Window management is fine, what is missing are half-split/full-screen shortcuts. There are many apps which can set them up, but a built-in possibility would fix most issues, since only a very small subset of users cares about tiling wm even on linux. Though, there was a new project the other day on HN, where SIP can remain on: https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

I, for my part, have configured window placement shortcuts in Hammerspoon (also possible with KM, BTT and a what feels like a million of other apps) and am completely happy. I mostly look at the maximized terminal anyway, the splits do happen in neovim and tmux.

As an ex-Linux and BSD user I share the feeling. But if I am honest to myself, I have to admit that I do not miss them, but my youth, friends, lack of responsibility and time to mess around with such things. Messing around with a new fancy distro for a day or two? Why not!

macOS is fine, I use it for 10 years, know it well enough and have no windows/linux muscle memory anymore anyway. And if I would switch back, I would still stare at the same Alacritty with tmux and neovim.

Teslas are still quite cheap - VW's also historically have had problems with infotainment. The ones which are good (ID.7, BMW i4) are also more expensive - although arguably they are much better cars than Tesla in most areas.

But, if I would look for an electric car in Tesla segment I would look into Hyundai Ionic 5/6 or Kia EV6 - they are in general great cars, which have proper service networks and will be around for years, what sets them apart from a chinese tesla-killer du jour.

I also stumbled about this sentence: would he pass any of these tests?

You've made a SR tool to solve LeetCode problems, not coding problems.

> In light of that, and their distaste for Elon, Democrats face a tough choice. Do they care more about the culture wars or climate change?

You can do both and buy an EV from another manufacturer. Placed an order for VW Id.7 days ago, would not even consider Tesla until they fire Elon.

For my issues, the combination of apple trackpad and a proper ergonomic keyboard with a keywell did it: at first Kinesis Advantage 2, then Glove80. Model 100 is also quite good.

What a great mind - the concept of computer archeology from "A Deepness in the Sky" is something I often think about looking at legacy code and maybe something our children will think about even more often.

OF keyboard support is fine - and I say it as an ex-emacs and current neovim user who works in terminal. It does not look that stellar but is well thought out and I am faster with kb in OF than I was in org-mode.

Omnifocus asks this price for a major version (4-5 years of updates) and has much more features - omniautomation, sync encryption, review, defer dates. Also, omnifocus and its makers have a reputation they have built over decades so they can ask for that money and I will pay because it is my GTD foundation for over a decade. I may use something else for a while but will always come back to OF with a relief.

This one is a new app, light on features but worse conditions for the same price. Can‘t forbid to get overconfident, I guess?

Java's tooling is indeed very good but comes with a huge downside of being bound to an IDE.

I would say that it is also no coincidence that author talks about Clojure as an example - a lisp language, which have obviously great support in Emacs. For the rest of development ecosystem support is of lower quality and now, with the transition between LSP and eglot and the unfortunate way how treesitter mods were implemented, the ecosystem is even more fragmented. I still like some aspects of emacs (configuration on-the-fly), do not care about others (magit, org-mode) but the state of development ecosystem is the true problem for me. Neovim is a much sharper development tool as of now in my opinion.

Emacs is not dying, but I don't know if it is well. I feel that for non-lisp developers it is only the last choice. Ecosystem is split between eglot and LSP, so you have to choose between debugger availability and performance for many languages. You have to do a lot of work to stop emacs opening buffers left and right on every occasion. Load times and micro-stutters make it a hard sell.

Some amazing work was done in last years with jit compilation, but also some, imo bad decisions were done with the way treesitter was introduced. I love the introspection and self-documentation of emacs, but I just cannot justify using it after neovim, which is very sleek with telescope and mason, easier to configure, fast and just aesthetically more pleasant, to be honest. Maybe if I would not need editors for programming, I would be more interested in org-mode, but on itself it is not enough to keep me in emacs.

It is not that expensive for a font (Hi, PragmataPro). The real problem is that it is has a quite limited amount of symbols.

You have to find your way of doing things. I mostly stick to GTD, and I've used Apple Reminders, org-mode, and Omnifocus (currently back to Omnifocus) over the years. My workflow does not change so much between these applications, I have to adapt it to technical limitations of the application somehow, but these are the same projects, due dates, tasks, inbox, reviews. Now what stresses me out out and overwhelms me is not having a system in place - now I have to keep all the tasks in mind and to think of them all the time.

