Hmm, interesting. Are you speaking from experience for Haskell? I'm a Haskell developer since 2017, and have been using LLMs to write code (including Haskell) since 2024. In my experience, LLMs perform much better generating Haskell/Rust code over Python/Javascript.
If the author of the article is here, do try out org-mode. That is exactly what you need. It is designed to be a simple text file format, but tooling on top of it (simple editor plugins, mostly in emacs, but there are equivalent plugins in vim/neovim; I'm sure there must be something in today's kool-aid VSCode editors) make it so so much more powerful.
Org-mode has TODOs, Agendas, tables, nested/collapsible headings, mind-maps etc. You can also generate richly formatted PDFs/HTML/DOC files as well.
This comment has some good insights. Actually a lot of "business" software were like that in the 90s and early 00s. They were optimized for productivity of the user and not necessarily aesthetics of appearance or ease of use (well, trade-off). Even old version of excel etc. were designed like that. Unfortunately modern web software has such high importance on making it eye-candy.
I'm a programmer and geek myself, and heck, even toyed with the idea of having open-source alternative to GSuite. But reading the title I too thought it's an alternative to Google search. Reading your first para cleared it up though. Just a heads up.
But seems like that recently has changed. Now the paywall-ed articles are shown more to people[1]. So even authors with large number of followers don't get their articles shown to their followers.

I think if you write good content, and post it on good programming communities like HN or Reddit, I don't think its that hard to get it noticed.
Surprisingly, the most important organizations (like banks and government departments who have critical data) who need to ditch this practice, embrace it like the holy grail.
I think Microsoft just wants to give up on the browser market/share/innovation (for business reasons ofcourse </snark>). They just needed to have a default browser installed on their system and hence just wants to rebrand chromium and drop it in their default installation.
If they really cared, they could have adopted Gecko/Spidermonkey atleast.
The documentation or the website doesn't list all the languages it supports, especially for jump to definition. It just says all popular languages. This is a bit concerning, because the docs also mentions no (planned) support for plug-ins yet.
FWIW, I'm interested in Haskell support. For jumping to definitions and showing type of expression under cursor.
I might try to explain this but I think I will definitely miss something or won't be able to articulate. Instead, I would suggest episode 1 of Life of Birds [1].
David Attenborough talks about the evolution of birds, what classifies a bird, where do we draw the line between dinosaurs and birds (he even talks about this elephant bird) in the first episode of Life of Birds [1]. Also, watch the whole documentary if you're interested.
If I, as an upstream developer, license my library in GPL, it is exactly because I don't want any random developer to use my library and don't pass on the same freedom to end users. I intentionally want anyone using my library to be in the same freedom sphere (for lack of a better word).
If you think this as problematic/cancerous then it's a pity. This license was designed to retain freedom of software users.
When we first started writing the data APIs, GraphQL had just come out and was pretty rough around the edges.
We love how the tooling and community around GraphQL have matured over time and today we are very excited about announcing GraphQL on HN.
The idea is that you create tables on Postgres, define permissions and
they can be automatically queried and manipulated over a GraphQL interface from
front-end applications.
We have taken great care to make these APIs as efficient as possible. In fact, the low memory footprint and negligible latency when
compared to querying postgres directly, you could even replace the ORM with GraphQL APIs for most use-cases on your server-side code.
I am not sure how you have read this 4 times, and missed these parts.

One user-space program was faulty and was not closing TCP sockets.

The faulty program was fixed.

This I agree with, and this was the learning of the author, which they mention in the article.
Was a long time Vim user. Heavily customized Vim setup. But got tired of keeping up with the ecosystem, new plugins etc. Switched to Spacemacs with Vim mode recently (cannot ever forego Vim modes once its in your muscle memory). Loving the new setup so far.
But Vim, even with heavily customized setup, is so blazing fast, it can make other editors piss in their pants. E.g, opening the first file on Spacemacs takes good 3-4 seconds.
