Ah! I just discovered #emacs OOTBox forward-paragraph for going to the next blank line in code files, where I have big space-divided data structures

Does anyone else have muddled together in their mind Golang, Rust, and Dart, as three almost cult-favorite languages of similar popularity and unclear differentiation? Here's what I found; someone fill me in or prove me wrong, please!

Golang is easy, Rust is hard, Dart is made for web. Dart and Go were both Google products, though Dart is open now. Go and Rust hit heavy on the low-level performance thing. Rust has the most compelling Free Software story of the three, if tech ethics matter to you.

This article is wrong in almost every detail characterizing "web apps". At least some of the generic advice, like dealing with screen size and taking different devices in to account, is somewhat correct.

Janet is basically #Clojure atop C. Interesting, for those who love C. https://janet-lang.org/
Introduced by https://swlkr.com/posts/clojure-isnt-for-me/, which says that if you love C and are embedded in their ecosystem and are NOT doing big webdev (arguable point here), Janet might be what you want.

Trying to make this PDF item into a datastructure is proving a real pain. I mean, obviously it's a table of tables. But copy-paste is NOT my friend here.

Scheduling group meetings. I used to like Doodle, but they have descended down the Freemium path of obnoxiousness, so https://framadate.org/ framadate looks really nice -- and free-open intentions are written into their MO.

Fantastic #css, really! I especially enjoyed speci-fish-ity https://estelle.github.io/CSS/selectors/index.html#slide20

if you are into CSS, I can't tell you how fantastic of a resource https://estelle.github.io/CSS/ is. I made it a few years ago. Interactive examples of almost every CSS property. Enjoy.

Built-in soft deletes are one of the reasons I like XTDB

Zulip doesn't do anything that a good email setup can't do. But it does it beautifully for those who can't go through the work to get that email setup. It also provides archives that can be handy to newcomers; I don't know how to do that with an email system.

A superb answer that explains why default #Clojure niceness inhibits numeric high-perforance, and how to get around that. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71790601/why-is-this-seemingly-basic-clojure-function-so-slow/71813121#71813121

With a googled Android device (Gapps installed, or default AOSP) I cannot screen mirror to anything but Chromecast. Back with de-googled I could mirror to my Roku fine (same physical device). This is Defective By Design #dbd and I hate it.
