higon··on NetHack 5.0.0
Glad to hear it received a major update. Nethack on Slackware Linux was my childhood and has a special place in me. It taught me how to really use computers. Time to compile the source code again, folks.
higon··on Neovim Pack
Still primitive. But I'd love to drop lazy for this once they implement a differed load.

I love lazy.nvim. It's great no doubt. But recently I felt like the author is taking an aggressive user retention behavior by re-imprementing every useful open-source community plugins out there (like snack.nvim, mini.nvim). That's a kill-zone/copycat strategy. I don't get it.

higon··on Show HN: Chawan TUI web browser
Long time w3m user here. Tried it and I can love it. Very nice.

Is that your design choice not having "Open URL"(Address bar) feature?

higon··on XML, Java, and the Future of the Web (1997)
Idea of XML being superior to anything was the plague nearly everyone at the time caught. Evangelists would be the chosen one or so they thought. But they turned out to be a bunch of con men chasing easy fame. Having once been vaccinated with dynamic programming languages and coding-by-convention, who will ever go back there?

Oh... typescript... you...!!!

This site has no link to the official "Motiv" bland website, and looks like being built by "Wix.com Website Builder". While the idea is attractive, I would call this a fake bs.
higon··on HipChat security notice
Just got hit by this. Everybody in my team was using HipChat as a primary online communication tool. So, was nice to see nobody in the room for a while.

  Fine, but I wonder why they didn't reset the API tokens while resetting password immediately. Are they managed by the different servers/services?
higon··on Staticman: user-generated content for static sites
Wanted to try out a bit. But approving a permission request for "read/write all the Github PRIVATE repository" and "read/WRITE all the my info." is alarmingly risky...

And this site itself is not even open-sourced? hmmm.
