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.

> 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).

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:

found that micro has dedicated info page for copy paste

I really like micro, a nano-like editor with a very sane, regular people friendly keybinding.

micro: winget install zyedidia.micro

Luckily I did not have to implement any of this myself apart from some glue code to fit it together: I used the library gocron for scheduling the regular intervals, gofeed for parsing the RSS feed and webmention for extracting links and sending webmentions.

The whole thing is written in Go on my end. Ingesting new headlines is handled in a goroutine that spawns within the process every 30 mins using a combo of the wonderful gofeed (https://github.com/mmcdole/gofeed) and colly (https://github.com/gocolly/colly) libraries.

When loading the front page, you're loading a 1-minute-cached HTML page of it that was constructed out of headlines already in my PostgreSQL database that were put there by the ingestion goroutine.

I like the idea of word clouds actually, I think you're on to something there. I think you just need to pre-generate them rather than doing it adhoc (if that's what you're doing here) for speed. Additionally, perhaps consider using sentiment in a way that orients stories based on positive and negative sentiment. Right now I am not seeing how I as a visitor/user can act on the sentiment analysis as it is presented now.

It would be neat to see a collection of uplifting stories grouped together through the sentiment analysis.

Anyway, food for thought. I hope you keep hacking away on it as it's just good fun to build things.

I needed to scan the blog feed and wanted to do it in Go, so the first thing I did was look for any libraries that would make it easier for me not to reinvent the wheel and I found the github.com/mmcdole/gofeed. It had a lot of features but I had enough with the basic use described in its README.
