   Over the past two years I have become quite a competent swing dancer. In order to do this, I've had to practice (of course), but also make friends and build community with people from all different walks of life and professions. We got

   Imo, no. I think the documentation is very good, unlike what I had heard. The thing that I really had to invest in was my ability to patiently read documentation closely instead of aimlessly trying to find a shortcut by jumping around the d

   I have a lot of love for Homebrew from many years of using it, but I don't think you'll ever find me using it in macOS or Linux again. I use Nix on both now and I'm convinced that it is the saner way of doing things.

   If you watch it at all, stop watching pornography. Its consumption is in many ways the opposite of both love and sexual intimacy. The quality and intimacy of my relationships (both romantic and interpersonal) before and after I stopped cons

   I'm sorry you got downvoted for this comment, for what it's worth I tried voting it back up. The DSL is largely "borrowed" (stolen) from skhd, which has been around for a long time, so most existing shkd-syntax-compatibl

   I'll start working on a full setup video to post on YouTube once I have finished packaging and getting whkd onto the common package managers! Keep an eye out in the next month or so.

   I don't think it's quite that simple with this use case[1][2], but I'm happy to be proven wrong! [1]: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/blob/master/derive-ahk/sr... [2]: https:&#x2F

   I ended up using AHK for komorebi[1] because I was still new to Windows when I started writing it and I didn't wanna have to write a tiling window manager AND a hotkey daemon. I even ended up generating a nice little AHK library to wra

    This is a bit of a PITA for me as most people use AHK to handle shortcuts for komorebi[1], which led to me generating an AHK library[2] to help people write their configs. Turns out every single line of that generated library (not to mentio

    It would be interesting to have a further breakdown showing how many developers using Linux are using Linux via WSL.

    I built my own solution for this that I've discussed and shared on HN before[1]. For me, keeping track of this sort of stuff was important enough that I decided to build something that was catered specifically to my wants and needs. [1

    Haha hello! I don't use Teams personally but I believe some people have solved this and it is part of the standard application-specific fixes that are used to generate base configurations.[1] Thanks to the architecture of komorebi, it&

    If you're someone who frequents places like HN, I'd suggest https://hachyderm.io - very well run and has a lot of like-minded people with tech expertise and interests.

    For projects that you will ultimately be charging money for, from my own experience, comments on HN in which you describe how you use your project generate a lot more interest than submissions of your project or articles about your project.

    I would encourage people who are a little technical to try creating their own solution to the problem that Pinboard.in tries to address. I did this with a similar ethos (simple design, plain html, no external js libs) and I've been run

    We are using the CLI, but it leaves a lot to be desired. Honestly, if you want to get serious about configuration management you need to put out a Terraform provider ASAP. The disaster recovery story in particular is very poor. To use this

    Honestly I don't know much about web mentions. It would be very cool however, if when I add a HN/Reddit/Twitter/Mastodon comment by somebody to a curated feed, that that person could be notified by a web mention. From my
