This Website is Served from Nine Neovim Buffers on My Old ThinkPad TL;DR: I wrote a Neovim plugin in Lua that serves HTTP requests from open buffers. It has no external dependencies, it has first-class support for serving content in Djot, and it is faster than Nginx so it won’t be a performance bottleneck behind a reverse proxy. What’s not to like? There is that famous story from the 1990s about the man who was a Lisper but could not afford any of the commercial Lisps, so he deployed message r

SystemD Service Hardening

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-20 17:57:47

Controversy aside, systemd provides us a very complete, robust method of controlling services (amongst a multitude of other Linux things).

Robin Lakoff, expert on language and gender, dead at 82

news.ycombinator.com Trip Gabriel 2025-12-20 14:42:20

Dr. Lakoff’s thesis that women are raised to accept a secondary role in the world, one enforced partly by the speech they are taught, sets off academic arguments to this day. Her 1973 paper “created a huge fuss,” the linguists Penelope Eckert and Sally McConnell-Ginet wrote in 2012. “Thus was launched the study of language and gender.” Dr. Lakoff observed that women’s speech was marked by hedging phrases (“like,” “y’know”), which convey that the speaker is uncertain; empty adjectives like “ado

The Raft Consensus Algorithm (2015)

What is Raft? Raft is a consensus algorithm that is designed to be easy to understand. It's equivalent to Paxos in fault-tolerance and performance. The difference is that it's decomposed into relatively independent subproblems, and it cleanly addresses all major pieces needed for practical systems. We hope Raft will make consensus available to a wider audience, and that this wider audience will be able to develop a variety of higher quality consensus-based systems than are available today. Hol
