Not for Windows


Bruno slowly changed the policy from "we are all free" to "we are mostly free" to "pay for feature A, B, C"

Understandable, but feals like being tricked into something.


this is (at least) the third time we've seen this in this exact space: Postman, Insomnia, Bruno.

At this point I just use the REST client extension in VS Code (Rider has one too) or HURL. The lack of GUI makes it a little tougher for new people, but file-based is nice, and in the end I have much stronger skills & understanding in the area.


They explicitly sold themselves as an Insomnia alt.

Here is their usage graph: https://star-history.com/#usebruno/bruno&Date

Insomnia introduced account shenanigans around the end of Sept 23: https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/discussions/6590


The features you pay for are just GUI features. All of the things are still accessible in the terminal or IDE.


For those wondering what happened in 2019:

> In 2019, a series of attacks on the download counter – no data is collected other than the click on the DOWNLOAD button – led to a barely credible increase


Even more impressive is the lecture of the life of Cardano himself.


Not true for two reasons! Azure data center in europe is fine if thr data stays there and generally there is the EU-US Data Privacy Framework https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU%E2%80%93US_Data_Privacy_F...



a lot of memories !


Latest release is of February. Has progress been made?


It is clear from the commit history that the project is active and work on it continues.


I’m running that February release as my daily driver on MacOS happily. Haven’t launched Emacs except by accident for a few weeks. I admit it’s an experiment but so far so good.

Lem always feels very responsive (threading or rendering architecture, I assume) and my meagre needs for Emacs keystrokes seem supported. One thing I’d love to see Lem support soon, though, is org-mode awareness.


I think that releasing is the run git tag, writing a ChangeLog from the previous version, and pushing to GitHub, but I don't think that this act has much meaning.

I think binary files that can be executed by just clicking on them are valuable, but they can be done independently of releases. It's very difficult to make them work on a machine other than your own using sbcl, so I haven't been able to do it continuously.


But when I think back on it, the act of releasing also shows that the software is still alive, so I want to release it


Lua as a language is underrated, yes. Lua as the implementatation of PUC Rio is what it is. It misses abstractions in the runtime to make it pre-emptive and parallel. It is also somewhat telling that Mike Pall despite his come back announcement didn't deliver.

It comes with batteries but they only fitt into one brand well. Compare this to eg golang or Python.


And what us the number in Knocking on Heavens door, the Guns n'roses version?


659 8890

That one's just ordinary DTMF. I recorded the audio, trimmed it manually and then made a spectrogram like this:

    sox gun1.wav -n rate 4k spectrogram -m -y 500
The 'rate' switch is to cut down on how much of the frequency space we can see. I left the audio as stereo because there's less music power on one channel, making it easier to see the tones.

(And google finds quite a few pages confirming those digits)


659-8890. You just better start sniffin' your own rank subjugation Jack, 'cause it's just you against your tattered libido, the bank, and the mortician, forever man, and it wouldn't be luck if you could get out of life alive.
