Is that… a prank? That’s the most distractionful distractionless screen I recall seeing.

True. They’re just one of the largest companies who deliberately engineered their software to be addictive, the Sacklers of social media, if you will.

Those are both fantastic starting points. I wanted to get even more barebones, though, just for the experience of building it up myself from scratch. The options you mention are a far more practical approach than this. I’m just not feeling

Let’s not get carried away. Dolly was brilliant, inarguably. But no one is 1000x the songwriter of Johnny Freaking Cash, who was also estimated to have written over 1,000 songs for himself and for others. Let’s just agree that they’re bot

I think any dissent has to be from the kind of person who just has to find something wrong with everything. I cannot imagine a legitimate criticism of her program to give free books to every kid.

Reading this made me choke up. That’s beautiful.

I'm willing to look the other way when N=1, and 0..n is a small number of values on an indexed column. As others have pointed out, sometimes it's difficult to merge two queries like `get_item_list()` and `get_items()` located in d

This isn't algebraic. Going from one to many queries may be arithmetically the same as going from many to many plus one queries, but operationally, the implications are different.

Let's not even waste time thinking about that cretin when we have someone much better, and something sadder, to consider at the moment.

Even if, say, hypothetically, that I agreed with you, we don't need to bring up that name in association with this perfect angel of a lady on this sad day. Let's just say that she's a wonderful person and an excellent example

Same. lsp-mode's quite nice, to be sure, but eglot's also excellent and it's been completely sufficient for my needs.

Side note: I strongly prefer referring to this as the "1+N problem" as the author did here. I didn't understand what people were grousing about when they talked about "N+1". N+1: You're already doing N queries.

That's correct. But most of the time when I see that question lately, it's because people want to be sure the editor doesn't have "built-in AI", whatever that might happen to mean. For example, I've seen lots o

Lovely! I’ll check it out.

Why would you infer that? Magit’s great!

by kstrauser 1mo ago
It really is! For anyone who’d wanted to try Emacs but found it overwhelming, AI is game changing. BTW, I’ve been using Emacs for like 30 years. I’m comfy with it. The bankruptcy is more about throwing out an old config that’s gotten big an

That would be news to me if it wasn’t what I already said, that iOS Firefox isn’t the same as Android Firefox.

Not really, no. Zed’s a fine editor and I have nothing but good to say about it. I just happen to prefer Emacs more. Its keystrokes are burned into my muscle memory. And because its config files are literally executable code, there’s nothin

by kstrauser 1mo ago
They also don’t allow you to install Windows executables. They do allow you to run adblockers designed for Safari, like Wipr, and there are any number of noscript-alikes, like StopTheScript. I’m not saying that to be snarky, but to say that

Furthermore, the SBC believes that you have to have a personal relationship with God, but doesn't obligate you to join any church. If you go there and "get saved", then never return, they'll still be delighted that they

Between treesitter and eglot (read: LSP), there’s not much from other editors I miss when using Emacs. I’ve been on a Zed kick for a while but I hear the call of the GNU. This may be the week I declare .emacs bankruptcy and start again with

I think that's true of just darn near everything. People are tribal and tend to get uncomfortable when people around them change: * Their political parties * Their religions * Their diets (meat => vegan, or vice versa) * Their music

JW was the first one I thought of by that definition. I was raised Southern Baptist. When I stopped going, the church contacted me a couple of times to say they missed us and asked if everything was OK, and to say they'd love to have u

Correct. My dad was unamused when he bought me an Amiga, and it didn’t have enough RAM to load the advertised features of AmigaBASIC and the speech synthesizer at the same time.

That’s the greatest manual I’ve ever touched. It taught me a huge chunk of what I know about hardware, from bitmap graphics to assembler and addressing modes, to IO. I knew that if you wanted to make your BASIC programs go faster, you wrote
