Perhaps of interest: I came across this retrospective of the author of that site and how he moved it to static hosting a couple of years ago [1]. I would also say that this library covers more or less the “lower half” of solo ball juggling

If you are just creating a simple document with default styling, the main advantage you get from Typst is near-instant compilation speed. Pandoc to HTML is similar though, but if you’re generating PDFs with LaTeX the compilation delays can

It’s also what Thunderbird is using to build their paid email hosting. Seems like a very ambitious project mostly done by a single person – impressive!

The issue I have with this is that it deletes the whole message, not just the media. In WhatsApp, you can delete media from the images/video folders and the messages remain in the conversation, they even still have the blurry preview i

From what I can gather, they are not yet incorporated and they are working through organizational questions in [1] and the issues thereof. The `ACCOUNTS.md` file there gives an idea about the main people behind the project and the donation

Technically the big O notation denotes an upper bound, i.e. it doesn’t mean “grows as fast as” but “grows at most as fast as”. This means that any algorithm that’s O(n²) is also O(n³) and O(n⁴) etc., but we usually try to give the smallest

That’s exciting! Is there a summary of what’s new in 1.0 somewhere? Usually the version announcements contain an overview of the most important changes, but this one is more of a retrospective and general overview apparently.

You could still move e.g. /nix to the BTRFS disks and only keep /boot on the thumb drive, no? That’s more or less how I have NixOS set up with ZFS. But your solution is of course much fancier :D

From what I can tell, the “Ubuntu Mozilla Team” does not consist of people from Mozilla but rather just people packaging Mozilla software for Ubuntu. The latest packages in that PPA have been uploaded by Rico Tzschichholz, who does not appe

I’m continuously impressed by the care and effort that goes into the developer experience of Elixir. Those improvements of the (already pretty great) documentation and the error messages look like they will make a real difference.

The way I see it, the problem is the C in CSS. If you rely on `.author-bio > h2`, then every time you make a change to `.author-bio`, you have to consider all the contexts in which this class may be used globally in your site, and if you

One distinction that I had missed for a long time is that the en-dash is used instead of the hyphen to connect words in the “and” sense, such as “read–eval–print loop” or “Myers–Briggs personality type”. I find that the en-dash makes it a b

I wish it was possible to add FIDO keys to an account without having physical access to the key. Without this, it is hard to balance the convenience of adding your keys to new accounts and the risk of losing all your keys. Ideally, I’d want

I’m a bit conflicted about the goal of separating the “hard, cold, objective” science from “soft, warm, subjective” things such as reputation and trust. It may be the case that some publications can be perfectly evaluated based purely on th
