Ha! Well done, sir.

The approach you're describing (redesign the protocol) is one path. Another is to sidestep the protocol entirely by using a platform that already owns its rendering surface and happens to run in a terminal: my preference is Neovim. Let

I really prefer to lock the version numbers instead: mise use -g somepackage --pin I can commit/rollback to known good versions. To upgrade: mise up -il Not so long ago, I was outspoken against mise. I've since c

That is a valid point of view. For me, however, I have found a huge productivity boost being able to stay in Neovim for extended periods of time. That's not to say that my way is the only right way, but the more I'm able to accomp

On k8s/devops tooling: I'm building tuis.nvim [1] — Docker and Kubernetes management as Neovim buffer TUIs, built on morph.nvim [2], a react-like UI framework for Neovim. Stay in the editor (if you already use Neovim, of course) i

I've been working on exactly this with morph.nvim [1] — a React-like component model (h(), component lifecycle, reconciliation, extmark-based styling) for building declarative TUIs. It uses Neovim as a base, which might seem like an od

So far, it's just a flash-banner on their `/code` page. I don't see any announcement other than folks mentioning that they are getting email announcements about its release.

Tommy Emmanuel apparently learned by transrcibing, famously thinking that both the bass line and guitar lines he was hearing were a singular "guitar part". Just by having his expectations (incorrectly) raised, he rose to the occas

As others have said, the fact that they're letting the ecosystem settle before including something out-of-the box is beneficial in some sense. It's allowed time for experiments (including my own "how would I do UI in Neovim:

I assume that you've tried Termux and somehow that doesn't meet your needs? (Also, you didn't specify whether you are on Android/iOS)

Right? That's the only reason that "coding with LLMs" works at all (believe me, all at the same time, I am wowed by LLMs, and carry a healthy level of skepticism with respect to their ability as well). You can prompt all you

We have been rewatching Clone Wars as a family, and I, for one, find this terminology hilarious given the use of it in the series towards the separatist droids.

This sounds like a really cool project. What challenges have you encountered so far?

I don't buy this. I've long wondered if the larger models, while exhibiting more useful knowledge, are not more wasteful as we greedily explore the frontier of "bigger is getting us better results, make it bigger". Qwen3

Between GLM-4.7-Flash and this announcement, THIS is what I'm excited to see in this space: pushing the capabilities of _small_ models further and further. It really feels like we're breaking into a space where models that can run

Just going to jump in here and say that there's another reason I might want Rust with a Garbage Collector: The language/type-system/LSP is really nice to work with. There have indeed been times that I really miss having enums

To be clear, I don't try to Nix-everything. I just use it to 1) install a bunch of CLI tools to my nix-env, and 2) dev-shells. That's pretty much it, though. Even that is a huge boon. Even so, I'm keeping an eye on mise, for

That's what I meant and didn't communicate well. I'm wishing for short-form syntax of lambdas, to be clear.

I'm actually trying to work on a video-series to do just this. I've made my own rudimentary plugins reproducing several popular ones, and would like to walk through how I made: a) file-tree b) picker/fzf replacment c) hop&#x2

I always wrote Lua off, scoffing at the 1-based indexing, until I was "forced" to learn it thanks to Neovim. What a delightful little language it is. I do wish I could do certain things less verbosely (lambdas would be nice) -- bu

Mise is a hard sell for me when I can have pure Nix-shells. However, I can see this gaining wider adoption since it's learning curve is so much lower than Nix.

Neovim + Git + Aider seems to get close to perfection.

Agree - leaps and bounds beyond anything I would have dreamed possible a few years ago...but... IDK, if I'm honest, the sound was way off too, not just the visuals. The music sounded detuned slightly, and the crowd noise was "crac

I use it daily locally, and find it amusing how many only think of it as being useful on remote servers (not to invalidate your use-case -- I'm just contrasting my own use). As a precursor, I view UNIX as my IDE, of which tmux is a par
