Can you elaborate on "Linux is better for development"? Guessing it can only come down to differences in apt and brew and not much more (not that this couldn't be reason enough)? edit: this article mentioned MacOS and Linux a

Is there a popular convention for using something like this or cygwin, in that it has its own $HOME, and I have a buncha dotfiles in my Windows user home? Possibly just symlinking it all over to MSYS $HOME? I am definitely happy about being

This looks really promising. Thanks. And Git for windows is using mintty, which is a terminal emulator for cygwin, msys, and msys2, but I'm not really sure what is being provided/used. A buncha unix tools and definitely not a pack

For any Windows devs that happen to use vim inside of mintty (that comes with downloading git), you'll discover that installing fzf doesn't work out so well. It'd be fine on cygwin, surely. In mintty, though, it'll yell

I just bought a Roland JD-XI and not having an understanding of music theory I was looking for anything that talked about What Sounds Good and Why. I'd like to read more without really diving into music theory too far.

I was looking for some other 80x24 roguelikes accessible via SSH and stumbled across this. You can of course play all of these over your own VPS, but I wanted this for high score reasons. The games and what's shared are: * ADOM: shared

Doesn't it also just genuinely feel more sluggish to you? Just installed Nightly to test this feature out, and then took another minute to use the developer tools to do some debugging, and the whole experience felt less smooth. Maybe o

The only movement that got me hung up was taking the very top standalone tab (Fnts 100), going to move it, and then trying to return it to the top as a standalone tab. The way I discovered to do it was a series of additional moves. Obviousl

It looks nice and works well, except for the few things I found: Clicking into a link expands it making editing very easy. I think the same should happen for images. I click the example "boom" image and it just focuses it. I can r

There are definite advantages to just doing what you do. I like classic markdown syntax more. Things like #foo instead of = foo =. But I particularly like some of the ways vimwiki functions. I like that I can type project_notes and hit <

I still use vimwiki. It has a few warts, but since I'm comfortable with it (as in when you learn some of the leader commands, it becomes more powerful) and files are saved to Dropbox, it makes work and home note taking convenient. It&#

I think the "bad rep" might be (in my own part of the world) that they are overpriced for the quality. The quality is good, that is true with the Bose system in my 2001 Maxima, but it is probably not a bang for buck equivalent of
