Wow, I’ve been a vim user for like 8+ years and didn’t know about 0p even though I run into that problem all the time. I had even re-bound yank/paste to use a different register. Thanks for the pointer! This is what I love about vim, t

So, an employer can opt out, but can an employee opt out? It’s their data, after all.

After reading through the Unison tour [0] with an open mind, I actually think it makes excellent use of existing tools through its "scratch files" approach [1]. The gist of it is that you can check out sections of code that you wa

That’s excellent! Do you have a video? I would love to see it in action.

What would this type of support encompass? Is it limited to things like “Blender is crashing with this file, please help”, or would it include things like “this particle system is using all of my memory, am I doing something wrong”?

Seriously, give it a shot if you haven’t already. It’s dead simple to install and “just works.”

Is it ironic that Amjad’s last tweet before this post hit the front page links to a hashtag on his website where people are building clones of famous games like Bejeweled, Mario, and Zelda? https://twitter.com/amasad/st

The biggest issue we’ve had with Blender is performance in any non-trivial scene, both in-viewport and while rendering. We’re constantly experiencing bottlenecks that appear to be coming from single-threaded operations. It’s very frustratin

I can’t read the whole article, but did this deal include the entire Stack Exchange network or just Stack Overflow?

It seems like it would make sense for teams that would prefer an on-prem or privately hosted solution without paying enterprise rates. It’s also probably cheaper for teams in general depending on how much work it takes to install and admini

I highly recommend “A half-hour to learn Rust” if you’re interested in Rust but haven’t tried it yet. The article is very engaging with many small snippets that make sense to a person with a good programming background but no specific Rust

I got my beta invite last month. I messed around with it for about 30-45 minutes, only to discover that I had already blown through half of my allocated “trial credits”. This really killed my motivation to keep tinkering with the product.

What is the rationale for giving such a tax break? That seems ridiculous.

I did this exact same thing!! I was probably 10. It scared the hell out of me and I’ve respected capacitors ever since.

I was an XMonad user during the time that Arch switched from statically linked Haskell packages to dynamically linked and oh my god was that a nightmare. Other than that I’ve had far, far fewer issues with Arch than any other distro I’ve us

I think they are referring to PFASs [0] which have been a popular topic on HN for a while now. I’m not sure if the so-called perfluorocarbon emulsions in the original article would be classified as PFASs and/or carry the same risks, th

I’m glad to hear that. I’d heard a lot of good things about coc.nvim so I recently switched to it from languageclient-neovim. I have to say I am not very impressed. I don’t care for the configuration format, it’s not as flexible as I’d like

For me, the problem tabs solve isn’t finding the thing, but remembering the thing to find. Bookmarks solve the former, but tabs act as a collection of topics that I care about at a given point in time. While bookmarks accumulate over years
