Congrats to the team! There is some great stuff in this release. A few of the items have been things preventing me from daily driving Haiku (I have it on a thinkpad for fun sometimes), so I'm excited to spin this up.

Meh. The project died for me when they started using LLMs for development in the first place.

You could add features to make it a PWA and explain to users how to save it t their desktop. I used ProtonMail for years that way (I do not have a smartphone anymore, so no longer do so).

Yes!! This!! I wrote a shell awhile back and was pretty happy with it... but could _not_ get job control to work quite right. It was a big pain.

I believe that if you have a network stack and can download files from the internet--which would include software--that it counts. I don't want to re-read to find the part, but they seemed to imply that any system where you could downl

Well, I couldn't disagree more with you: being anti-AI is absolutely not an extreme position. You are living in a bubble if you think it is. "Fervent anti-AI territory" is a good position, not hate speech.

Funny, it seems perfectly appropriate to me.

Yeah, but the industry is a big part of the problem and most people working in it are complicit at this point (whether or not they are reluctantly complicit).

I also really like asymmetrical games. In particular the various Tafl[0] reconstructions. Some are unbalanced, but some are very balanced and fun to play as either attacker or defender. There are various versions with rule variations to acc

Agreed. I tried to dig around a bit in the pdf (though I am admittedly distracted at the moment) and it looked like a tree walk interpreter being built. At least at first. There were some sections involving x86 assembly, so it may eventuall

Using color alone to distinguish links is explicitly an accessibility violation. Underlines are not a requirement. I certainly agree that the link system here is atypical. It just isnt an accessibility violation.

by sloum 4y ago
If you dont care about the standards, which governments use to define how accessibility works and who it applies to for legal purposes, then you essentially want to make up your own rules, policies, and ideas. Which is fine, mostly. However

There is a clear pattern and clear consistency at play here and there is no violation of the w3c/wai standards involving these links.

by sloum 4y ago
The link styling system used on the wiki complies with all web accessibility standards: it clearly and consistently shows a link without using color as the sole determining factor. An underling is not required (whether you think it should b

That seems reasonable to me. Small groups can be easily torn apart bad bad actors. Even well meaning folks that just don't vibe well can really hae a large effect on small intentional communities. It isnt about being good enough, by my

Different standard library, different focus, similar-ish core interpreter. However, it doesnt need to be different. This was not built for folks other than me and a few friends to use (I didnt post it here on hacker news, and am not looking

I would agree. Simple and old school, but with a dash of modern features was what I was going for. I used Logo a good bit when I was young, so I can appreciate the comparison.

Because at one point filter was implemented as a special form in the interpreter rather than in the library. As such it was colored with special forms. That has changed and it is now in the library, but I have not gone into the highlight pl

Language/website author here: nope. Just good old fashioned html, css, and a pinch of vanilla js just to get a few things working. I had tried out making a forth a while back. It was not, in the end, as usable as I'd like. I thoug

The almost full and complete point of this is to REMOVE the ability of "commercial players" from having a role or interest in the platform at all. They have already ruined the web and society as a whole (but that gets into a whole

Gopher will be faster by nature of gemini using TLS. However, gopher is inherently less secure than gemini. If you are wanting the TLS, gemini _should_ load your document faster than the https (even with minimal headers included for the htt

I do not think it is inconvenient at all, it is just different that what people have come to expect.
