I laughed out loud when the author wrote 'it replaced nano'. So you are claiming to have tried dozens of editors, discarded them, only to land on nano as your daily driver? If that's true, this person must be a character.

I try not to assume malice (i.e. Hanlon's Razor) when it happens to me. Unfortunately the mob rule seen on other user-curated sites seems to be infectious. I try to gently call it out here when I see it, though, because HN is the one u

I know discussing HN behavior is off topic, but parent's comment is a perfect example of something unpopular that adds to conversation. We shouldn't use votes to squelch opinions we don't hold. We should use them to improve t

Yeah, macros are definitely helpful at times, but not as much as one might think. I think the same goes for multi-cursor, though.

Exactly the same for me. So far, there have been many challengers but the same champion (subjective, I know).

I would say that people outside of tech aren't aware of the implications and potential use of the data. Once people realize, they begin to reject. This is why I mentioned the superbowl ad and it shouldn't be waved away as an outli

They are people of very similar mentality, with opposing sensibilities. The rest navigate quietly, bobbing in the rippling wakes of their passionate fighting.

Well, that depends on whether the technology requires expertise that is rare and/or hard to acquire. I'd say that using AI tools effectively to create software systems is in that class currently, but it isn't necessarily alwa

These types of takes are getting really tiring. The game isn't over, just the metagame. I'm not saying I have the next metagame figured out, but AI doesn't magically solve all the worlds problems by existing. It likely even c

I really liked the show despite Lee Pace's performance. Pace really nails the intense Jobs vibe, but having seen his other work, it seems like it might not be 100% acting. There's consistency to the off feeling he gives across

All you've said here is that you (and many others) have shown in the past that they've valued convenience and rapid feature development over freedom and stability. That is good to understand, but when that trade starts causing iss

First, in the U.S., privacy laws vary by state, so the blanket statement about 'the US' is incorrect. Second, laws are made by people. The fact that many of us do not want to be recorded 24/7 is why it is worth discussing.

Part of the problem here is that people who love it are affecting people who do not. If you want to put cameras to record inside your home, fine, but this is people recording their neighbors without consent. The sales pitch is finding Fido,

Nobody tries to jail the automobile being driven when it hits a pedestrian when on cruise control. The driver is responsible for knowing the limits of the tool and adjusting accordingly.

My time with Vi/Vim is similar, measured in decades. There's a lot in Vim, and there's no requirement to be a tech maximalist. Settling at core features is not being a noob.

I'll second this. I've used this action to debug builds, and it works beautifully. However, I've had to stop because the action isn't a 'verified' action and corporate policy. I'd love to see github themse

Your actual job is to produce positive outcomes for your stakeholders. Code can be part of that, but doesn't have to be. If you are dumping AI slop on your team to sort through, you are creating drag on the entire team's efforts

Is the 'regex hater club' subtitle related to using regex to 'parse' rather than using something like tree-sitter that actually parses? I also had a hard time understanding the context given just the link.

Depends on the problem at hand. Zig where I used to use C/Rust (but admittedly I spent the least time here). Go where I used to use Java. Bun/Node for typescript/javascript, where each is appropriate, but I favor Bun for stan

Years ago, when I initially picked up Rust, I loved it. It does a lot of things right. At the same time, though, I knew there was a possibility of it going wrong in two opposite directions: 1. Developers balked at being required to take on
