I third this motion.

If anyone wants to try the NNN (Niri-Nix-Noctalia) dots. Feel free to use my flake, https://github.com/MostlyKIGuess/nix-flake-public.


I used window managers for years, but the hurdle of actually configuring stuff not-related to the WM itself (like setting up dark mode) made me switch to a full-fledged desktop environment. Thanks for mentioning Noctalia - it looks like exactly what I needed!


I was in the same boat, and I ended up running this: https://danklinux.com/

It works a charm.


I was on the same boat as you. I installed noctalia after having tried and not really getting a perfect arch / niri / waybar setup.

I think I'm completely done after like 6 hours which is insanely fast, and it really is everything I ever wanted. It is cohesive, easy to style, has good defaults, includes essential programs like polkit agent and notification daemon / osd, has a ton of plugins.

I should have tried it so much sooner.


There are a lot of them (like Celestia, DMS etc) and they look very good too. They are all based on QuickShell which provides the actual building blocks.


It does have it's own quirks, but it is quite nice and works out of the box. Really enjoy the sleek design.


what's the Github program here?


Github gives Copilot Pro to open source maintainers but they don't really tell you what the requirements are. I have it and I just get a notification every month that it's been renewed and I never even applied for it. I assume it's a combination of activity on github and popularity of your repositories.


I work for a commercial open source company, working on the open source product. I applied for it way back in the day and got it, and i still get the emails every month saying that they renewed my free grant.

This is all despite the company also paying for Github Copilot.


I mean, there's also the whole GitHub free tier. It used to only be for public repos, so mostly OSS plus "shared source", but now they allow it for private as well. But it still costs them money to host your code and provide CI minutes.


I have added Jupyter support and Panning/Zooming for Zed, waiting for them to merge. But I have a version that I use, you can build it if ya want! The PRs: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/43553, https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/43944

My-Zed branch with both the features: https://github.com/MostlyKIGuess/zed/tree/my-zed


Aren't they against using the reverse engineered API and you posses a risk of ban?


We just wish https://github.com/tulir/whatsmeow didn't ban devs from using it. WhatsApp started off great and can be great again.


Why kill people who are trying to reverse engineer and write native apps for this? WhatsApp just bans you :(


They can't easily tell the difference between "good" custom clients and spambots.


I work on Robotics, so was recently implementing slamkit in rust. https://github.com/MostlyKIGuess/slam-rs

But a lot of what I work on is my classes giving me less time to open source nowadays, but I have also worked in implementing and mashing new Papers coming out in Robotics. Anyone who wants to talk more should please connect!


Any reason for using a transformer architecture? You look at https://olmocr.allenai.org/ which does the best handwritten-to-latex in my opinion also does use VLM.

Also maybe xD not use LLMs to generate your HN description.


I am still yet able to find an LLM which can understand it has to look for files and change config after an error, they have no understanding of when to comment things out and work. To be fair it can make websites, algorithms , copy things nicely but that's about it.

Another tool in the box. import pdb is my way still
