> Today, one of the remaining appeals of Lisps (e.g., CL, Scheme) is that (aside perhaps from Clojure) they're not very employable, and so the communities and ecosystems are more old-school hardcore in sensibility.

One of the reasons why I wrote 42links in Lisp is that it’s less likely to end up in a ChatGPT reply without any license hints.

Window Maker is still one of the most bearable desktops, even "with Wayland". I don't care about "integration", it is a desktop, not an office suite.

I did not say otherwise.

When KDE started, it was strongly influenced by CDE. It became more Windows-y with every major(ish) version, while Windows did not get any (relevant) inspiration from CDE.

When, why and how became this a good thing?

KDE is actually a good example of why non-Linux users say that Linux users would actually prefer to use Windows.

Might as well be my limited understanding from what I can read behind the link, to be fair.

I prefer Anyhow's non-intrusiveness: "Result" is still "Result" and all I need is a "?". I agree with Stack Error's documentation that Anyhow can't help with debugging that well, but it's "good enough" in my opinion.

I still prefer the Anyhow solution, but I like the approach here.

... poorly.

You shouldn’t use LLMs at work at all.

Why?

Don't.

This has a few rough edges yet, for which I’m sorry. I’m proud enough to release it though. Please don’t consider this to be “finished software” yet. :-)

Note that the article you referred to predates this one by a few days.

That’s good to know, thank you.

Providing online forums is legal now.

StumpWM is in a special position here as "compile-time" on Common Lisp is roughly the same thing as "runtime".

This is actually nice. Desktops were much less annoying back in the day.

What a loss!

I am quite familiar with the basic functionality of Git. However, I am always amused by how it works in practice.

I love how the same people who try to drag me towards using Git are the only people who seem to have serious problems working on their code when a website goes down.

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Every time a new browser appears and is applauded by HN, a NetSurf dev opens a beer...

(Only two months later, I noticed it.)

Ah, I did not hear about that before. Thank you.

Don't forget that Clownstrike took down Linux systems in April.

> Among the many hackerish features of ITS was allowing a user space process to act like a device, not just for a filesystem but as a TTY, which allowed a lot more kinds of terminals to be supported than would fit in the monitor (kernel in today’s parlance).

I begin to understand where Plan 9 got that "other" kind of inspiration.

That's unfortunate. I actually liked Flutter.

Still being tortured for the crime of being a journalist? I see. Well, let's mourn a racist instead.
