It is suffering from DDOS attack. People are already politicizing it trying to blame Iran.

Just use JSR[0] and only deal with npm when a project forces you to do things backwards. Since JSR packages are available on npm, there's nothing lost.

I have mixed feelings about the JSR requirement for explicit typing. Other than that, it is pretty great!

Gnu stow has finally been updated to fix a long standing issue so I can once again wholeheartedly recommend it again! It’s lightweight and uses symlinks. Last I checked, chezmoi has a symlink mode but it’s a bit worse.

Curious what the issue you were running into was? I’ve been using stow for my dotfiles for at least 8 years now and have been loving it the whole time.

All you need is a symlink script that symlinks files in ~ to ~/path/to/your/dotfiles

https://github.com/pprotas/dotfiles/blob/main/symlink.sh

That's it.

Using the GNU stow utility makes this super easy. It even has a --dotfiles flag so you can author your dotfiles as dot-zshrc and when the utility symlinks it, it will be .zshrc. Makes it nice so your source files are not hidden but the actual dotfiles are (as expected).

After getting past the lightning rod "orange man bad" and "laptop gate" preamble, I found that npr oped to be mostly spot on unfortunately. This from a life long npr listener who leans left.

That he is orange is just a fact. What makes him a bad man is everything else he does.

https://asdf-vm.com/ ASDF is better because it works with many more languages, other than only Python, like Rust, Go, Node, etc, and other tools, such as AWS/Google/Firebase/Azure CLIs.

You should check out mise (https://github.com/jdx/mise), it is very similar to ASDF (multi langs) but written in Rust instead of Bash, and doesnt use the shim technique that ASDF does. My shell startup went from a couple hundred ms to a couple dozen ms.

>It's very hard to reason about DOM

I don't mean to be overly snarky here, but as someone who's just totally out of their depth in modern web UI - is that why people like these frameworks? Because they're very easy to reason about? I've generally found them to be mountains and mountains of boilerplate and spaghetti, but I really do not have a wide base of experience to pull from on this topic.

For your blog, jquery is totally fine and reasonable. Jquery for a web application? That is going to be way more of a headache. It all depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.

> Beeper Mini is beautiful, fast and fun. Our main goal with the app is to upgrade chats between iPhone and Android users from unencrypted green bubble SMS to encrypted, fully featured blue bubble chats.

Can someone help me understand a big question about iMessage? What makes iMessage so special that it needs to run on android?

There are plenty of other cross platform applications for messaging that fit the quoted needs. WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram are a few examples. If end users care about “upgraded chats”, they can simply use one of those and ask those whom they message to also use those apps.

Am I missing something? What makes iMessage so special?

jmondi · 2 years ago
It is the default message platform on iPhones, that is what makes it so special.

I'd love to see a library like ecto (eilxir) for javascript. its easily the best toolkit for working with sql I've ever found. simple, powerful and easy to reason about
jmondi · 2 years ago
Curious what you think makes it better than other examples out there? How is it different than Active Record or Prisma?
