Soon… surely… any day now… not coping…

The “worst” part is it already works, just takes long to become as perfect as possible. See the showcases like filetree.webm.

Edit: track the broader discussions/progress at this wiki entry.

To you, @toothpaste_ostrich@feddit.nl, and anyone else planning to do the switch:

Back when I was still a VSC(odium) user, you needed to perform a small tweak to regain access to the quite useful extensions marketplace (in the sense of, paste the extension ID, see the same results as a M$ VSCode user*): There is a file named product.json which allows you to “regain” access if you populate it with the following values:

 json

    
{
  "extensionsGallery": {
    "serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery",
    "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items",
    "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index",
    "controlUrl": ""
  }
}

  

(Taken from my old dotfiles, so this may be outdated, not sure. Also, you’ll have to look up the location of this file, it will differ depending on OS. On macOS it goes in ~/Library/Application Support/VSCodium.)

*If you do not need this 1:1 identical functionality, you may try the Open VSX marketplace. But especially in a class setting, I found this very useful, since all the tutorials/instructions will work without needing adaptation.

Thanks!

I’ll add that onto my pile list of things to look into again once Helix gets its plugin functionality…

Edit: I’ve just ended up using Yazi from within Helix for this. :D

Am not a Neovim user. How do you make the lines show up next to the directory contents listing?

Wrong, correct answer is that it depends on the university.

Additionally, any mention of a word in a speech like that will result in an uptick in search usage – but that doesn’t let anyone quantify anything.

You’d see an uptick if only a single person over baseline average looked it up as a result of the speech, and everyone else understood it.

“X is trending in search because people don’t know it” is always a fallacy. See also: reporting on increased search for “who are the presidential candidates” a few days before the election.

… With the tradeoff being containers much more lightweight and having much less overhead than VMs…

Someone break this word down for me

Hilfe leistungs lösch gruppen fahrzeug

(technically i’d need to add capitalization and dashes when separating into full nouns)

help giving exterminating groups’ vehicle drive thing (as others in this thread have noted)

Das Hilfeleistungslöschgruppenfahrzeug der Feuerwehr […]

The aid-providing fire-fighting vehicle of the fire department

Es transportiert Feuerwehrleute, Leitern, Werkzeuge, Schläu[che…]

It transports firefighters, ladders, tools, hoses

Not gonna lie, it’s a bit over the top. Feuerwehrfahrzeug (fire dept’s truck) would’ve sufficed IMO. Nobody not working as a firefighter (and arguably not even all of those who do) knows let alone uses that long-form word.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism:

Socialism is an economic and political philosophy […] characterised by social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership.

I’m not gonna lie, I don’t think a common-good healthcare regulation or whatever housing plans fall under the definition.

Edit: there’s some merit to this you could’ve brought up, e.g. Germany’s mandating by law of some (limited) worker control in firms ≥500 employees in size (wikipedia link). But even that’s breaking with the definition, since it’s not about ownership, but rather a say in leading the company.

It’s a quote from (left) professor Richard Wolff. Link

Edit: had gotten the first name wrong

it’s so easy to host an ActivityPub server oneself

Tell that to the 60+ y/o’s in charge who dread email.

Hell, at this point I’d be content with gov’t institutions using a literal blog website for stuff like this… as long as it’s publicly accessible.

edit: who downvotes this? state your reasons? have you talked to the average office worker 50+? at least where i live, the situation is looking pretty bleak with regard to “tech” (read: basic computing) task understanding/fondness/preference…

My real issue with Python comes with managing a development environment when multiple developers are working on it. Dependency management in Python is a headache, and while in theory, virtual envs should help with synchronizing environments from machine to machine, I still find it endlessly fiddly with a bunch of things that can go wrong that are hard to diagnose.

Late to the party, but a serious suggestion; give uv for Python dev env/package management and ruff (or Black, for that matter, if you’re not using a formatter yet like some others here in the comments) for linting/formatting a shot.

They’re great and feel magical to use if you’ve known the pain experience of not having them.

Trump wouldn’t know. That’s the point.

Which aspects about it do you dislike?

I’m asking since for most everything – except maybe the fact it’s Electron-based – there’s an extension, or the behavior can already be altered in the settings.

Also, IDK how your workplace handles application management, but if you have any freedom as a developer (if that is your role?), make sure to get a package manager, presumably Homebrew or MacPorts.
Brew especially isn’t perfect, but brew install <name> handily beats out any installation method containing the words “App Store” or “Browser download button.”

You have to apply some (from time to time well-hidden) tweaks to macOS until it becomes usable. :P

Use TextEdit for .txt and .rtf, and get Sublime Text, VS Codium, or any of the other bazillion IDEs out there until you find one you can tolerate. Helix does that for me. (:

True, missed that because I didn’t zoom in

It’s funny how the human brain works. I mean really, this could probably also be a luke-warm water with some rest of milk mixed into it, and yet nobody thinks of that

Most voters don't have luxuries of having time or education to make deep dives into issues, and are swayed by some nonsense.

Arguably most voters wouldn’t have needed to take a deep dive into issues to see Trump was the worse option, a shallow one at most. A swim would’ve been enough, really.

The weird part is connecting serial number to customer account for anything without internet access (or really, I’d draw the line at electronic components), no?

I thought it was Engineering, not CompSci? (Not that it really changes anything about the point)
