Lawndesk. Its not on play store, you have to download apk from github, but it does not have a drawer.

Every app is on the desktop, i organise them into folders and have a single home page with all the apps.

I wouldn't call it state-of-the-art, but rather maybe most-straightforward or database-agnostic or as-simple-as-they-get

I use helix btw

Yes. Highlighting, these selection actions and symbol detection all work with tree-sitter grammars. The whole premise of the editor is a modern-modal-editing with tree-sitter grammars.

 

If imperioum has made a mistake a sent a man that was released back to some other level, how does that tell prisoners that all released inmates are just being sent to another prison?

I'm a bit surprised helix editor is not mentioned. It is based on tree-sitter grammars and allows for stuff like select-around-function or select-around-argument, to use grammar in the code navigation. Pretty wild and useful.

Hmm, i tried to make a joke about thanking both parent posters, which makes them a plural noun, which makes thou wrong as it is only used for singular.

But i guess i was wrong in an orthogonal dimension as well.

Ok, i'm on board. Thank thou two

Yeah, but I think it is speaking in first person, about itself. So it should be "I saw" and "I think", regardless of its pronouns in third person.

Yea, but socket is not a file. Maybe if you stretch the definition.

Well in any case, when people say that linux is great because everything is a file, they either mean that:

  • they can edit configuration of most things with a text editor, or that
  • in bash (and other shells) it is easy to work with byte streams, piping them from one process to another and compose complex behaviour from simple commands.

It could be a process, which you can talk to only via an IPC call. For example, dbus

You are either a crazy nutjob or a genius thinker. Interesting idea

For the last year, I've been working on a query language that aims to replace SQL and data frame libraries. It's continuation of my work on PRQL and EdgeQL.

Now I need feedback on usability, ergonomics and overall design. Read trough the examples, check out the CLI & tell me what could be better.

Is anyone here running Sandstorm? If yes, what's your experience?

I really like the idea of "grains" where an instance of the app runs for each document/project/unit of data your app has. It does improve security a lot, because it is very similar as running root-less docker.

I also like the unified auth and user management sandstorm provides.

 

I don't have much to say, only that I expected flutter to be a bloated fragile abstraction on top of different native GUI APIs, but no.

It's quite fast, relatively easy to develop and it just works.

I'm working on a desktop app that needs a high-perf rust impl, and (for now) flutter looks like a much better choice than tauri.

 

When I was in high school I found Sublime Text and learned "multiple cursors". Since then, I've transitioned to vscode, mainly because I need LSP (without too much configuration work) for my work.

I keep hearing about how modal editing is faster and I would like to switch to a more performant editor. I've been looking at helix, as the 4th generation of the vi line of editors. Is anyone using it? Is it any good for the main code editor?

The problem that I have is that learning new editing keybindings would probably take me a month of time, before I get to the same amount of productivity (if I ever get here at all). So I'm looking for advice of people who have already done that before.

My code editing does involve a lot of "ctrl-arrow" to move around words, "ctrl-shift-arrow" to select words, "home/end" to move to beginning/end of the line, "ctrl-d" for "new cursor at next occurrence", "shift-alt-down" for "new cursor in the line below", "ctrl-shift-f" for "format file" and a few more to move around using LSP-provided "declaration"/"usages".

I would have to unlearn all of that.

Also, I do use "ctrl-arrow" to edit this post. Have you changed keybindings in firefox too?

 

Anyone using soucehut (sr.ht)? Can you please explain to me how you navigate the site?

I really like the minimalist approach and extremely fast website UI, but I just cannot navigate the site.

If I'm looking at source of a repo on https://git.sr.ht/ and want to see open tickets, how do I navigate to https://todo.sr.ht/ ? If I click on "todo" at the top, it takes me to my todo lists, not todo of the project I was just looking at.

 

I'd expect the state to have a list of all its citizens and their basic personal info (age) which could be used to determine their eligibility for voting. In my country, we get a "invitation" to the vote, with your voter station and info on how to change it.

Instead, I'm seeing posts about USA's "voter rolls", which are sometimes purged, which prevents people from voting. Isn't this an attack on the voting system and democracy itself?

So why doesn't USA have a list of voters? Are they stupid?

 

I know that the answer is yes, I should, but outlets near the setup are not grounded (even though they look like they are) and I don't want to have wires running though my living room.

The real question is what are potential problems ? Occasional system reboots? Permanent damage to PSU? Permanent damage to other components?
