You might be looking at the non monospaced variant in the Fira font family.

The 3 main things I look for in a "coding font" are whether I can differentiate between i,I,l,L,1 and 0,o,O characters, whether or not it is readable at tiny font size (7px to 9px range on my display) and that it is a monospaced f

Linux rewards customization, if you don't have the time for that Gnome is a good starting point assuming you can adjust yourself to its workflow. XFCE is amazing (and was my primary before I switched to wayland/swaywm) and I have

Linux has gotten to the point that it is no longer necessary to look at MacOS for a stable Unix environment. I don't need much from a laptop just decent keyboard, performance, battery life and for it to not thermal throttle, but unfort

Does that justify the snide remarks? We should show more tolerance, there might not be a tool in existence that does not have its disadvantages along with its advantages. Healthy discussion around facts is beneficial, dismissing people for

lets generalize it further: People will take chances to bring up what they are passionate about. I can relate to this, it is not unreasonable for me.

mypy can be used to achieve the same effect, but I would also like the ability to enforce types at run-time, and it would be great if more tools made use of PEP 484.

No problem, LanguageClient-neovim can be a bit overwhelming at first and if you are like me, you might need to rely on the included docs and GitHub issues, but it is well worth it. I am in my spare time working on getting floating window do

I use LanguageClient-neovim[0] with pyls[1], tests are run using `:make` which populates the quickfix list with errors. I also heavily use the location list which gets populated with errors and warnings etc. automatically by LanguageClient-

>language support is the most important for productivity That is a great point, and this is precisely the goal of the Language Server Protocol[0] (LSP). I agree that dedicated tools have more sophisticated support but LSP is quickly brid

I have been using LanguageClient-neovim[0]. It is great, the main difference I have observed between LanguageClient-neovim and coc.vim is that LanguageClient-neovim provides a more vim centered UX (e.g. it automatically populates location&#

wow thanks, this has definitely piqued my interest in GraalVM, I have seen some polyglot examples on the official website, depending on the overhead it is going to enable some very interesting use-cases. Very excited to see where this goes.

As I understand it, Jython was not affected by Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL), is the same true for GraalVM Python? If it is than it would be a great way to to speed up python applications.

It is simple really, if the battery's health has declined enough to warrant a down clock, just let me know so I can: a) replace the battery. b) opt-in to degraded performance. c) upgrade my device. Rather than (in effect) tricking me i

The main difference is _ consent _ and it should not require an explanation on why it is important. May be I am strange for wanting transparency? I do not want such facts to be hidden. Slowly degrading my user experience over time with no w

I agree, my above comment was aimed at this part of the parent comment: > a huge and over-complicated xml-based system It was an attempt to show that there are not 'umpteen different alternatives' and the ones that exist, do so

I do not see your comment as fair to the parent: > there are umpteen alternatives (gradle etc) there was ant (build tool) then came maven which is much more flexible and contains dependency management capabilities (and _is loved_ by many

I agree, memes often don't contribute towards the discussion and add unnecessary noise: they just regurgitate what has already been said (the above meme is an example). I like the culture of Hacker News and its higher quality discussio

Hi, there are a few things I have wanted to ask from someone who is working with Java professionally as it is the programming language I know best (for context: I am a student who will be graduating in a year). What is Java still being used
