Having worked a bit in a conceptually similar product, in my opinion the real problem is how you define the layout of your UI, not the individual components.

I wanted to give it a try since I have a Kobo laying around but seems like TightVNC is Windows-only.

+1 As a fellow global search fan, FZF + the silver searcher is the way to go. You just type `:Ag <your string>` and you're done.

You can safely add Argentina to the list

by reading through the issues in Alacritty you realize that it's optimized for a very specific set of use cases, for example if you're using a tiling window manager you don't miss tabs at all (in fact they are an annoyance)

I understand the point of view of the author, but at the same time I appreciate how simple and not bloated Alacritty is, there is great software out there but terribly bloated with features that become useful only in edge cases.

Gotcha, thank you!

I was super interested in the commit messages, does anyone know what happened to them?

It all boils down to personal preference, do what works for you.

I personally have found typing to be the best, nothing beats plain text files that you can later search on.

The only exception is when you want to draw diagrams or similar stuff, I mean you can sort of draw a diagram with ASCII but is far from practical.

yes! thank you for sharing! I have found this link after posting, and it's great.

Another promising resource I've found is Martin Kleppmann's "Distributed Systems Lecture Series" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeKd45zvjcDFUEv_ohr_H...

Martin Kleppmann's "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" discusses this https://dataintensive.net/

Besides being a good read overall, the book discusses topics like this one in detail and with a healthy attitude (people tend to have strong opinions on this)

This is incredible, I will definitely spend some time tomorrow looking how to help with TS/JS support (if possible)

A lot of people are mentioning that this is old news, but that's not the case for me: thanks for sharing!

The first edition is a great book, I completely recommend the first ~4 chapters, after that the ROI is not as good.

Personal opinion: I have found "Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective" to be a better introduction to the same set of topics.

Thanks for the last link! I didn't watch that one

This topic in particular is very dear to my heart since I learnt the shuffle as a kid, and it was wonderful to rediscover it in a new light with some math background being an adult.

For those interested, the shuffle is also called "faro" shuffle and was likely invented to cheat at a game with the same name.

There's a wonderful book "Magic Tricks, Card Shuffling and Dynamic Computer Memories" that describes the mathematics of perfect shuffles, highly recommended!

I'm doing the CS:APP3e course and out of curiosity searched about this exact same topic yesterday, crazy!

I'm learning a great deal from the responses here, thank you.

If you are in the same position I was (self-taught dev looking to improve your general understanding) I can't recommend this course/book highly enough:

- Book: http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/3e/home.html - Lectures: https://scs.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Sessions/List.a...

Another play from Tom Stoppard that I enjoyed is “Darkside”, combines Pink Floyd, Philosophy and humor.

Thank you! I will take a look at this

You may find my blog interesting if you like a mix of [*nix][1] and a variety CS topics, from the [Actor Model][2] to [Linear Transformations][3].

Hey! Thanks for the feedback, you are already the second person to share this with me, so clearly I messed up!

My intention was to do a follow up post with affine transformations, but I failed to communicate that.

Thank you very much for pointing this! we'll fix it soon.

Hey HN! I wrote a bit about my experiences dealing with communication in remote teams, and how I'm trying to get better at it.

Hey, article author here, thank you for passing by!

This is correct but misses the point of the article. The idea is to introduce the Actor Model to people unfamiliar with it, using one of the most popular languages out there.
