Well, grok build is an excellent product already IMHO
Yes, it's cost freenode and many more scissions, X.org going crazy, discussing rolling back 1.5 years of commits just to eliminate a contributor from history, it's ridiculous.

There's always one side that wants to impose their ideology to the other. And it's always the same side.

> Open source, free software, the hacker ethos itself, have all been political from their very inception

Prove it.

> But it's all political

It's not, it's technical.

Re:Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor on Friday October 03, 2025 @04:34PM (#45467483)
Well it does look beautiful but I don't think I can go back to anything that's un-paged neither, after 17 years of dwm. Also, just watched a bit of an XMonad demo which reminded me how much I love the simplicity of dwm's tiling workflow based on having a master window per page (dwm's tag) because it completely removed the burden of window management for me with barely any configuration, I wonder how I'd do without it ... Probably going to try XMonad just to feel the difference, maybe I'll like it.

> Instead, we took a more direct route - I asked friends at Google (which bought Fitbit, which had bought Pebble’s IP) if they could open source PebbleOS. They said yes! Over the last year, a team inside Google (including some amazing ex-Pebblers turned Googlers) has been working on this. And today is the day - the source code for PebbleOS is now available at github.com/google/pebble (see their blog post).

Re:My failed attempt to shrink all NPM packages by 5% on Monday January 27, 2025 @11:14AM (#42842636)
Ok but why doesn't npm registry actually recompress the archives? It can even apply that retroactively, wouldn't require zopli in npm CLI

I remember when we were using an experimental SDN router, it was 0'ing the MAC address field in the packets, pretty fun to debug

I ask "what do you think about tests / what's your favorite test framework" and "what is your favorite os / what os do you use at home"

In EU, electricity price is indexed on gas price, and so, we the gas price is applied to cheap nuclear energy. Also, care do demonstrate how buying Russian oil to India saves Ukraine? Thanks.

Writing from a Arch system I installed on 2017-12-04 and use as my daily driver, I've been moving the hard drive from laptop to laptop over time and the system from drive to drive when upgrading. Prior to that, I had been using Gentoo for years which is also great.

When external pages can show in modals or separately because you are using Unpoly.js then it's perfect

Still a lot more to type than with Python and especially Django
Renewable energies require gaz and coal backups.
Absolutely agreed, hence the many Python to JS transpilers out there.

We get so much satisfaction out of writing JS in Python, it's worth all the IDEs in the world for us!
