Due to its simplicity it's a fun little processor to program. Hacking on some assembly on a ZX spectrum emulator is a nice way to stay sane in this high abstraction LLM age.

Really excited about this! At least in Sublime Text I've found multiple cursors a really powerful tool for ad-hoc transformations on snippets of semi-structured text or instantly and visually applying the same edit on multiple similar

The comment was especially about TypeScript. Unlike the ancient JavaScript versions best used for web sugar you're possibly thinking of, it's a highly pragmatic and well designed general purpose programming language with an unique

This is what I've done in those rare cases I've had to fix a bug in a tool or a library I've used professionally. I've also made sure to do that using online identities with no connection to my employer so that any small

Developer-specific sandbox environments with hot code reload is the golden standard here but Localstack is great if you can't do that due to (usually IT deparment-related, not technical) reasons.

As someone with years of experience on serverless stuff on AWS I might be a bit biased BUT I'd argue serverless is the sweet spot for most applications. You need to remember however that most applications aren't your typical start

The 4.x series was the one where the ideas still making Plasma so powerful were seeded. While I loved KDE 3 the design for 4 seemed revolutionary. Too bad it was alpha/beta quality up until the 4.6 release years later. I fared through

In a sense the simplicity of SLS is a trap: immediately when you need to move past the synchronous lambda invocations via API GW use case (caching, service integrations, step function workflows etc) you need to either fall back to plain Clo

In an AWS scenario I can think of: Pro vs pulumi: you get a declarative template to debug and review Pro vs CDK: The declarative template is applied via APIs instead of CloudFormation. The CDK CloudFormation abstraction leaks like hell

Same story with Azure. All the good services are acquisitions, rest is low quality feature catch-up with AWS augmented by a terrible IAM system.

KRunner [1] on Plasma is pretty awesome. Plenty of plugins available [2] and it's also very useful out of the box on most distributions. [1] https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Krunner [2] https://store.kde

I loved the folder view! It really highlighted the shift to a modular design in Plasma and solved the problem of desktop eventually ending up as a garbage dump of stuff that at some point was relevant but now impossible to find by providing

Overload is awesome! However I wonder if some remnants of 90s game design like tight time limits and repeating enemy ambushes that make the game such a familiar and intense experience for the old school in reality disadvantage the game and

The only Windows box I have is an AMD-based gaming rig and last time I checked the hardware isn't Windows 11 compatible. Time to check out how the gaming experience on Linux is these days.

My current primary workstation is very low spec and old compared to a M2 Mac. On that machine Sublime Text is very performant and provides an awesome code writing experience through LSP. I use it as a daily driver with TypeScript, Go and Da

The CoC doesn't ban supporters of specific political agenda or party line but it is a banned topic. Anyone who's been on the internet in the past few years knows how passionate these supporters can get. That's a magnet for he

If they wanted non-sanctioned editors integrating Copilot they wouldn't have taken the extra steps of implementing an obfuscated LSP but provided an API or a plain client library. At best this could be a pet project by a Neovim fan GH

It's interesting that the #2 selling point on the landing page (the Copilot integration) relies purely on Microsoft's goodwill. There is no official API for Copilot but instead a (non-standard) LSP implementation embedded into the

It's a sad world when a thoughtful, well-structured, obviously experience-based and informative comment is immediately assumed to be word guessing machine generated garbage.

Serverless runtimes don't shut down the instance immediately after the invocation is complete but keep it up for an undetermined time depending on many factors (usually ~15 minutes) in order to process a possible new event without the

I stopped using the Severless framework when CDK came out. For simple cases it's still fine I guess but a lot of time I found myself falling back to plain CloudFormation (ugh) or relying in plugins with questionable maintenance status.

In contrast to provider-native serverless solutions, cloud agnostic solutions carry a high price tag for the entire application life cycle in form of operations - those people petting your k8s. A common misconception regarding serverless ap
