https://beuke.org/ A personal blog about computer science topics. I write a about category theory, llms, cosmology, haskell and generic linux releated topics.
Some favorites over the years:
- https://beuke.org/programming-language-popularity/ - GitHub Programming Language Popularity based on BigQuery
- https://beuke.org/arch-linux-archive/ - Arch Linux Date-Based Versioned Upgrades
- https://beuke.org/boltzmann-brains/ - The Ultimate Fate of the Universe

You would love Xterm then, still has the least latency of any terminal. (/s only half joking )

I think it is best just to provide the mathematical definition, provide the commutative diagrams that explains the concept graphically and then provide an example for computer scientists in Haskell: https://beuke.org/monad/

Here is something like that https://beuke.org/hn-ai-coverage/

I recently did a total cost of ownership analysis for moving off AWS to Hetzner: https://beuke.org/hetzner-aws/

I can't think of a more bloated way to communicate than putting a browser in the middle. For some quick numbers, compare web browser input latency to terminal [0] where one might run an IRC client. Even emacs [1,2] is fast and light in comparison.

See https://beuke.org/terminal-latency/. Single-digit milliseconds I’d say. These numbers are minus the keyboard and display latency.

Still slower than alacritty according to https://beuke.org/terminal-latency/
Also not really cross-platform, contrary to what's indicated in the first word of its github description, and the owner is kind of an ass about it https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/6481.

You don't need X11 by the way. It's possible to render PDFs with wkhtmltopdf + qt patches without Xorg.[0]
