Interesting, so "otherthinking" is bad here. Have you tried other devices to turn yourself back on track without the extra work?
214.
by eviks 3mo ago
Thinking is thinking. Then you can write your thoughts for later use of think more instead

Indeed, the research is just laughable on its face, and of course it doesn't address the real issue - proving that all that extra brain involvement is positive, but hey, the author has already invested in the fountain pens, needs to pr

If you don't read notes, why waste time making them instead of slowing down even more and spending that extra time/effort on active listening/thinking?
217.

How will that help you prevent the transfer? The OP also "kept his eye out"

Those already exist?

You could use an illegal file name symbol as the Options Introducer?

Yes, the lack of good design in that world is apparent and will continue to cripple a few more generations (but re. evolution that's often a false reading - in many cases it's some primitive napkin design made at the beginning of

How can text enable compabitility if you can't be certain how to parse it, and the rules can change any time??? Similarly with vendors - how can they lock you into themselves if you use some widespread open format?
222.
by eviks 3mo ago
That's not the benefit of text, just adoption. All these tools could've just as well grown to be popular with a proper format, and your point would be exactly the same

What are the advantages over structured text?

If you need to install this enumerator and other deps on the machine, how much harder would it be to install nu and its deps?

> I still enjoyed the convenience of opening and editing a single file quickly. However, he was right to question it. I no longer needed Sublime Text and got rid of it. Where did the convenience of editing a single file go?

Ah, it was the legacy version of KDL, the current one got rid of this quotation noise

But since you don't have an infinite number of clients, just a few, there is no need for infinite storage

And what do you suggest users do if that function isn't in the program and is unlikely to appear there?

Wish there were a more widespread config system where you could use a wider range of languages and not be limited to a single bad ancient one.
236.
by eviks 3mo ago
Because you are less limited by all the mistakes the designers encoded in the static files
237.
by eviks 3mo ago
That seems like a huge waste of time for anything slightly complicated to convert code to simple configs and lose a lot of functionality in the process. Do you have an indication of how prevalent the cycle is in reality?
238.
by eviks 3mo ago
How would that help if the result of the template is the same single config file that doesn't separate concerns?
