Perhaps there is a balance to be struck? I have thought long and hard about this, and I have settled on taking notes by typing on my laptop. The benefits are far too many: I do not have to carry my notes around to read them on the commute;

I share your wish. Emacs, as wonderful as it is, has accumulated a lot of cruft over the decades and would benefit immensely from a rewrite. A "Neo-Emacs" could be multithreaded from the ground up and drop support for archaic plat

I've been seeing this pattern of text crop up in many places. On LinkedIn, much of my feed is filled with posts of short sentences that follow this exact pattern. What's more, even the replies are obviously AI-generated.

One thing LLMs are surprisingly bad at is producing correct LaTeX diagram code. Very often I've tried to describe in detail an electric circuit, a graph (the data structure), or an automaton so I can quickly visualize something I'

Kinda similar—Raku is on my radar. I won't have time to take a look at it this year. Maybe it can become my next year's resolution. :)

I’m in the same boat. I’ve internalized Vim keybindings so much that there’s no friction between thinking and doing on the screen. If I want to place the cursor on the next line, move to the end and add a semicolon, then jump to the end of

I’m sorry, but any non-trivial Zig code gives me PTSD flashbacks of C. I don’t understand who Zig is targeting: with pervasive mutability, manual allocation, and a lack of proper sum types, it feels like a step back from languages such as R

There is something remarkably beautiful about minimal websites that use primarily text, perhaps with one or two images, and only styles that enhance readability. This is unbeatable UX. Whenever I encounter sites like these, I envision an al

I've been using Kokoro TTS with the CLI app, audiblez, mentioned in the "Similar Projects" section of the README. The model is fast and delivers impressive quality for its small size. Some issues I have faced, however, are: a

Congratulations to the Zod team on the new release. At the risk of sounding overtly negative, I can't help but shudder when I think about the number of breaking changes outlined in the migration guide. For projects that rely heavily on

I have never used Roam before, but I've been happily using an Emacs package called org-roam [0] for the past couple of years. When paired with org-roam-ui [1], it provides everything I need: basic linking, timestamped notes, and a grap

It took me a few tries to get comfortable with Rust—its ownership model, lifetimes, and pervasive use of enums and pattern matching were daunting at first. In my initial attempt, I felt overwhelmed very early on. The second time, I was too

From the movie, The Life of Pi: Animals don't think like we do! People who forget that get themselves killed. When you look into an animal's eyes, you are seeing your own emotions reflected back at you, and nothing else.

I understand your perspective. I like to view niche languages as a medium for learning. For instance, I enjoy using Rust in my personal projects—even if many of these projects may never be released—because the lessons on immutability, funct
