This looks cool. FWIW I’m not a Django guy, but pulled up the site (djangoproject.com) out of curiosity to compare it to Plain. One thing that stood out to me was this: > Ridiculously fast. > Django was designed to help developers tak

Amen. Having dabbled in martial arts and had the good pleasure of hitting my mid thirties, his ability to win at 48 is nothing short of jaw dropping. Shouldn’t be possible.

The elephant in the room though is Europe. Trump wants Europe to step up and act more independently. Pay their fair share for NATO. Increase their active militaries. Here's another fact to remember: Trump told Europe to kill Nord str

Trump speaks very, very plainly. He is certainly discursive. He most certainly goes back and forth on a few things, sometimes because he changes his mind other times because he is negotiating/trolling/etc. But the main problem isn

No, I would fight them tooth and nail. As would any member of an invaded country. Duh. But, if after several years a generation of my peers have been killed and I don't see a logic end to this war any time soon, well then I might start

Read my whole reply. I literally addressed that at the end. Read the whole thing before you dismiss something.

> The war started in 2014 Exactly! This is the key. Why do you think Trump was the first US president that didn’t see Putin mount an offensive during his term? Trump armed Ukraine to the teeth during his first term, while being sure not

Well, here come the downvotes, but for anybody who thinks that it is completely believable that Trump is a Russian stooge or is “on Russias side” let me offer this up: - We want peace. Full stop. No more dead men, women, and children. THAT

I’m so happy to see the regulation UI laid out. Congress was the original legislative body, I.e. makes laws. This is great as it makes them accountable to what they do. A law I don’t like is passed? Well then I check to see how many senator

That first paragraph (in your HN comment, not the blog post) would have read better with zero periods. Glad to see one of my favorite blogs is still active. I was starting to get a little worried. The first two blogs currently listed, McC

Re creativity, Tailwind is an interesting social experiment of sorts. To be clear, I love it! But it does provide a window into how humans interact with creativity. I recall first coming upon Tailwind after Bootstrap had thoroughly saturate

To creatively code one must first in fact code . I went deep down the IDE->AI rabbit hole. They are amazing tools. However, I have settled into a bare-bones Sublime Text editing flow, wherein I pop into IDEs/AI as needed for one-

Thanks for the info! I was wondering if it was something more than speed, but what you said makes a lot sense. Love the "I am interacting" vs "I am requesting" way of putting it as it highlights just how dramatically dif

I just added a "Open In Cursor" plugin: https://github.com/spencerchristensen/sublime-open-in-cursor It isn't on Package Control yet as I just submitted the PR. I made this as I love Sublime Text as a t

That’s definitely part of it. Though even before I start typing and am just looking at the characters on the screen, they seem more dense, tactile, and real. Is there a categorical difference for how Sublime renders text vs other editors ou

by scop 2y ago
So glad to see this. I have been down a long road of text editors: - Sublime - Vim - Emacs - Atom - VSCode - Jetbrains IDE - Neovim - Zed - Cursor And these aren’t just little flings. I’ve spent months if not years in most of these editors.

First of all we foster a very strong community of likeminded friends from school, church, and other activities. We don’t all see eye to eye on every little thing, but we have generally the same goal. Second of all is that we talk to our kid

My kids play Minecraft and Sonic all the time these days. The key is my kids have developed a sense of how some things are different than others and that is good and also bad. It’s a system that allows and encourages discussion.

Good question. Yes they can play. The main absolute no-go activity with friends is something with exploration on the internet. That includes things like YT kids. But, hey you want to play Smash Bros even though we don’t at home, sure have f

Heh, you’re indeed right. I use analog in a very loose sense, perhaps better said as “tactile”. As in “I take a CD out of the case, I open my player, I put the CD in the case, I use physical buttons to move one track at a time”.

by scop 2y ago
Four thoughts: 1. I've developed a analog->digital path for my kids. Before they can get a music player, they get a CD player. Before they get video games, they get board games. And then, for video games, before they get Super Mario

It made me extremely distrustful of any and all interactions I would have with an employee. Is every email I send to my rep going to turn into an upsell? Are they being straight with me in answering my question?

I hate Datadog. We use their name as an epithet at our company for how not to sell/market. Their selling tactics circa 2015-2018 completely burned us out. Endless calls and emails. The icing on the cake was an AWS reInvent presentation

One of the most eye opening moments in my junior dev career was when I found a really nifty way to achieve an operation using SQL alone and brought it to our VP (start up, small company size). It wasn’t esoteric, but used some SQL feature

I reacted to this title the way I react a new menu item at Taco Bell: a strange mixture of desire, shame, and admiration for human ingenuity.

I remember switching from bash to zsh a few years back and thinking I was the bees knees. After the switch trying other shells seemed like bike-shedding because, I mean, what more could a shell? Then I got a new computer and decided to star

I have jumped around over my career: Sublime -> Vim -> Emacs -> VSCode -> Neovim -> Cursor, which is now my daily driver. However, I still relish in the ability to open up a nerfed Sublime or basic Vim install where it’s just
