Shellcheck is another useful one (linter for shell scripts)

https://www.shellcheck.net/


Haskell is an amazing type checker that’s occasionally used for writing software. ;-)

This thing is awesome!

I tried it on couple of one liners and it found a couple of potential problematic points, one for each one liner.


ShellCheck is an essential part of my projects' CI, couldn't do without it!

Yeah but, cynically, in todays age people put questions in a search or LLM instead of reading docs/manuals let alone reading what’s in their screen… so this article will be useful for them till they can out-SEO’d by Link farms.

Let alone reading what’s on their screen when they enable features, promptly forgetting they enabled it, thus asking how to disable them…

Ok enough. Have a good day :)


Probably had to be a Lisp, considering the OP was coming from Clojure. Rust and Go fail that (unwritten) requirement.

Would be interested in seeing this


3D acceleration is pretty well supported in VMware and sorta works well in UTM


Complete pain in the butt for anything else like qemu


It's pretty manageable with libvirt + virt-manager sitting on top of QEMU, though.

UTM's backend is qemu, isn't it? so one could check what they're doing


> Can’t a non-crazy nonprofit make a browser?

Here’s to hoping LadyBird remains non crazy and can be relevant by the time of their planned alpha release in 2026.


To be honest it needs a different name if it’s going to hit critical mass adoption with the average consumer.


What's wrong with ladybird?


>What's wrong with ladybird?

Honestly all of these x/y names just imply that they are knockoffs of firefox. Which is fine if you want your browser to just be firefox±some feature firefox doesn't include, but not so great if you're wanting to stand on your own branding wise.

Plus ladybird is the less popular name of the ladybug and if you aren't aware of that, it just seems like some weird needlessly gendered name, which doesn't make sense for a browser to have. Plus a bunch of ladybug type branding with red and black dots and such seems cringey.

Just a complete all around fail to consider branding.


Netscape, Edge, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, All have a pop appeal to them (the names)

"Ladybug" makes a reference to a bug. And not a thrilling one.


huh? of all the bugs in the world, ladybugs are among the most popular, the majority of them are harmless and prey on agricultural pests. at least where i come from the association with "ladybug" is "cute".


It's bird though, not bug.


Ladybird is the UK term for what Americans call Ladybugs


Then it is going to be adopted everywhere fine except the UK.


I don't see why it wouldn't. Ladybird Books has been around for 157 years:

With the average English-speaking consumer. You forgot the other 7 billion people, which isn't your fault as it happens here all the time.


You might want to read back through the history of its creator


I have, and it's honestly none of my business and of no consequence to me [0].

Because the rich and powerful people who will reap the most benefit from all the automation will not redistribute the wealth to the now-useless ex-labor force.


Oh, they will. The only question is whether this will happen sooner and voluntarily, or later with torches and pitchforks.


Better bring out the pitchforks earlier while we still have access to them!!


> and I would like to be able to tell it not to keep featuring photos of my ex wife years after the divorce.

You can already do that by pressing the three dots menu on a featured photo or memory and selecting the Feature this person less, with then options to not feature at all or just less.


> This approach entails running the ML models on the only place where we actually have access to the data: locally on the user's device.

I’d suggest changing the wording to reflect that Ente the company (“we”) doesn’t actually have access to the data…


> Do people still think, "Oh, well - 80% of the world can't be wrong"?

Yes and “if they’re so big they must be doing something right”

And “if they did something wrong the govt would come down on them”

And “they already have all my data anyway so who cares?”

I’ve heard all of those and more.
