Is this a joke? There are about a thousand projects / things I would rather donate to before a trivial color visualizer.

This website sucks, it takes forever to load challenge pages because they're flooded with irrelevant entries which you can't even see if you don't submit your own. You can't even visualize the solutions directly in the b

How's the performance of the resulting games? With unity I've found that it's a mixed bag, but it's hard to know if that's the fault of developers or the engine.

It's funny how you see these articles about fancy text editor buffer representation (gap buffer, ropes) but meanwhile, the editor with the best feature/performance ratio (including multiple cursors) I've found[1] "simply

I somewhat doubt that a hollow plastic tank is significantly more expensive than a concrete block. Factor in the added cost of shipping the much heavier concrete block, and it seems like the manufacturer would also save money in the process

Maybe in the short term you'll change distro or stick to X11, but when you decide to change GPU you'll likely try to get one with more compatibility.

I never understood why people argue that operator overload is a bad thing. In a language that doesn't support it, you're going to have a function "T add(T, T)" which is pretty much the same, and can do anything. Overload

But then you get different behavior depending on the platform, which doesn't seem any more portable to me.

I've also gutted a lot of stuff from termite in my own fork (overaly, vi mode, clickable urls) and it definitely makes for a lovely minimalistic terminal. I'm thankful for termite being so simple (granted the lifting is done by a

Are you talking about Xi as a frontend for kakoune? If it's the UI part that you're interested in, there is also kakoune-qml[1] made by one of the regular uses. [1] https://github.com/doppioandante/kakoune-qml

Kakoune[1] has been posted recently here on HN to great reception. As a C++ developer, I think it has a very high quality codebase, especially considering how non-trivial it is. As a user, it's been my main text editor for over a year

Yes it's in no way a dealbreaker, but it starts rearing its head when you want to use keys outside of the alphanumeric cluster. I also absolutely agree that this is the correct way for an editor to be implemented.

Mmh right, but that's not going to dispel my feeling that mawww is actually a weeaboo.

Oh that makes a lot of sense, that's probably the origin of the name. The project is quite a bit older than that though (>4 years).

I don't understand what you mean. It's destructive in the sense that the raw input is not even being passed to the application in the terminal. No applications running in the terminal will be able to tell the difference between th

For example the fact that the terminal does not make any difference between <c-m> and <ret>. Or <c-i> and <tab>.

For what it's worth, it works properly on cygwin (and certainly the linux subsystem too). I know that the author uses it on cygwin too so there is at least some guarantee.

They are just command that you could execute manually (using ':' like in vim). The difference is that all the commands in this file are executed at startup. As I said, all the heavy lifting is done in scopes like %sh{ ... }. This

As a user, I think this is the main reason why I like kakoune: > Another often overlooked property of using a text editing language is that it’s fun. Some other things that I like about it that are not mentioned: The author is responsive

Some answers as a user: No scripting language, most of the heavy lifting done in plugin is through shell calls (asynchronously or not). Example here [1]. I personally think that it's kinda hard to grok to be honest. Thanks to the clien

I was sort of in your situation a while ago and wanted to learn vim, but was a bit put off by all the legacy that it carries (also spoiled by sublime's multiple cursors). I then discovered kakoune[1] and liked its design. I started get

How so? If the entire directory structure is also encrypted then no program can easily know which sites or services I have passwords for.

by omtose 10y ago
This is all a lot of effort, if I went down that road I might as well skip "pass" and handle the passwords myself. What I like about pass is that there isn't much setup. Full disk encryption also doesn't prevent a runnin
