I've been learning some Common Lisp by writing some simple JSON munging programs. I'm sure it's not best practice — I should probably deserialise to CLOS automatically — but it's a nice way to get comfortable with the basics. It feels weird deliberately ignoring helpers though.

Reading the beta 4 release notes for Haiku R1, it's striking how much work it is to support modern WiFi protocols: https://www.haiku-os.org/get-haiku/r1beta4/release-notes/ Previously, 802.11ac was only supported on Linux and OpenBSD! (Ignoring proprietary operating systems)

@krinkle@mastodon.technology I don't know of anyone using difftastic by default, including me! (I use it >50% of the time though.) I toyed with background colours but I didn't find anything that I really liked. Contrast is hard, and depends on the user's theme. Background colours look bad with syntax highlighting (e.g. red background with blue comment text). It also looked silly due to ignoring whitespace between symbols. It's an interesting space and I'm still experimenting :)
