Test out Fossil SCM, it depends on SQLite and is also written in c89.

While I see the utility of partial file commits, I think that it promotes committing untested code. Fossil scm doesn’t have an equivalent feature because of this very issue.

I’m the exact same way. $15 on openrouter lasted me so long it would’ve got me fired at FAANG. Despite this, my number of commits is dramatically higher. Small, beautifully scoped changes is just good software development, and good for the

The reason Claude code is so popular is because it’s really good at taking super vague human prose “Claude build me a million dollar SaaS”-type prompts and spitting out thousands of lines of code which cover tons of surface-level edge cases

Agreed. I’ve always disliked having anything to do with gaming on my primary OS, always choosing to compartmentalize that stuff away from anything sensitive. The only exception is DRM free standalone games like Factorio, which has pretty sa

I believe they are much faster to scan, as you don’t need to identify the corners.

This is the guy who created Zpaq btw. Super interesting but niche backup/archive software.

This seems pretty accurate to me. But like other commenters, the psychological closure of any message at all is better than nothing. Also, what company nowadays doesn’t use an ATS? I’ve seen a few startups that take applications via email o

I never understood how anyone could write more than 40 pages of “self help”. Especially not for a general audience. All self help boils down to the very foundation of your worldview, all other advice stems from it.

In the same way that credit card companies are required to tell you the exact reasons your score has changed, companies should be required to give at least any sort of notice of rejection. Something as simple as: we have proceeded with anot

I agree. I might swap over to a TUI mail client on my desktop. Don’t even get me started on the iOS Mail app.

Completely misunderstood your phrasing lol, disregard that. But yeah I agree the avocado armchair was definitely a milestone. I used it as one of the exemplary first steps in what we now consider Gen image AI.

Nvidia GauGAN and deep-daze amused me immensely at the age of 14 or so. I've had "a man painting a completely red image" saved for a long time. It is insane how primitive modern inpainting and txt2image make these two project

Thats insane! I cited your image in a humanities paper during one of my freshman year classes.

Fossil does all of this, and has a better VCS for my use case than git does. https://fossil-scm.org

The real solution is to allow users to own their push solution, and for it to become more commonplace among apps to support alternative push providers such as Unified Push. Molly, the FOSS Android Signal client supports this configuration.

I've sat in classes where people at my table genuinely took pictures of the exam while the professor's back was turned (being kind to us and giving us useful information on the board) and uploaded the entire exam to the Gemini app

Those screenshots and videos are taking up space SOMEWHERE, whether it be your inbox or your filesystem, why not have them as unversioned artifacts in your db? (Fossil supports this). Of course if you have multiple people working on it and

I am still so salty that Git won out for the average project over Fossil. Sure Git has some performance advantages for massive codebases like the Linux Kernel, but the vast majority of projects will never run into performance limits from th

Hello. You missed the point I was making drastically. Of course for software that I build personally I can do all that, but not for all the random stuff in my system that I’m trusting maintainers to package for me, or otherwise good PKGBUIL

Genuinely how are you supposed to make sure that none of the software you have on your system pulls this in? It’s things like this that make me want to swap to Qubes permanently, simply as to not have my password manager in the same context

My router doesn’t have a WPS button, so I also had to use the two button interface. Not fun having to cycle through some 50 plus ASCII characters for the WiFi password. I’m pretty sure you can emulate the button press in openwrt with some p

I just use HN as my comment platform. I have a Hugo short code that (very respectfully!) grabs the comments on a full rebuild, but only if those comments are not already cached and if the post is less than 7 days old. The formatting looks q
