I use isync (mbsync), mu, and Emacs for my e-mail needs and it work fine. Both isync and mu4e needed a bit of configuration (and Emacs itself needed one change to stop automatically breaking lines), but it's been working well for years

I thought Rust still used LLVM (a C++ project) for the backend, did they already switch to Cranelift?

Grandia 2 on the PS2 was a lot of fun, it displaced Legend of Dragoon for my favourite battle system in a jRPG. Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve are also pretty neat, but I prefer Grandia 2 and Legend of Dragoon's party-based systems ove

My Emacs came with a good text editor out of the box. If yours doesn't you may have one of those terrible configurations which uses Evil.

I read it more as katrotz cancelling YTP because it became more expensive while katrotz' income did not increase by the same amount. If things become more expensive and my wages don't increase as much I am going to cut some expens

The reason I switched from Scheme to Common Lisp was because I wanted type checking more than I wanted hygienic macros or case-sensitive (by default) symbols. Being able to do something like: (deftype Digit () '(Integer 0 9)

Perl was developed in 1987, the first Common Lisp standard was released in 1984, 3 years earlier. Common Lisp allows arguments like so: (defun frobnicate (foo &key (bar (Vector 1 2 3)) (baz 'quux)) (declare (type Foo foo)

I'd say -O2 -march=native -mtune=native is good enough, you get (some) AVX without the O3 weirdness.

I'm sure the good people at KDE wouldn't mind delaying 6.8 if more work is needed for something as important as accessibility. And let's be real: if you don't need voice input then KDE on Wayland is ready.

Setting up a Japanese IME in a so-called 'immutable' distro is a good way of developing a drinking problem. Tip: you really don't want ibus, you want fcitx5. No offence to the ibus developers, but ibus is garbage, fcitx is wa

With both AoC and Project Euler I like seeing how fast I can get my solution to run with SBCL. Finding all palindromic primes below a million in less than a second is pretty neat.

I believe the difference is between Omarchy simply having some default configuration for certain applications compared to CachyOS having a repository with a larger amount of packages which are being maintained by the CachyOS devs.

I use lemurs because as far as I can tell there's no good graphical display managers (lightdm may be the closest as SDDM doesn't show battery level and GDM doesn't allow changing the mouse cursor theme).

I'd say it's better for them to have built a solid foundation they can add more content to than if they had started with a massive amount of content for a game that was half-baked at best. Though I would've liked it if they h

My experience installing the Heroic Games Launcher on Arch was just: - git clone the heroic-games-launcher AUR repo, - makepkg -sc, - pacman -U. And it just worked. This was something like a month ago, though so maybe my experience is more
