"Singleton" sounds like a good word here (though I've never heard it used in that context)

The problem is: this is absolutely not true in the real world.

A shameless plug, but you may also like Quod Libet[1]. Although not for everyone, it has very advanced searching and the more unusual integrations and features all implemented as plugins. [1] https://quodlibet.readthedocs.io

This Elm brought back joy and longevity for side projects to front-end for me (that had been ground down by the JS ecosystem sadly)

I'm on my second home of full Z-wave (mostly Fibaro, pricey but would recommend) and though smaller this isn't my experience at all. No it's not perfect but agree with others that the S2 seems to be way better. Also bandwidth

> We use Stack together with Nix to pin all dependencies. That works very well. Could you elaborate on the path you took here? Sounds interesting

Lol, so just like Twitter then

IMO it's because they've done very smart pivots / rebranding (VSCode, Github, NPM, even the Surfaces) and people who even know start thinking "new Microsoft"

Nice! Have signed up and will play. What would work for me especially is some kind of API, so we could integrate it into, say, music players...

Whilst I like the look of Cue... this argument reminds me of the Kubernetes trap ( We should use it... because Google does it and they're huuuuuuuge don't you know etc )

Thanks for the link Side note: makes me sad when even open-source tools for Gitlab are hosted... on Github...

Oh God, are we still discussing 10x programmers? Please let's not.

Wow this left me a bit depressed. Are there any good third-party review systems out there then?

But do we really think that learning (current) Photoshop etc will have any relevance to them being successful in say 5-20 years? (if the graphic design world even exists by then)

Yes.. but are we really saying that people can install Windows and ride off into the sunset? IME there are always people who "get stuck" with their computer or end up in "nuke from orbit" situations.

I disagree. Which "Linux" are you even talking about? (it's not the Kernel that's relevant here of course)

Reaper on Linux is really quite impressive IMO
23.
by declnz 4y ago
Yes this. I feel people avoid it because of inertia, but I've started using it by default now, and typically only adds a few lines of code. (old) batteries included etc etc There's also https://docs.python.org/3&#x

A new take on the data processing maxim of "garbage in, garbage out"?

TIL about JPEG XL itself, looks pretty cool. Thanks!

Shellcheck is truly a game-changer, even for people who've been hacking Bash (etc) for 20+ years. Side note: it's also one of (or the ?) most popular Haskell projects out there: https://github.com/koalaman/s

Yes. Though stepping back a little further, I'd add (with some qualification): 24 (which perhaps opened my eyes to TV overtaking film in new ways) Lost Buffy And then further still: The X Files This Life (UK only?)

I agree with the sentiment but not the 90% figure here.

Well, I wouldn't say it doesn't need none at all...

Probably doesn't help, but for me, just plain being bad at games has definitely saved me (ish) from this kind of addiction cycle, even though they interest me a lot.
