You'll never be able to draw the tiger how you want it unless you draw the tiger. Prompting is not drawing, it's commissioning from another creator.

Haha, I'll elaborate on that a bit. I don't recommend rolling your own setup to most people that I encourage to version their dotfiles. The vast majority of the developers I've met don't have any type of dotfiles setup

I think it's the exact opposite of what you're saying. The maintainers sound like they're only considering the technical cost (and judging it not worth it) instead of factoring in the political consequences of keeping the sam

I've checked out stow, chezmoi, yadm, and others over the years, but I originally started off by rolling my own dotfiles setup with a Git repo about 6 years ago: https://github.com/jaminthorns/environment I don&#x

This article pre-supposes that the primary way AI agents will do tasks for users will be through through usage of desktop applications instead of documented APIs. While desktop app usage could be very important during a transition period of

Maybe you should interrogate that temptation to reach for physical interfaces? It sounds like you're ignoring your own psychology and shaping yourself to the machines around you instead of thinking of how the machines could be shaped t

I think that's perfectly understandable. File systems require the user to remember a hierarchy in their head (even if there are tools like breadcrumbs to help you out), and many people aren't willing or aren't able to hold an

Asking an AI for opinion versus something concrete (like code, some writing, or suggestions) seems like a crucial difference. I've experimented with crossing that line, but I've always recognized the agency I'd be losing if I

I love WezTerm! In the author's spirit of obsessive tweaking, here's a completely inconsequential configuration change I made. By default, WezTerm doesn't have a scrollbar, but you can easily enable it with: config.enable

Quite possibly, but I use it daily with no issues. It’s also pretty easy to write your own prompt and then make it async with this plugin: https://github.com/acomagu/fish-async-prompt

Here's a 22-line Elixir script that spins up a webserver: https://hexdocs.pm/plug/readme.html#hello-world-request-resp... There's another single-file example on that page that shows how to implement routing.

This seems like the obvious solution to me. You don't know what the user's eyes are looking at, so making the highlighting a visual representation of what's in the viewport seems preferable than nominating a single section as

Not out of the box, but I use Hammerspoon to implement a global hotkey to show WezTerm: https://github.com/jaminthorns/environment/blob/a609e81f3f41... I don't have a keybinding to hide, but you could ea

I've definitely seen "zero-dependency" as a selling point for several packages in the past few years, that's always very refreshing.

I completely missed the `<PATHS>` argument despite being the first thing documented under `jj log`. That's definitely the most critical feature out of my list, thank you for pointing that out! Also, it's great to hear that y

What? That's a weirdly money-minded question. I'm not gonna do some Google interview-esque estimation question to answer that, but I'll elaborate on how I use those features, because I enjoy discussing them. I use line range

Jujutsu seems really cool, and I love that I can use it in a Git repository alongside other contributors that don't. It seems like a lot of logging features from Git aren't present, though. Besides the mentioned lack of blame func

I've got to give Atom a lot of credit for laying the groundwork for VS Code, but I can't imagine ever going back to use it. I doubt this project will ever get the performance to an acceptable level, since it seems like that was ne

Making a pivot to working on research-adjacent software instead of corporate software has been in the back of my mind over the past couple of years. Do you mind sharing a bit on how you went about your search and found your current job?

Elixir has a pretty nice graph library as well: https://hexdocs.pm/libgraph/api-reference.html I've used it to do some dependency resolution for operation ordering.

Pipes in both of the languages you specified do function application, not composition, so they’re very much point-ful (you see the arguments you pass/get passed).

I've seen this in the past, but it looks like the "magic paint" feature was added since then, and it really delighted me when I discovered it. It's such an intuitive way to implement multi-select on a canvas.
