    Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:

    - gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]

    - duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]

    - massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]

    - gotop: a `top` clone [4]

    - micro: a nice TUI editor [5]

    Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

  • Text Editor: Data Structures
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Dec 2023
    > The worst way to store and manipulate text is to use an array.

    Claim made from theoretical considerations, without any actual reference to real-world editors. The popular Micro[1] text editor uses a simple line array[2], and performs fantastically well on real-world editing tasks.

    Meanwhile, ropes are so complicated that even high-quality implementations have extremely subtle bugs[3] that can lead to state or content corruption.

    Which data structure is "best" is not just a function of its asymptotic performance. Practical considerations are equally important (arguably more so).

  • A simple guide for configuring sudo and doas
    3 projects | dev.to | 24 Dec 2023
    There are two main ways to configure sudo.The first one is using the sudoers file.It is located at /etc/sudoers for Linux,and /usr/local/etc/sudoers for FreeBSD respectively.The paths are different,but the configuration works in the same way. A typical sudoers file looks like this. The sudoers file must be edited with the visudo command,which ensures the config is free of errors.Running this command as the root user will result in opening vi by default.If you want to use a different editor you can set the VISUAL environment varaible to the editor you want. For example,if you want to use micro as the text editor run:
