Chris Oakman ported the parinfer algorithm to Lua [1]. I used this to write a parinfer plugin for Neovim [2]. I use Fennel (a Lisp that compiles to Lua) for all of my Neovim config and so use parinfer everyday. It works exceptionally well (

Note the AUR package was removed because it's since been packaged in the official Arch repos. There is a ghostty-git AUR repo for tracking the main branch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ghostty-git

Apple Terminal has a lot of problems. As others have mentioned, it lacks support for 24 bit color, enforces minimum contrast ratios without any ability to disable them (meaning you cannot set arbitrary color themes), is hopelessly bad at Un

Terminals do have a concept of a cursor (there are dedicated control sequences for cursor management). There's no fundamental reason a terminal emulator couldn't implement an animated cursor like this, my guess as to why no one ha

As a long time Vim user I’m extremely thankful for Bram’s creation and stewardship of an incredible piece of software. He gave the world an amazing gift. I’ve interacted with Bram a few times personally in the process of submitting changes

In contrast, for me this seems like the "killer feature" that differentiates it from the current generation of headsets. I've always been completely uninterested in anything AR/VR and a big reason for that is that these

I mean to be fair, in that video he was recording a video using the headset. In that context, I don't think it's _that_ different from a parent pressing their eye into a camcorder or holding up a smart phone.

“Atlasean task” sounds like a Jira ticket.

You can invoke Zig without build.zig: zig build-obj file.zig And then include the object file along with your other sources. How you do this will of course depend on your build system.

Indeed. The combination of direnv and exrc is very potent.

Probably true, but the Pi4 is not up to the task of transcoding 4k video.

One feature I'm personally excited about is the "undeprecation" of the 'exrc' option, which allows project-specific configuration. Vim (and thus Neovim) has had the 'exrc' option for a long time, which loa

Neovim uses LuaJIT on most distributions (or when building from source), which is substantially faster than Vimscript. Although this only really matters in computation-heavy plugins. The only other "advantage" is that the Neovim d

You can use Neovim without a framework. In fact, for the most part Neovim will work as-is with a .vimrc written for Vim (there are some options that are specific to Vim or Neovim, but not many, as both projects port features from the other)

I have been installing into $HOME/.local for a while now and it works wonderfully. I build from source, but it should work just as well from a tar or AppImage.

It is also supported by iTerm2, Wezterm, and foot. Alacritty does not (yet) support dynamically modifying the key encoding per-application, but you can hardcode the encodings in your config file (there is an issue in the Alacritty repo that

It is briefly mentioned in this post, but this work is based on a proposal by Paul Evans [1] (creator of libtickit and libvterm, among others). Kovid deserves credit for addressing some of the issues in the original proposal, and for docume
