I don't know, but if there were, I wouldn't expect them to do anywhere near as good a job or – perhaps somewhat counterintuitively – be anywhere near as reliable. Static rules only go so far when it comes to this stuff. And assumi

Yeah that one's too much for me too, I used to do this years ago, but not anymore. Especially since I found out Brave supports network blocking for extensions, which is something you generally set up once and then forget about it. I&#x

Thank you! "Dead simple and super effective" is pretty much exactly what I was going for, so this is great to hear. If you ever find yourself using `pprint` debugging for any other reason than having forgotten that Playback exists

Would you care to elaborate and point to some specific features and workflows that you consider to be unique to the real Vim?

This is spot-on. In a perfect world every major OS would have proper, granular mandatory access control enabled by default and applications would come with a profile specifying precisely which resources they require – at least regarding the

Slightly off-topic, but no argument for colonising Venus could possibly be complete without digging this gem of a comment out of the archives about cooking a turkey there: http://www.transterrestrial.com/2013/12/09

Much as I love Clojure, I agree that clojure.spec, while very powerful, has a mess of a UX. That's why – shameless plug – I wrote Ghostwheel [1], which, to me, turns it into a whole other thing, especially when gen-testing, spec-instru

clojure.spec+generative testing help a lot, but yeah.

Author of Ghostwheel here – clojure.spec is certainly not a replacement for static typing, but it goes a long way to covering many of the same use cases, in fact longer than one might think at a cursory glance. With Ghostwheel you write you

While that is true of the basic building blocks of the language, clojure.spec for example does have an overly verbose syntax (I would define it that way, even though it doesn't introduce new basic syntax elements) for function specs an

The font in the screenshots with the ligatures is in fact Fira Code and the font in the REPL screenshots without ligatures is Ubuntu Mono. I guess those could be considered additional syntax, but they're also completely optional and in

When you place the cursor on >fdef or >defn – which Cursive doesn't know what to do with out of the box – a light bulb appears right next to it. This is IntelliJ's quickfix feature for errors it can easily correct. You click

At the moment you can set the gspec to nil, but that would simply disable s/fdef generation and all of the spec-related magic. I'm planning to introduce a configuration option with the next release to force Ghostwheel to trust tha

This is basically generative testing using clojure.spec in a nice package with a cherry on top and a few extras. core.typed still seems to be quite experimental and not yet production-ready, but it certainly looks very promising and I'

Fellow Clojurians, I present to you, Ghostwheel. It makes the writing, reading, refactoring, testing, instrumentation and stubbing of function specs easy; introduces a concise syntax for inline fspec definitions; helps keep track of side ef

That looks like it might easily involve lots of fiddling, tweaking and dealing with obscure issues while XFence just works, which is worth a lot to me these days.

Not that I know of. The only other comparable project I'm aware of (including relative ease of use as a criterion here) is Linux' AppArmor.

Yup. While I do need to use a number of third-party tools to get the UX like I want it (Hammerspoon, Hyperswitch, Spectacle and Quicksilver), they do exist, they work fine and I think this has more to do with my specific requirements than w

I'm currently in a somewhat similar situation, although with a smaller open source project, and that's exactly what I've been struggling with the last few weeks. There are some great points in the comments here, here are my 2
