If you are curious about this, I recommend There’s No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America. It covers how some folks, with no credit, are forced to live in extended stay h…

I had an M1 Pro MacBook and I agree with you about not needing a new computer. However, it seems like things are at best going to be the same if not worse over the next 5 years wit…

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to come off as adversarial. I don’t feel like you have to get words exactly right to communicate. There’s lots of folks on hacker news and sometimes, for s…

I’m sure you can figure it out if you try. I maybe was overexpressive with “exclusive”, that was my mistake. Wrapping thoughts in words is lossy and generally making an effort to b…

You may be unfamiliar with the colloquialism. This one is exclusively for unreleased products. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_on_arrival#:~:text=In%20a...

I don’t know if it works for windows but on other operating systems if you hold shift while pasting it strips the special formatting. I don’t have a windows machine readily availab…

lol I also have had this experience. I played DnD to get to know people and after two years I realized I only knew their characters. Challenging.

Tell your friend to look up the Western Reaches style of play. One of the core ideas is that you begin and end each session in a safe zone so that you can have a rotating pool of a…

I didn’t see it mentioned in the comments so I guess I get to be the person to post the quote! > “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be” E…

I keep circling this with AI and I'm not really sure what to do with it. They mention that the AI is meant to be used as reference only in the linked article but what does that act…

If you don't feel like you need the extra bells and whistles don't worry about it. The great thing about org-mode is it _is_ just plain text and all the magic is in the interpretat…

Seems to be a problem with the gem website, consistently getting a 403 from some kind of GraphQL API. ETA: I wonder perhaps if the job posting is in some kind of pre-published stat…

I think GraphQL works its best magic when you are building your own unified data access layer for a backend. Your individual services can be backed by Postgres or Mongo or an in me…

I used it full time with Doom in a mix of typescript, JavaScript, ruby, and golang for a while. I got frustrated with a few minor things like heredocs not highlighting the inner sy…

This minimizes things a bit. The definitive editions got torn apart for being ugly and poorly developed. It was a better experience to use the originals and mod them in many cases.…

Chronic stone former here, requiring surgical intervention a few times a year. It definitely can be sudden and debilitating but for most of my teenage years I had mistaken the pain…

You may consider using asdf or some other Python version manager to get a newer (or older) Python https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf

It isn't literally the same thing as a company town but the concept from the headline at least is close enough to cause a pretty visceral reaction. Honestly, even as explained in t…

This was a concern for me but when the Remote Ruby devs had the AlpineJS guy on last year, he mentioned that you can pull them apart into data components, which provides a separati…

Thanks for the suggestion. After reading this and messing with my config, looks like doom emacs has a variable associated with the theme that sets comments to have a brighter backg…

I agree. The biggest thing I dislike about Tokyo night, though, is the comments are not very well contrasted against the background. Aside from that I like everything else though.

This really resonated with me, thanks for sharing. This lines up very well with my perception of success being composed of preparedness and opportunity. To me, Level One represents…

Is this using an iPad for coding or is this using an iPad as a dumb terminal and using something else for development? At the end of the day, that’s what makes an iPad unappealing …

This might actually be the first thing I've seen pop up organically about Elixir that isn't red hot glowing praise. Can you elaborate on what was going wrong and if it was anything…

It's org mode in emacs with the org-roam plugin. If I wasn't using emacs I would probably have a folder full of markdown files instead and leverage a project-based grep to search i…
