Not sure why you were downvoted, but I mostly agree. Most people don't want to fiddle with loads of plugins to fit their personal sensitivities. Most people want simple and robust software that just works.

There's a fine line between optimize and overfit. It takes a lot of experience to differentiate the two.

Same in Korea. Electric scooters everywhere. Even scooter rentals are popping up around the city.

Nowadays I couldn't care less about what style is used. As long as the code is consistent and there's an easy way to adhere (clang-format, black, prettier, etc.) I'm happy.

Why does nearly everything that Google makes look like it was designed by an engineer? They have top-notch engineering talent, but seem completely clueless when it comes to designing slick and beautiful experiences. There's a very thin

Just curious, but care to give a practical example of how it's worlds better?

OP here, wasn't expecting this to gain much traction. Lots of great comments and ideas! This started as a fun challenge/side project, nothing too serious. Not trying to replace modern notation, just testing an alternative. The not

Why do people do this? It makes for dreadful UX. Reimplementing scrolling is already a sin; in this case it's even worse. The whole website feels slow, the scrolling is confusing and inconsistent. Same thing with floating navbars and o

When it's really bright outside, switch to a monochrome, black on white terminal theme with a huge font. You'll be able to work anywhere without noticing dust or greasy fingerprints on your screen. Plus it's an exercise in mi

I love natural light, and our office has huge windows and is at the top floor, but unfortunately many developers prefer working in the dark. It's a bit depressing sometimes.

Completely anecdotal, but I had some digestive issues for a few weeks, fasted for two days, and everything returned to normal.

Welcome to the real world. I had the same thoughts when I first joined. Learn to enjoy the feeling of thriving in a mess. Don't let yourself become fragile by it. Try to slowly turn that frustration into appreciation that you're g

It's not a fun experience. A year or so ago, I woke up during the night and felt tingling in my feet. The tingling kept increasing in intensity and seemed to slowly rise along my limbs. A few seconds later, I suddenly heard someone sho

Cool stuff, very impressed! Bash is nice since it's available on many systems and is a slightly better superset of sh. However Bash is a large, ugly beast. There are a million edge cases, inconsistencies, obscure options, counter-intui

They convey emotions and add a touch of lightheartedness and fun. It's all about a healthy balance. You can still have constructive discussions about complex topics, with emojis, without giving up the Professional Adult™ card.

Regarding watching command completion, I built a tool for that purpose [1]. I use it mostly when working through SSH on the go and with slow connections. [1] https://github.com/hoffa/pingu

For those using iCloud, another simple trick is to alias n='vim ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Notes.md' Then just type n to access your scratch pad. All nicely synced between dev

Two pointers compare equal if and only if both are null pointers, both are pointers to the same object (including a pointer to an object and a subobject at its beginning) or function, both are pointers to one past the last element of the s

I personally use no plugins [1]. Zero friction moving from host to host. Vim is a great text editor, not a great IDE. For anything more sophisticated I prefer just switching to something like VS Code (with Vim bindings of course). [1] http
