I bought an S10e a while back because I didn't want to use iOS anymore. At the time it was the smallest Android phone with a headphone jack. It's decent hardware, a little too large, and with some terrible Samsung-bloatware on it

The old iPhone SE had two things that appealed to me (and anecdotally, that appealed to some of my friends): 1. it was small-ish 2. it had a headphone jack Without those I don't see this as a viable followup product.

Google Meet is the only one of these that has always worked reliably for me. Doesn't require any strange clients, works in most browsers, never randomly fails to move just some person's audio and so on. Disclaimer: I work for Alph

Agree - my initial reaction to this was "oh no", or to quote someone from IRC "millions of kids can now learn how to configure DNS". FWIW, it seems like 1.1.1.3 doesn't block sites like Twitter where a lot of the ki

This is generally how the media industry works. Paying for content (online at least) is almost always more complex, less flexible and lower quality. Add to that the various geographical restrictions (have the audacity to live outside of the

Ah, you're right of course - fixed. Though that still won't make this portable, as I'm using an SBCL-specific way of accessing argv.

Neat! I wonder if the character decoding & regex usage has noticeable performance impact. My Common Lisp version was sped up somewhat by switching from a character stream to a byte stream: https://git.tazj.in/tree/f

I actually prefer the Nix language[0] over Scheme, mostly because I enjoy not having to deal with namespaces (which also has drawbacks) and instead modifying one large expression. [0]: https://github.com/tazjin/nix-1p

Well, Nix is a much wider ecosystem than "just" NixOS - the package manager has many other applications, too (for example I gave a talk about Nixery this year). From that perspective I don't find it so surprising that there&#
