    Not really. If I'm using a linter, I go and configure the strictest possible ruleset, and only disable rules when justified on a need-by-need basis. It's just a matter of disciplin…

    I guess the Gnome-specific part is that Gnome comes with the Nautilus file browser, and the instructions add a script for Nautilus. But yea, this will work as long as you have imag…

    I'm currently using niri (was previously using Hyprland). Having used dwm-like tiling window managers for most of the time, I don't really care for the scrolling or dynamic workspa…

    Exactly. "GitHub actions bad" is a valid take - you should reduce your use to a minimum. "My build failed because of GitHub actions couldn't install a dependency of my build" is a …

    Samesies - need a Majjit before I can consider trying it out.

    No, you really don't have to. Partially complete software can have a lot of value too. Anyone can fork it and quickly add the i18n (or just translate into a different language) for…

    I have the same disagreement. TypeScript with its structural and pseudo-dependent typing, somewhat-functionally disposed language primitives (e.g. first-class functions as values, …

    It is unique and looks cool. When it comes to providing an enjoyable blog post reading experience, it really does creep into the "fuck off" territory for me, though.

    Even better is "" since it's not really adding anything

    `for` loops are a superfluous language feature if your collections have `map` for transformations and `forEach` for producing side effects

    It's quite nice for the following reasons: - Image previews (for file management with dired/dirvish) - PDF viewing - In-buffer images (e.g. profile pictures in git log with Magit) …

    You only need that much protein if you're trying to build muscle. The amount needed for a generally healthy diet is much lower.

    If that's something you care about, then don't define your CI build in terms of GitHub Actions steps. Instead, call your build that takes care of using whichever version of Node yo…

    I actually completely agree with both the article and your point that your code should directly communicate your intent. The angle I'd approach it from is this: recording whether a…

    I have Emacs set up like VSCode. I feel it surpasses VSCode, even because it's Emacs.

    Can you edit commits by adding on only parts of your "staging" area? Because that's my workflow. I produce a few focused and semantically coherent commits that I'd like to apply to…

    Yes, because the visual feedback on your client matters as well (faster reaction times). Also, it means each frame is more recent. Also, higher refesh rates reduce the mean varianc…
