This is the dream. Vim for text manipulation, surrounded by a legit IDE.

Lifesaver! Without this, error handling in bash functions is a gigantic, unintuitive pain. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I don't "enforce" this but I do aim for it, and yes, I do partial squashing throughout my workday. As I work on a feature branch, I'll check in WIP commits as checkpoints, especial…

Yeah code folding works for the visual scrub, but it's the "search within" feature that's missing. An example of my common use case is digging through a Bosh manifest file for a re…

I'm working with a 12k-line YML file with lots of sub-trees right now, and let me tell you, it's a gigantic pain in the butt. If it were JSON, I could navigate within a subtree by …

Digital Foundry's initial analysis mostly bears this claim out. They found FPS increases of between 160-190% for a bunch of recent games featuring both RTX/traditional rendering, a…

I think the odd violent thought is to some extent normal. They certainly occur to me (tho I make no broader claim to my normalcy). Of course, if they're causing you anxiety, you fi…

Reminds me of NYC's old Moving Day, when every lease in the city expired on May 1, 9:00am. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Day_(New_York_City)

For me, the cost/benefit ratio of cell phones far exceeds that of Alexa/Google Assistant/etc. Also, there's a well-established framework of laws governing under what conditions and…

Does this suggest that a larger ring would be more stable because the bond angles would be more obtuse?
