On macOS, you can enable window dragging by holding down the Control+Command keys with this command: defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true I use this with "three finger drag", and resizing at the window

Great question! In my experience with ruby on rails, the application runtime is so dynamic, that even unit tests may not be reliable if run outside the production image. I think normally this isn't much of an issue because other autom

I think it's common (and important!) to build your "production" image once and deploy it into a dev/staging environment first. This means there are no re-builds between deploys to each environment. However, I think it&#x

One of my professors would often refer to this struggle as taking place between the Nihilists and Unitarians.

Personally, I would like to see a markdown spec that eliminates parsing ambiguity by restricting the "edge-case" features that HTML is really much better at describing in a standard and structured way. I think we could pick one wa

Yes! Using org-publish with htmlize is wonderful.

Wow! Occur is the gift that keeps on giving. That's great!

Yes! wdired and wgrep are really fun. It's amazing how Emacs utilizes buffers to offer a very powerful and consistent user interface. I think some other compelling examples are compilation-mode and magit.

You can't bring up Feyerabend without mentioning Imre Lakatos. The "methodology of scientific research programmes" is another fun read that takes the matter of demarcation a bit more seriously than AM. For example, Lakatos is

I recently picked up the Fellow Ode for myself. I'm very happy with it so far and it's working exactly as advertised. Quiet, consistent, and very fast.

Blink[1] is a really cool open source app that will give you a shell on iOS and allow you to SSH into another machine. You can install it yourself, or purchase from the App Store. If you want to use another computer you own, rather than a s

The moka pot is super cool and I thought it made great coffee...until I discovered that I preferred almost every other possible brew method. The moka pot is very hard to dial in and almost always burns the coffee. It requires care, focus, a

Agreed! I spent way too long doing flexbox layouts before I discovered 'gap'.

Looks great! https://based.cooking/ might be another good source of recipes if you're not already using it.

Arch is great, although I think fedora does a much better job at providing a no-nonsense Linux workstation and would make for a smoother transition from macOS.

I read this somewhere about how to do estimates and it has stuck with me: "Double the number and increment the unit." This is a simple formula to calculate how long something takes to go from idea to production. So, 3 hours become

You better believe it. This was exactly my experience as a TA in my College's computer science department from 2014-2018. It's not incompetence though, as the article points out, we've moved beyond an intimate understanding o

Whitespace is definitely a legitimate critique of python. The fact that people have learned to live with it or just ignore it is pretty irrelevant in my opinion. Significant whitespace means I can't copy+paste without introducing bugs

It sounds like you are looking for an excuse to give org-mode a chance. Github will render org-mode documents now, so there's that. Don't be afraid to give emacs a test drive, it's very possible to avoid getting sucked into t

I'm not sure I agree keybindings were/are the significant factor. The editors have a completely different history and their authors come from very different backgrounds.

The way I see it, emacs is really an idea. Vim is a text editor that grew into an ecosystem of people bolting on additional functionality. While extensibility is possible, it's nowhere near as transparent and consistent as the emacs en
