It does take some patience, but once it clicks, it's just awesome.

I work for a SW house where we specialize in projects such as this (as far as I can tell from your description). We have very experienced people, and are well-known in our niche (we are big on Clojure, which gives us a lot of leverage for p

Exactly, there's no rationale given, nor any practical example of where this would be useful. Mutability is already a source of complexity, adding time-traveling to it seems like it would just make it worse...

That's a clear case of the Blub paradox, man... Multiple cursors can be useful, but the Vim editing model goes way beyond that. If you're not interested, that's cool, but it's really your loss.

D2 has a very good layout engine (tala), but its use requires a paid license. The other two engines aren't nearly as good.

I was having a similar issue with a ca2015 Macbook Pro, new things wouldn't work without updating the OS to whatever the new flavor is. It now happily runs EndeavourOS...

Not only copy/paste, but have notifications shared both ways, use your computer as a phone laptop, use the phone as a trackpad/mouse, and much more. It just works.

It's definitely heavier than Markdown's, but then again, it can do a lot more... In practice, if you're using Emacs, it doesn't really matter, because you can just insert a code block, and specify the language (if you&#x

Arguably, org-mode provides a "better markdown", but it's decidedly more niche.

The learning curve is not so steep, as long as you don't try to learn ALL OF EMACS upfront. Just start using it for your basic editing, learn how to open/save files, how to navigate, buffer management, as you go. When you need som

> Sublime text was my first "in the middle" text editor, more featured than vim/emacs, I've never used sublime, how is it "more featured" than either Vim, or (especially) Emacs?

Tracing debuggers give you the best of both worlds. I've recently started using Flow-storm [0], by @jpmonettas), and it's been quite transformative. You can still easily see the values flowing through your system (better than just

Definitely, this...

I wonder what kind of stuff you're working on, that this makes you 4x more productive. For my work (stream processing, analytics, in Clojure), it's useless, AFAICT.

I routinely write in English, Spanish, French, and Finnish, and I code several hours a day. For me, the best layout (other than my Dactyl Manuform's, which is layered) is the standard ANSI US, with a compose key. The compose key gives

For microservice tracing, you might want to look at Zipkin [0], or OpenTelemetry [1] [0] https://zipkin.io/ [1] https://opentelemetry.io/docs/

PlantUML also has a nice library for C4 model diagrams available [0], which I've found very useful. [0] https://github.com/plantuml-stdlib/C4-PlantUML

This is the first Lamport paper I read (over 20 years ago now), and it has stuck with me since then, it's so clearly explained...

La Rochefoucauld was a genius... His "Maximes" are definitely worth reading.

The layers do take a bit of time to get used to, but they become transparent, after a while. As for punctuation locations, I've exploited that to my advantage, I have brackets and braces (which I use a lot of, for Clojure) just next to

I built a Dactyl Manuform about 2.5 years ago, and it's holding up well, there hasn't been any degradation (even with it shuffling back and forth between office and home daily). I would recommend it to anyone, really. After a coup

It's not about speed, it's about ergonomics. Minimizing finger movement is a good thing.

I've been using the CAPS LOCK as both Control (on hold) and Escape (tap) for years now, and it's just wonderful. I even kept a similar setup when I built my Dactyl Manuform (one of the large thumb keys is both Control and Escape).

I'm from South America, and have lived in Europe for over 20 years, and I use a US layout, with compose key. It gives trivial access to accents and more, without the annoyance of different layouts (I used AZERTY for years while living

I don't particularly like Java (but I did love it back in 98 or so when I came across it, coming from C++), but it's mostly due to the proliferation of OO monstrosities created by architecture astronauts. The language itself is ok

You're one step away from loving Clojure... the quasi-official motto is "it's just data", and the resulting code tends to be simple and short.
