And below everything else is the web version of MSOffice. How I hate whenever I’m forced to use that…

Whenever I know the name of the package I want to see, I always type in the URL directly: npm.im/[package-name]

How does the archive they provide look like? Many zip files? I would like to retrieve them and offload to another storage service but I don’t have local storage enough to hold all of it at the same time, unpack and then reupload. I would need to do it in stages.

There’s Tangled[0], but I don’t have personal experience with it.

Well, just by reading the abstract I can’t tell if the results are positive or not. But glad to see more research being done on this area.

All of this is meant for 100% public data, right? Or is there a concept of visibility control? Can I create private communities, with data flowing just inside?

I’m always surprised when they (GPT 4.1 in my case) manage to get all of the closing parentheses right! I’d have guessed that having such a sequence of same characters would be a challenge for the LLM to use the right amount

It’s not that bad, you are still able to control your position and nudge the spawned enemies away, and force the boss to kill these enemies for you. And even if you get cornered here and there there’s plenty of time and space in this fight to heal back.

I do! And not only that, but I only read them through RSS.

Do you approve on every update of the package? Do they offer a way to quickly review what’s going to run and what has changed since the last approval? Otherwise it’s just like another checkbox of “I confirm I read the terms and conditions”

I haven’t the tried Hyprland, but I use i3, which I assume it should be similar. I do this sort of thing quite often when presenting on zoom at work. Suppose I want to present only the top-left section of my screen, then I split vertically first and the left side I split horizontally. This other 2 zones I use to put other supporting windows and to search stuff out of screen. When I need to present more apps, i3 also allow you to stack windows in a specific zone. It’s quite easy to switch between all the windows and have full control of the layout.

Not OP, but for me is the music plugin industry that almost never provides a linux VST. Some will work with wine, some won’t.

But for everything else I’m on linux as well.

I believe it would be too hard to keep up with pace of TypeScript development. We should probably at some point formally define the system and allow for alternative implementations outside of the control of Microsoft.

> Beta technology disclaimer > Rovo Dev in the CLI is a beta product under active development. We can only support a certain number of users without affecting the top-notch quality and user experience we are known for providing. Once we reach this limit, we will create a waiting list and continue to onboard users as we increase capacity. This product is available for free while in beta.

Awesome! Regarding the keyboard I would recommend going towards the mechanical path. Browse https://kbd.news/ for some inspiration. I built a 36 keys for myself that is portable and very capable. You can even map keys to control the mouse and much more. Definitely going to keep an eye on the advancements of AR glasses from now on.

I’m on the same boat as you. Had this idea some time ago and I feel that this should be doable with today’s LLMs tooling. On the coming weeks I’ll be trying to hook something up and see how far can I get, with the extra requirement from my side that everything should run locally.
