1. man2html

and 2. i think it's gnome devhelp.

there's an app too.

it's too bad distributions themselves promote googling everything.

I'm going to sleep.

They have been working on other things for decades. Look there.
Also, don't overemphasize thinking. It has already been done by people that are much (much) smarter than you.

Also, you cannot outscan people with millions of dollars at their disposal with the only intent that you cannot make any money yourself from your ideas...

...especially when they are good.

(please disregard the bitter tone.)

Personally I would like to see instances of where gen ai is actually useful.

An example: rewrite this java code in clojure/scala with lenses. (already done, don't bother...)

Along these lines I was thinking why in the world would you be making videos for recruiters?

And (not criticism) why is how React works a showcase of your skill?

Not actually true, those pm's need to be reimplemented in nix/scheme.

But I get your point.

Aversion to d-lang in particular is strange. Was it not (an acceptable) answer years ago?

> Salt, Black Widow, Lucy,

Salt was not that good (backpedaling from trash -- it wasn't that bad), but the lead was for a man, if that contributes to the conversation...

Lucy was trash, and I wont relent from that without hard evidence.

Not because of the cast or other movie related things, but because it would have been better as a sentence.

> For such a supposedly revolutionary advancement.

The technology is objectively not ready, at least to keep the promises that are/have been advertised.

I am not going to get too opinionated, but this seems to be a widespread theme, and to people that don't respond to marketing advances (remember Tivo?), but are willing to spend real money and real time, it would be "nice" if there was signalling to this demographic.

Re:DMD Compiler as a Library: A Call to Arms on Thursday February 22, 2024 @02:33PM (#39471894)
Do you also have:

1. Statically linked executables (essential but not crucial)

2. Dependency management (import tripleo.rtfm from "git:...#1234567")

3. A good AST API (jdt/roaster, javapoet, etc)

4. Tooling (cf spoon/soot)

(I approve this comment, even given it's limited usefulness/expressivity)

1. They are having a "launch party". This is "interesting". They are selling to devs (I read bros, YMMV).

2. Is there a two minute tldr? (aka What are the key concepts?)

3. What is the evolutionary path from rxvt to this?

Re:Niagara Launcher on Sunday February 11, 2024 @04:24AM (#39333719)
Big coincidence, I just switched to Niagara, complaint: too much scrolling, no auto updates.

I like it better than Oasis (which I might be confusing for something else), complaint: too minimal.

My go to for years was Square Home, great until last years' reinstall, then something (I forget), which was prob a combination of my fault and Android whatever it's on now (maybe 11).

My only other (notable) like is Smart Launcher, which is honestly great except for all the "cloud integration" stuff.

maybe not if you want to build from source and the oriiginal tgz/git goes offline?
