bruh2··on NilAway: Practical nil panic detection for Go
What does PLT mean in this context? I wasn't able to $searchengine it
bruh2··on WordPress plugins are a little sad?
I'm not a webdev by trade, so when I wanted to write a quick cute portfolio for my sibling I opted for ClassicPress. It's a fork of the last WP version that still featured the normal editor. Creating themes for it turned out to be straightforward thanks to the abundance of templates, tutorials, and examples available for these old-school WP themes. And PHP isn't so bad, too.

The only thing I found myself yearning for is more of an "as code" - i.e. having all of ClassicPress' config stored in a handful of version controlled files, rather than fragilely in a web UI. But for my humble needs, it sealed the deal perfectly. Boring is good!

bruh2··on Go, Containers, and the Linux Scheduler
As someone not that familiar with Docker or Go, is this behavior intentional? Could the Go team make it aware of the CGroups limit? Do other runtimes behave similarly?
bruh2··on Nushell 0.86
That sounds promising. Did you use it in a team? If so, how well did they receive your avant garde shell language?

Also, have you tried other alternative shells like xonsh?

bruh2··on Nushell 0.86
Do you mind elaborating on your last point? I'm intrigued by nushell and I'm doing devopsy work, I'll give it a try now but I'd love to hear how you use it and learn from it!
bruh2··on How Netflix uses Java
What does CS stand for here? I guess it's not computer science?

Also, that description made me lmao, thanks

bruh2··on Using Emacs as $EDITOR
It only creates a new workspace if you're connecting to your main Emacs' server. If you have a separate daemon launched with `emacs --fg-daemon=cli`, then connecting with `emacsclient --socket-name=cli` won't pollute your main Emacs with a new workspace:)
bruh2··on Using Emacs as $EDITOR
Oh that's a great idea, this is the way. I don't use emacsclient because it has weird interaction with Doom's workspaces, but your way might solve this problem. Thanks!
bruh2··on Bitwarden: Free, open-source password manager
Do you have any examples of startups that went to shit due to VC funding? I have a feeling you're completely right, and I want to recommend others to avoid it. I might need some examples to back this up though:)
bruh2··on Text editing on mobile: the invisible problem
This is so cool
bruh2··on Threads, an Instagram app
This is extremely tiring, especially since:

1. Important info is hosted on these platforms

2. It's impossible to look this info up. Their internal search functions feel like their optimized for finding distracting shit rather than finding what you were actually looking for.

I hate it with a burning passion, and I secretly wish for all of these companies to be nationalized and have like 90% of their features deprecated. I hate having my attention abused like that. It's too much hassle and FOMO to uninstall these apps, and I need like 3 external tools to limit my usage to sane volumes.

This is not a top-priotity problem at all, nor one that I think of frequently (just an hour a day), yet I can't fathom how some higher-ups waste their lives thinking of these shticks

bruh2··on The Wait Until 8th pledge
Do you mind elaborating? Sounds sweet and I hope I can draw some inspiration
bruh2··on The Wait Until 8th pledge
Are we talking about the same disorder? The inability to concentrate on thing that don't immediately pique my interest has costed me quite a lot. Had I gotten diagnosed and medicated earlier, I feel like I could have finished my Bachelor's, or keep my last job, or get a driver's license.

I was shocked to find out that the concentration capabilities I have while high on Adderall are considered just normal for most people.

I still think the root of the problem lies in the insane amount of work hours we're expected to put out, and I'm sure that I would have an easier time if tech companies (that I can score a job in) actually made something real rather than adtech bullshit jobs. But until then...

bruh2··on The Samsung Galaxy S23’s bloated Android build somehow uses 60GB of storage
What brand of Android phones would you guys usually go for? anything that gives smooth, AOSP, non-flashy experience?
bruh2··on OCaml Canvas
You may also like this discussion in the OCaml forum: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/whats-your-development-workflow/...
bruh2··on Voice assistants are not doing it for big tech
Wow, the second point is really interesting. Binding a voice command to a key, in this case Enter.
bruh2··on New numbers on music consumption
I use RateYourMusic and Last.fm mostly to find out about new music:

1. RateYourMusic has a wonderful feature of democratically tagging albums with genres. People suggest this or that genre, then if it gets more than 2 votes (or something like that) the album's page is updated to feature the genre. You can then browse the genre page and swift through other similarly-tagged albums. Here's an example[1].

2. I find Last.fm's "Similar Artists" section to favor niche artists more than, say, the Spotify equivalent.

bruh2··on What is the web revival?
I couldn't disagree more, but I think you are describing Gemini[1]

bruh2··on Python Design Patterns (2018)
Wouldn't TypedDict come in handy here? This way we can kinda mimick a structural typing system. The only disadvantage I ran across here is that TypedDict can't handle recursive fields, unlike dataclasses. Otherwise, it seems to me like a more Pythonic choice, reminding of Clojure
bruh2··on Show HN: Perspec – Scriptable desktop app to correct the perspective of images
It can also be achieved via GIMP's Perspective and Handle Transform tools, if I understood it correctly
bruh2··on Help Us Find the Apps That Sell Your Location
If I understood correctly, this kind of database already exists at https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/
bruh2··on Show HN: I wrote a book about UI [pdf]
> Put frequently used options on top

Yes! I was thinking the same thing. I would expect the author to suggest automatically guessing the user's location instead of blindly placing your own country at the top.

The rest of the document is precious, though

bruh2··on With Proton and Steam Play, many Windows games now work on Linux
It is still a problem, although admittedly I haven't seen cheaters myself. Valve will soon™ take Overwatch's replay analysis aproach[1] for anti-cheating, though.

bruh2··on Ox is a fast text editor, written in Rust, that runs in your terminal
I frequently open minified CSS/JS by accident. IntelliJ's project search window includes a small preview of each result when you hover it, so when you navigate through the results your might pass through a minified file and get your IDE to hang for a couple of minutes :)
bruh2··on Show HN: A SQL database implemented purely in TypeScript type annotations
My native languages has gendered objects, and "language" is feminine. Might be the same case
bruh2··on Ask HN: What are your favorite developer-efficiency tips?
Ooh, that's cool. You might be interested at z[1]. It kinda fills the same purpose as your trick, except it automatically figures out what are your most used directories by tracking your shell navigation or something.
