Over time I must have spent several dozen hours looking into fonts, but I somehow always end up sticking to Menlo which looks just right to me. But this one looks really good ! I will give it a spin, thanks for sharing.

You might want to have a look at Matt Paras’s config. He’s been developping the plugin system using steel, his own scheme interpreter in rust. To send things to the repl, it uses eval-buffer from the helix-ext.scm file.

The integration and customizability is for sure not that of Emacs yet, but with the plugin system soon to be merged, we can hope to have a proper REPL and Parinfer implementation!

Here's a video with a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F61YWNapxJg

The Maya Angelou quote is a very poor choice. I don't know if the author realizes the absurdity of putting the civil rights movement in parallel with her "PKM journey"

Could you ELI5 what the applications would be ? Could a render engine be built on top of this and hooked up to a DCC like Blender ? Or is this a way to do computational photography, say correct the depth of field of an image of "denoise" it ?

That's a really nice view! Made me think of this map of IP addresses arranged as a Hilbert curve i saw in this Tom7 video: (the rest of the video is wildly good if you haven't seen it) https://youtu.be/JcJSW7Rprio?si=wzFq4p61qYmpT59x&t=360

The article adresses this:

> Most of the vinyls were packed in boxes or held by relatives and friends before Jula slowly brought them all home

Seems like once she put the collection back together, the order was already lost.

Appart from that, I feel like there is some poetry to her slowly making it her own collection by listening to the records one by one. Kind of like a new like growing from within the records.

Not right now, but it looks like someone is trying to build it on top of Bluesky: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/15/bluesky-is-getting-its-own...

What a beautiful website ! Feels carefully crafted, full of nice moments like the > turning the a - when sections are open in the TOC. Would love to hear more detail on how you went about making it. Did you ever consider sharing parts of the source code ?

> the UX is just so obtuse and pricing unpredictable

Could you explain that in a bit more detail ? I used both OVH, Google Cloud and NFS to host small websites. With OVH and Google, even for small things like setting up DNS I’d get lost in a hellish kafkian maze of help pages, wheras the NFS FAQ is the best one I’ve see. I have yet to find an issue it doesn’t cover. Pricing-wise, I’ve found it pretty transparent, and overall, dirt-cheap.

I don’t agree, the FAQ answer doesn’t relate « moral alignment » to monetary value. I think it simply states that advocating for free speech doesn’t mean falling into relativism, assigning the same value to all positions and endorsing the most extreme ones. Pretty refreshing in the current context.

The best effort I’ve seen at working around lisp’s parens notation and make its syntax more declarative-looking is Rhombus, which is based on Racket, and actually on track to replace it.

Went a bit further down the rabbit hole and found the previous devlogs he posted about the topic for anyone interested. [1] [2] Of note was an upsampling algorithm called Scale2X he talked about. [3] Pretty neat !

Architect from Paris here. That’s right, except the mines didn’t cover all of Paris, they were originally outside and eventually built over. [1] The underground networks below Paris are actually said to be even more extensive than the streets and extend many stories deep. These networks are the result of a complex layering of quarries, catacombs, sewers, bunkers, undergound metro, and even waterways [2], large parts of which have been abandoned over time. No public map is available, who knows what else might be hiding there.
