I do as well and I also cherry pick a lot specifically with —no-commit to pull together disparate ideas from various sources. I am always fascinated when git usage comes up in threads because there are so many ways people use it that differ from my own and we all seem to find value in it!

I can confirm it is not just you. I’ve had similar experiences in other subreddits. Eventually I just stopped trying because it’s super demoralizing trying to navigate the myriad of rules in each subreddit.

IIRC the mascot is a lizard so here the comment is portraying a Zig enthusiast keen on promoting the ease of learning Zig as a lizard. That was my take.

This is great advice. I also try to make incremental gains in projects as it is the one way I’ve experienced consistent progress. This includes things like learning handstands as a project. A little bit of forward progress is better than no progress. I’ve heard it said it’s like putting pennies (or similar currency) into a savings account. It never seems like much but over time it adds up. The hardest thing for me was recognizing the value in those pennies. Ego, insecurity, etc want the big cathartic jump in progress.

Thanks for sharing this perspective. We have a 9yo and it's already the case some of her classmates have devices that are connected to social media. Very handy advice!

Is it me or does this article seem “off”. The verbatim repetition of the thesis multiple times makes me think this wasn’t written by a person.

I wish I could upvote more than once. Thanks for this perspective!

Seconding Sublime Merge. I've been using it since it was launched and it has been a solid tool.

I second this. I would include The Go Programming Language as well. I will buy any book the Kernighan has had a hand in writing.

If for no other reason than simplified debugging I find there is value. Maybe I’m old but if you have more than one UUID involved in the debugging I’m more likely to trip up than just integers.

Just seconding this as a sane way to use UUIDs IME. Basically the sequential integer PK is the “internal ID”. IIRC in SQLite regardless of type or existence of PK there is a private sequential integer. Super handy pattern to use.

Seconding this recommendation. Bob (author) did such an amazing job of that book. I proudly display it in my office. The illustrations alone are worth the cost.

I second your opinion that learning to write an interpreter is a great idea at some point in a career. It definitely helped me gain a new level of understanding and, well, confidence in my knowledge of how pretty much any language “works”. It makes everything more interesting, too!

I second this. It is amazing the level of thought that went into the game design.

I agree on this approach. It's essentially the same strategy that was touted for scoring high on the LSAT back when I took. The key was being able to identify the solution strategy from the finite set of problem types then quickly apply it with muscle memory.

I also struggle to find just the right light theme. I really enjoy the subtle colors in yours. Often I find accents and somtiemes primary color choices to be too intense against a sepia background.

My memory isn’t what it used to be but I recall that the Bond Spacesuit character did have the ability to jump. I have the original cartridge and a somewhat functional N64. I’ll rig it up today and verify.

Thanks for sharing! This is an awesome tool. I also like seeing it is written in Ada. I don’t often find open source tools I like to use written in Ada. Super well organized, too!

yield_self is an less elegant way to achieve basically the same thing as |>.

We pay 180 USD a month for a phone line and DSL from Century Link. This connection is 1.5 mbps down and 500 kbps up in practice (advertised speeds are higher). Starlink has been a game changer for us.

I completely agree with the sentiment but also feel like it is just my bias because I enjoy writing compilers.

I also have both and prefer the Moonlander. I like the adjustable thumb keys, integrated wrist supports, and smaller size compared to the Ez. That said, the Ez is a GREAT keyboard.

Source?

For sure there are alot of things missing like you mention.

Another I find personally frustrating is so many libraries assume you are using the Material stack.

RE: JSON--I have used json_serializable in the past: https://pub.dev/packages/json_serializable. For my current project, I am using a data format I created call Traindown (https://traindown.com) and it's all local so I haven't hit JSON or SSH/SFTP issues personally.

Sorry I don't have a silver bullet suggestion for ya! I'm sure they don't hate you personally. Maybe all of us as collective "users" but not YOU! haha

I would definitely recommend the author look at Flutter again now. The comment there was back in July. The desktop experience has greatly improved. I have been building out a desktop-first set of components and it's been a real joy to work with.

It is still very new but Flutter desktop support looks promising. I've been toying with it in my free time and it is very easy to get up and running.

Definitely prefacing this with the fact I use “just” a text editor and terminal so obviously I am biased.

I couldn’t agree with you more. I feel like at some point in a career, a developer should try to shove off from an IDE if that is their daily driver.

I also feel this way about high level languages.

Speaking personally, I have ALWAYS benefited by doing those uncomfortable deep dives.

That makes a ton of sense. The process of dissimulation that we go through as children just to be able to map language to our environment sounds like this. Once an experience is categorized we likely don't have the CPU spin up on the next similar experience. Business as usual. No need to make a note in memory about it.

VAIO were a solid computers (at least my memory of them).

I would have killed to have Vista on my VAIO. I had Windows ME on it! Despite th
at fact, it still sits among my most beloved computers that I have owned. It was also the first that I had purchased new whereas all the previous ones were hand-me-downs.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

This is exactly how I envision the process. My two passions in my personal life are writing code and lifting weights. If I squint hard enough, the shape of each is oddly similar.
