Nope, sorry, still not seeing it. You'll have to spell it out for me.

Alyx has implications for 3, and 3 will almost certainly follow on from Alyx, if that helps :-)

There are rumours that they are working on this, but I assume they've chosen to keep the exact software experience of the Frame under wraps for now. It would certainly make the experience of gami…

I'd agree with that, yeah. If this was anything more important, I'd give it much more guidance, lay down the core architectural primitives myself, take over the reins more in general, etc - …

I described my experience using Claude Code Web to vibe-code a language interpreter here [0], with a link to the closed PRs [1]. As it turns out, you don't really need to "save the state&quo…

I've also had success with this. One of my hobby horses is a second, independent implementation of the Perchance language for creating random generators [0]. Perchance is genuinely very cool, but…

What's more likely: every single Rust programmer is wrong, or you're just not seeing the forest for the trees?
comment
This is not really a serious issue for any practicing Rust programmers.
comment
I'm sure we all assumed that they came from the same codebase, but I don't think any of us were expecting the features to be shipped to both platforms and disabled at runtime as required. I …

For me, it's always been the lack of a power-user-friendly windowing/workspace scheme. You can approximate a tiling window manager using yabai or similar solutions, but it's just not th…

Have you tried nushell?

This has an aggressive amount of designed-by-AI. Can you turn it down a bit? It's quite visually distracting right now.

Niri has an overview view to help with this. You can see all of your workspaces and their strips, and move applications from strip to strip.
comment
You can also set window rules in Niri :-)

I'm not a Niri stan by any means - I only switched to it the other week, and was using sway/i3 before then - but I suspect that most alternatives have answers to these, too. > Especially …

I haven't used it in some years, but I found AwesomeWM to work well for me for the usecase of configurable predefined window layouts. Is there anything in particular about Xmonad that keeps you c…

I'm still a Niri newbie, but I'm enjoying the scrolling as a ways to have "subworkspaces": when I'm working on a full-stack project, for example, I can scroll between the back…

Configuring your WM in Haskell seems fun, but I suspect "fun" is the primary motivator, not any kind of practical reason. Type-checking keybindings is cute, but you're going to discover…

I'd be willing to take the L on the hardware in order to be able to actually run the software I care about. (I own a Vision Pro and barely use it because the pejorative description of "an iP…
