I first tried Acme back in 2018/19, and I didn't get too far with it. I recently found myself in a deep Plan9 rabbit hole and am trying it again. I found this to be a good post on the editor.

Always nice to see Red updates (thanks for sharing)

Great article.

Great post on the history and benefits of SmartOS, a distribution of Illumos. Also includes a comparison with OpenIndiana, another distribution of Illumos.

1991 paper published by Roger Faulkner and Ron Gomes. I found this paper after listening to a talk by Bryan Cantrill.

Article about new Rails 8 features

Not OP nor am I a Rust expert. I can speak regarding another technology: sockets.

I've been deep-diving into sockets recently. 2 weeks ago I had only a high-level understanding of sockets (learned from casually reading manpages, docs, blog posts, etc.). I decided to read as much as possible because I wanted to understand networking fundamentals, and after a week I learned enough to write some sockets code in Python and C. I know Python quite well, so reviewing the ``sockets'' library made more sense after my deep dive.

If you want to get better at technology A using language X, I suggest either reading/watching as much as you can about tech A, and build stuff with it in language Y. Then you can circle back to learning language X and you've already mastered much of the concepts around technology A.

e: spelling

I followed the exercises in this book coming up on a decade ago. It was I valuable to my growth as a developer. The author, OrangeDuck, has many worthwhile projects. If you are learning C, it's worth checking out their Cello project.

pass is an excellent tool.

I'm only finally learning journalctl after years of using Linux, and what a lifesaver this would have been if I had only learnt it sooner. This guide is excellent; it is succinct and informative.

E: grammar

I started writing down keywords a few months back and I honestly should have started much sooner.

> I think I do not misspeak myself by saying that the work of this article should settle the matter clearly and finally.

Perkele, consider the matter closed.

Do you actually believe everything you just said? I can't tell if /s or not.

Nice shoutout to the classic

I learned a lot about Mudge by reading "Cult of the Dead Cow: How the Original Hacking Supergroup Might Just Save the World."

For anyone wanting to explore 90's security nostalgia, it's worth a read. For anyone wanting to learn where hacktivism comes from, it's worth a read. For anyone wanting to learn about how security consulting has evolved over the years, it's worth a read.

Mudge is a very cool and capable individual. I am slightly surprised that Twitter would ignore someone of his talent and respect, and choose to air their dirty laundry in this manner. It's as if they have no idea who they hired. That, or C-levels think they can outpay $$$ any PR against Twitter to control the narrative. Either way, if Mudge is whistleblowing, there's probably some bad shit going down.

The code snippet in this [0] example from the index page (top) looks to have an f-string issue:

return [

  {

    "message": "{t.name} is due for {t.due_days} days",

    "assignee": t.assignee,

  }

  for t in tickets

]

E: Fix formatting (TIL HN doesn't support code blocks)

> when people used to look at existing websites to learn how it was done?

I actually forgot we used to do this. I miss the early web.

I used this site to help implement some core utils in TypeScript for Deno. They never had all the features, but it helped understand the code paths, etc.

Even though I haven't met a Sublime user in a few years, it still must be popular since it's at v4. Last time I checked, Sublime was still proprietary, which is the reason I had skipped using it. I've heard Sublime has some useful features, though. If it's in their interest, I hope they decide liberate / open their source code.

E: misspelling

The one in the jetpack has been around for a couple years, iirc.

I work as a software engineer in cybersecurity.

> embarrassed... for some of the offerings

Welcome to the club.

The author of Rockstar gave a _fantastic_ presentation called The Art of Code, where he eventually introduces the language. I cannot praise the talk enough. It is available on YouTube.

Fyt like the day in Glasgow?

Love Toki Pona.

Nicely done. Thanks for your work! The Arch community is where it's at because of package maintainers. Btw I use arch.

Fantastic share. Thanks.

Yes. John Bowden wrote a great book on this very virus and goes into details on this.

I used to live and work in Madrid (for a non-tech job), although I have been a programmer for some years now.

While in Madrid I met a number of software engineers/IT professionals. I think Madrid is a decent spot for finding tech work.

Mind you, my family is from Asturias, and the tech scene, I believe, isn't great there. I also don't know how Barcelona is.

If you're looking at Madrid, I think you'll be OK.

> Linus is the author of the Linux operating system

Hmmmm... Not quite. Albeit I am a massive fan of the Linux kernel, though Torvalds is _not_ the author of the Linux operating system (if we assume that Linux is the equivalent of GNU utilities + the Linux kernel).
