    I don't think Godot's cli is exactly the same thing as this. Godot's cli allows you to start Godot, do some command, and exit. This allows you to do operations on a running instanc…

    I'm curious what your operational costs are and how we can help. I don't see a donation link anywhere.

    Best for: anything but real-time chat, really. Maybe the best way to think of Discourse is as an anti-Discord. It's everything Discord isn't: asynchronous, open source, and self-ho…

    I don't think Adams is talking about how reluctant the hero is but about failure and misfortune. Frodo definitely doesn't want to be there but he is far from being a failure. He sa…

    I'm a Neovim user but I have to agree with the recommendation. If you've wanted to check out vim/emacs but were nervous Helix is a good place to start. I do wish there was at least…

    No one is writing 10,000 lines of code every day nor should they be.

    This seems like a tough sell when Phoenix is already so good. I'm struggling to see why I'd use this over that.
