I've used `keyd` in the past and found it to be very fast and good. I have moved to `xremap` since, as an Emacs user being able to do this https://github.com/xremap/xremap/blob/mas…

I use Emacs but these days I spend so much time in the terminal that I'm seriously thinking going back to (N)Vim + Tmux combo. Emacs just feels so slow and complex when you are SSH…

For those souls loosing their skills to the easiest to adopt technology ever created... agentic development works for him because he KNOWS what he is doing in the first place!

I think the website is weird to navigate. "Next" links go to top-level headers instead of the "logical" next. For example, if I'm on "1.1 Fset Tutorial" clicking "Next" takes me to…

Isn't this going to be stale in a week? Can you just tell Calude Code to generate a cheat sheet of itself?

That article reads like a 5 years old wrote it. In particular the part that says "software-defined vehicles is sweeping the automobile industry" and going further by saying "this i…

Exactly my thought! I guess I'll keep Firefox for the foreseeable future...

> We’ve been searching for a memory-safe programming language to replace C++ in Ladybird for a while now. The article fails to explain why. What problems (besides the obvious) have…

Why is it hard in the times where AI itself can do it to add a light mode to those blacks websites!? There are people that just can't read dark mode!

This are all valid points and a hype-free pragmatic take, I've been wondering about the same things even when I'm still in the skeptics side. I think there are other things that sh…

It seems to me that Zig is a language that has been hacked together as opposed to designed carefully. What a mess around such a simple concept!

The only reason I have started to use `eww` in Emacs to "read the web" is because people pushing those amounts of dark on everybody, it has become unbearable!

Yes, but isn't that an implementation detail? Shouldn't they prioritize getting to 1.0 (the language itself) and then work in implementation details like that? I mean, It's a monum…

Well, I use C++ for that today and don't see much benefit in switching really. Switching to a memory-safe language is something that I can support and even sell to my team, but swi…

I kind of agree but my main language is actually C++ (I know, don't hate me) and, wherever C is a target I just use C++ :)

What does incremental compilation have to do with writing your own compiler from scratch? Isn't Rust supports incremental compilation as does every language out there?

I've been trying to understand what Zig place is in the world so I can learn more about it. I like the idea of simplicity in programming languages but, other than that and since th…

While other communities are already taking direct steps towards safety, the C++ community is still trying to define what safety means. I think it's funny and sad at the same time! …

I agree about devcontainers. Now you are pushing everyone in the team to use vscode which is bad on its own. I think docker is fine, but I mostly try to stay away from any project …

Not The Pragmatic Programmer :(

My essential Firefox fix is Brave these days.
