Glad I'm not the only one who does this.

An old favorite. "How stupid can you get, animal?"

I really prefer to lock the version numbers instead: mise use -g somepackage --pin I can commit/rollback to known good versions. To upgrade: mise up -il Not so long ago, I was outs…

That is a valid point of view. For me, however, I have found a huge productivity boost being able to stay in Neovim for extended periods of time. That's not to say that my way is t…

On k8s/devops tooling: I'm building tuis.nvim [1] — Docker and Kubernetes management as Neovim buffer TUIs, built on morph.nvim [2], a react-like UI framework for Neovim. Stay in t…

I've been working on exactly this with morph.nvim [1] — a React-like component model (h(), component lifecycle, reconciliation, extmark-based styling) for building declarative TUIs…

So far, it's just a flash-banner on their `/code` page. I don't see any announcement other than folks mentioning that they are getting email announcements about its release.

Tommy Emmanuel apparently learned by transrcibing, famously thinking that both the bass line and guitar lines he was hearing were a singular "guitar part". Just by having his expec…

As others have said, the fact that they're letting the ecosystem settle before including something out-of-the box is beneficial in some sense. It's allowed time for experiments (in…

I assume that you've tried Termux and somehow that doesn't meet your needs? (Also, you didn't specify whether you are on Android/iOS)

Right? That's the only reason that "coding with LLMs" works at all (believe me, all at the same time, I am wowed by LLMs, and carry a healthy level of skepticism with respect to th…

We have been rewatching Clone Wars as a family, and I, for one, find this terminology hilarious given the use of it in the series towards the separatist droids.

This sounds like a really cool project. What challenges have you encountered so far?

I don't buy this. I've long wondered if the larger models, while exhibiting more useful knowledge, are not more wasteful as we greedily explore the frontier of "bigger is getting u…

Between GLM-4.7-Flash and this announcement, THIS is what I'm excited to see in this space: pushing the capabilities of _small_ models further and further. It really feels like we'…

Wow, I really want a slide rule watch now.

Just going to jump in here and say that there's another reason I might want Rust with a Garbage Collector: The language/type-system/LSP is really nice to work with. There have inde…

To be clear, I don't try to Nix-everything. I just use it to 1) install a bunch of CLI tools to my nix-env, and 2) dev-shells. That's pretty much it, though. Even that is a huge bo…

That's what I meant and didn't communicate well. I'm wishing for short-form syntax of lambdas, to be clear.

Yep, though I'm still trying to hit my stride recording videos. I don't release regularly because of lots of amazing $life things. https://www.youtube.com/@nocturing If you want a …

I'm actually trying to work on a video-series to do just this. I've made my own rudimentary plugins reproducing several popular ones, and would like to walk through how I made: a) …

I always wrote Lua off, scoffing at the 1-based indexing, until I was "forced" to learn it thanks to Neovim. What a delightful little language it is. I do wish I could do certain t…

Mise is a hard sell for me when I can have pure Nix-shells. However, I can see this gaining wider adoption since it's learning curve is so much lower than Nix.
