Matthew finds deep distaste in his software engineering job but has no idea what to change. We'll all be there.

Parses HTML responses and rewrites a simplified light weight version.

Rewrite rules are written in lua using standard CSS selectors.

Numen is Free Software voice control that gives people with strain or limited
use of their hands full control of their Linux machine. The philosophy is
to keep it simple with phrases that work universally.

Lion Kimbro did the prototype. It still inspired me.

A classic rant on uxn and programming. Uxn is done for.

Uxn says it's about permacomputing and vintage computing, the author of the article says it's not and proves it.

The author insists on a relation to permacomputing. Their page on permacomputing describes frugal computing and salvage computing as principles of permacomputing, defining them as "utilizing computational resources as finite and precious, to be utilised only when necessary, and as effectively as possible", and "utilizing only already available computational resources, to be limited by that which is already produced." The author is part of a collective that wanted to replace all the "bloated" software they used, due to having little energy storage on their sailboat. Using software design techniques to reduce power usage, and to allow continued use of old computers is a good idea, but the uxn machine has quite the opposite effect, due to inefficient implementations and a poorly designed virtual machine, which does not lend itself to writing an efficient implementation easily.

Devine then mentioned it, and a discussion followed.

The suckless philosophy is all about keeping things simple, minimal and usable, but some people seem to have misunderstood it completely.

Rule of thumb: use POSIX shell.
