As long as there are non-russian alternatives out there I'm never going to even try.
rauli_··on Audacity 4.0
Or he just prefers GTK. I sure like it better than QT.
rauli_··on Hang on to Your Firefox
He seems to completely ignore Ladybird project for some reason.
rauli_··on Why I still reach for Lisp and Scheme instead of Haskell
Lisp was meant to be written with M-expressions instead of S-expressions anyway.
rauli_··on VisiCalc Reconstructed
I actually created one for some time ago. It's nothing special but it has Vi keybindings.

rauli_··on Banned C++ features in Chromium
Unchecked exceptions will eventually lead into programs crashing because some developer forgot to catch specific type of exception somewhere.
rauli_··on jQuery 4
In case you want to use React to make Web sites as well.
rauli_··on Just the Browser
Mozilla later added them after the concept became popular thanks to Firefox. Mozilla and Firefox browsers coexisted for quite a while and Firefox was the lite version of Mozilla that didn't include E-mail client and other such features that Mozilla did.
rauli_··on Xfce is great
Xfce is way too minimal to be great. An great DE must be written mostly in JavaScript and hoard gigabytes of memory in order to render a single window.
rauli_··on Corroded: Illegal Rust
A good reason not to use those LLMs if they can be manipulated that easily.

We already have Sailfish OS but no one is using it.
rauli_··on EU to build no-fee payments service like Visa/Mastercard and Apple/Google Pay
Future goal of the "digital euro" is to get rid of the banks.
rauli_··on T-Ruby is Ruby with syntax for types
I remember a time in early 2000s when everybody seemed to be raving about duck typed languages and how awesome they are. Now we have separate tools for the same languages to implement typing.
rauli_··on Eating stinging nettles
In my country soups made from stinging nettles have been eaten most likely for thousands of years. It tastes a lot like spinach and is full of vitamin C and such.
rauli_··on Scripts I wrote that I use all the time
Which very very few people have actually installed on their system.
rauli_··on Show HN: ut – Rust based CLI utilities for devs and IT
Windows and *nix systems are often used for very different things so I don't understand why there would be need for some kind of universal superbinary. And thanks to WSL you can already get GNU coretools running in Windows anyways.
rauli_··on Open Source is one person
Not in Finland which has never been a communist country. His parents were just political activists who forced young Linus to participate in that as well. Linus has said that the experience made him very apolitical person.
rauli_··on Framework Laptop 16
It's so weird to hear people who have problems with NVIDIA GPUs on Linux, because for me it's always been the opposite. I have had problems with AMD but never with NVIDIA.
rauli_··on Is 4chan the perfect Pirate Bay poster child to justify wider UK site-blocking?
That used to be the case few years ago. Now it seems that all popular podcasts are hidden inside commercial services such as Spotify.

Not every code project needs to turn out to be world changing. Experiments like this sometimes produce excellent results.
rauli_··on YouTube No Translation
I would add sponsorblock to this list.
rauli_··on Blue95: a desktop for your childhood home's computer room
That Git GUI got my attention. Does anyone have an idea what it might be? The titlebar says aurora but when I searched for it all I got was an commercial product with AI nonsense stuck into it.
rauli_··on Show HN: NotepadJs – A cross-platform love letter to Notepad
Didn't know notepad has tabs these days. It's been almost a decade since I last used it.

As a Linux user I'm grateful that they are still developing the Java version of Minecraft.
rauli_··on 98.css – A design system for building faithful recreations of old UIs
Now all we are missing is Windows 3.x -version.
rauli_··on Pretty.c
I've seen similar codebases as well written by people who have spent way too much time with Java. One even had it's own String class which was just a wrapper for std::string with Java-like methods.
rauli_··on Vimium – The Hacker's Browser
Completely agree but it's the best we got at the moment if you want to use the non-XUL version of Firefox.
rauli_··on Show HN: Hosting my website using my C web server
Sometimes it's just fun.
rauli_··on The First HTML LSP That Reports Syntax Errors
It can create confusion with people who are still learning to use Git.
