Maybe it’s the HN effect but /files takes a while to load.

Personally while I appreciate something not being AI slop, writing something in Rust has no meaning to me.


yeah this is because we're currently (very temporarily) hosting things in NFS and git stat operations are very slow since they assume a fast file FS. we'll fix that in a few.

and yeahhhh, i do try to be very non-marketing in all that i say, but something about the title made me a bit ambitious, apologies.


No. It’s perfect as is. I can find everything I want. Everything is accessible to everyone and screen readers. Does not require JavaScript.

The home page links are teeny tiny on a phone screen, borderline unreadable.

That's because phone browsers have the insane braindead default of scaling everything into tiny unreadableness. You have to explicitly say "stupid browser, nobody ever wanted this shit, behave sensibly by including <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">. No idea why this idiotic custom still hasn't been purged from mobile browsers, but I guess it's just a valuable tradition now...

Before mobile browsers arrived, everything was fine and nobody needed meta viewport stuff. That's why this 1997 era page doesn't have it.


> everything was fine

Everything was fine best viewed in IE5.5 at 1024x768. Time has changed.


If only there was a way to zoom, on your phone?!

If only you could add 500 bytes of CSS so the content fits the screen.

> Does not require JavaScript

Who mentioned JavaScript?


They did - their list wasn’t all related to _your_ post, other than to say the site is “perfect” to them, after which they enumerated the reasons including “does not require JavaScript”

I’m pretty sure I did it for much cheaper back in the day.

Alphabet has decades of financials and is the most profitable company in the world.

How so?

For starters, Singapore wasn't founded by a group of ethno-national colonists who drove out the indigenous population...

Firstly, the 'Islamic' character of Malaysia and Indonesia has never really factored into Singapore's geopolitical confrontation or collaboration within SEA. Secondly, the narrative that Israel is some kind of plucky outpost standing up to barbaric Islamic hordes at its gates is, at best, profoundly naive at this point. There isn't a meaningful correlation to be found here except through the lens of intellectual laziness and Islamophobia.

Some people deserve to be insulted. It’s fine.

Yeah idk about all the typst HN shilling. Latex works great and is as free as it can get.

You can use Typst 100% for free, just like LaTeX. There's a CLI for compilation, there's an LSP, code formatter, etc. Complaining that the web app has a paid tier is like complaining that Overleaf is paid.

As for why people shill Typst over LaTeX, it's just a better overall experience. Things that are annoying in LaTeX are easy in Typst. I've written plenty of LaTeX for academic papers and my Master's dissertation, but I'm now writing my PhD thesis in Typst. It's so much better. The only barrier to using it everywhere is that my colleagues still prefer to use Overleaf for collaboration, which forces me to use LaTeX for papers.


Fellow Typst user for my PhD thesis, can concur.

This is the same on anything with DRM. You can watch content without DRM and you’ll be limited to 720p but you can take screenshots.

I don’t like it either but it has nothing to do with Apple.


You can use the GHC musl container: benz0li/ghc-musl:9.8.4 to create static binaries. I've specialized that into -arm64 and -amd64 containers for forgejo actions.

Anytime I push to my Haskell repos my actions automatically create static binaries for installation on my nodes.


As an intermediate Haskell programmer, I’ve found that using AI to debug or learn Haskell is a better use of time than generating a lot of code with it.

Even without AI most of my Haskell time is spent thinking.

Also, I hand writing Haskell is one of my small after work pleasures.


Much agreed
