It also supports proxies which is important to some corporate back-end scenarios

Really excited about this! At least in Sublime Text I've found multiple cursors a really powerful tool for ad-hoc transformations on snippets of semi-structured text or instantly a…

Please recommend a troubadour who knows the Neat Records, Guardian Records n' Tapes and Heavy Metal Records singles catalogues and I'm sold :)

The comment was especially about TypeScript. Unlike the ancient JavaScript versions best used for web sugar you're possibly thinking of, it's a highly pragmatic and well designed g…

This is what I've done in those rare cases I've had to fix a bug in a tool or a library I've used professionally. I've also made sure to do that using online identities with no con…

Developer-specific sandbox environments with hot code reload is the golden standard here but Localstack is great if you can't do that due to (usually IT deparment-related, not tech…

As someone with years of experience on serverless stuff on AWS I might be a bit biased BUT I'd argue serverless is the sweet spot for most applications. You need to remember howeve…

The 4.x series was the one where the ideas still making Plasma so powerful were seeded. While I loved KDE 3 the design for 4 seemed revolutionary. Too bad it was alpha/beta quality…

Smartphones?

In a sense the simplicity of SLS is a trap: immediately when you need to move past the synchronous lambda invocations via API GW use case (caching, service integrations, step funct…

In an AWS scenario I can think of: Pro vs pulumi: you get a declarative template to debug and review Pro vs CDK: The declarative template is applied via APIs instead of CloudFormat…

KRunner [1] on Plasma is pretty awesome. Plenty of plugins available [2] and it's also very useful out of the box on most distributions. [1] https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Krunner…

I loved the folder view! It really highlighted the shift to a modular design in Plasma and solved the problem of desktop eventually ending up as a garbage dump of stuff that at som…

Overload is awesome! However I wonder if some remnants of 90s game design like tight time limits and repeating enemy ambushes that make the game such a familiar and intense experie…

The only Windows box I have is an AMD-based gaming rig and last time I checked the hardware isn't Windows 11 compatible. Time to check out how the gaming experience on Linux is the…

It would be awesome to see Git becoming decentralized again but what's the likelihood of GitHub implementing this?

My current primary workstation is very low spec and old compared to a M2 Mac. On that machine Sublime Text is very performant and provides an awesome code writing experience throug…

The CoC doesn't ban supporters of specific political agenda or party line but it is a banned topic. Anyone who's been on the internet in the past few years knows how passionate the…

If they wanted non-sanctioned editors integrating Copilot they wouldn't have taken the extra steps of implementing an obfuscated LSP but provided an API or a plain client library. …

It's interesting that the #2 selling point on the landing page (the Copilot integration) relies purely on Microsoft's goodwill. There is no official API for Copilot but instead a (…

It's a sad world when a thoughtful, well-structured, obviously experience-based and informative comment is immediately assumed to be word guessing machine generated garbage.

This is very disappointing after migrating to Insomnia from Postman a couple of months ago. I did the migration even when my company provides Postman licenses for the employees bec…
