They were clearly just having some fun with the site..

Didn’t know Roc was still being worked on. I think it’s an interesting concept for a language that I personally haven’t seen elsewhere

Just commenting to say I've had the same experience. Been using Ghostty since (I was aware of) its release and it has been buttery smooth ever since. I occasionally see people talking about crashing or other issues they've had with Ghostty but I've not seen anything of the sort.

Anecdote: I was trying out a new editor at some point that had just had a huge update. I installed it on NixOS and noticed the new update had not been pushed onto NixPkgs. I went through their contribution guide and found how to update the package. I opened a PR and immediately a couple previous contributors & a specific maintainer were on the PR and left me some helpful comments and questions and I got it merged a few days later.

And I was someone who hadn’t been active in NixPkgs at all. The community reviewing these small package updates are active and really care which is how the number of commits can explode

devenv is essentially a convenience wrapper around nix shell with some nice tooling

You can accomplish this with web without much issue.

Also went from a Glove80 to a Dygma Defy and not looking back. It’s a really cozy keyboard

Doesn’t help that prices are skyrocketing because of circular investing and spending between companies trying to amass as many data centers as possible to cash in on AI hype. These same companies keep pushing this idea that everything you know and do is worthless in the face of prompt-fu and that you have to use these platforms they’re pushing or you’re NGMI.

no sane person would have been able to write such complex piece of software in the pre-AI era.

Insane take

What’s special about Odin when it comes to Raylib? (Genuinely curious)

(Did not read the article, can’t speak to the exact argument the OP made)

I like this argument in the sense that JavaScript & HTML were/are awesome because you can learn from websites that you like the look of. You can just pop open inspect and directly see how to do something.

Modern frameworks have largely broken this to the point that it’s pretty difficult to understand what’s going on on a lot of pages

I’m going to need a source on that

you can’t say certain things

So he sees it as another form of censorship

Seems like a lot of changes to be a .1 release, no?

Really excited for I/O as an interface!

Seems a bit strange to posit fault tolerance as an alternative to a type system. Personally, I view type systems as a bonus to DX more than something strictly designed to prevent errors

If you narrow it down to that minority that fundamentally changes how you interact with text, then I think the answer is a pretty easy "Yes".

do you also not use any plugins just because they aren't available on another machine?

The vast majority of plugins don't fundamentally change how you interact with text.

Or you could use Wasm

I recall seeing some discussion about the UI density Japanese websites (specifically Japanese news sites). For example: https://www.asahi.com/ Now that I think about it, news sites in general have fairly high density UIs, not that I consider them to be shining examples of great UIs. https://www.yahoo.com https://www.bloomberg.com/

Sounds like you're required to be online during 1PM - 6PM, probably for communication purposes. It's really not that bad at all.

Seems like most people really overvalue pressure and long hours I think it’s likely just a difference in personality for people. Some people thrive in that environment and thus believe that it’s the “best way”. Others thrive in a more laid back environment and think the same

If you’re using WSL, why use Cygwin?

Is the “foo.fish” name required? Could I have “bar.fish” with “function foo…” inside and still autoload function foo?

Worth taking into account that a lot of Gen Z responding here are probably not very far in their career. It would be interesting to see how the other generations would have answered if they were at similar points in their life

Obviously?

Meanwhile my M1 is still a racehorse for 90% of my use cases

Mars for the rich, Earth for the poor

It’s new enough to be called new.

What’s so bad about html/template?

I started to question you on the year there… you got me
