That seems "open a bug" worthy, for a "lightning-fast" editor.

Anecdote: I filtered to “sold by Walmart” (I forget the exact terminology, but customer support confirmed it was not from a marketplace seller), but the item I received had an Amazon return label and was shipped from an Amazon warehouse.

Is Doom Emacs really 500 MB? How did the author determine that? I use vanilla Emacs and I believe it was closer to 100 MB when I installed it. Related: I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find a development setup that runs on low-end hardwar

I’ve been wanting to make a library for Pico-like interfaces, with the commands and key combinations listed at the bottom of the screen. I thought something like that must exist, but I haven’t found it yet…

I was shocked to discover that the source code distribution for GNU nano is over 3 megabytes. To be fair, it also has more features than I expected, e.g. syntax highlighting. And I’m sure it runs on an obscene number of platforms.

> Matrix doesn’t need a lot of resources for an instance that will only serve one user; a few gigs of RAM and a fairly low-power CPU would suffice. Can anyone running a Matrix server comment on memory usage? I’m not sure which implement

Is that a setup you use regularly, with other apps? How is your swap space configured? My lived experience on Alpine, with no desktop environment on 1 GB is that Firefox needs more memory than that. Browsing the super-lightweight HN site

Thanks! Good to know that Firefox is working for you, even with only 1 GB of memory. I'll need to ponder why my experience was so much worse... Edit to add, in case anyone's curious: suspend works for me (but not hibernate).

Mind sharing more details on your setup? (Distribution, window manager, and, most importantly, browser) I have something similar (but an even older netbook). I'm using Alpine, i3, and mostly w3m (or Midori if JavaScript is needed). G

My thinking was that you could avoid setting up a domain and VPS as well. But you might be right!

In that setup, how does your phone know to access your Pi over the VPN, but use the regular connection for everything else? Subnet mask? Edit: any pointers on how to set this up would be appreciated! Maybe I’m using the wrong search engine,

It looks like the author added authentication to support accessing the app from anywhere. Would it instead be possible/easier to throw it on a VPN and make the VPN accessible from anywhere? The reason I ask is that I want to be able to

Wow! I thought I was familiar with the history of the web, but I didn’t realize there were pre-Mosaic browsers! Just to confirm: you are referring to this link in your profile, correct? https://github.com/gulkily/pollya

Thanks! Having the source code be open source is definitely a step towards preservation.

Is there any organization that buys up rights to classic games and then releases them as open source, removing/replacing third party dependencies in the process? If not, we should start one.

If the target audience for a blog is HN readers, then RSS is probably worth it (since HN readers use RSS, myself included). The biggest issue I have with RSS is that by the time I find interesting blogs, they’ve stopped posting, so I never

As an example, I had a Makefile that ran a JS engine a few hundred times and Deno had ~240ms of startup overheard (on a very slow computer) versus QuickJS having around 20ms. But when running CPU-intensive JS (Marked.js and highlight.js), D

Thanks! I’m surprised that doesn’t cause more issues (especially with unattended updates on servers), e.g. programs not getting restarted when an update to a library is made, or newly started programs loading incompatible (some combination

Are the Linux package manager binary updates (meaning the file updates themselves) transactional somehow? What happens to running processes? Presumably they need to be restarted. Just overwriting files does not seem sufficient, given my lim

Not exactly what you asked for but, if you have time, I would recommend looking at Practical Common Lisp: https://gigamonkeys.com/book/ And also this blog post (which is a much smaller time commitment): https:/&#

Out of curiosity, if you’re familiar with Emacs, what’s your motivation for wanting to use Helix? Built-in LSP support?

Solving Advent of Code problems in a language you implemented yourself should earn you an extra good star or something. Nice work, and cool project!

Did I understand correctly that the native code was compiled without optimization? Meaning “-O0”?

I didn't see it addressed here or in the article: this is a bug, right? Edit: oddly, after searching LLVM bugs, I found a bug that sounds pretty much exactly like this issue... but it's from 2012 and is closed (although the final

Puppy Linux would be my first choice today, but it’s just a personal preference.
