Ceterum Lemmi necessitates reactiones

  • Mental voice-over

  • The jet pack jets are not visible, but evidence suggests they're there.

  • Sound does conduct, though.

  • You don't need testify/assert (Golang)

    Jump

  • For many cases, writing assert is both trivial and effective, and prevents importing yet another fairly large dependency.

    A little copying is better than a little dependency.

    • Rob Pike

  • A deep dive into deeply recursive Go

    Jump

  • As the article (discovers?) Go does not, and has closed the discussion on, implementing TCO as "will not do."

    I'm a little angry at the Go developer community for endlessly harping on Generics and letting TCO languish (the latter which led to this decision); it doesn't reflect well on the sophistication of the community.

  • Helix Editor Release 25.07 Highlights

    Jump

  • Fantastic! I used EMACS for 3 years, vi(m) for 22, Kakoune for 2, and Helix for the past 3, and Helix is by far the best. I think it benefits from having arrived just in time for TreeSitter and LSP to be mature, and learned a lot from vim and Kakoune.

    I like that it's modal, consistent, and fast.

    Some particularly exciting changes in this release:

    • DAP integration
    • New, more capable, file explorer (the old file explorer is pretty basic)
    • command-mode expansions (%{language}, and %sh{...})!
    • purported improvement in command expansion (hopefully pipe and exec expansions are better)

    Glad to see it!

  • gocryptfs - Encrypted overlay filesystem written in Go (Golang)

    Jump

  • This is a fantastic project, BTW. I've been using it for a ton of stuff for years and have never had a reliability issue. Multi-platform, even Android has a (third party) client (DroidFS).

  • It’s the little things

    Jump

  • I liked it through the last season I watched, which was there season after the big gap. 5, I think? I don't watch a lot of TV, and I don't fanboi very well; was that after he left?

  • A truly advanced society

    Jump

  • This is the best hot take.

  • Would capillary action still work, or does it depend on surface tension? I'm thinking about superfluids. Would the water stop at covering the floor?

  • Everything web based

    Jump

  • This.

    It's a choice.

    I almost never use web apps; I do only when what I'm doing is fundamentally a web interaction: banking, for instance. Everything's on their servers anyway.

    For everything else, I (too) use shell applications. Even if I didn't, there are tons of native GUI applications to choose from, and they are often far better experiences than SPAs or Electron apps: just look at the memory and CPU use, if you want a baseline metric.

    Why do people do this? Because they fancy that they're providing a good enough interface that works on every OS. Which is often not the case, and by the time you invest enough effort to get your SPA working well on every possible platform you could have written native apps that look and function better; and most organizations still throw in the towel and add a caveat "works best in X", giving lie to the "web apps work everywhere." So: laziness, or being cheap, and not really carrying about the user experience: those are the reasons people write web apps.

  • Looking for DLNA Renderer software

    Jump

  • Do any of you know another solution to stream audio from my phone to my server

    I use snapcast throughout my house and devices, but there's no snap_server_ for Android.

    I've been meaning to try roc, for which there is an Android client that will both play and serve.

    Sonobus also claims to be many:many; I haven't tried it either and it doesn't look particularly active.

    I don't use UPnP or DLNA because of the security issues, so I can't offer a suggestion about that. I thought DLNA was a pull oriented protocol - like, to send music from your phone you'd have to select and play on your computer with a DLNA client. Can you push media with DLNA?

  • Revival: There appears to be media consensus: "Bluesky is dead."

    Jump

  • I have a similar problem with Nostr.

    It's a fantastic specification, and I want to build so many things with it, but the community is absolutely flooded with the most embarrassing cryptocurrency people. I am not a cryptocurrency hater, but boy are those people tiresome. If anyone would talk about anything else, it might have a chance, but if you filter the cryptobros, it's a content desert.

  • RustDesk, probably one of the best TeamViewer Alternatives

    Jump

  • It's pretty nice, although IME it's really crashy.

  • Keeping track of different targets in terminal

    Jump

  • I also have the prompt set to the host name. I've never understood why people included their usernames; I don't log in to more than one account on each machine.

  • The needs of the Moopsy outweigh the needs of the few (or the Morn)

    Jump

  • Oh! LOL, yeah, it does. I thought they were from the original meme.

    Well done.

  • Show HN: Dev atrophy test – Can you still code without AI?

    Jump

  • I was pretty excited to try this, until

    There are three levels (Noobie, Le Chad, Hardcore), and the questions cover HTML, CSS, JavaScript, databases, and Node.

    Le sigh.

  • I wrote my PhD Thesis in Typst

    Jump

  • It absolutely is. The typesetting is beautiful, and it's far easier to work with than (LA)TeX. It also doesn't take up 2GB of disk space.
