Do you think Bun's migration was irresponsible?

Loved Damn Small Linux, a Knoppix variant.

Neat. Where can I submit feedback? Cargo.lock shouldn’t be in gitignore :)

CAN you always avoid a bike lane? I don't think so. There's lots of shared bike lanes/right turn lanes, bike lanes that terminate unexpectedly, etc.

I don't think they're wildly different purposes. They're the same purpose (to set shell settings) with different scopes (all users, one user, interactive shells only, etc.).

Would definitely consider for my next laptop. What’s the best solution for “Mac Subsystem for Linux”?

The "LLMs shouldn't be writing code" take is starting to feel like the new "we should all just use No-Code."

We’ve been trying to "build a better layer" for thirty years. From Dreamweaver to Scratch to Bubble, the goal was always the same: hide the syntax so the "logic" can shine. But it turns out, the syntax wasn't the enemy—the abstraction ceiling was.

Hey man, you’re not blocked. Read you loud and clear. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and yours.

Hey, Merry Christmas. Thanks for posting.

Along these lines, Go eliminates many formatting decisions at the syntax level. E.g.,

  func main()
  {
          fmt.Println("HELLOWORLD")
  }

Ha, I use Deno just as a formatter also! It’s great for Markdown formatting.

I love RDP! It really is an impressive technology. I work in-office somewhere, and when I'm on campus, RDPing into my desk laptop from a conference room client has native performance, with audio even.

What is the best remote desktop server for Linux?

Yeah, but unlike bundle, uv locks in your Python version and downloads that Python version as needed. It’s like bundle and rbenv combined.

It’s always heralded as a great CS debate, but Tanenbaum’s position seems so obviously silly to me.

Tanenbaum: Microkernels are superior to monolithic kernels.

Torvalds: I agree— so go ahead and write a Production microkernel…

I think Gitea not being maintained via Gitea was reason enough to fork it— I am glad Forgejo did!

Ultimately, you have to store your backup codes somewhere. So the only solution besides using your password manager is using a second password manager. Or not using a password manager to save off your backup codes, which has its own disadvantages.

There's lots of cases where 2FA reduces to 1FA. E.g. logging into a website on your mobile phone, and getting your TOTP or SMS code on that same phone. In fact-- that case is so common I wonder if we should just get more used to the idea of 1FA, with smartphone passkeys/biometrics/SSO being the auth factor. As it stands, if you compromise someone's smartphone (and have their smartphone PIN), the odds are great you can autofill any password you like on their phone and pull up any needed 2FA tokens as well.

They are probably effectively two builds of the same OS.

The dream. Someone posted this, which is designed along these lines, here not long ago. https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo

Caddy is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It is such a good reverse proxy and a paradigm-shifter for its auto-certificates and HTTP/3 support. It's a great example of how high quality Go software can be. (Thank you Matt Holt)

I used this to calculate answers for calculus worksheets in LaTeX format in grad school.

This is the fastest LSP server I've ever used! It always impresses me.

I may be dumb but is the second derivative of a job sector declining that disastrous? Is that not just normal ebb and flow?

Also I think the HN title is wrong; IT employment's yearly growth increase by just 700 jobs/year in 2023.

Is there a real chance of third party app stores on iOS anytime soon?

So the question is: should there exist a method that means “bring down the whole ship”. (Or, should that method be something more severe than “panic”, and panic should be redefined with a more limited scope.)

PuTTY is very popular!
