There's also Notion (notion.so) which is a bit more functional (although not as 'native'). Bear is more for pure writing, Notion - more for tracking, organization etc.

JetBrains makes one of the best free IDEs for Rust, been happily using it for a while now (free PyCharm CE + intellij-rust).

Emacs is free and in my opinion Magit is far, far superior to Tower / Fork / SourceTree (used them all on mac extensively at some point; out of those, fork is pretty nice and lightweight). I'm not an emacs user but always ins

So you want to define your dependencies loosely or lock them?

They are referring to conda, which is a generic package manager, dependency resolution and build tool.

Wondering which city is this if you don't mind answering?

Same here. The "You need a newer Xcode to compile this" pops up more and more often though (e.g. with vulkan stuff), so I guess I'll have to upgrade soon... probably to Mojave.

Not too familiar with inner workings of gtk-rs, but: would ECS approach work there? Or e.g., a generational slotmap, so you could pass around copyable integer keys as much as you want.

Loxone is a pretty nice one, planning to install it soon. Not open source, but it doesn't have to connect to Internet, your house is not polluted with radio signals, and you have full control over programming it (via their software).

"Fighting the compiler" is a common annoying stereotype, quite often quoted by people who don't even know Rust. After a while of using Rust, you no longer fight the compiler, you know how things work, you design and structure

+1, that's what I'm doing. iMac for everything, including development and music production; Windows and Linux virtualised and resumable in a few seconds if needed.

Disagreed. I've had BlackMagic 1U SSD rack with a few drives connected to my 2013 iMac 27'' via Thunderbolt since like... 2013, and not a single time did they disconnect. It just works. The rack is under the table so it doesn

I'm in the opposite camp - for all personal projects I always want to get everything "just right and perfect", employing all the best principles etc, which ends up being so complicated that nothing gets done due to decision p

Started using Firefox half a year ago because of a single plugin: TreeStyleTab - which lets you keep a tree of your tabs in a sidebar on the left (I tend to keep a hundred or so open all the time). I have no idea how I've lived wit

I'm not so sure about the "steep learning curve of Rust" stereotype anymore. If you are comfortable with low-level programming languages in general, in a few days you can get yourself started fairly quickly with Rust to the p

It's particularly funny because they hired Guido (GVR) who is supposedly helping them migrate a million(s) lines of code py2->py3. Whereas a better solution in the long run would have probably been just rewriting the whole damn thin

Wow, I live in Dublin and I never knew up to this point that he worked in UCD for a decade (and eventually died in Dublin).

Being a vim guy myself, I only use Emacs (Spacemacs, to be precise, so as to get rid of all those a-x a-y a-z a-m-s-x type shortcuts and replace them with something ergonomic) as a git client - because Magit is the best git client out there

What's your deal with pathlib?

by aldanor 7y ago
It’s possible via ediff if you need it; magit devs didn’t want to implement it within magit itself IIUC because it’s fragile and changes in a temporary buffer may be lost, or something like that. If you don’t like using ediff and really nee

Agreed, selecting by hunk is ok in the terminal, I do it too sometimes when sshed someplace distant. But you noted the two main differences yourself: (1) you don’t have to think in terms of git hunks if you don’t want to, lines or any block

It's more streamlined, it's easier to scroll through staged and unstaged changes fast and flip lines/hunks/whatever between the two as you go, and you don't have to fire an external editor upon each hunk because you

CLI is fine until you acquire a habit of committing things chunk-wise and line-wise. E.g., I have these 20 files modified, but I'll quickly skim through and add/commit the lines/chunks that are done, and then continue working

Yea. Moreover, I would often ask my coworkers to rebase their code if there’s commits like “oops, missed a comma” because it distracts from the main point when you read the commit history.

conda is not bad as a generic package manager for this sort of stuff (packages don't have to be Python although that's what it was initially aimed at).
