it's... it's beautiful... wishing Ralph good luck! his blog posts have taught me sooo much in the past. i particularly enjoyed the disclaimer at the end, a lot of these Rust projects aren't production ready but learning about

mentioned this in another comment but my use case is mostly not wanting to spend a lot of time setting up a dev environment on a machine i rarely use for programming. in my case, sometimes i like to do my code reviews in bed and/or in

works great for Rust and Elixir in my experience, granted those languages have very forgiving installation processes. i use GitPod on my iPad and Linux machines for misc. editing projects outside of my main machine. ex. i was on vacation vi

i think that's what first turns people off from vim. the defaults are (subjectively) terrible from an ease-of-use perspective. usability wise, nothing beats it. maybe emacs competes, but i've never given it a go. i think most intr

crtl-m for me! i like to map my keys with the keywords i have in my head (control + M ode). i really like how you put it in that last sentence. though i main my macbook for development purposes, my daily driver is a linux machine. i never

i agree with the rest of the comments in the thread. there are certainly generational stereotypes, i guess in the world of design ours are an overdose of gradients and rounded corners lol. personally, i'm a fan of a little bit of the m

perhaps i am too young and naive, but i am terrified of playing that game. i'm very glad i took up a career where these are dinner-time conversations and that i don't have to bear the weight of making those kinds of decisions. can

love the idea! i'd be willing to contribute but i'm sort of useless when it comes to go... i do have a suggestion though! lots of open source projects also use open collective [1] to crowd source funds, so if you want to add anoth

i made a similar tool to learn elixir and it's collaborative in nature, would be interesting to see if you could do a similar twist so people could work on a piece together.

as of late last year - of the large tech companies - it seems that amazon and microsoft might be the biggest Rust (in prod) evangelists. they basically swiped all the mozilla rust devs that were laid off and made their own dedicated Rust te

it's hard for me to respond to everyone so i'm going to hope that you will all be checking in on this at some point. firstly, i want to say that i really appreciate your candor. for you all to share those personal stories with me,

if you choose to go this route, jellyfin is a great privacy-respecting media server. plex is great, but requiring an email or third party account on a self-hosted app is just weird.

heavily agree with this. completely orthogonal, but most people i know that have worked in a kitchen (myself included) have, at some point, mentioned their initial shock with how disturbingly gross kitchens are. after reading orwell's

i agree. personally, i tend to look at the world through something akin to Kant's empirical realism. though it's not epistemology, his work Critique of Judgement is unique in that he directly tackles how "the judgement of tas

i'm not a philosophy nut or anything, but consider looking into empiricism versus rationalism and looking at Paul's writing, or conversations about the objectivity/subjectivity of aesthetics through that lens. Paul lives up

i would say the tailwind docs themselves and looking at the examples were a big help. for instance, the way they visualize their flex elements was enlightening. also, learning about how atomic css is a useful paradigm was the biggest motiva

i mentioned this in another comment but one takeaway i got from using tailwind is that it changed the way i look at css. i use it as a learning tool as well, which is something i rarely ever get out of solutions that try to do most of the h

despite a lot of the backlash i've seen around the web concerning tailwind, bootstrapping projects is easier when all* the work is done for you. i also found that the consistency and familiarity you gain is just... nice? i've lear
