(author here) It's exactly this - I do regret using "db" a bit now after reading all of the comments here, as it's taken away focus from the main point. But yes, the post had to fit on a single page, and I needed to pick

(author here) This is actually closer to the way the first draft of this article was written. Unfortunately, some readability was lost to make it fit on a single page. 100% agree that a statement like this is harder to reason about and shou

Which book is being read in that screenshot? Looks interesting. I did a few searches based on the text and couldn't find it.

I still have a Dell Latitude D820 kicking around at home with the same display specs. I threw in a 256gb SSD, 4GB of RAM, and might have upgraded the CPU (can't remember exactly). According to what I can find online, it retailed for $2

Honestly - CLI apps that need to run on multiple platforms. I once built a version of https://github.com/lovebrew/lovebrew (back when it was written in Nim) using Cosmopolitan 2, and I got back a single binary that ran

https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy gives very, very solid access to the Python ecosystem from Nim - I've copied code from Python docs and have had it work with hardly any changes. Hopefully that's a good enoug

This is a really fantastic resource for learning programming with Nim. I've started recommending it to folks that are newer to programming that want to try Nim out for various reasons. The only downside is that it is written by a non-n

Yeah, that must be a Safari thing. I pulled out my Nexus 5 (circa 2013) and everything feels instant. I don't have any working iOS devices lying around to test on unfortunately.

Sorry for that (and thanks to all the folks that pointed out the word matching code was wrong). I've pushed an updated version, it's 63 lines now. Turns out, HN finds and reports bugs much faster than family and friends :)

Looks like they doubled the size by accident, in the network debugger the first is a 302 that resolves to the actual file. It shows 84kb twice because of that.

Yep, I have the wrong meta tag I believe: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> That should fix it, I'll push a new ver

Yup, exactly. I've considered adding a bloom filter check for words but I've accomplished what I wanted to try out. Maybe if I'm ever interested in the future! It'd be very easy to check against just a list of words, but

Oh wow, I never noticed that myself. I'll fix it once I'm at my computer, thanks for pointing it out! The fix will probably be something like if letter not in (.bg-warning in first .guess).innerText then add .bg-warning H

+1 to what planetis mentioned. I didn't include a full explanation of the macro because I was more or less showing off a project - not doing a full tutorial of all of the internal bits and implementation details of what libraries I was

If I understood your point correctly you are talking about the binary size? Me naively compiling with `nim c -d:release` and running `strip` on it gives the server binary to be around 700kb, and it's dynamically linked to glibc. There

As far as Nim's dependencies go in this case, it's literally just Karax (no dependencies), Jester (depends on httpbeast which has no dependencies) and treeform's ws library (no dependencies). So the only thing in this chain t

In case you want a quick example of a backend application in Nim, I've written a small post[1] describing how to create a room based chat using it and HTMX. In total, it's around 70 lines of code (though it doesn't cover more

I doubt it for two reasons: 1. nginx has had many more years of performance tuning (it's 17 years old) than a project made in the last few years. 2. redbean is x86 only if I'm not mistaken (it's using x86-64 from αcτµαlly pδr

Haha, this is just a school project so I don't think they'll go after me. We struggled with coming up with a name though, just picked one so that we could submit it. If there was a ton of feedback or interest we'd probably re

Hello HN! I'm sharing a small project I built with two other students. We built it in three weeks for a UI/design class back in April of this year. Nestly is a nested time tracker. It's similar to Dynalist and Workflowy in th

Nope, Ryzen 3500u with integrated graphics :) There were quite a few issues with amdgpu that would get fixed in certain kernel/video driver updates, and broken in other ones.

The really nice thing about `dnf` is that you can easily downgrade or rollback an update. There's also an easy way to see all of the packages that have been installed by the user to help track down when or what broke a system (which I

Flatpak + user maintained copr's have been mostly able to fill that void for me. The only package I've had to compile so far (that would have been available in the AUR) is wrk, a HTTP benchmarking tool. There is a copr available f
