tripleo1on A Book on Linux

1. man2html

and 2. i think it's gnome devhelp.

there's an app too.

it's too bad distributions themselves promote googling everything.

tripleo1on C can be memory safe

tripleo1on Is software getting slower faster than hardware getting faster?

> "Android Studio" was not fast enough on some of the group's m1 macs

I'm going to sleep.

tripleo1on Ask HN: How do you explain LLMs to those *still* unfamiliar?

They have been working on other things for decades. Look there.

tripleo1on How to Change Your Problem-Solving Mindset and Boost Creativity

Also, don't overemphasize thinking. It has already been done by people that are much (much) smarter than you.

Also, you cannot outscan people with millions of dollars at their disposal with the only intent that you cannot make any money yourself from your ideas...

...especially when they are good.

(please disregard the bitter tone.)

tripleo1on How to Change Your Problem-Solving Mindset and Boost Creativity

Personally I would like to see instances of where gen ai is actually useful.

An example: rewrite this java code in clojure/scala with lenses. (already done, don't bother...)

tripleo1on Ask HN: I got laid off and I want to showcase my skills, any suggestion?

Along these lines I was thinking why in the world would you be making videos for recruiters?

And (not criticism) why is how React works a showcase of your skill?

tripleo1on On hoot, on boot

Not actually true, those pm's need to be reimplemented in nix/scheme.

But I get your point.

tripleo1on Noi: an AI-enhanced, customizable browser

I'm from there, and they are!

tripleo1on Decoding US Government Plans to Shift the Software Security Burden

Aversion to d-lang in particular is strange. Was it not (an acceptable) answer years ago?

tripleo1on Developers spend close to 57% of their time firefighting than innovating

Aka Smalltalk

tripleo1on Google to pause Gemini image generation of people after issues

> Salt, Black Widow, Lucy,

Salt was not that good (backpedaling from trash -- it wasn't that bad), but the lead was for a man, if that contributes to the conversation...

Lucy was trash, and I wont relent from that without hard evidence.

Not because of the cast or other movie related things, but because it would have been better as a sentence.

tripleo1on Google to pause Gemini image generation of people after issues

> For such a supposedly revolutionary advancement.

The technology is objectively not ready, at least to keep the promises that are/have been advertised.

I am not going to get too opinionated, but this seems to be a widespread theme, and to people that don't respond to marketing advances (remember Tivo?), but are willing to spend real money and real time, it would be "nice" if there was signalling to this demographic.

tripleo1on DMD Compiler as a Library: A Call to Arms

Do you also have:

1. Statically linked executables (essential but not crucial)

2. Dependency management (import tripleo.rtfm from "git:...#1234567")

3. A good AST API (jdt/roaster, javapoet, etc)

4. Tooling (cf spoon/soot)

(I approve this comment, even given it's limited usefulness/expressivity)

tripleo1on Warp, the modern terminal, is now available for Linux

1. They are having a "launch party". This is "interesting". They are selling to devs (I read bros, YMMV).

2. Is there a two minute tldr? (aka What are the key concepts?)

3. What is the evolutionary path from rxvt to this?

tripleo1on Niagara Launcher

tripleo1on Niagara Launcher

Big coincidence, I just switched to Niagara, complaint: too much scrolling, no auto updates.

I like it better than Oasis (which I might be confusing for something else), complaint: too minimal.

My go to for years was Square Home, great until last years' reinstall, then something (I forget), which was prob a combination of my fault and Android whatever it's on now (maybe 11).

My only other (notable) like is Smart Launcher, which is honestly great except for all the "cloud integration" stuff.

tripleo1on Ollama releases Python and JavaScript Libraries

tripleo1on Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way

maybe not if you want to build from source and the oriiginal tgz/git goes offline?

tripleo1on Niklaus Wirth, or the Importance of Being Simple

was that the case 30 years ago?

tripleo1on Drawing.garden

Not useless, but pointless. Gives vibes of adult coloring (books). Thank you.
