ernestrc··on Rune 1.1: adds Python, an Emacs editor, a symbol index and is now free
Fair. I’ll change the wording so it’s obvious. To answer your question, there’s no difference other than the licensing terms allowing you to use it for commercial work.

No connection. Naming things, sigh. It’s hard to find an unused name these days.
ernestrc··on Rune 1.1: adds Python, an Emacs editor, a symbol index and is now free
Not a walkthrough video, no. The first steps section of the getting started guide is the best place to start (https://docs.rune.build/#your-first-steps). There are also a few short clips on the home, Go and Python pages. Fair ask though! a short walkthrough is on the list.

Thanks, looking into it.

edit: I think it's from all the videos playing at once, even when not visible. It should be fixed now.

ernestrc··on Rune 1.1: adds Python, an Emacs editor, a symbol index and is now free
Author here. We pushed 1.1 today. It was scheduled for release two weeks ago, but it was quite hard to balance adding so many new features with the influx of bug reports that followed our launch a month ago. Obviously, adding Python is a big one, but I'm most excited about the new symbol index, which reduces 10-second workspace-wide queries to under 100 ms. The agent also uses this index, so the benefits compound over long agentic sessions as well. FWIW I'm not quite sure about the black-and-white dimming feature. If it's not useful, we might remove it in a future release so please let us know!
ernestrc··on Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
Fable or gpt5.6 sol for planning. Gemini 3.6 Flash for executing. Wow, Google is onto something here. I always thought that gemini 3.5-flash was the most underrated model. Let's see how much better is 3.6 flash.
ernestrc··on The Rise of the Command Line: building a new IDE (2017–2026)
Author here. This is a nine-year account of building Rune, a new IDE for Go (Python and Rust are next). It started when my Vim's go-to-definition broke in 2017 and I decided to build my own editor rather than adopt an IDE. Happy to answer questions.
ernestrc··on Quake 3 Source Code Review: Network Model (2012)
Such a good read on a Saturday morning as I slowly sip my matcha. The simple pleasures of life.
ernestrc··on Written by a 16 year old, a book on how computers work
This is beyond brilliant! So well written. Love the gen Z tone. I’m bookmarking it for my kids.
ernestrc··on Gemma: New Open Models
Hopefully they can tweak the default system prompts to be accurate on historical questions, and apply bias on opinions.
ernestrc··on Having a game I'm into makes every day enjoyable
Great article! I had deep, long-lasting obsessions with games growing up until I discovered programming. For me, it's not so much about the challenge anymore; it's about building stuff. Once I discovered programming, games felt like very small and limiting sandboxes. If I played a game for 10 hours a day, I would not be able to convince myself that it's okay for me and those around me. However, since programming is lucrative and comes with a pat in the back, I struggle to find a good work-life balance still to this day.
ernestrc··on Spain lives in flats: why we have built our cities vertically
Spaniard living in the US here. I grew up in apartment complexes and don’t ever remember worrying about noise. I think there’s definitely a component of just being used to it. Agree with your point on construction materials in the US, in relation to noise levels: the only time in my life that I was bothered by my loud neighbors was when I lived in a multi-family home unit in San Mateo, CA. It was a 4-unit home and I could literally hear all my neighbors whereabouts 24/7.
