacturer. Look at cases like the rin

Seems like this space is really heating up the last few weeks. The rust based tool sps[0] is also looking to fill this niche, though perhaps being much closer to brew's system. [0] https://github.com/alexykn/sps

I think this will be a big boost to the swift ecosystem. The ability to add and remove language versions as needed is so convenient, and I'm glad more and more languages are adding it.

This was a really great write-up, and gives me a lot of hope for the future of Typst. I think one of the best ways to overcome the enormous momentum of TeX is to point out its limitations (while still keeping an eye on Typst's limitati

And what about, for example, those government contractors who are in the same position as you: they have a large C++ codebase that currently works, and is too big to re-write in rust? Now they're being asked to make it safer. How will

Been using taskwarrior (and the really great TUI interface https://github.com/kdheepak/taskwarrior-tui ) for about 6 months now. My favorite things: - really fast day-to-day navigation using vim-like controls in the TUI

So many negative takes here. Does it look perfect? No, it's an alpha. I think the most important thing is that it's built on a solid base that will allow it to grow into a really really great DE.

Yes, these mechanical engineering senior design projects at JHU are all sponsored by some organization or another, and the sponsor gets to keep the end product (and in this case also patent pending). Source: did a mechanical engineering sen

As someone who once rode a unicycle (also in the North East of England), I can say that I received almost exactly the same responses listed here.

I love using nushell, and I hope it becomes a standard going forward. I do sometimes feel slightly annoyed that I have to type out a bit more in nushell, as opposed to simply tacking on another flag, but I think JT makes a really great case

At my previous job we had to get data off a ship after a test. The upload rate off the ship was slow. The solution was to put the data on drives, put them in a helicopter, and fly them to land.

FYI, in the learning mission, it often asks something like "Get all of the columns from the "pods_list" table where status is 'functioning', and range is more than 1500." I think it really means "Get all

I've been using texmacs for a little over year now, and have loved it. For me, the nicest part is much simpler creation and editing of tables and aligned math. I also appreciate the image insertion; in LaTeX my images often end up not

So it sounds like one of the advantages of the Zed ecosystem is that its data can go into three file formats (zson, zng, zst), each designed for a specific use case, and convert between them easily and without loss. And it seems like the ne
