GitHub - kritoke/quickheadlines: An easily configurable and deployable recent feed dashboard An easily configurable and deployable recent feed dashboard - kritoke/quickheadlines

Been working on my first real project in Crystal past few weeks. Been a joy, haven’t felt this way since Ruby. Single executable feed web dashboard. Drop an yaml file and run the program, that’s it. Has tabs, autoloads as file changes, tracks source repos. #crystal-lang github.com/kritoke/quic...

Sylve is indeed impressive, Bhyvemgr is really looking interesting too. #FreeBSD sure is on an uptick with usable products. Their KDE installer in the next release is certainly going to make things even more interesting.

GHC 9.14.1-rc1 is now available. This includes an important fix which ensures compatibility with macOS 26 and later. This fix will be backported to GHC 9.12 and 9.10 in the coming months.

Happy Haskelling!

The Kickstarter is off to a great start!! It would be huge to reach the second stretch goal, including Rebar in OTP would get rid of the #1 problem people run into when getting started with Gleam and Erlang ⭐️

Deep in a cave, two people stand inside a vast underground space with a circular pattern in the cavern ceiling, far above them. A headline reads This Cave in Kentucky Was a Smelly Disaster. Now It’s Spectacular.

Deep in a cave, two people stand inside a vast underground space with a circular pattern in the cavern ceiling, far above them. A headline reads This Cave in Kentucky Was a Smelly Disaster. Now It’s Spectacular.

For generations, Horse Cave, Kentucky, smelled awful. Miles of caverns and waterways underneath the small town brimmed with sewage that sent a putrid stench up from the depths and across downtown. Then came an audacious vision, a bit of money and a lot of grit. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/c...

The Jubilee is an open source 3D printer toolchanger that deserves to be better known. The extruder's locking system is on the frame to save weight. The design is well thought, it uses quality hardware and the doc is impressive.
