dotvim VS hn-search

A lot of people shared minimalistic designs here.

Honestly, I think the internet got quite boring since the golden age of construction and unicorn gifs. I miss the quirky internet where everybody could just have their own little unique corner however they liked to build it.

When I redesigned my blog, I built it out of fun, maybe it will inspire somebody else to do the same: https://cookie.engineer

Honestly I don't think a low JS usage makes a website better. For me, I always cherished a separation of concerns approach, where I am trying to make a website work as good as possible with HTML and CSS only (including print stylesheets).

JS is for me where the fun interaction comes from, where the little details can shine through.

I don't have many posts, but some ideas in the pipeline that I'm working on. Planning on documenting a lot more about the hardware tinkering I am doing.

I also added a bunch of secrets and games to the website, with the idea that the source code can be used to explore and learn. There's even an unsolved crypto puzzle in there, but it seems to be a little too hard considering it's been unsolved for over 10 years now.

My dotvim repo [1] contains a statically archived version of all plugins, as to being able to work in case things upstream get unstable or aren't integrated yet with my config.

I'm using a copy of zen.vim [2] which is quite nice because it's basically a git clone which is integrated with vim's native plugin api.

I've also written some cleanup scripts, because people never learn it's bad to upload their readme gifs into the git repos ...

If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the thread.

It looks like the most commented-on posts are from 10+ years ago.

I first heard of Solarpunk from the Imaginary Worlds podcast:

Which I prompted me to post the Wikipedia link 4 years ago, several others posted similar links prior to that, and others have posted interesting links hear too:

I will deeply deeply having someone so well connected to such incredibly complex contemporary digital rights issues in a place of power. Patrick Breyer's work in advocating & sharing what's going on has been such an incredibly high form of service, has illuminated such a dark & scary part of governance, and it's hard to imagine who else in the world is going to step up & be the light in Patrick's absence.

Patrick, thank you for the many years of incredible service. Your writing online about what's happening is without peer. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=patrick%20breyer&sort=byDate

Anything this common becomes noise, since it doesn't add any new information.

Heres' another way to look at it: since the idea of HN is to be intellectually interesting (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), repetition is the most important thing to avoid (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

At least as far as Hacker News is concerned, I'd call htmx way more marketed. It has hundreds of HN submissions in the past year alone [0] including one that broke 1000 points, compared to Hotwire which is sitting at about 40 submissions in the past year [1], the most popular of which is this one.
