This.

"Singleton" sounds like a good word here (though I've never heard it used in that context)

The problem is: this is absolutely not true in the real world.

A shameless plug, but you may also like Quod Libet[1]. Although not for everyone, it has very advanced searching and the more unusual integrations and features all implemented as p…

This Elm brought back joy and longevity for side projects to front-end for me (that had been ground down by the JS ecosystem sadly)

I'm on my second home of full Z-wave (mostly Fibaro, pricey but would recommend) and though smaller this isn't my experience at all. No it's not perfect but agree with others that …

> We use Stack together with Nix to pin all dependencies. That works very well. Could you elaborate on the path you took here? Sounds interesting

Lol, so just like Twitter then

IMO it's because they've done very smart pivots / rebranding (VSCode, Github, NPM, even the Surfaces) and people who even know start thinking "new Microsoft"

Nice! Have signed up and will play. What would work for me especially is some kind of API, so we could integrate it into, say, music players...

Agh so good but so annoying :)

Whilst I like the look of Cue... this argument reminds me of the Kubernetes trap ( We should use it... because Google does it and they're huuuuuuuge don't you know etc )

Thanks for the link Side note: makes me sad when even open-source tools for Gitlab are hosted... on Github...

Oh God, are we still discussing 10x programmers? Please let's not.

Wow this left me a bit depressed. Are there any good third-party review systems out there then?

But do we really think that learning (current) Photoshop etc will have any relevance to them being successful in say 5-20 years? (if the graphic design world even exists by then)

Yes.. but are we really saying that people can install Windows and ride off into the sunset? IME there are always people who "get stuck" with their computer or end up in "nuke from…

I disagree. Which "Linux" are you even talking about? (it's not the Kernel that's relevant here of course)

Reaper on Linux is really quite impressive IMO

Yes this. I feel people avoid it because of inertia, but I've started using it by default now, and typically only adds a few lines of code. (old) batteries included etc etc There's…

A new take on the data processing maxim of "garbage in, garbage out"?

TIL about JPEG XL itself, looks pretty cool. Thanks!
