adl··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
I love Yaak! my favorite HTTP client!
adl··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
I’ve been working on Editora, a keyboard-driven text editor for programmers: https://editora-project.dev/

It has LSP support, debugging, Git and GitHub integration, multiple cursors, customizable keymaps, and live previews for things like Markdown, PDFs, and diagrams (and lot's of bugs! too). It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with no accounts or telemetry.

It’s a hobby project I work on in my spare time, and it’s still very beta. No big announcement or anything, I just thought I’d share it here.

If anyone tries it, I’d be interested to hear what you think.

adl··on Frontend Java Development in 2025
I couldn't make this work with JDK 23, 21 or 17, I got the following error:

Failed to execute goal org.teavm:teavm-maven-plugin:0.6.1:compile (web-client) on project flavour: Unexpected error occurred: Unsupported class file major version 61

According to the Docs it seems it seems to only work with JDK 8: (https://frequal.com/Flavour/book.html#org1b5c5fc):

17.1 Prerequisties Making web apps with Flavour only requires two prerequisites:

Java (OpenJDK 8 or equivalent. Newer versions of Java are untested.) Maven (Apache Maven 3.8.6 or greater)

adl··on Seer: A GUI front end to GDB for Linux
A good debugger can provide more than just stepping thru code.

In IntelliJ with Java, you can set conditonal breakpoints with complex evaluations, you can set filters (only hit a breakpoint depending from where it is being called), use exception methods that only hit on certain exceptions instead of a specific line code, you can also use logging breakpoints, that act like printf debuging, but you don't need to scatter your code with print statements all over the place.

You can group, add descripitons, disable, enable and add temporary breakpoints, they are pretty powerful! I just wish intellij had a time travel debbuger like Visual Studio Pro.

Can you elaborate why?

I've known and used Stremio for at least 5 years, maybe more.

Here is the original paper in Spanish: https://www.ru.tic.unam.mx/bitstream/handle/123456789/1415/a...
adl··on The Unix-Haters Handbook (1994) [pdf]
I prefer to use Windows as my daily driver. I also help people (friends, family, co-workers, etc.) with Linux (desktop or server) all the time. I have almost 30 years of experience using Linux. (using it since 1995)
adl··on Java 22 Released
Raises hand Here! I have to work with Spock on a Java codebase and I think groovy sucks ;-)
adl··on Ask HN: What is the, currently, best Programming LLM (copilot) subscription?
Sounds great! I just subscribed to Cody, looking forward to testing the JetBrains support.
adl··on Jetbrains unbundles AI Assistant and is now available as a separate plugin
Thanks! I swear I put that direct link on the submission, maybe it got striped.
adl··on Ask HN: What is the, currently, best Programming LLM (copilot) subscription?
Does the Claude 3 support only apply to the VSCode plugin right now? I'm using the Jetbrains plugin and I don't see an option to use Claude 3.
adl··on Ask HN: What is the, currently, best Programming LLM (copilot) subscription?
Are you planning to offer plugins for other IDEs, like IntelliJ?
adl··on Jetbrains unbundles AI Assistant and is now available as a separate plugin
"Beginning with the Beta version of IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1, AI Assistant has been unbundled and is now available as a separate plugin."

This was a mayor complaint about a month ago:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39238666

adl··on YouTube Oddities
I've seen them pop up (hehe) while searching for multi-tools and bushcraft videos. Never seen one before.
adl··on JetBrains' unremovable AI assistant meets irresistible outcry
There are several alternatives to Little Snitch on Windows (and Linux). https://alternativeto.net/software/little-snitch/?platform=w...
adl··on Starlink's laser system is beaming 42 petabytes of data per day
Families sharing an internet connection. Kids watch 1 o 2 hours each, mom and dad another hour each.
adl··on A site that tracks the price of a Big Mac in every US McDonald's
I live in Monterrey, Mexico, 3 to 4 hours from the US border with Texas. There are people who offer Whataburger delivery services.

They will collect orders throughout the week and on the weekend drive to Texas and pick up the burgers. I think they have a deal with a local whataburger because they pick the burgers disassembled.

The heat and reassemble them here in Monterrey. No fries, though.

They sell for 3x, I believe.

Well, according to his sister, he used to molest her when he was 13, and she was 4, so...

adl··on Windows 11 adds native support for RAR, 7-Zip, Tar and other archive formats
Just a brief reminder: If you need to zip/unzip files from the command line on Windows, you can use BSD tar.

I needed to write a script that zips a directory from the command line, and found out that Windows 10/11 and at least Server 2019 includes BSD tar by default! You can use it like this:

'C:\Temp>tar acvf backup.zip directory'

So, no need to install any third-party zip/unzip CLI tool.

He has shared content from far right/pro-Nazi accounts in the past.
adl··on The CEO of Dropbox has a 90/10 rule for remote work
That seems pretty normal in a Big City with lots of traffic.
adl··on Insomnia REST client now requires an account
Jetbrains has a pretty cool HTTP/REST client: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/http-client-cli.html

The 'UI' (which is really an editor/syntax highlighting for the .http files) version I believe is a paid feature on the IDEs, but the CLI one I believe you don't need to pay to use it.

adl··on Mexico Became the Biggest User of the World’s Most Notorious Spy Tool
The Mexican military (and the police, and the politicians) ARE the cartels. They use it against their enemies: journalists and activists.
adl··on Why a browser and mail combination is worth it
OS/2 Warp did something similar to what you describe, but with FTP sites: You could navigate them using the file manager, just like any other folder, create links, bookmarks, etc.

I vaguely remember saving web bookmarks as files, and using the built-in browser to navigate them to them. The shell (WPS) had the philosophy: "everything is an object".

It was very cool for its time.

People died. It was not "very benign".
