This is kind of different though isn't it? Doing an assembly or compiler class has pretty clear benefits in this regard. But LLMs are tools. Does a great engineer need to know how vscode works? Might be helpful to understand how extens

Really hoping this will include the ability to sync information from the internet via the BT tethered phone. But probably not Similar to the current weather feature that grabs the weather for the next 5 days on every sync, I just want to pu

Ansible is a different tool than Nix. It's been specifically designed to fit your exact use case. If ansible works for you and your team, there's no reason to drop it. I've never had a moment using nix where I've felt &q

For hobby, I use functional languages, and I find the techniques are the important bits to remember. Most modern languages let you easily stand on functional programming theory. You don't need to know Haskell. Everyone's brain wor

I've bookmarked your project years ago to attempt implementing webrtc fully in a niche programming language. But I think I may have vastly underrated how difficult this is. Have you come across https://github.com/elixir

Ironically these days you might have a better chance making a living from playing video games compared to any physical activity.

To fly a plane with 300+ passengers you still only need 2-3 pilots. That has remained consistent with the invention of autopilot. While we might still need a few human engineer experts, maybe we only need a few for small to medium sized com

Why not go full functional programming at that point? If the main issue with FP has been accessibility, then it should really take off now.

What if there is simply nothing that can be done? I don't mean to sound defeatist, but what if there are some things that truly are like pandora's box. We can't put the lid back on. All we can do is educated people on how to

What about Elm? I think most people could grasp the elm architecture in an afternoon. To me this MVU style is pretty much perfect for UI. I think a lot of the time React appears complex and hacky is because we tried to solve world hunger wi

The ease in which you can get away with these tactics ad infinitum is starting to make me a pessimist. It feels like it takes almost an entire population of unified people, that are diligently advocating on behalf of themselves, to compete

That's extremely difficult. I just don't assume something is impossible because it hasn't been done yet. Especially when there is an active battle to undermine and destroy such ideas by almost every powerful entity on earth.

I feel like you're fighting the fallacy of "the rich" being collectively blamed for every problem, by giving them credit for everything instead. We know that none of the goods you listed would be available to the masses unles

Tried Mise?

by ikety 10mo ago
It's quite odd to me that Nix or something similar like Mise isn't completely ubiquitous in software. I feel like I went from having issues with build dependencies to having that aspect of software development completely solved as

Yea this seems like a super power I thought only functional languages had. I have to make time to learn some Rust

Appreciate it, that makes a lot of sense. I feel like I've been trained to favor immutability so much in every language that I sometimes forget about these things.

by ikety 10mo ago
Yep Rust approach won. Pretty much every new language is adopting Result style errors and it's been adapted to plenty of existing languages. It's a product of functional programming, and for me I can't see how you would ever

I'm not sure that nobody thinks of this. We just have a finite amount of time. Usually with a solid approach, you get solid performance. Fixing a performance related bug rarely when it comes up, is still a time savings over designing t

I'm interested in what scenarios you don't get this same feeling when writing TS code? I of course agree with Ruby, JS, and Python.

I'm sure most would stay at valve if they could. The just do so much contract work, and I'm sure a stable job at intel is better pay, benefits and stability.

F# seems really awesome. Used it briefly for an internal tool. Are you at a startup working with it?

Highly disagree. The commissary on most military bases are awesome. Spent most of my life going there with my parents. Not sure where you heard they were bad. Never got that impression from any military serving people, like ever.

I stopped using eza and lsd in favor of aliasing nushell's ls command. I guess it's not worth the entire dependency of nushell if you don't see yourself ever dabbling with it in other ways (you should it's sick). Also I&

The biggest benefit is multiple cursors. The helix and kakoune multiple cursor implementation are probably the best in any editor. It just goes hand in hand with selection first.

My work setup is simply too complex and uses too many plugins to work in Helix as of now. For all personal work and just quick text editing I use Helix. If I could use Helix for everything I would

Zero config distros still require maintenance, and the chosen tools change over time. Helix is just Helix Helix is actively inspiring Neovim to become a more comprehensive baseline. Which is freaking awesome. One day the ootb experience wil

I use both helix and vim every day. After a while your brain just adjusts. It's like playing on playstation and nintendo for a long time. Eventually as soon as your hands touch the controller it switches to the appropriate mode.
