FWIW, your "vim stack" is identical to mine. I also use a python lsp implementation, plugged in to ALE. I'd mirror your comments, and especially emphasize the speed aspect. (I think your ordering of comparisons matches the ra

To be clear, I was saying that integrating LSP into neovim makes neovim more monolith-y than it was prior, not that LSP was a monolith! :)

Is anybody else uncomfortable about the idea that an LSP client is now baked into the editor (as opposed to being a plugin)? Are there big performance gains to this approach? While LSP is great, it basically came from nowhere in the last co

In case you or others are not aware: "amazing" and "awesome" are commonly-inferred as having positive connotations in the native-english-speaking-world, but the dictionary definitions of these words have no such connotat

I know you already mentioned it, but gRPC does support QUIC. If it helps at all, the C++ surface wraps a C core [1], which supports QUIC via an opt-in Cronet dependency [2][3]. If you wanted to roll your own messaging framework, you'd

In case readers here are unaware, bear attacks are very rare in North America [1]. You might be more likely to die in a car accident involving a deer on the way to/from your outing, than to be killed by a bear during your outing. Most

It's a fairly popular activity for people in the military to get engaged in, for many reasons. Particularly people who were deployed in the field. The back country is an environment where one is able to apply physical skills and tools,

Not the OP, but this is already happening for the browser. See e.g. https://mightyapp.com/ that was posted to HN not too long ago. It’s not shocking to hear that people are asking for stuff like this. But I agree with the c

The difficulty with folklore is that it’s so intensely regional and period-specific, and that no real “canon” exists for most regions and times, especially when you’re reaching back into pre-christianity folklore. This is the mistake that C

A $5 reverse proxy with a cloud/colo IP goes a long way (so you can map 25 -> whatever you like). It does mean your traffic is centralized through a data center, but it probably goes through one already...

I think it’s the Germanic roots bleeding through. A “German” way to pluralize a noun is to “open up” the vowel, and occasionally add an “uh” at the end, for effect. Maus -> Mäuse (kind of sounds like mice, listen to Google translate) For

I don’t think you can make an argument against the present valuation of FB on a historical performance basis. Investors will tell you that historical performance does not guarantee future performance. It’s one yardstick, but it’s not always

This is a fun thought experiment! I also agree, that we lose real and valuable economic agility, when we fail to let big companies die and be picked apart / liquidated. We effectively eliminate the bottom half of the food chain (decomp

Yeah, in my experience it takes X years of experience at a company that is already using a monorepo + blaze-derivative tooling, for the costs of setup and maintenance to make it worth adoption. That X is mostly a function of how open you ar

It’s just my opinion and I’ll be happy to be wrong (because it means something better will have supplanted it). But I don’t think there’s a significantly-simpler, mature abstraction for doing container orchestration, than K8s. K8s’ main adv

Many devs at Google routinely use GPLv3 code, in GNU Emacs, to make an example. Unless you’re repackaging Grafana into an app bundle for customers to use, there’s no violation occurring here, right?