You don't use productivity systems for planning your leisure time and hanging out, you use them to free more time and to let the things go your way at the same time. I can compare myself to my wife, who is not able to plan anything properly, and it is fascinating. She lets thing slip through the cracks, often small things which have no big consequences, but once in a while they snowball. A recent anecdote: a cabriolet she ordered gets cancelled, because she left the order unfinished for 3 months by not checking the order status and the model is not produced anymore. All easily avoidable with a proper organization. Her life mostly runs smooth only because I (and my productivity system) keep track of all the administrative stuff, otherwise things would bite her every other day.

I've always said half-joking, that CL users write more text praising it than actual code in CL. This thread is a fine example, but still fun to read.

But back to your examples - I feel that a lot of ideas CL is built on just aged poorly, I guess? No way I want to see some magical binary where some guru adjusted a parameter in the image or the ugly head of monkeypatching or macros all over the place in production code. CL serves the myth of lonely hacker where the rest of the world has accepted the fact that writing software is mostly a social activity and that code is as much for other people as for the machine.

It is not, the whole "stateful app in a launcher" paradigm is very clunky and slow in practice and it can't handle files and incoming text in any meaningful way. But hey, they have an AI and subscriptions! This is what happens when you take VC money.

I think where technically the disruption never happened was marrying the blogs with diaries. You write something in your diary app, decide that you want to publish it and just do it to a platform of your choice.

But maybe it all is a wish from different times, because today blogging has to identify the audience, care about nouvelity of the content, care about visitor statistics and self-promotion... Back then, maybe 20 years ago there were a lot of bloggers just telling about their little life and I miss them.

Knowledge checks can work against somewhat experienced players - there are so many moves in Tekken that you can be completely overwhelmed by a masher, since you will face stuff you've never seen before. Street Fighter is a more compact game and you are less likely to be surprised. What will a masher do, spam DI and jump-ins? You've seen it 1000x already.

It does not apply to top-players, obviously, but for players in the middle of the distribution curve Tekken can be hell.

Tbh, the charging pad is bad, if I would rely on it a lot, I would keep a cable in the car. I don't know why, but it heats up so much if you use it, that the iphone overheats and starts to throttle.

I have a build-in charging pad, which I almost never use, since modern smartphone batteries are just good enough to survive a day.

Every driver (me and my wife) is in the system and car selects the iphone available in the car, but I can also switch it manually if required.

The passengers have in general to stay off my infotainment system, they can do whatever they want in their own car :)

I think it is exactly the other way around. My brother was long time working for a big car manufacturer, and citing him "it is quite an achievement these days to make a car which drives genuinely bad". And it is true, especially given the move to EV and that with an increasing age my desire to drive a car past 160 km/h and in sports mode is basically 0.

So, where a car still can collect bonus points is infotainment and interior in general. If you offer some touchscreen-blandness, you have to go down with the price significantly, because I see where money was spared. I use the built-in wireless CarPlay daily, so I expect it to work without occupying myself with fixing Volvo's incompetence.

Me neither - I have not used a cable connection once in 3 years I have my current car. Do not even have a lightning cable in the car. But hey, people are different!

I am not buying a 60k EUR worth new car to fiddle with adapters. It is almost 2024, wireless carplay is a figured out thing since years. If they cannot solve it, they will not get my money, it is as simple as that. If anything, customers should punish manufacturers more for such bullsh*t, not less. Because current behavior let them believe they can get away with anything, thus this thread.

As an observation point - I drive a company car (a BMW) and will be looking for a new car next year. I would not even considers Volvo until they support wireless CarPlay. GM must very much believe in appeal of their car to piss off android and iOS users simultaneously.

I've been on both sides: emacs only and fish + cli toolig + neovim and there is certainly no "everyone" on the console side. "Everyone" lives in VSCode. People using console tooling do not invest less time into it compared to emacs folks and each setup is no less individual than an init.el

The "maintainer" is Thierry Volpiatto, mostly known as author of helm, a completion framework.

macOS is a unix, is graphical and was it from the beginning. I still spend most of my working time in iTerm with fish+neovim. Because the alternatives are slower, bloated and uglier.

But, of course, technically I am still using a GUI, it is just that for some of my workflows GUI applications does not add much value. They also compose in a worse way.

It does, he could get one from Hanseatic Bank for free, DKB had a proper credit card for years (now with s fee). They are mostly fee-ridden, since germans don’t like them very much (cultural thing?) and they are offered as an extra.
