Merlin: Project wide occurrences
I am very excited to announce the first release of Merlin and Ocaml-LSP with support for project-wide occurrences 🥳. More precisely, it is now possible to query for every usage of any value (and type, modules, etc.) anywhere in a project built with Dune. This is a very handy tool for code navigatio...

Can't confirm that. In the 90s encodings were a nightmare. ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, CP1252, IBM850, ... If you tried to build a website with an upload form, you'd get the most bizarre encodings and there was no way to reliably distinguish them. I'm not an English native, my world is full of umlauts and s-z ligatures. Things got A LOT better in the last years, thanks to Unicode encodings.
These errors were much more common before Unicode encodings were in broad use. Unicode pretty much solved this.
The OCaml 5 update brought much-anticipated support for programming on multiple cores. It also introduced support for concurrency via effect…

I'm not partial to the martial
Or the plutocrats, in their beaver hats
And the fascists have the outfits
But I don't care for the outfits
What I care about is music
And the communists have the music
You are welcome. I started using remind in 2005 and it has been my dependable and powerful companion ever since. This software is a piece of art. The same is true for wyrd, which is rock solid and blazing fast.
I just wrote down simplified versions of my scripts. Then I clicked the wrong button to exit the markdown preview and now it's all gone. I'll have to drink a beer now, sorry. If you have any specific questions, I'll answer them gladly.
I use RSS to watch YouTube videos. I collect the ULRs of the videos I want to watch in a text file using my feed reader (Newsboat). In the evening a script transfers the file to my TV computer and fetches the videos with yt-dlp.
To play the videos I use another script, which plays and then trashes the video files in a loop.
Pros: no ads, no buffering videos during playback, plays videos without interaction (like TV), can collect video URLs over day, don't have to bother with YouTube's user interface, cookies etc.
