Now that I’m at my laptop I can see that you are correct on most things at least now being vendored–though it took me a while to find it since the scripts in the <body> like it’s last decade instead of in the <head> with asyn

IIRC, this platform uses CDN-hosted libraries rather than bundling/vendoring. As a result, users are exposed to not just outages of the CDNs but also the data collected by these servers. That’s a bummer. …but it’s not the only bummer.

If that's true, I'll need to give it another look to consolidate all these different protocols I'm using (IRC, XMPP, Matrix). It must have been the documentation is was reading that lead me to believe this.

I don’t know if this has changed since I last used WeeChat, but I really wish there was just a configuration file I could edit for all of the settings. Most of the settings seemed to involve command prompts and they don’t port well betwee

There’s a new article every day on HN talking about the ethics of AI and many of them call out Microsoft GitHub’s Copilot, so I guess you've been missing a lot.

A lot of folks only care about the visual output of Markdown with little regard for the HTML semantics of the output or the plaintext legibility. This is why tools like these are created. Its also the audience that made READMEs no longer

Sprayed with cooking spray, then dusted with flavored gelatin power & quickly popped in the oven, you will get something that resembles those flavored popcorns with a sucker-like candy shell.

Can confirm on this one as a great bargain for the capabilities when I picked it up 1–2 years ago. Beside general home network (600/600), it also forwards the requests to my home server, blocks ads, handles WoL, & hosts coturn. Eve

Getting someone up and running with a flake.nix with a defined devShell is just as simple and probably requires less knowledge since it's not another tool bolted on. Making the env and CI reproducible should be seen more like a good st

Disagree. The larger selling point is Nix reproducible builds. Getting a reproducible developer environment is a start, but everything inside that “shell” is then mutable. Hiding Nix behind YAML is obscuring a tool, Nix, to make the entire

Absolutely fair to call out both on similar grounds on openness and privacy being proprietary (publicly-traded megacorp vs. VC funded). One difference would be at least GitHub results can be found with a search engine and without authentica

ESL learners would probably appreciate the visual split between voiced ð & voiceless þ from the th digraph that isn’t a dental fricative (e.g. Thailand, Thomas, Thames). With such a reform we could replace “the” with standalone “ð” whic

I prefer Flakes non-Flakes, but it’s disappointing that you can’t specify mirrors unlike the fetch* commands. Things go down on the internet & mirrors are a way to cover that sitution. There’s nothing like a failing CI because the one o

They’ll have a difficult time attracting some users when the only chat option is proprietary and to join the “ecosystem” users must create a Microsoft GitHub account in order to sign-in. We’ve seen stories of accounts banned (like the star

You can join an XMPP MUC today to bring back that feeling and the server options are light enough to self-host on a home network unlike some other FOSS decentralized chat options.

Except it’s often used in a way that goes beyond chitchat and bouncing ideas. I was pretty active in a programming community a few years ago, and then they decided to move official chat exclusively Discord which I disagree with on principle

Pithy retort: that must be a parallel dimension to suggest Discord is good for privacy. Letting ideas float around a chatroom is good but communities hopefully have motivated members to consolidate and publish some of the good ideas for pos

Same argument for why we should use tabs over space when accessibility seems squarely focused on the blind and screen readers when visual impairment is a broad spectrum. My eyesight isn’t ‘bad’, but it isn’t what it used to be and with so m

At the cost of smoothing everything out losing a lot of texture and detail. In some cases it does look better because the artifacts are smoothed over, but it’s not a clear-cut. Especially with photography where the ISO grain is often a part
