Nice to hear this happens elsewhere, a colleague and I wrote an alternative interface for some horrible internal web tool. I don't really know why the webtool was so slow, but it took _minutes_ to load data from the database and displa

So I do use a tiling window manager, but the problem is that to take advantage of it, I'd need the editor to put each buffer in its own (real xorg) window. I couldn't get something working with either vscode or IntelliJ. One edito

Buffers and tabs serve different purposes. I think a lot of people dismiss tabs because they don't understand their purpose. It's not just about switching to different buffers quickly. Tabs are an organized collection of windows,

As a counter data point, I switched to vim precisely because constantly reaching for the mouse was causing my problems. I switched to a vertical mouse for a while and it helped, but still had problems. I switched to a connected split keyboa

It's not the resolutions, different resolutions is fine. It's the scaling. 1440p at 14" requires scaling because everything is too small (for me, anyway). But the portable monitor doesn't need scaling. I couldn't ge

I run my 1440p screen at 1080p because my portable monitor is 1080p and I don't want to try and setup different scaling on different screens in X or move to Wayland. I'm happy enough.

Yes, but the comment I replied to implied that software will just stop working. If software has been working for years and then stops working, it's usually something fairly small than can be hacked quickly. In my specific case, the too

It makes different trade-offs. Perforce is much better at dealing with large binary files, git isn't good at that. There's 'git lfs', but I have no experience using it, so I can't comment. But if you're just de

I think the amino acid profile is more important, because it's not really stated anywhere. You don't need to really worry about it with meat, but with non meat sources, you (allegedly?) need to start thinking about it. I am a dege

My advice is to make changes that let you completely eliminate the need for doing certain things. It's much easier to be organised when you only need to do one thing a day/week/month instead of 10 different things.
