Actually... I use my own keybindings which are more ergonomic twist of Emacs bindings. For example for moving char left I use C-d and to move word left I use C-S-d (control+shift+d…

No, I use Emacs keybindings in the rest of the tools. Tried to use vim bindings but they don't seem to do everything correctly or smoothly and it annoys me.

Friend... don't try to "switch". Just use multiple tools at the same time. I personally use all: Neovim (great writing/editing experimence, LSP+Treesitter+fzf allow you to get real…

So much content is sent to youtube these days. It's annoying I need to watch it linearly, watch ads, even with YT Premium you need to watch "sponsored parts". A bird's eye stenogra…

If your goal was to release some library with a website - you made it, congrats. Looks really nice to my eyes. However, as a developer, I want to see something else: 1. Example pro…

One more thing about iPad: I think it has the best on the market form factor, see pictures how magic keyboard elevates the iPad device which makes it's floating in the air a bit. I…

Until recently I owned both MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max and iPad Pro 12.9 with magic keyboard. I love MacBook Pro 16 for work either on desk with connected big display or on laptop stand…

The obvious solution is to use nor ORMs or raw SQL generated with various helpers in your language, but to open up DB engine to execute low level bytecode. Think: DB=GPU, SQL=GLSL,…

So there should be a different tool used which will intercept environment variables reads and will log them.

It would for env vars as well, why not? Just trace program trying to reach out for some var X from env.

I disagree it's responsibility of the tool. Program should just reach out for files and some higher order or meta runner should trace what the process does. One of the commenters m…

I've been trying to understand Vim recently. I can see how comfortable it can be to navigate codebases, keep fingers on home row. Of course by not using physical ESC but Ctrl+] or …

Thanks for becoming a mirror (although what happened was you wrote a "mirror" comment of my comment, not me), however I'm really interested in better tools. None of the tools I kno…

Why did you make it personal, let's focus on talking about things/ideas. I'm not even trying to comment your guess about what "target" I am.

You're defending n(vim)+plugins, not naked (n)vim and I agree it can be taken very far and can start to look like Emacs which integrates multiple external processes in single place…

I tried to understand what vim/nvim is all about and why people love it so I've learned it a little bit. I grasped the Zen of VIM , it's actually very comfortable to navigate files…

I think this is important: finish your project in bigger context where your project is a piece needed in higher level picture. Don't finish project just to finish it. This attitude…

I can't imagine using HN's default client, some people like it but it's not me. I'm using my custom built PWA app which I'm the only one user of and currently I'm not inclined to o…

How submodules should be done properly: 1) define somewhere in the repo that it's a "compound repo", a "workspace" etc - name is arbitrary, This is our repo "R", 2) for certain pat…

We could have amazing HTML/CSS performance if we had programmable "HTML to bitmap" caching. But: a) it's not secure if we can render HTML to bitmap and send over network, b) cache …

Here’s my quick and dirty prediction of what will happen with software in the future. The goal if this writeup is to collect feedback and spark discussion. Many of the statements c…

Programming can be thought as a medium similar to paper+pen or video, but it's interactive. Ask yourself then: "Is writing a 'young man's game'?". Of course not. Then the question …

JS is the best language for web - and generally for high level systems design - and honestly I don't know why people don't want to see it. Good parts of JS are: first class functio…
