Happy to see PEP 582 gaining traction, the last attempt I saw in this space was https://github.com/cs01/pythonloc .

It isn't surprising to me that instruction counts as a performance metric would have less variance than wall time. Did you know that the environment size can actually affect wall time? > We see that something external and orthogonal

Have a look at https://github.com/zyedidia/micro , which has those keybindings by default. Mouse support too. Completely eliminated the text editing learning curve for me, and years later, I still use it happily. Edit:

Yeah, I was happy to see the switch away from C random/srandom or rand/srand. Not my area either, but a little surprised why a PCG-family non-CSPRNG algorithm wasn’t used: https://www.pcg-random.org/posts/a-qu

Love how my old Galaxy S6 is stuck on ancient Android 7. And it's the verizon version too, so I can't unlock the bootloader. Perfectly capable device, what a shame. Switched to iPhone SE a while ago because of this.

On my work laptop (macOS Catalina), I get a bunch of `in-addr.arpa` - seems to be reverse lookups. Is that the case for you, too?

go mod init github.com/your/project Then, go get -v will download your dependencies to GOPATH, and (re)generate go.mod, go.sum. For info on how to update dependencies, read `go help get`. When using modules (presence of a valid go

I switched from pointing various things to cloudflare to simply using NextDNS a while ago, and it's just excellent. The onboarding flow was way faster and easier than I thought it would be (fantastic setup documentation). Configuration

> Even worse, iOS forces you to use a fake VPN to change DNS servers at all on cellular! This is a major pain point for me - I'm trying to use both NextDNS and Tailscale on my iPhone SE 2016, and confirmed that they clash with each

Agree with all these points (also an iPhone SE 2016 user). One more point to consider is whether or not the iPhone SE 2016 will continue to get OS updates.

Yes. I've long been impressed with the single core performance and power efficiency of apple's mobile SoCs. Same-generation SoCs used on a variety of androids can't even compare. Google Maps for example was running like total

This looks pretty clean! The enhanced readability reminds me of Wikiwand. If you're looking for a bit of feedback, the search doesn't seem to handle fast typing well. I tried searching for "Frank Chu" and it seems that i

At least on linux, go's native resolver follows a sane subset of glibc conventions like parsing /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts [1]. As long as your dns configuration is defined there, you

Hi Dima - I'm assuming you're aware of dnscrypt-proxy and wrote nss-tls because you wanted a lighter weight implementation of a subset of dnscrypt-proxy's features on a specific platform (linux/glibc, for example this wo

Exactly this. The "purity" of OSS development needs to be reflected in the "purity" of donations for this to work. Small donations should represent nothing more than a token of appreciation. Large donations, well... mone

Agreed. Although alternatively, some ARM SoCs have relatively weak iGPUs, which make them great hobbyist headless machines.

The recent STX form factors are a wonderful boon to SFF consumer computing, and this is a welcome step towards wider SFF adoption. Looking forward to the gradual miniturization of desktops, love efficiency at lower TDPs.

Right, there's always going to be some additional cognitive overhead with every new tool you adopt. The question is how much you value its benefits for your use case, and is it worth those costs. If you're so used to find, and it

fd is excellent for casual interactive use, i've had a great UX with it and performance feels on par with GNU find.
