kellyjprice··on The new calculus of AI-based coding
Is typing 10 lines of code your bottleneck?
kellyjprice··on Starbucks: Location closures and elimination of roles
Starbucks raised the bar for coffee in the US. In most cities big and small, there's better alternatives now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-wave_coffee
kellyjprice··on Nobody knows how to build with AI yet
I'm not trying to discount it the analogy, but I'd much rather live without cars (or a lot less).
kellyjprice··on A new vertical farm will grow 3M pounds of mycelium a year for fungi-based bacon
Would you consider lobster or crab, bugs?
kellyjprice··on Neovim v0.5
Probably. I have not had any problems switching between the two. It's meant to be a drop in replacement, but I'm not sure how perfect that is.
kellyjprice··on Why can't I write code inside my browser?
Oh oh. I read the HN article about why it's called `grep`.

g - global re - regex p - print

kellyjprice··on I3: Improved Tiling Window Manager
If you're at all interested in tiling window managers, I can't recommend regolith enough. It's built on top a minimal ubuntu install and gnome-settings-daemon, so it gives you most of the non-window manager desktop stuff you would expect. At first, the distro was all the same stuff I would uninstall/install to roll my own environment. But they keep working on it and expanding the docs.

The only difficult part for me, is that they change the i3 config defaults. So often, instead of checking the i3 docs, I have to read my local config first.

They do mean earlier, don't they?

kellyjprice··on Ask HN: What has made you a better problem solver in software engineering?
> ...where it makes sense to do so.

Certainly being able to trace code is one skill, and knowing how deep to go is another.

kellyjprice··on Science saved me from pretending to love wine
I think you're ignoring the additional complexity added by the fermentation. It's not fair to compare juice to a fermented juice. As I understand it, it is objectively more special than other fruit juices.
kellyjprice··on Git git git git git
That's a habit I may never break. There's been enough times that vi was actually vi.
kellyjprice··on Git git git git git
All the time, at least twice already today. Another common command that I'll start typing only to switch context from is vim.
kellyjprice··on The Presence of One’s Own Smartphone Reduces Available Cognitive Capacity
I had heard that recitations of the Odyssey were more improvisational. If I remember the gist correctly, someone proposed that adjectives, for instance, were chosen to match the meter of a particular line.

kellyjprice··on My Arch Linux Setup with Plasma 5
What happened to the time when KDE was respected as a beautiful DE?
kellyjprice··on Uikit – A lightweight and modular front-end framework
I can think of 2 much older examples of 'kit', as a part of toolkit, in a UI framework name:

* GTK

* Tk of Perl/Tk

kellyjprice··on Benefits of using tmux – streamlining your development environment
I believe I get less lag in xterm within an Ubuntu VM than with iTerm2.
kellyjprice··on Native encryption added to ZFS on Linux
I've been using it casually as my /home for ~2 years. The most stress it gets is torrenting movies to it. But, there's been no problems. Setting it up on 3 drives was dead simple.
