   I feel it when I'm at a keyboard with no wrist rest, but having my palms raised a couple of centimetres means my watch strap isn't in contact with the desk at all.

   I love this! I've had the 'Web colors' Wikipedia page in my bookmarks for years. I often use them when I'm working on new designs and want to experiment on responsive layouts with colourful test elements.

   Oh hi. Unrelated to this tool but I use fnm every day and it's fantastic. First time I used it it ran so quickly I thought it wasn't working properly. Thanks for your hard work.

   I tried vimwiki for a while but I found I used a tiny subset of its functionality and couldn't get it to respect my choice of syntax highlighting for markdown. It set me off in the right direction though. The fact that it's _just_

   I found watching Kevin Powell's intro on YouTube really helpful. I already had a basic understanding of grid before watching it, but this helped me make sense of the snippets I'd pieced together in my brain over the last couple of

   Even if sed and grep are available their weird syntax is enough to make people write modern replacements. I don't care if they're not 100% feature complete, the fact I can remember how to use them for my simple everday tasks (sear

    Sorry only just saw this. Thanks for the tips. Thankfully I'm in no rush to move out of my current home (I'll have a 2 month overlap) so plenty of time to get the 'infrastructure' stuff done first.

    It definitely is. You just need to look at some Mastodon conversations from non-tech Twitter. People are confused about: * there are so many servers - which do I join? * how will I be able to tell people are who they say they are without th

    I love my 50mm f/1.8. I've used it so much over the years and it produces beautiful shots. I also have an old 50mm f/1.4 (which can be had for a steal[0]) and while it's nowhere near as sharp, it has a really dreamy qual

    I'm moving into my new home (which was built in 1962) in the next month or two. My plan is to run cat 6 throughout, before I get the bulk of my stuff/furniture in. Hopefully I won't need to smash into too many walls but there

    I think you can get most of the first three of your requirements from TreeSitter and LSP. The treesitter context plugin ( https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context ) provides the package/class/

    My setup is very similar to the one described in the post, but I switched to neovim for the TreeSitter and LSP. Still, after all these years it's Tim Pope's plugins and fzf that make my editing experience so quick and fun. I could

    I'm a huge fan of esbuild. Whether it's 'the best' at everything or not, our build process is now so simple I can understand it with barely any effort. Webpacker never gave me that confidence. Not mentioning speed at all

    dnf is annoyingly slow but it's greatly improved via DNF Automatic. I just let it keep itself in sync and apply security updates automatically. https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/automatic.html

    This looks really promising. I love seeing these tools written in languages other than the thing they're targeting. As an example I use fnm ( https://github.com/Schniz/fnm ) for managing JavaScript versions. It runs

    Similarly for me, I switched my dad to my old Dell XPS which came pre-installed with Ubuntu. He's on Fedora and it's been running fine for about 4-5 years, across multiple (automatic) version upgrades. The only thing I've had

    I've been using ViewComponent for about three years now, it's really maturing well. I wouldn't hesitate using it in any Rails project. It perfectly bridges the gap between helpers and partials and makes testing miles easier.

    For the most part it works for me, but there are some definite rough edges. For example, I had to disable suspend because sometimes it doesn't wake properly. I need to reboot to make it work again. The fact I needed to enable a bunch o

    Fedora nails the basics. Nice installer, unadulterated GNOME, well-stocked official repos and easy to add third party ones. That's all I want these days. The only negative thing I have to say about my day to day Linux use is caused by

    So I use neovim as my editor, I'm familiar with fugitive but only use it for blaming. I just prefer switching to my git tab in tmux and using the cli or tig deepening on what I'm doing.
