XMonad is an an amazing window manager (WM) made by a bunch of nerds who care a whole lot about a niche problem. Software by caring nerds is my favorite software as a user.
I really hope it makes the jump to Wayland. I've used XMonad for more than a decade and it's still my favorite WM.
XMonad really let me forget about managing windows---I never have to resize a window or remember where I put a window. XMonad handles the arranging and resizing and floating for me. There's a nice layout for small screens that will zoom your active window[0]. You can cobble your desktop together into whatever makes you happiest: Active corners. ScratchPads. So much in XMonad Contrib[1].
Since I'm not the right person to help with porting to Wayland, I'm giving money via the GitHub sponsorship page[2].
I check in on discourse from time to time: progress looks slow. The person/people they need are hard to come by.
Poker hands would pretty cool for encoding things that you have to recognize quickly; e.g., key fingerprints. If there are 2.5M unique hands then encoding 256 bits of information requires 12(ish) poker hands.
I am a subscriber to Hearing Things, so I knew the context going in. But I thought the second sentence made it clear they were music journalists and not artists.
Hearing Things publishes playlists as music reviews—text, that is. And the playlists are available on all music streaming platforms.
But this blog announced that their playlists will no longer be on Spotify due to Spotify's continuing enshitification—I found no reductive moralism, only an interesting bad review.
Saw it this weekend, it's a solid Pixar movie. But I only learned about it because I was looking to go see a movie and Elio was the most original movie playing at the local theater; I'd heard nothing about it.
I have heard more about the two live-action remakes (Lilo and Stitch/How to Train Your Dragon) and the sequel (28 years later) that are currently showing.
People who have kids know it will be on streaming and can't afford the theatre. Figure it out. This isn't nostalgia IP, it's for actual children. Like who live in families with budgets and priorities. Catch me when the streaming numbers post.
I have kids and this post is the first I'm even hearing about it, but you're right I'm not rushing to the cinema, remortgaging my house only to surround myself with feral kids, I'll wait until it hits Disney Primeflix.
They've been playing trailers for it for literal years. It seems like we started seeing Elio trailers before kid's movies around fall or winter 2022. My wife and I had started wondering if it was ever going to come out.
The last kiwix zim dump of English Wikipedia before the release of ChatGPT is from May 2022. The Internet Archive still preserves the torrent[0]. To host this, or browse it locally you can use `kiwix-serve -p 8888 wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2022-05.zim` from kiwix-tools[1].
There are likely a number of beneficial bots[0] running from cloud providers. And residential proxies are also widely available for very determined scrapers.
I spent a large chunk of 2024 reading _The Power Broker_ and all the Lyndon Johnson volumes. Caro recreates the entire world of every story in those books in so much detail that every biography or historical book I've read since has felt thin. I'm desperate for the fifth volume of the Johnson biography—I have no idea how he'll pull off such a sweeping final chapter, but I cannot wait to find out.
