I gave Zellij a shot a few months ago. It really felt too "modal" for me though. I've been a Vim user forever so I'm not exactly modal-averse. But TMUX has always felt more like Operator Pending mode in Vim. Having Zelli

I agree. It's also true of nearly any program. If you do not set its configuration properly, it may not work as expected. In the case of TMUX, it can be a bit annoying because it's not immediately apparent _why_ things look wonky.

I was an OMZ user pretty much since I adopted ZSH many years ago. I never really experienced much of the slowdown(s) that people tend to complain about. Even still, getting my dotfiles set up on a new machine was always a little bit of pain

Definitely Mise! I was an asdf user for a couple of years and Mise was such a nice replacement. I have to juggle several other languages, and each having its own tool for tool version management was a non-starter.

If anyone is building using experimental features that are either flagged or unflagged in Chrome, that's NOT on Chrome. For example, if I built a feature based on Chrome's weird Observables, sure, I could do it... it would work no

I did this once! I was given a "create Battleship" take-home assignment. Normally, I'd say, "yeah, I don't have time for this". But I happen to really like that game and had never thought of how to model it in

Isn't this kinda the idea behind TinaCMS? Using git/files instead of a database? It's been a long time since I've looked. The "sweet spot" really depends on the use case. If you're wanting to give content

Oh absolutely! I'm just mentioning why CSV is chosen over Protobufs.

Extremely hard to tell an HR person, "Right-click on here in your Workday/Zendesk/Salesforce/etc UI and export a protobuf". Most of these folks in the business world LIVE in Excel/Spreadsheet land so a CSV feel

I'm guessing the poster is referring to AOSP and custom ROMs. If so, yes, it is entirely possible, but not something I'd expect any normal human being to do.

Having worked in the graphic design industry during the 90's, no. There's no way I'd have just slipped a font I didn't own on a disk and sent it off to a printer. When it comes to fonts for coding... sure there was that

Just here to bask in the nostalgia. I hit up bash.org from time to time just to remember what was... and what will probably never be again.

The entire JVM ecosystem is built around "we all know you're using an IDE, right?" I among most folks who use Kotlin are aware of the Community Edition of IntelliJ. The price isn't the thing keeping me from using it. 1.

Oh no doubt it's my favorite backend way to build an API. Just toss in SpringBoot or Quarkus and it's very nice. The only thing that bothers me is that it's a pain to use with NeoVim.

Kotlin really got lucky with Google choosing it for Android dev. While Google is known for relegating some of its tech to the dust bin, Android is too big at the moment. Flutter + Dart was a little surprising though. If they hadn't cho

I just had this same thought this morning. I sure do with OCaml was far more popular. Right now, if you're planning a startup, you want something that you can just snap together a bunch of well-tested libraries. You want DB libraries,

I've had a few hits from recruiters lately that mention Ruby on Rails. My experience in the Salt Lake City valley was that several successful businesses started with that stack and now it's just sort of "entrenched". Som

XP was the last that I really REALLY used. I've had Windows 7 (on my work machine that I didn't use) and I have a Windows 10 machine that I boot from time to time when I want to mess with recording gear. But I kinda fell into &quo

I've worked for multiple shops that basically just moved to Java 8 and then bolted an anchor to the nearest pylon. A few made one move to JDK 11 for the "LTS" experience. I can understand their reluctance to move on as the mo

I think it speaks to an incredibly pragmatic viewpoint though. When you take a look at your flagship language/ecosystem and you say, "hey, this is great for building entire systems for doctor/patient data... or perhaps even b

I find these oddities far more realistic than the Wat video from a long time ago. Many of the things in that video had me asking, "sure but...what programmer would blindly try these things and then be shocked when they didn't work

For me it's the metal studs in my walls. WiFi reception is truly awful. Fortunately it was prewired with Cat5e. But that will need to be replaced some day.

I truly enjoy the Primeagen. I've watched him since he started on Twitch. I don't ever really see him pushing any particular agendas at all. Mostly he's either trying new things, or working on projects. That's pretty muc

But it's based on the fetch standard and formData submission. You're literally running a server that handles those two things.

I get why you might feel that way. Ryan and Michael used to run a company based around React training. They created React Router which some people love to complain about. They've since moved over to working for Shopify. Shopify pays fo

While that is possible, I think a good manager recognizes these pitfalls. My philosophy is "everyone has to scrub toilets once in awhile - that includes me". You'd have to ask my direct reports but, I'd like to say I lea

This is assuming that many of the folks who put their time and effort into the Linux kernel would have instead worked on Hurd. The thing is, nothing was stopping them from making that choice - other than maybe the popularity of Linux. I wou

LinModem for me! I got my US Robotics 33.6 (with X2 software upgrade-ability) working and was so amazed. Then my dad's ISP got rid of a bunch of external serial 56k modems and I was in heaven. Those "just worked". Oddly, it w

It definitely feels like JetBrains won this battle. I used NetBeans for Rails development of all things (JRuby).
