Older / larger redwoods can survive intense fires. Their bark is fire resistant.

Good point!

I wonder if a 1000 year old tree would gather more or less carbon over it's lifetime than 20 separate 50 year old trees?

A redwood tree can live for more than 2000 years. That seems plenty long for carbon sequestration.

We should pay the logging companies to save a certain number of trees instead of cutting them every 30 or so years.

Another happy, paying kagi user here. I find the search results for dev related queries MUCH better than google. This is mostly because I set official documentation sites to have a higher precedence (No more w3 schools appearing above MDN, for example), which is a feature google lacks.

Here's to hoping it gains more traction! I love the competition in the search space.

Two benefits to Go:

- Installing 3rd packages such as the docker SDK easier

- Programs are more portable and easier to distribute

- Super Smash Bros Melee

- Super Mario 64

I have been greatly enjoying writing a side project in phoenix/liveview. It's fun, works well, community is welcoming, etc.

Previously I was writing side projects with Go APIs and react, and compared to that, this is miles ahead. I love not having to worry about creating a REST endpoint for every single interaction.

Also, I really like Ecto. It hits the sweet spot for an ORM of not too much magic and a lot of convenience.

Give it try if you haven't already :)

Thanks, but I'll stick with phoenix + fly.io

Yup, I do the same with dotfilehub.com

E.G,

curl https://dotfilehub.com/knoebber/emacs

results in plain text

You could sell it by opening a charging station. People would love to charge their cars with solar energy.

I like to do this to address PR feedback, mostly because we use bitbucket, and it's UI for reviewing individual commits sucks.

This website is a good example of a lisp web app, I think it works :)

Grinnell alum here - our first CS class is in Scheme. I expected the class would be a breeze because I already had a few years of programming experience in Java/Python in highschool. Turns out that lisp is way different, and I was about as challenged as people with 0 programming experience. At first most of us were annoyed at having to learn an esoteric language without real 'industry' use, but by end of semester we all were super into it. It helped that our curriculum focused on fun problems like using recursion to draw things using a faculty/student developed scriptable gimp library.

I sometimes copy paste things into the browser URL bar to strip formatting

Emacs + magit and auto-fill-mode

Good read. There are so many ways to manage dotfiles...

Here are some features of the system[1] I made if anyone is interested:

* No system links

* Doesn't rely on git

* Simple CLI for diff, commit, push, pull etc

* Install files without the CLI: `curl https://dotfilehub.com/knoebber/vim >> ~/.vimrc`

* Can manage files outside of $HOME

* Web front end is minimal, JS free, and easily self hostable

my site https://dotfilehub.com is on the list. It's a pretty simple web app but it does do something.

Have you tried qutebrowser?

Emacs does this for markdown files

For me, and I assume many others, vim is fun. It sort of gamifies text editing. There's always new things to learn, and executing advance keystrokes is satisfying. Once you know them, moving to other IDE's is a pleasure because they all offer a vim mode (with varying levels of compatibility). Personally I use vim / emacs + evil / jetbrains depending on the task.

But if you don't care about that aspect, I agree with you, just stick with the boring thing that works. I don't think vim really saves me much time in the long run, but it sure makes my daily tasks more fun.

Nice to see a another Grinnell alum in the wild! I want to try plans, but lost access to my @grinnell.edu email after I graduated. What do you think about it? Should I check it out?

You can do `networkQuality -c` and it will output json. It would be fun to make a tiny web front end for it on localhost.

It seems like Covid left a lot of restaurants scrambling for contactless ordering solutions. They can be nice, but I find it annoying when I have to use my phone to look at a menu or to make an order. How does your system work?

My side project is https://dotfilehub.com

It’s a bare bones version control system for single files + a web interface.

I see the advantages with this, but this would be pretty annoying on a slow or choppy internet connection. I highly value being able to develop software with little or no internet.

The article specifically says that they support their vim and emacs users by allowing them to SSH in edit code.

Congrats on the launch! The new site looks good. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Casper bed, Casper pillow, cotton sheets. Watching the mattress inflate was extremely satisfying. I think it's pretty comfy. I live in a tiny loft so moving a conventional mattress into it would be very difficult.
