• [Media] shrs: a shell that is configurable and extensible in rust

  Hey everyone 👋 ! I'm currently working on a rust library for building and configuring your own shell! It's inspired by projects like xmonad and penrose where the configuration of the program is done in code. This means that for example, instead of using Bash's arcane syntax for configuring the prompt, it can be configured instead using a rust builder pattern! The project itself is still at a very young stage, so... Source: 12 months ago

• What LaTeX setup do you use?

  There are a few other things I could mention, but there are more like side issues, and not relevant to my actual LaTeX setup. First and foremost—and thus perhaps noteworthy after all—is bibliography management with arxiv-citation (see here for more words). This is integrated very well with the XMonad window manager, which makes it even more of a joy to use. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to map arrows keys to CapsLock+(h,i,j,k) shortcuts in i3

  Another way to do it (and works on Linux and other platforms) is with XMonad, defining Caps Lock as a layer key. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can ISTP like abstract things and theories?

  I tried it once, it was alright. https://xmonad.org/ But I prefer to build my own. Source: almost 2 years ago

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

  This is sort of the suckless approach. Most (all?) of their projects are customized by editing the source and recompiling. From their window manager, dwm: dwm is customized through editing its source code, which makes it extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which isn't known at compile time, except window titles and status text read from the root window's name. You don't have to learn... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  > Their philosophy[1] says nothing of the sort Their philosophy doesn't, but their page for dwm[0] does :D "Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. There are some distributions that provide binary packages though."

• Introduction

  I was looking for a minimal linux distribution that is light on resources, and I found one called Metis Linux, which is based on Artix. The interesting part of metis is that it wasn't using a desktop environment, but a windows manager called dwm. At the time, metis linux had a minimal bash script installer via chroot. This took longer to setup, but I had a better understanding of what the setup involved rather... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Hi guys I am new to linux and want to install gentoo ok i tried many distrues before so how can i make gentoo look like this? a windows telling manager?

  The window manager in this screenshot is DWM in floating mode (https://dwm.suckless.org) with a lot of patches and a compositor (to make DWM support transparency). And the terminal is st with some patches. Both should be compiled from source manually. And both are configured in C. Source: 11 months ago

• I Have a Dirty Secret. I’m a Software Craftsman

  In my programs there's usually a core insight or mental model that makes the code simple and straightforward to understand. What does someone need to have in their mind to understand this program? Then time happens and then the code is adapted and refactored and more features are added, then the original gem of mental model is hidden by hundreds of files and the algorithm is split into 10s of files for the little... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
