• Show HN: Hancho – A simple and pleasant build system in ~500 lines of Python

  Whenever looking at one these, I think back to the obscure but interesting "tup": “How is it so awesome? In a typical build system, the dependency arrows go down. Although this is the way they would naturally go due to gravity, it is unfortunately also where the enemy's gate is. This makes it very inefficient and unfriendly. In tup, the arrows go up.” https://gittup.org/tup/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Mazzle – A Pipelines as Code Tool

  Once upon a time, you could roll your own of this using `tup` which might have my favorite "how it works" in the readme: How is it so awesome? In a typical build system, the dependency arrows go down. Although this is the way they would naturally go due to gravity, it is unfortunately also where the enemy's gate is. This makes it very inefficient and unfriendly. In tup, the arrows go up. This is... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• What should I use to take notes in college?

  Ten years ago, I used reStructuredText and its support for LaTeX math and syntax highlighting. I used tup (tup monitor -a -f) to take care of running rst2html on save. Source: 11 months ago

• Knit: Making a Better Make

  The dependency resolution is core to https://gittup.org/tup/ which had been adopted a bit at the time it came out but since faded back into obscurity. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Buck2: Our open source build system

  I might be showing my ignorance here, but this just sounds like Tup? https://gittup.org/tup/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Has Anyone Trained a personal LLM using their personal notes?

  - or to visualize and use it as a personal partner. There's already a ton of open-source UIs such as Chatbot-ui[3] and Reor[4]. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Personally, I haven't been consistent enough through the years in note-taking. So, I'm really curious to learn more about those of you who were and implemented such pipelines. I'm sure there's a ton of really fascinating experiences. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file

  Obligatory reference to Emacs Org-Mode [1]. Author's approach is basically Org-Mode with fewer helpers. Org-mode's power is that, at core, it's just a text file, with gradual augmentation. Then again, Org-Mode is a tool you must install, accessible through a limited list of clients (Emacs obviously, but also VSCode), and the power of OP's approach is that it requires no external tools.

• Show HN: Heynote – A Dedicated Scratchpad for Developers

  This reminds me a lot of [Org Mode](https://orgmode.org/). Do you have plans to add other org-like features, like evaluating code blocks? I don't personally see myself moving away from org-mode, but it would be nice to have something to recommend to people who are reluctant to use emacs, even if it's only for a single application. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• How to combine daily journal with general database of people, places, things, etc.

  If you want to spare a couple of detours, you probably could start with Emacs Org-mode according to Greenspun's eleventh rule: "Any sufficiently complicated PIM or note-taking program contains an ad hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Org mode.".

• Ask HN: Local Wysiwyg HTML Editor for Mac

  Wow, no one has recommended Org mode (https://orgmode.org). I started using Emacs nearly 20 years ago specifically because of Org. I use Org for all my static sites, note taking, to-do lists and calendar. Org has a lightweight markup language that has far more features than Markdown (e.g., plain text spreadsheets!), but the markup isn't visible to the extent that Markdown is in most editors. Emacs with Org files... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
