Thanks! I'll correct myself: lack of interactive global search, discussed here: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/196 Maybe it's kind of niche feature, but that's how I navigate my code, and that's what would…
I test-drived helix for a couple of months, and it is really fast. My major pain points compared to Neovim: - lack of global search (like ripgrep integration) and something like dumb-jump/anyjump — it's faster and less…
Interesting approach. But for me the main disadvantage of SQL code embedded in other language is lack of syntax highlighting/checking. I've had the best experience with embrace-sql which translates sql-files with magic…
I think that the ultimate result (sqlite-wasm) is better than what Web SQL database could provide. Today you can bundle your own version with your own set of native extensions. In case of standard Web SQL you would be…
Two years ago I moved back to paper for my productivity and notetaking after about 7 years going fully digital. There are a lot of advantages for me. Some of those may apply to others: - Tactile feeling and aesthetics.…
Is it a known behavior? Considering SQLite developers approach to reliability, I think it would count as a critical bug worth fixing.
> git, for all its issues, is not bundling the kitchen sink. It doesn't bundle the kitchen sink in its native *nix environment, but for Windows it does. Git installer is > 50 MB, including (if I remember correctly) even…
13B uses about 9GB on my MacBook Air. If you have another machine (x86) with enough RAM to convert the original LLaMA representation to GGML, you can give it a try. But quantization step must be done on MacBook. Maybe…
Maybe it's me personally, but with M1 / M2 Macs the quality of a product (hardware + software) is far ahead of anything I could get with GNU/Linux, unfortunately. macOS quality isn't as great as it was, but (from my…
However, these 100 LOC probably could be split into an internal library function which won't change until necessary. If you use an external library (especially in JS and especially in frontend), you or your successor…
On Linux I used Astroid for offline mail access (notmuch + lieer for gmail and mbsync, I think, for other mailboxes - it worked so good that I don’t remember exactly). For me it is the best offline email setup. On…
I know of least three approaches: 1. For per-user configuration there is home-manager which symlinks dotfiles to Nix store based on a single "home.nix" derivation (state). Home-manager is usable outside of NixOS and, in…
I play games very infrequently, but my anecdata is the opposite: games usually have laggy UI with an inconsistent reaction to input events, noticeable latency, frequent breakage and generally worse user experience (and…
I moved around a bit. I started using Gentoo around 2008, then migrated to macOS on hackintosh in 2010, macOS on MacBook in 2015, NixOS on MacBook in 2017, NixOS on ThinkPad in 2019 and, most recently, back to macOS on…
It would be interesting to compare this representation with Haiku vector image format described in post [0] and discussed a couple of times here [1, 2]. 0: 500 Byte Images: The Haiku Vector Icon Format…
I think, in Plan9 philosophy, if the desktop has a driver and it is started in the current namespace, it is represented as a file too (like /dev/my-printer/print-pdf). But it quickly becomes confusing for me: 1.…
Consistent cmd+x/c/v is great. I've tried replicating this experience in Linux in many different ways over the years, but the best approach was to add `altwin(ctrl_alt_win)` to xkeyboard preferences together with custom…
Language support is tricky. Libraries and services implementing it will have bugs, memory leaks, etc. ultimately leading to crashes. I'd prefer my text editor not to crash erasing my unsaved changes. So probably the…
Yeah, I used GUI emacs on and off for more than a decade, most recently — for a couple of months as a primary editor and email client. Emacs with gcc+pgtk patches feels great. Unfortunatley, due to scrolling and, most…
For me the most important benefits of GUI text editor are: 1. Selection and system clipboard integration. 2. Ability to quickly scroll to look something without moving the cursor, then return where I was by pressing an…
In this case better solution would be to use this single line (which works for >80% of clients) with try-catch in core and maybe load polyfills from exception handler via "bloat dispatcher".
Actually there is built-in GTK Inspector [0] and I used it successfully with gtk-rs before. GTK_DEBUG=interactive your-app [0] https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK/Inspector
I don't have experience with non-alphabetic writing systems, but I was under impression that for simple written communication nowadays plain text is good enough for every language supported by Unicode. I've heard e.g.…
Well, Gemini can have links to pictures and clients may render pictures — inline, in separate "graphics" column etc. No one does it yet, as far as I know, but we will see. Table and math bring more problems. Probably…
It is arguable whether 2x LOC reduction is worth it. But 5x LOC reduction on the same technology stack kind of changes the complexity category of the code base. 2kLOC (borderline trivial application) is almost always…
