Somebody should make a GUI application that the ONLY thing it does is undoing a push to a repo, or several pushes. That's a common scenario.

A nice solution is to simply put each icon/task of the same application side by side, so for instance you get 3 firefox icons in a row in the taskbar/dock, that's what I do, there's enough space anyway. That way you can quickly tell what's open and switch to them.

Thing's will probably snowball exponentially once we figure out how to clone consciousness and create fractal networks.

Addiction test? Checking to see what users most miss after a while?

Tip: Don't use generic names like johnsmith@whatever. It might be your name but a lot of John Smiths are going to use that account on a variety of services they use, for some reason. If you do that prepare to receive a bunch of registration and password reset emails. I even got linked with some guy in another country who did a very expensive Uber ride, which was kindof scary.

And tabs. And drag-dropping things by accident doesn't simply move/copy files but asks you what you want to do.

To me the problem with bloat is that it makes projects harder to maintain, also more bugs, not so much about ram usage. If the system in place makes sure the codebase is easily understood and adopted by contributors, then by all means, make all the crazy features you can think of.

I agree with you. There's almost never a free meal, nor a reason why there should be. I still think a lot of jobs today are unimportant and exist due to people's lack of options.

I also agree with loh's comment here: "I dream of a future where everyone has all of their basic needs met through technology, giving people the capacity to focus on doing the things they are naturally good at doing, things they enjoy"

It would seem that the current system in place is what's required to get there, but maybe it's just slow to change for good.

Or maybe give people time to live before they decide to participate in "the economy". Not everything is jobs. Actually I would argue that hiring is, or should be soon, obsolete because of a gradual change on mindset that clarifies what jobs really are, schemes. There's no reason to dedicate most of your waking life working on selling products where the end product is just maintaining frivolous life styles. And if having to pay for basic things like a roof and food is the factor here, then there are bigger issues at the root level.

Oh and I'm certainly liking Nim quite a bit. Recommended.

Just added some short descriptions to each image to make it more clear.

Seems making the column view is a bit tricky right now. But if I manage to do it i'll release it as a nim library itself and use it in the program.

Added alt support. -s for --salad -c for --count etc. Not all commands have an alt right now.

Not sure what you mean about filenames as arguments, how would a filename be listed?

Added regex support for --filter. For instance --filter=re:\\d+

You mean something like what tree displays? Or just to count the items in the directory?

First commits seem from 5 years ago. Maybe more than 2 years?

Okay. Can you please share the link and hopefully some example timestamps of this?

This is enough arguments to censor a person apparently: https://i.imgur.com/iO3rW8l.png

"Believe me that person is bad, I know. And I can assure you that other person totally agreed with him, he's bad too obvs."

This is what they believe: https://i.imgur.com/zJLGkUL.png

Basically "Thanks for the hard work you created, but now we're taking over, sorry. We'll probably make it way worse but I hate you."

If you consider a work day as a movie, and say you go there 4 days a week, that's watching a 5 hour movie, 4 days in a row.

What is contaminated? Could be some no-big-deal impurity.

It's a way to send a message across. Before things turn irreversibly nasty.

Made a similar post a while ago https://medium.com/@auver/here-are-some-free-applications-th...

All I could think of is, Rust already does this properly. It doesn't recompile libraries every time. It compiles them once, or again if the compiler is upgraded.

Having dependencies might not be a huge problem. But I've made some pretty complex interfaces using nothing but jquery, handlebars, and other util libraries. All patterns thought-out and written by myself. Not once did I feel I needed something more complex. I get the impression all the hype followers of front end frameworks might not have the best idea of what they're doing. Especially when you see people commenting about frameworks like angular/react/vue making jquery obsolete, because one is just a syntax enhancement library for dom manipulation, the others are predefined workflow patterns. I guess if you have to work on teams, or more corporate-y stuff, frameworks make sense, because programmers can be easily added or replaced. But luckily I've had the freedom to work on my own projects by myself, so I get the freedom to define whatever structure I see fit. Fun story: Somebody lectured me on how I should adapt my application to use one of those frameworks because it would reduce the code size according to him. Months later he complained about how he did just that with his application only to realize it made it more needlessly complicated and bloated.

Some weeks ago I was building an encrypted note taking CLI program https://github.com/Merkoba/Effer

I find shadow banning disgusting. Makes me angry to have legitimate thoughts silenced through some simple switch just because of some temporary "undesired" behavior caused by my nature of having a plethora of emotions that varies depending on many factors.

The first part of the documentation being the code of conduct is a ... fuchsia flag

Well I still have trouble with that, and a map wouldn't help very much. Imagine convincing governments to make the huge en-devour of placing thousands of kilometers of cables under the sea, and maintaining them, just for some "nerd stuff". If they did, they probably had a very good reason convincing them.

I'm using Clementine (qt) as a replacement, it's working very nicely :)

I'm working on some sort of tiling wm but for the web. It's still pretty basic in terms of browsers, but already nice if you want to use it to display websites that don't change often. It's based on Electron. You can get it here https://github.com/Merkoba/Boneless -- Also there's this video that shows a bit how it looks right now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg_3_YoVlk8
