seems like they have pretty clear goals in mind. if they were changing distributions haphazardly id otherwise agree, but to me it reads that they're refining their taste.
Without reading the article: I've used Nix on macOS without nix-darwin or home-manager for some time now. I define my packages in a flake.nix that exports an environment and I use install using `nix profile`.
this 10,000,000,000%!! (dr stone ref.) I love modal editing and vim a ton, but I couldn't stand the half baked solutions terminal editors gave me. We have an entire rich graphical platform, why not use it?
I want threads to succeed so badly. It's the only app I've ever actually liked the UI of. I've tried numerous Mastodon apps (Ivory included), BlueSky, Twitter, and all of their web variants. I find myself returning to Threads even if the functionality is limited, because it's just that enjoyable. I'm rooting for 'em!
I chose Rust here because that was what the command line tool that I referenced were written in. I'm not going to argue on HN about memory management (because I too, prefer Zig over Rust) because it's all about the program you're trying to write.
In terms of generating the object file with a single toolset, It's just not something I care about. This was like, a two day project. I don't need to make it more complicated than it needs to be
I haven't used 'Next Content', but one big difference is that Astro is framework agnostic. I'm not a huge web dev so I wouldn't know how different these frameworks are, but not being locked in/being able to try another framework is cool
Would you mind elaborating on the complications you ran into? I ask because I think you used std.HashMap instead of std.AutoHashMap, the latter of which automatically chooses a hash function based on the types provided.
I tried the HoloLens ages ago and honestly the only upgrade would be the display & how often the inputs worked. Microsoft was demoing the HoloLens @ some hackathon and had a program where you could flip pages in a virtual book. On top of the book looking super low quality / illegible, I could never get the controls to work. The only thing that will make the vision pro seem like a worthwhile purchase would be if the controls worked flawlessly. I already have faith in the displays & picture.
As much as I like private trackers, very few use the ratio-less model to protect against serial leechers.
Typically on a tracker you’re given a currency (although not as sound as some e-coins) and can use that to influence your upload or download statistics, which in turn affect your ratio. Some trackers might employ rules where your user class has to have a certain ratio, or else you’ll lose privileges like certain forums or even the ability to download at all. (The trackers are private and can control which peers you can see)
