I was a big myst fan but I don't have a copy that can play on the latest hardware, when I saw The Myst and Riven Complete Collection 2025 I knew I have to get it

there will be htmx 4: htmx ~ The fetch()ening

I probably will stick with htmx 2 because of laziness

been using code-server for a week, the main reason is I can open it from my desktop app using iframe

it's really good, no major issues. can't run copilot but that's also ok.

I hope that I can run emacs on my desktop app, but I have a text editing frame using Ymacs

the terminal of the future, people mentioning acme editor

watched A Tour of the Acme Editor again, I think that ui is good for note-taking

I really hate yaml, I'm experimenting jsonnet to yaml conversions, but still long way to go

reading The Essence of Software, there're some short guides too

cool show case for tui apps: App Showcase | Ratatui

good reads:

for use of AI, I switched back to chat mode for couple weeks now. I don't find agent/copilot editing useful anymore, it's slow and needs much more efforts to clean up

chat mode is easier to isolate the problem and AI gave good useful answers most of the time, more importantly, it frees me from using vscode (or any editor with llm capacity)

when working on my desktop webapp, I want to use image to frame my windows, gemini suggested border-image-slice which is super easy to do

another one is I need a 2 rows buttons in flex wrap layout, but I want it shrink as much as possible, gemini suggested inline-grid, force 2 rows and fill items vertically, problem solved

for my vs code frustrations, it suggested Awesome Emacs Keymap

Setting secrets in env vars is always a headache, I just wanted to see is there any new good ways to handle it in the discussion, but nothing

trying these two for simple diagram, they're both can be run locally:

Unison 1.0 is here!, I heard about it from Dave Thomas book simplicity

clojure related:

this one is so cool, I really want to try it: You Can Now Make PS2 Games in JavaScript
