I used this Jedi plugin for Python for a while, but didn't need it too often and didn't install it the next system refresh. Might be out of date now. https://github.com/notetau/geany-jedi-complete

You have to write hex codes into a text file in your config folder, there is no GUI for it. They have themes for a few years now. You copy one and edit. Not hard but not effortless either. One interesting thing is that you can do it in G

I use Linux and grudgingly Mac now, so np++ is not even in the race. ;-)

Hmm, I don't do most of those things. Or, I use external tools/pre-commit/terminal so not a big issue for me. For example, a tool like "black" or "prettier" has outsourced a lot of the manual formatting

The root problem it seems is that some fonts are out of spec, and there's a workaround: [styling] line_height=0;2; I recommend Source Code Pro which is a great programming font and apparently doesn't have the problem,

You don't have to use Windows to appreciate it, X Window and Mac use the same to similar keybindings.

A Scintilla bug fixed five years ago? Hex digits in a text file is obtuse? No software is perfect but there's probably better criticism out there.

It uses CUA keybindings which everyone should know. If you're already invested in vim, there's not much benefit, other than not having to use different keybindings in different windows.

It's not true, at least with contractors for software positions.

From experience with a school age kid, this kind of language is being drummed into youth, aka brainwashing, at least in "liberal" areas of the country. It's not the worst thing I've seen so don't worry too much, bu

Geany fills this niche, and is close to being feature complete. It could use help and attention as well, it unfortunately doesn't get enough imho. Also on github: https://github.com/geany/geany

One thing I like about this terminal is that it is one of the few that will highlight your terminal tab if it had output and you haven't looked at it yet. When you look the highlight disappears.

It never came with a standardized package manager, and many user tools are ancient. Newer versions won't let you turn off telemetry services because they are started in a read-only boot volume. It's pretty but pretty dumb at tim

The PC market grew bottom up to be 10x the size of the workstation market during the 90s. Even with thinner margins, eventually workstation makers couldn't compete any longer on R&D spend. The book The Innovator's Dilemma des

Yes, they never substantially upgraded it once it hit 1.0 about two decades ago.

((Record scratch sound)) Looks really neat. But there's a dissonance between the positioning here vs. the audience it is intended for. The community of folks interested in using a terminal is largely one of grizzled veterans that sig

Weren't the "crackpots" lumped in with quite a few folks that weren't confident, merely curious?

These other responses sound like an episode of Dynasty to be honest. All you have to do is keep up a minimum of a mildly positive spin on things and get your work done. That's it. To get through to management, you'll probably ha

Indeed. I remember interviewing for several positions and could have done them with one hand behind my back. A ~year later they were still trying to fill the position but hadn't.

Yes, to bring our corner as an example. Compare the rent of these buildings on the same street: - 2020, new ~$4500 - 1990, renovated, ~$3500 - 1975, maintained, ~$2500

You seem to be aware it is irrational. Let poor developers go if they do not improve with training.

Working is one thing. What about when you need to get hired and don't have six months to waste? If it weren't for finding a quick place to give me a chance I'd be unemployed.
