Man I always look at this project with nothing by awe. I'd love to start something like this... if you're in central Switzerland and would like to copy their model, hit me up.

It's all written in shell, no other dependencies. This is what so many shells that tried to "revitalize" sh missed! I'll definitely adopt this.

My experience with HackerNews would be significantly improved if I could exclude the LLM-related stuff... it's overwhelming.

My apologies: "mydependencies" are packages from PyPI ( https://pypi.org/ ), as if you did "pip install ...".

I adore the uv add <mydependencies> --script mycoolscript.py And then shoving #!/usr/bin/env -S uv run on top so I can run Python scripts easily. It's great!

Haiku/BeOS to me is simply peak computer design. This is beautiful!

We use it for testing binary embedded Linux distros where tricking the OS to think there's a display connected introduces a new variable that is not present in the user's deployment - and it's a cheap hardware solution. Buyin

While others have expressed sentiments about YouTube and Google, let me tell you what I really hate - translated reddit posts. They're polluting search results and it's the ultimate disrespect against multi-lingual users... it&#x2

What are you talking about? 25~30k is almost a year's salaries for a dev in Eastern Europe/South America.

If we're talking numbers, there are many, many more embedded systems than general purpose computers. And these are mostly built on ancient process nodes compared to the cutting edge we have today; the shiny octa-cores on our phones are

I love Rust, but I after doing it for a little while, I completely understand the "brain drain" aspect... yes, I get significantly better programs, but it is tiring to fight the borrow-checker sometimes. Heck, I currently am pro

It's about half of my state in Brazil (which is one of the smallest in the country). However, I've been to Belgium many times and it feels bigger. I think the key is the population density: 388/km^2 in Belgium vs 70/km

I profoundly do not understand why one needs Hugo or Jekyll or whatever other generator. Why not write HTML in the first place? It's so absurdly easy and it makes you not depend on external infrastructure at all. I tried some generator

It's obvious to you becase you seem like a decent human being, judging from this comment.

The response here would be significantly different if this was about measuring the performance of software engineers in wealthy countries.

Nobody is stopping you from using master, you can do whatever you want. The author even recognizes that very clearly in the text. You can name all your default branches `megazord`. Hell, you can fork git, call it "gitzord" and enf

After using delta for a while, I'm going back to the regular diff view... it's not that it isn't good, but I'm constantly copying diffs (yes, I know I can generate patches) and the pretty output breaks that workflow. Als

This comment makes zero sense. It's a meta-distribution: it builds a custom one for you. Professional custom embedded distros are a different beast altogether from the vanilla distros.
