Appreciate it. I don’t use Twitch or watch popular streamers, but sometimes when I’m bored I look up small streamers with 1–3 viewers and chat with them. It’s usually pretty wholesome.

Good luck to them, my private repos are probably some of the worst code humanity has produced.

I use AI daily, currently paying for Claude Code, Gemini and Cursor. It really helps me on my personal toy projects, it’s amazing at getting a POC running and validate my ideas.

My company just had internal models that were mediocre at best, but at the beginning this year they finally enabled Copilot for everyone.

At the beginning I was really excited for it, but it’s absolutely useless for work. It just doesn’t work on big old enterprise projects. In an enterprise environment everything is composed of so many moving pieces, knowledge scattered across places, internal terminology, etc. Maybe in the future, with better MCP servers or whatever, it’ll be possible to feed all the context into it to make it spit something useful, but right now, at work, I just use AI as search engine (and it’s pretty good at it, when you have the knowledge to detect when it have subtle problems)

I don't know why so many people are saying that this is bad code.

Besides the redundant checks, it's really simple, so simple that an intern, maybe even someone who doesn't code, can understand and update it.

It's performant, most compilers will cache the strings.

People trying to justify more complex one-liners with "what if you change the symbol, or just show 5 characters" etc. These scenarios wouldn't take more than 5 minutes to adapt this code, and anyone could do it.

For me, this code with a good set of tests doesn't get much better.

Handy to have notes, tasks and calendar in one place. But $120/y seems a bit expensive when compared with another productivity tools.

A guy that was so good at shooting balls that stopped a civil war for 48 hours just by playing a game.

This is exactly one of to reasons to guess that Mbappe will achieve this. Even if he, as individual, get injuried or worse at playing, France still has an incredibly strong young generation.

Same experience. For me Finder is simply unusable, not sure if I'm not used to it but the experience is terrible for me. So I prefer to do everything through the terminal or use some TUI like https://github.com/jarun/nnn

The only time that I have to interact with the UI is when I have to do something on System Settings, which is also dreadful.

In my experience, Rectangle is just an app to organize apps like Windows does, hotkeys to move somewhere.

Yabai is a more complete windows manager. It has some features like:

- Automatic Tiling, Stack or Floating windows

- Shortcuts to move between windows based on position (like other tiling wms)

- Create, move and destroy workspaces

- Move apps to specific workspaces

- Windows borders

Plus it integrates really well with https://github.com/Jean-Tinland/simple-bar

Exactly the same here. One day, once again my ThinkPad stopped sleeping and the sound started clacking.

I decided it was enough for me and I bought a Mac. There are still some design choices from MacOS that I don't get, things I wish I could customize, but I definetely don't regret my decision.

I also choose to not disable SIP. The only thing that I miss is being able to disable animations, besides that I'm using it just fine, not as good as i3 but good enough for me.

In the case of MapleStory, in the past much of the game logic used to happen in the client side, that's why it was easier to reverse it (And create cheats for it).

In many other games that have private servers: If there was no codebase leak, basically guessing what you can't know. That's why many private servers doesn't work 1:1 when compared to the official servers, people just tried to make the calculations as close as possible after reversing it.

I also recently migrated from nvim to VSCode (First with vim plugin, now with vscode-neovim plugin).

Probably I have the wrong mindset, but I've always tried to replicate a full IDE experience on nvim, and it was a frustrating experience because there was always something else missing, at the end I had to manage 30+ Plugins that could break at any time.

Even though the vim experience inside VSCode is far from perfect (really lacking when we compare with IdeaVim for example), it's a breath of fresh air being able to manage my plugins/lsp/etc with a single click.

The only thing that I miss daily is something like Telescope/fzf. VSCode fuzzy search works fine for file names inside the open project, but searching for file content/other projects/previous open files is really bad.

Recently tried to develop something similar on vscode just for fun (Even I don't use it tho, just accepted the limitation): https://github.com/jpcrs/Binocular

Bought a XPS 15 2020 at the release, wifi didn't work and trackpad was terribly wobbly. Tried to return it two days after delivery and then the nightmare began.

For some reason Dell kept saying that I was a business and refused to accept the returned package (apparently business doesn't have the 14 days return policy?), I had to waste 5+ hours in the phone talking with multiple people, trying to prove that I'm a normal costumer, at the end I literally had to send a picture of the delivery address showing that it was my house and not an office, after that they decided to accept the return.

I'll never get any product from Dell again.

Could you share which apps please?

Hey ropeladder, sorry for the plug comment. Saw your comment in the Kinesis Advantage topic about your trigger finger condition and would like to know how it evolved.

If possible, could you contact me through jpcrs at pm.me? Cheers

In one blatant example, Eleftheriou said he was approached by Apple’s head of mobile keyboard technology, Randy Marsden. The latter (who created the Swype keyboard) wanted to buy FlickType to add a native QWERTY for the Apple Watch and improve typing on the device. When Eleftheriou rejected Apple, it refused to remove copycat and scam apps from the App Store.

I think he lost his chance.
