  1. I don't think anything illustrates Emacs's beautiful hackiness quite like the experience of running into a bug while using Emacs (in this case, a consistent double-input when pressing ctrl+space on my Android tablet) and being able to write a patch for the bug from inside your Emacs config without even touching the source code or building anything.

  2. Saw the SQLite project's Code of Ethics for the first time today. It's... interesting.

  3. @CuratedHackerNews What is this logo lmao?
    It looks like the logo of some random independent FOSS project from the 2000s, not a flagship software product developed by Google in 2026.

  4. Apple's Weather app (at least the *OS 26 one) is lowkey the nicest looking and most aesthetically pleasing piece of software I've ever used. The way it reflects the real world weather conditions and time of day in the app's colour scheme, UI elements, and animated graphical effects is so nice.

  5. TIL making .app wrappers on macOS for GUI apps distributed as simple binaries, such as those from pkgsrc, is piss easy.

    Step 1: Create a directory named <App Name>.app
    Step 2: Symlink the binary into the root of the .app directory with the same name as the directory but without the .app

    That's literally it. You don't need to do anything else, it just works. Incredible.

  6. Thought my old PC was looking lonely, decided to turn it into a distcc build server for Portage and my other compilation needs. Resulted in a noticeable speed boost.

    For older/unused hardware, Linux is the gift that keeps on giving. :tux:

  7. A mainstay of my development workflow is playing Project Diva while waiting for CI pipelines to run
