lytedev··on Backdooring Rust crates for fun and profit
Don't you have the same problem with C?
lytedev··on Reimagine Atomic CSS
Do this with CSS variables and only add new ones once you need them. This has been working great for me.
lytedev··on Etsy’s Journey to TypeScript
And if you're already familiar with such things, I could definitely see picking it up rather quickly.
lytedev··on Use forums rather than Slack/Discord to support developer community
Microsoft does the same thing. Crazy beans.
lytedev··on Raspberry Pi 4 achieves Vulkan 1.1 conformance, gets GPU performance boost
Better power efficiency
lytedev··on Vimconf 2021 – Oct 29, 30
It does. But use a mouse if you want to!
lytedev··on No YAML
Been using it for the docker compose that builds my entire homelab (~30 services, fairly complex config) and I love it. It's saved me from some really nasty bugs a handful of times.
lytedev··on Deno 1.14
Probably not, but Deno has Oak, which is Express-like and the combination of those two will get you close. But most node libs are not compatible and similarly node projects.
lytedev··on IBM mainframe beats other platforms for cost and performance
Not sure it's entirely relevant, but I really like what Oxide[1] is doing in this space!

Commodity hardware goes into their racks, open firmware and bootloader, etc. etc. and their podcast is a must-listen for any computing enthusiast.

lytedev··on Elementary OS 6 Odin
Why is that?
lytedev··on Starlink is better than satellite and DSL but not as fast as fiber or cable
Maybe I'm opening a can of worms here, but isn't Elon's Twitter an unreliable source of factual information when it comes to promises about the future capabilities of his companies?
lytedev··on New UUID Formats – IETF Draft
This is a good point. Thank you!
lytedev··on New UUID Formats – IETF Draft
This sounds like a mistake? When/why should the application validate the format of a UUID?
lytedev··on New UUID Formats – IETF Draft
My understanding is that if the UUID is not sortable, inserting it into an index can be a performance hit. So if you have a write-heavy table with non-sorted primary keys, you will have a lower ceiling (higher overhead).
lytedev··on New UUID Formats – IETF Draft
Doesn't the textual representation not matter for using them in DB columns? The DB just uses the actual bytes, no?
lytedev··on Lang Jam: create a programming language in a weekend
0b10 is the best 10
lytedev··on Better Business Intelligence in Elixir with Livebook
What do you mean read-only? You could pull data from a read-only data source.
lytedev··on Creep – a pretty sweet 4px wide pixel font
It's definitely niche, and I seem to recall some really interesting fonts that did interesting things that encouraged some really wacky and neat projects, but I can't recall names...
lytedev··on Slack launches Huddles, Discord-like audio calls you can hop in and out of
You would enjoy Firefox Containers!
lytedev··on Safari 15 on Mac OS, a user interface mess
Browsers like this exist, but require configuration you're probably not willing to set up. If that's the case, then perhaps it's safe to say that most people just don't care enough.
lytedev··on Artsey – One-Handed Keyboard
I used it to build a fully wireless split keyboard. Each half has a BLE-capable MCU (nice!nano). The primary half communicate with the secondary half and primary halves. It works WAY better than I thought it was. I was quite concerned about latency and the secondary half modifier keys. Instead, the biggest problem is the hot-swap sockets I got. I will go back to soldering my switches from now on.
lytedev··on Bakeware: Compile any Elixir application into a single binary
You can do this with WSL or Docker, can you not?
lytedev··on Show HN: Verilog2factorio
No reason not to share works on progress with the world!
lytedev··on Zellij – A Terminal Workspace and Multiplexer
Check out tmate
lytedev··on Ifconfig.co – Hacker-friendly “What is my IP address”
cURL has flags for this!

        curl -4 icanhazip.com
        curl -6 icanhazip.com
lytedev··on Only Google is really allowed to crawl the web
No, it's not. I can setup a login page and keep you out if I want. And I can do it however I want.
lytedev··on Flameshot – Simple, powerful screenshot tool for all major operating systems
OBS should work. I believe depending on your setup, you may need to setup Pipewire.
lytedev··on Lena
Seconding Bobiverse! Really fun set of books!
lytedev··on I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit
The main issues for me were HiDPI support and screen tearing (when not running a compositor)
lytedev··on The MIT License, Line by Line
Probably to clarify against exclusive or?
