TeddyDD··on Nushell 0.85
They still do breaking changes, so it's probably for the best.
TeddyDD··on Backward Compatibility, Go 1.21, and Go 2
I'm clueless when it comes to HN formatting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
TeddyDD··on Backward Compatibility, Go 1.21, and Go 2
Let's say I described steps to hack on some Go package. When installing libs/programs, go get/install is enough :)
TeddyDD··on Backward Compatibility, Go 1.21, and Go 2
Go developer experience: * install the newest compiler * clone the code * go build

Python developer experience: - clone the code - setup virtual env (otherwise you will break your system) - install very specific version of interpreter because lib x supports only Python from 2020, because Python breaks compatibility in minor versions - no, you can't just update lib x withut updating python and other deps - install deps (hopefully author of the code pinned everyting, otherwise you're fucked) - never update any deps or you will suffer

TeddyDD··on Stable Diffusion XL 1.0
13b q5 llama report „total VRAM used: 8321 MB” so 3bit will most likely fit into 8GB.
TeddyDD··on Plasticity – CAD for Artists
I look at it as alternative to MOI3D [1] - a NURBS based modeler.

TeddyDD··on Show HN: Halloy – A GUI Application in Rust for IRC
First thing I look at when checking out a new shinny GUI toolkit of the month is whenever it has support for a11y features. In this case, it's not even on the roadmap.

There are proposals for ircv3 that aim to add support for custom emoji, reactions, message editing etc. Soju + Gamja + Goguma is pretty usable combo even today.
TeddyDD··on Anna’s Archive: Open-source data library
I don't get why there is a DMCA form: https://annas-archive.org/copyright
TeddyDD··on Ask HN: Can Lua be remade to use 0-based numbering?
If you every decide to create a scripting language, remember - it must look like C. 0-based indexing, syntax, everything. Gods forbid if you write lisp interpreter! Basically, every derivation from C will be treated as heresy and will cause countless complaints from people who never wrote a line of code in your language. /s

Seriously now: it can be done, but would be a massive waste of time.

See also rant[1] of sixel-tmux author.

> It's 2021, and we should be able to do litterate programming in the console, with full graphical support.

Yeah. We are stuck cosplaying computers from the sixties.

What's even funnier, even if you find a modern terminal emulator that supports features like ligatures, graphics, emoji etc. you still will be blocked by tmux. Sure - not everyone needs tmux. If you never work on remote machines, you can live without it.

But I work on remote machines all the time. I also use Kakoune text editor that defers window management to external tools (WM or tmux, but to be honest, tmux is much better). Zellij is more of r/unixporn bait than usable tool for now. So I'm stuck with text only interface.

TeddyDD··on Are We Sixel Yet
This is good example why: https://nitter.it/thingskatedid/status/1316074032379248640#m
TeddyDD··on Why Perl?
Bullshit, Python breaks compatibility between minor releases all the time. The script you wrote for 3.8 has high chance of being broken on 3.11.
TeddyDD··on Things created with GPT-4
I'll get excited when FOSS community catch up, and I'll be able to run GTP-4 like models locally instead of calling some API.
TeddyDD··on Bicycle
Countersteering is explained later in the article.
TeddyDD··on cat mario.nes | nc play-nes.org 4444
There is no such thing as useless use of cat in interactive shell. The rule (barely) matters in scripting.
TeddyDD··on Discord, or the Death of Lore
Take a look at IRCv3 specs: https://ircv3.net/irc/

Unfortunately, many of them are still a work in progress. Still, a fully featured IRCv3 client connected to a modern server should be usable by normies.

TeddyDD··on Show HN: Lander, a lunar lander style web game
Landed on first try, years of playing Kerbal Space Program have come in handy :D
TeddyDD··on Godot 4.0 Released
No, it's custom UI. Blender is GPL, not sure how you would like to use it's code in MIT game engine project.
TeddyDD··on Why Steam Deck Is One of the Most Significant PC Gaming Moments in Years
From 1.5h to ~6h depending on the game. I'd love to see a bigger battery in the next version, though.
TeddyDD··on The Rock 5B is not a Raspberry Pi killer–yet
This. If it's not ARM System Ready, you will be stuck with some outdated kernels provided by the vendor. Unfortunately, it seems that most SBC are no certified.
TeddyDD··on PyTorch Vulkan Back End User Workflow
I wish I could use it on Linux as well to avoid AMD ROCm garbage...
TeddyDD··on Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)
https://grep.app/ and https://cht.sh/ for quick reference.
TeddyDD··on Epic is turning off online services and servers for some older games
I see this as an advantage.
TeddyDD··on Silver Bullet: Markdown-based extensible open source personal knowledge platform
There is no 100% spec compatible org-mode application for the mobile phones (because org mode does not have formal spec AFAIK). No amount of features will compensate that single drawback. End of story.
TeddyDD··on Affinity 2
I would gladly buy the whole package if they supported Linux. One can dream.
TeddyDD··on DontBuyDell.com
My Latitude 5420 has broken Ethernet on Linux... How it is possible to break Ethernet drives is beyond me.
TeddyDD··on Ask HN: Which Linux terminal emulator do you prefer and why?
I use Alacritty because it's easy to configure and low maintenance. It's missing two features I'd love to have: ligatures and inline images. Ligatures are not important enoguh to switch and inline images won't work in tmux (tried it with wezterm and kitty) so I guess I'm stuck.
TeddyDD··on Ask HN: Resources to learn generative art programming?
Context Free Art is a great tool for generative art. It's easy to learn and there is a gallery[1] with source code of each work available.

I was wondering whenever to continue my subscription. This answers my question.
