Thanks forkfork. I'm _absolutely_ not an NFT shill and my avatar is funny af because NFT/Web3 is meant to be decentralised but it's built on central platforms. The avatar/pfp that I use received a DCMA takedown thus is an doubley illegal NFT [this will make sense if folks are aware of the RRBAYC lawsuit] that I can't change. It exists in "my wallet" but it can't be used anywhere. ps. The first ever Crypto Policy Symp…

See, what I would do in my case is I would just make a bash script for sftp. I'm not even sure if small devs benefit from such a bloated editor: the time you have to invest in writing a script or learning a command-line tool is to some extent time invested in learning a fungible skill, whereas time you invest in learning a graphical tool is usually not as extensible or reliable. A major time-sink in a previous job si…

The upshot of such a graphical IDE for me is basically lots of panes and windows to rapidly search in. I might have one library I've branched 7 times for 12 projects and need to have a few open and jump quickly to which version some line of code is referencing. It also helps with keeping version control and history right next to the working files. A bash script would be fine for syncing but it's not going to give me…

I had to use VS Code it briefly for a class, and was kind of shocked by the telemetry stuff, and that it's just ignore-accepted by both the students and the instructors. But what turned me off more was this janky feeling around the whole application, something I don't remember experiencing in many other Microsoft tools, such as VB. It feels like it was designed from the code up rather than from the interface down, an…

FYI you can get around HSTS errors on Chromium-based browsers by typing thisisunsafe. Source: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/d8fc089b62c...

    /**
     * This allows errors to be skippped by typing a secret phrase into the page.
     * @param {string} e The key that was just pressed.

    function handleKeypress(e) {
      // HTTPS errors are serious and should not be ignored. For testing purposes,
      // other approaches are both safer and have fewer side-effects.
      // See https://goo.gl/ZcZixP for more details.
      var BYPASS_SEQUENCE = window.atob('dGhpc2lzdW5zYWZl');
      if (BYPASS_SEQUENCE.charCodeAt(keyPressState) == e.keyCode) {
        keyPressState++;
        if (keyPressState == BYPASS_SEQUENCE.length) {
          sendCommand(SecurityInterstitialCommandId.CMD_PROCEED);
          keyPressState = 0;
        }
      } else {
        keyPressState = 0;
      }
    }

I'm not sure it's "funny af," but I'm glad to hear that you're opposed to them.
