Did you generate the list using an LLM?

I was inspired by https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.24758 and collated their assessment into a table and then just kept adding databases :)

Claude helped a lot but it's all reviewed and curated by me.

I even remember the times he was not vintage yet, but the real thing. Maybe even watched his famous fight scene with Bruce Lee on the cheap cinemas back in the day. Good days. RIP .

I dont know what the deal is with these editors that makes them on HN front page so frequently. In my opinion they are good text editors (used emacs for 4 years, and switched to vim nearly 10 years ago) but for coding I see them as a joke apart from some edge cases(clojure, lisp...). They are hard to setup as code editors, lots of customizations are needed and in my opinion it does not pay off.

Skynet will be pissed at HN!

RIP Robert M.Pirsig.

Oof, I haven't finished Zen yet. I didn't know he was gone. RIP

Sometimes the style is the substance. There is a reason people study rhetoric.

That's not substance. That's style being all there is, trying desperately to cover up the lack of substance. Rhetoric works best when it gives wings to strong ideas, not when it tries to fly by itself.

And that should be anathema to discussions rooted in reason.

Glad that I am using Firefox with:

- uBlock Origin

- cookieAutodelete

- privacy badger

Any additions to my arsenal welcome!

Ironfox/Librewolf with just uBlock. The more extensions you have the way easier you are to fingerprint.

None of this matters if you're literally sending sensitive data to someone else's server.

That is a risk I can calculate and take. The trackers are sth else.

Excellent, maybe an addition for protection from display burn-in would be nice. I dont know. Congrats.

Burn-in is sure possible, I will look possibilities maybe move clock little bit etc. Thank you for you comment!

Why they go this route is beyond me :)

Ah. It must be the everything can run X thing.
