This what I call peasant metabolism.

I have not but I’ll look. 90% of my computer use these days is laptop on my actual lap so I don’t have a real need. But there is a definite want!

A couple of years on Mounjaro here. Huge QOL benefits for me. I’m on it for diabetes but enjoy the weight loss benefits. I’ve read some articles saying that these meds are like the…

At the risk of dating myself, I’m still looking for a keyboard as good feeling as this.

Different platform but the simplest mainframe utility IEFBR14, a noop process to trigger JCL events started as one instruction. Then two. Then debate started about which machine in…

I've been struggling with this lately. My defaults are either 65 (8 1/2 wide paper, 6 1/2 text, leaves an inch either side for notes and hole punch), 72 (usable card image width), …

Obvious to whom? We don’t all know everything. Also, rolling your own can be an interesting learning exercise.

Being both inspiring and unsettling to me says he did the job well. I will remember him as the smiling Pope.

Very cool. But so many of us paid not enough attention to the details. Only two of the people in my first shop attempted channel programming.

So the AI trained on Stack Overflow and Reddit and learned to say “Do your own homework”. I don’t see a problem.

Ignorant. When I learned COBOL, which would have been contemporary to many of the original systems, data types were numbers of various formats, characters, primitive fixed length s…

Oh come on! Let my people curse! Minority Report meets New Speak…

I find this to be a very reasonable license. Cost is low but provides an ongoing revenue source. I like free or perpetual licensing as much as the next guy, but us programmers gott…

I’d like to think Trek watchers are smarter than that.

I certainly did not intend to ignite any flamewar. IMO both Emacs and (Neo)Vi(m) are fine editors. I wish more people would accept other people's right to have a personal preferenc…

I'm familiar with Visual Studio (in my professional persona) and Code. Too many dials and knobs and displays. Telemetry is not a huge issue for me, but I understand why it bothers …

Bram's passing and the split into basically two code bases (Vim, Neovim) and three customization languages pushed me over to Emacs. I switched back and forth for years, as many oth…

We should be so lucky

As being able to use a language to write an editor is a personal must-have in a language, your mention of kilo caught my eye. I did a quick read through of the Odin overview and FA…

I like the generator with the exception of hyphens. Many sites don’t allow them or treat them as a special character. Unfortunately there is no longer any way that I’ve found to tw…

Amen. If I can’t read it I’m not likely to watch a video about it.

Performance art maybe?

I'm using https://github.com/include-what-you-use/include-what-you-use in preference over clang-tidy.

I suspect it's the same appeal as woodworking or hor rodding or living history reenactment.

Sadly we still live in times where "superstition was the primary sensemaking tool for causality — an organizing principle for life".
