That used to be the case, and I loved the empty feed. But, i noticed that it started showing me the default feed of all the AI slop people post which linkedin thinks is relevant to…

Yeah i think you have a valid point. I did have this issue come up where i was trying to vectorize an indexed png and no amount of playing with different engines and settings gave …

I feel people who like this type of blogs and want to try something like a static website would love Styluslabs’ Write https://www.styluslabs.com/ Handwriting is better as SVG if y…

Thanks for taking the initiative to create this page! I was disappointed with the search feature github had regarding searching these type of files. Here are some more such tools I…

Not sure how long it will survive, but opening it in a private browser tab helped. Also, funny enough that this pissed me off so much, that I started asking LLM to search for somet…

Fair enough that I did not mention any timeline. And could’ve been general with “VCS”. And you are absolutely correct, that basics of some of these tools can be learnt in an aftern…

Any experience with ‘programmers’ not knowing git?

My first thought as well! Even glancing through their website I don’t see an FAQ section or even a section just answering what value addition it brings over pandoc?

Not sure if this completely helps with the full setup aspect, however, I got introduced to secure enclave when i was researching a git app for iOS. The following app has, as one of…

Really surprised that this is not the first thing everyone does on their repositories. I am not a celebrity on github and not even agents bother with my repositories, however, even…

Locked behind a login screen. Maybe its for the best.

Oh my god! I hate using anything that is not my keyboard anymore. Laptops are not ‘lap’tops for me since I will just be slow without my keyboard. The split keyboard with many thumb…

Small note: You need admin privileges only once for the first install which creates a new user `linuxbrew` and everything is based around `/home/linuxbrew` prefix. The issue is on …

Yes. I daily drive pop os now. Hate to use flatpak for anything. Only install core packages, google chrome and vscode using apt. Almost everything else is installed using homebrew.…

Yeah I tried nix about 8 months ago. Not really as simple as homebrew. Even the detereminate nix tutorial though nice felt too much of a hassle. I feel homebrew really is a nice in…

No, it is an advantage. I am not a rust evangelist, I am not a rust programmer or programmer at all; however while evaluating tools to use, anything written in Rust and Go at-least…

Just curious, any reason to prefer using age (you mentioned that you would prefer it if starting over), over something like keepass? I am currently using keepass-cli and only reaso…

Okay. Here is a pattern i follow everywhere in my init files for almost every program. Define two key env vars. $DOTFILES and $ECORP. The first is path to your personal set of dotf…

Glad to run into this after some time! I guess we are welcoming the software people to the world of expensive tools. Just sad that the FOSS alternatives of these tools are not as p…

Haha. I spent a significant amount of time getting vim keybinds everywhere, and eventually had to make exceptions for certain software. But, I had my share of making exceptions I g…

Yeah same here. Isn’t it weird, thet i used to be a lot more excited about space travel however, as I grow older I am excited about things more closer to me. Still curious, but foc…

Not frequently, however in experimental phase where you need to debug if any specific combination of patch is causing issues, it helps a lot. For instance, I had issues with my del…

Ohh yes, a minority of us do exist. I prefer it over appimages on my personal pc. Gets you almost rolling release software without needing to use a rolling release. I used to use d…

Ohh acquired taste it is.. I had two stints with suckless software. First, when i was in early twenties when I had a lot of time in the world, and thought the manliest way to talk …

I like the very idea of tree sitter and even listening to the first talk video by the creator was interesting. However, it has been big barrier for me to write grammar for it for a…
