A wrapper over what?? Bun includes the JavaScriptCore engine for JS evaluation, but it's so much more. As for financial database concerns, if you're serious about including a project like th…

Going 1.0 was a requirement for cashing out, don't worry about it. And segfaults don't really even matter as long as you run the code in production with -OReleaseSafe and turn on ubsan, it…

Think you answered your second question with your first.
comment
Yes. It occupies the spot in the Sway tutorials that recommend you "waybar, fuzzel, tofi, [etc]" to fill out the necessities. Noctalia, DMS, and other Quickshell projects cover that void.

Do I need to be present for this thread, or are you capable of projecting the rest all on your own?

I'm not having an argument. I was just trying to explain that "I'm not left or right" sounds like "I am perfectly fine with how things are right now" to the people who th…
comment
People jump to the conclusion because a lot of the time they've had this exact argument already, and they know how it tends to end. Proclaiming oneself a centrist might seem like a noble, moderat…

NixOS. Had prior Linux experience, so wasn't too worried about learning multiple new major paradigms in parallel. Also had been running a lil' NixOS server for half a year before that, so I …

More of a "Ugh, I clicked a mystery link, and it's Twitter" situation for me. A rare case for sure, but I'm petty enough that adding even one (legit, non-bot) MAU irks me.

To be fair, you can also run tmux inside tmux (inside Zellij, inside another tmux, inside screen, etc). :)

Plasma is KDE. What are you trying to say? Edit: oh, I guess swapping FreeBSD for Linux? Yeah nah, I don't know GP, but I suspect this isn't a reason for them to switch OS just to solve th…

And I got a 504 error (served by CloudFront) on that status page earlier. The error message suggested there may have been a great increase in traffic that caused it.

The Referer header strikes again. You'd think the typo in its name would be the worst thing about it, but nope.

Compilation Performance
Small files (<100 lines): <1 second
Medium projects (1K-10K lines): 5-30 seconds
Large projects (100K+ lines): 30-300 seconds with incremental compila…

Preact have been fairly faithful to being <10k (compressed)! (even though they haven't updated the original <3k claim since forever)

Code editor. Imagine VSCode, but with a native GUI for each platform it supports and fewer plugins. And a single `disable_ai` setting that you can use to toggle those kinds of features off or on.

Node is the biggest impediment to performant Node services. The entire value proposition is "What if you could hire people who write code in the most popular programming language in the world?&qu…

Godspeed!

Heheh, it was mostly a reference to my [and mostly others'!] experiments with encoding human languages in a programming language. There are some pretty neat ideas there to explore, like the diffe…
