Maybe I have my bash/readline vi mode configured specially to do this, but if I want to delete the entire line and type a new one (from anywhere in that line), I do something simpler than either of these alternatives: <esc>S Esc

I'm not positive, but I think they've already run that playbook once or twice. They are IN the cycle.

Last things first: on my phone I only run syncthing "on demand", so I can't actually answer your question. Maybe someone else can chime in? From the little I've brushed up against the issue you're referring to, I

Adding to the many other great uses of termux already here, the most useful lately for me is running Syncthing. After the "drama" with the Syncthing android client (my understanding: official development stopped due to onerous req

Similar to a sibling comment, and perhaps not really applicable (since this isn't a company making something people can buy...), but the MNT Reform is amenable to fitting a custom/ergonomic keyboard also (I hadn't seen the Fr

I also type "startx". Never saw the point of a display manager (which might be my own shortcoming!).

I read it to mean the author used "desktop environments" prior to that, so KDE or Gnome, as opposed to a "bare" window manager.

On digital ocean (at least) you can upload your own images and boot droplets directly from them. In the past I've used a script called "alpine-make-vm-image" to run alpine images in digital ocean. https://github.co

One way I compare the git to jj transition (if it happens, or for whom it happens) to the svn to git transition is: branching in svn was awful. It was heavyweight and you were signing up for pain later down the road. Git made branching easy

(To address sibling comment: If I were colorblind, I would lead with that in any conversation about syntax highlighting; I am not colorblind.) To answer the question: it's a feeling, like lots of things in software development. I trie

Not the person you're replying to, but when they said "extraction" I believe they're talking about extracting pages from a PDF (like "splitting" the PDF apart, page-wise), not text. At least that's a thi

I wouldn't argue that the vim default (of not allowing backspace beyond where you entered insert mode) is ergonomic, but I do prefer and exclusively use the default vim behavior. It's just what I'm used to at this point (24 y

To each their own. I quit using syntax highlighting about 10 years ago and won't ever go back (been programming for 25 years, vim/neovim user for 24 years). I just like it better, it works for me. It definitely does not make th

Make that three :). Alpine is my "daily driver" on my laptop. I have several very long lived cloud VMs running it too. I know it has the reputation as "just" a container OS, but it's a pretty regular Linux distro. I

If your update is the simplest version, a "git pull" -- then you're incorporating commits that have not "stewed" long enough for anyone to be burned. You might win the lucky ticket! (Saying this as someone who rarel

I'd describe myself the same as you did in your first paragraph here, and wanted to say that with LSP, your "rename function call" example in vim (well, I switched to neovim some years ago) is (mostly) `<Leader>rn` (def

Yes, that is completely true -- transitive dependencies are a problem. What I suggested only works in the simplest cases and isn't a great solution, more of a bandaid.

Depending on your circumstances (and if the license of the action allows it) it's "easy" to fork the action and use your own fork. Instant "pinning".

You can consciously harness "target fixation" for good purposes, though. It would be more difficult to talk about that side the coin if it were referred to as "hazard fixation".
