Dune Shell: bash + lisp

    I made a local APT repository that automatically fetches DEBs and AppImages from anywhere
  • Willing to give this a go. My go-to for getting non-repo debs automatically has been deb-get which works well but seems susceptible to issues when changes in the software it lists causes it to break and whilst the fix itself is usually made pretty quickly, it seems to go long periods of time between PR merges and releases (which includes adding new software). If this is a viable replacement for it then i'd love to start using it.

    Best Email Client
  • I've just moved to Thunderbird. I was never keen on the old design and found it rather clunky but the new UI I find much better.

    I was using Mailspring but it has recently just refused to work on my device and I never even got a response on the community forums so I've just given up on it.

    What are all the ethnic foods you've ever eaten?
  • My favourite cuisines I've had which were not common ones you can just find on any high street here were mostly found during the height of covid when I was working quite a way from home but the hotel's restaurant was closed so I had to order delivery each night.

    • Nigerian: Ordered this a few times, peppersoup, moin moin, draw soup, eba amongst the things I had. Soon after a West African section opened in my local supermarket so I could at least get some of the main ingredients to cook some at home.
    • Ethiopian: Amazing, not tried cooking any yet, some ingredients seem hard to come by
    • Afghan: Had a bunch of times as there was a restaurant in my town
    • Sri Lankan: Love it, superficially similar to Indian food but I was surprised just how different it was and has become one of my favourites that I cook at home with regularity.

    IDE/Text Editor Recommendations for Go Development on Linux
  • Pulsar is a fork of Atom under active development. We don't publish a flatpak (yet) but there is a community maintained flatpak for it.

    Otherwise if you want to look at something else I'd give Lite XL, Lapce or even Zed (it has now been open sourced and looks like it has a flatpak available) a look as interesting alternatives.

    A local database with a command line interface? (sqlite?)
  • Joplin is a note taking app that stores its data in an sqlite database (easy to query but not a good idea to write to it) but there is also a command line version and both versions support access via a data API.

    While a smaller release this time around, v1.119.0 still manages to pack a punch.

    For macOS, we've gone to great lengths to ensure Pulsar should build just fine on macOS 13+, while our Linux users get greater compatibility for DevTools on various platforms. For our programmers, there's been more of the constant incremental improvements to various languages' built-in syntax highlighting and code folding this time around, with a focus on PHP, Python, Javascript, Typescript, Shell script, and C.

    As always thanks a ton to all of those that support the project and keep it moving forward, we appreciate you all, and look forward to seeing you amongst the stars.

  • Just to clarify, the Pulsar devs aren't ex-Atom devs. Some of the team are from atom-community but none of the core Pulsar team were part of the official Atom team.

    Discussion: Do you donate financially to any OSS projects?
  • That is more than fair enough, as said, not trying to get you to donate or anything, especially if you already donate your time. Just hoping to put something out there that some of us really do take the donations seriously and we try to be as transparent as possible with everything, I just wish more projects would do that to shake some of the potential mistrust.

    Get your grills ready, Pulsar v1.118.0 is cooking with gas! With lots of love to syntax highlighting, along with a zesty sprinkling of features and fixes. We've got Tree-sitter fixes and improvements from query tests, better documentation of our Tree-sitter usage, an updated PHP parser, and loads of improvements to Clojure, there should be a little something for everyone. But of course feel free to dive into the changelog for further details.

    Last month was our biggest update to Pulsar we have had in quite a while, so in this blog we will be addressing some of the issues people have seen and what you can expect in terms of fixes and updates. Outside of that, we have some big changes to the Pulsar Package Registry backend that give (and document) a bunch of new filters and endpoints to the API, as well as a reminder for \@maurício szabo's blog post detailing our biggest hurdle: the road to modern versions of Electron.

    pulsar-edit.dev The quest for Electron LTS |

    A Community-led Hyper-Hackable Text Editor

    In the beginning, Atom appeared. It created an API to make packages, but together with this API, it also allowed authors to use web APIs together with node.js packages, modules (including "native modules" - more on that later) and, finally, a special API that was used to communicate between the "main module" and the "browser part".

    That last part, eventually, split from Atom and became Electron. And for a while, the Atom development was tied to the Electron one, meaning that an update on Atom usually meant an update on Electron, and vice-versa.

    Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for a long time...

    We’ve been telling a series of stories about all the different ways that Tree-sitter can improve the editing experience in Pulsar. Today’s story about symbols-view starts a bit slowly, but it’s got a great ending: the addition of a major new feature to Pulsar 1.113.

    pulsar-edit.dev Modern Tree-sitter, part 5: injections |

    A Community-led Hyper-Hackable Text Editor

    One annoying thing that software developers do is insist on writing in more than one language at once. Web developers are espeically obnoxious about this — routinely, for instance, putting CSS inside their HTML, or HTML inside their JavaScript, or CSS inside their HTML inside their JavaScript.

    Code editors like Pulsar need to roll with this, so today we’ll talk about how the modern Tree-sitter system handles what we call injections.

    Last time we looked at Tree-sitter’s query system and showed how it can be used to make a syntax highlighting engine in Pulsar. But syntax highlighting is simply the most visible of the various tasks that a language package performs.

    Today we’ll look at two other systems — indentation hinting and code folding — and I’ll explain how queries can be used to support each one.

    Last time I laid out the case for why we chose to embrace TextMate-style scope names, even in newer Tree-sitter grammars. I set a difficult challenge for Pulsar: make it so that a Tree-sitter grammar can do anything a TextMate grammar can do.

    Today, I'd like to show you the specific problems that we had to solve in order to pull that off.

    pulsar-edit.dev Modern Tree-sitter, part 2: why scopes matter |

    A Community-led Hyper-Hackable Text Editor

    In the last post, I tried to explain why the new Tree-sitter integration was worth writing about in the first place: because we needed to integrate it into a system defined by TextMate grammars, and we had to solve some challenging problems along the way.

    Today I’ll try to illustrate what that system looks like and why it’s important.

    The last few releases of Pulsar have been bragging about a feature that arguably isn’t even new: our experimental “modern” Tree-sitter implementation. You might’ve read that phrase a few times now without fully understanding what it means, and an explanation is long overdue.

    This is the first of a series of articles about Pulsar’s ongoing project to migrate its Tree-sitter implementation to a more modern version. Read this first installment now on the Pulsar Blog
