If anyone is curious, the origami stellated [1] icosahedron in the second image is built from Sonobe modules [2][3], a kind of modular origami. Basic structures formed by Sonobe units have 3-sided 45-45-90 pyramids on top of an underlying p

This justification -- Rome should be written in JS otherwise Rome users are less likely to contribute -- irresponsibly focuses on a secondary goal of the project, at the cost of the primary goal, which is to be a end-to-end toolchain for on

I haven't used Lunar ( https://lunar.fyi/ ), the app the author built, but it looks fantastic! Clearly great effort has been put into it! I really appreciate this class of application that exposes more hardware functiona

The resizing algorithm looks cool: panes are no longer in a grouped hierarchy of vertical and horizontal splits, as in tmux or vim, and pretty much every other customizable layout tool. In a grid of four squares, a corner can either be resi
