This also came to my mind when I heard `rill`, coming from https://www.rilldata.com/ .

I'm loving it! So simple, yet exactly the thing needed to share a secret quickly in a secure manner over a non-secure channel, e. g. email. Still a fresh idea I've never seen elsewhere. Congrats and thank you for providing this

Biggest issues for me: Subscription based payments and (biggest issue) missing option to adjust the keyboard shortuts. So I have to adjust my workflow and muscle memory to the tool instead of the other way around. For the rest it is a v

Reading the headline, I initially thought that Microsoft bought the company behind XLWings [1], which also enables you to use Excel directly within Excel, even locally. Not affiliated in any kind to that company, just used it in the past. [

I completely agree. I'm also trying to wrap my head around Nix on a non-NixOS system. My requirements are to just manage my dotfiles (successful with home-manager) and configuring my system/installing certain packages, so everyone

Oh gosh, better not focusing on SpaceX and Tesla. He would destroy these two companies as well. As read somewhere (here at HN?), both have departments to distract Musk once he visits them, so he doesn't create much harm. Musk is no

Anyone has some experience with Kivy [1]? It seems that it checks off some of my requirements, like cross-platform, supporting touch interfaces, ease of development, allows complex/fancy UIs as well, etc. [1] https://kivy.or

Sorry, but this is just not true. Meat was only a small part of the eating of our ancestors, as it still is for most tribal people. They hadn't an AK to shot at animals. So they spent more days without meat, depending on their luck at

I would also recommend "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" [1], as you are learning hands on with some practical stuff: from generating Excel-files to PDFs, from sending e-mails to work with files and folders. At the end you w

Another unusual alternative could be the V-language [1], depending on if you consider this a "sane language" ;-). Not having used it myself and obviously you have to consider other arguments as well (community, developers, develop

Well, I don't see the offensive part here. As you say it yourself: "It might be overkill for many simple use-cases." Period. No need to jump into every thread where a user says that it is just too much for her use case, and y

Well, there's a tool for every task and yours in this case might be too overblown for the simple task that the user is trying to solve. No need to compare it to the use at bigger companies and organizations. No need to either get arro

Sorry, but no: Calling the advance to Kyiv (fascist Russia clearly wanted to take the capital by storm), the slaughtering and war crimes in the suburbs and the hasty retreat with thousands of fallen Russian orcs a "feint" is Russi

Neovim [1]. Emacs with evil-mode work pretty well (IMO the best "vi-emulation" within other editors; the vi-plugin in JetBrains-IDEs works also quite well, though), however I learned painfully that you need to know two languages i

Not a webserver, but maybe if the Nikola-SSG [0] is automated with some folder-watching-tool to re-generate the files? Or writing your own Caddy-module that does exactly that? [0] https://getnikola.com

I absolutely agree with you. Thank you for letting me know, that I'm not alone! I'm coming from a backend-environment and had to learn how to do frontend as well. While JavaScript as a language can be handled (it has its quirks, a
