Agreed, this just looks like a non-accessible <optgroup> alternative and feels like a step backwards. I fear authors will now use hr instead of properly grouping their elements, to the detriment of screen reader users. Why not just ma

Sourcehut has a static site hosting service, similar to GH pages. I would be surprised if his blog weren't hosted on it.

w3m also supports image display through the sixel, kitty, and mlterm image protocols; these should also work on wayland with terminal emulators that support them (i.e. almost any terminal except vte or alacritty).

Somewhat related fun fact: if you send the Google search home page an unknown UA string (e.g. curl/8.5.0) from a German-speaking country, Google will serve a latin-1 encoded page declared as UTF-8 in a meta tag. (I spent quite a while

The extension system[0] seems interesting; it reminds me of w3m's local CGI scripts. (From what I can tell, w3m's local CGI came first, but I don't know if it influenced DPI and/or if w3m's system had a predecessor

I usually view HN and blogs using a TUI web browser I develop: https://sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/ It understands CSS, so it can show HN in its full orangeness :) Also, it has color contrast correction by default, so do

Maybe you would like UFCS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Function_Call_Syntax e.g. Nim has it, and it lets you do this: proc add(self: MyList, e: int) = # [insert append code here] mylist.add(1) # eq

It is not confusing at all. Taiwan is a commonly used name for the ROC, and (mainland) China is generally understood as a reference to the PRC. Since the de facto territories of the two states are common knowledge, you can unambiguously ref

Interesting, I've always thought it's & pronounced as Latin `et', which sounds like `at', so &x gives a pointer that "points at" x. Also, the "near on the keyboard" idea doesn't make sens

As another person who had no clue about how "real" browsers work but still decided to write a browser[1] (with a custom layout engine and whatnot): go for it. It is a very rewarding experience to see websites rendered by your code

I would guess they just wanted to make it work with existing tooling, so that e.g. standard JS syntax highlighters wouldn't break on code written in this framework.

Debian stable is best for servers and computers where you don't always need the latest versions of programs but still need security updates. If you're e.g. a desktop computer power-user who does want to use the newest packages,

One thing to note: the author of the linked blog posts uses nvi, which is not exactly vi either (but rather, a reimplementation of vi to circumvent copyright issues originating from ex/vi being based on ed). It gets very close, but t

I like fmt better because it works on all vi's. It's also closer to the UNIX philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well. Also, it's not just fmt you can use. Want to sort a paragraph of lines? !}sort^M and you're do
