   I'm an iTerm user as well, but I hardly use any of its features -- I stick with it primarily because its font rendering is better than any other terminal I've tried on macOS. My needs are pretty minimal and aren't terminal-de

   That's all 100% true, but at the same time, wading through and figuring out how to dodge all the issues that come with being in "the cathedral" requires increasingly more and more cognitive load as well. If both are full of l

   Congrats to the author, but I really can't stand Lua. It takes its commitment to simplicity too far IMO, especially with regards to tables not really specifying between (in Python terms) "dict-like" and "list-like"

   "Less useful" could also mean "more focused," which might just be a good thing.

    But whenever people talk about writing Bash, you always have someone advocating that you should write POSIX sh instead if you want maximum portability. To paraphrase Qui-Gon Jinn, "there's always a more portable language." Un

    I recently gave using a 2nd gen 11-inch iPad Air as my daily driver, and I gotta say I like it a lot more than I was expecting. I have a big beefy TrueNAS machine at home and run various Linux VMs for dev work, accessed via Tailscale; mosh-

    Are you seriously implying that Biden will institute the draft?

    Google Chat is underrated. My team uses Google Workspace so we’re experimenting with using Chat instead of Slack. So far so good.

    That has nothing to do with pyenv. Also, this really isn't a problem -- just blast out of the old venv, make a new one with a new version, and you're good.

    What's the problem? The repo clearly states that you need to install such and such build prerequisites. Also, the issues the article you link are things that damn near every programmer will eventually need to know. Things like PATH are

    Viewing things like wisdom, patience, discipline, and humility as both "soft" and "skills" is one of the single most problematic aspects of the tech industry.

    All the time! It's actually really nice to read this, as I always feel a bit lonely in this regard -- this perspective is unfortunately rare, it seems.

    This. And at a certain point, a prompt might become so specific that you might as well just write the code yourself. After all, a prompt is instructions for a computer, as is code.

    Fair, but: Whether or not the tech can actually live up to the hype doesn't mean execs/VCs/etc won't try to get there anyway. That will, at best, result in a ton of volatility, as those trying to utilize AI figure out th

    Give Orbstack a shot. VM installation is a total breeze, and its x86_64 Linux performance has been awesome for me.
