I don’t understand this. Why would you take a commonly used vowel off of the home row and put it where you have to shift your whole hand to get to it? What am I missing?

This just in: intentionally misrepresenting something has a 100% chance of it being misrepresented.
Let’s try again:
Prioritize Primal. It is a truly unique and awesome show.
Maybe it’s in the thread or something? I don’t know.
I think Musk is maybe the biggest tool of them all and I enjoy a chance to insult him as much as the next guy, but I’m confused about this one.
This is the way
Rails is great for starting an app, you can get something to a functional MVP state in a ridiculously small amount of time. We used to do rapid prototyping where we could be shipping it to the client in like 2-4 weeks. I haven’t found anything that comes close to this elsewhere.
But you’re right that the big trade off is jumping off is effectively impossible, because Rails is your app. Most criticism that I see (and feel is valid) is that unless you’re willing to do a whole rewrite you will be on Rails forever. I think this is a more reasonable trade off than I see represented online; “long terms Rails is a nightmare” comes up a lot and I don’t think it’s that bad.
I personally like that we’re seeing options for both strategies here popping up. More options is good for us as devs.
I remember learning about how to use this back in the day and what a game changer it was for my workflow.
Today I like to do all of the commits as I’m working. Maybe dozens or more as I chug along, marking off waypoints rather than logging actual changes. When I’m done a quick interactive rebase cleans up the history to meaningful commits quite nicely.
The fun part is that I will work with people sometimes who both swear that “rewriting history” is evil and should never be done, but also tell me how useful my commit logs are and want to know how I take such good notes as I go.
I’m all in on helix, it has replaced emacs and vim for me quite handily.
Cue surf rock guitar solo
I use a sub-40% layout that I love. I wrote all about it here: https://natecox.dev/lets-talk-about-keyboards
I’m a nix user and I’m disappointed by how apt this comparison is.
God damn it.
I am a paying subscriber to Kagi because the search results are excellent and there are no ads, so of course you show me a thread on “we should maybe add a small message to suicidal users telling them there is help for them” which then reads like a truth-social propaganda thread, filled to the brim with “helping people is a slippery slope!!! muh freedoms!!” arguments.
I kinda thought that was the way to go as well, but I need to find one that supports my giant troll hands. The ones I’ve tried in the past were too short I think so my hand ended up just on my desk at a weird angle.
The biggest difference between Nix and Guix is that Guix doesn’t support non-foss software, meaning you can’t use it as a package manager on other operating systems. I originally wanted to use Guix but use a Mac for work, so that became a deal breaker.
Nix is pretty awesome as a package manager, I’ve been happy with it after the truly unnecessary learning curve brutality. I do not imagine I would ever use the full OS though.
I have such mixed feelings about my Ergo, I really want to like it but I feel clumsy on it and it seems like the extra strain on my thumb will take a toll long term with that repetitive stress.
You don’t even need to quality it. Some people just feel the need to tear down others to make themselves feel good. It’s low self-esteem, misplaced onto whatever happens to be near them.
I think we’re all vulnerable to it, too. Part of being a good neighbor is checking yourself to see if you’re being a dick about your preferences, and just letting people enjoy what they enjoy (unless that thing is harming others; you know, common sense).
I don’t understand the complaint here. It sounds like the complaint is that there is a single source for libraries… but the solution provided is “use apt-get”.
Today, I refuse to use any language that doesn’t ship with a dependency resolver like crates or rubygems. Python taught me that I really want dependencies to be a first class citizen.
I thought lack of plugins was going to be a deal breaker and now I’m kind of on the “do we really need plugins at all” side.
Helix out of the box is really nice.
MUDding taught me programming and Regex in a very real and useful way.
It also contributed to a gaming addiction that took years to break, so food for thought I guess.
That makes total sense lol
