Although I _do_ see your point, in that you'd have different expectations from something you'd like to sell to stakeholders in a company ... I guess Cider is self-consciously _outside_ that genre. The feature/bug here is havi

Wha ... it's in keeping with a rich tradition of project names going back decades. "Gone this way"? Lol.

This is really cool. Remember coming across SICM a long time ago, feel it gets under-appreciated because it's perhaps too niche (not enough of the "SICP crowd" cares about the physics, people who care about the physics don&#x

I keep seeing this and ... I used to have this problem in the beginning too, with the "chords of doom" (Meta + Ctrl + ...). But what worked for me was: (1) Remap Caps-Lock to Control: I do this mindlessly, automatically, as the _f

Enjoying Obsidian at the moment, will keep an eye on this one too, but honestly can't justify the switch away (note-taking is such a habit-based, "flow" tool) unless there's a _significant_ advantage to Dendron. I guess

As someone who was fortunate to have a World Book encyclopaedia set, I think having a curated, "this is everything" experience is vastly under-rated. Encarta was better because it had some multi-media (as opposed to "just pap

The event tracing here is pretty cool; does Haskell have something equivalent in its runtime?

This is going to sound silly, but I _love_ the comment blocks in the code for Thun, how did you make them? (Edit: I tried copy-pasting an example here, but it didn't render. Example: https://git.sr.ht/~sforman/Thun

A great case to be made for a third AOSA book, that includes all these. (I was about to say that Sqlite was already covered, but no, I was confused, it was the old BerkeleyDb!)

I agree that "Emacs needs its NeoVim moment", where some architectural changes are needed for future longevity (I'd want it to be around for my lifetime!), but I also don't think there should be any breaking change. I ha

I will refrain from commenting on the general dismissiveness in your post, and stick to one of the points you made: "Ctrl-F" being linked to "move right" is the /standard keybinding/ on macOS. In fact, /mo

It has definitely been this way _as far back as I can remember_ (at least the last two decades). There have always been popular tools. Most of them haven't stuck around though. Emacs has. I wouldn't recommend using it right away t

IMO the suggestion for anyone new to Haskell should be "just use Stack". It's easy to install, works out of the box. Cabal has fixed the problems from a few years ago, and Nix is a nice ecosystem to plug into, but these can g

No, but I definitely _want_ to have something like this. Do you have this collected somewhere in a share-able form? How do you keep it up-to-date?

Sweet! I would switch to this right away, if I hadn't already discovered MailMate.

Love this. Every few years I feel I want to get deeper into it, but ... never get enough time commitment behind it. Recently been wondering if Mathematica would be a good way to do this.
