mikemallon99··on Hacker News YouTube Video Playlist (Updated Weekly)
I added every Youtube video uploaded onto Hacker News within the past year to a big playlist, and will be updating this playlist every week. Hope some people find this useful!
mikemallon99··on Twitter and Reddit: All Social Media Sites Will Die (and Get Replaced)
Since when is Twitter dying? I hear people say they have stopped using it since Elon bought it, but I feel like that’s the case of the loud minority changing the perception of Twitter. I still use it every day and it seems to have a vibrant user base.
mikemallon99··on /r/startrek/ migrates to lemmy
What does it mean for r/startrek to migrate to lemmy, would that just be the moderators? To me it seems like just an outspoken group of people from the subreddit are moving to lemmy, but my guess is most people would prefer to stay on Reddit.
mikemallon99··on Ask HN: No raises/promotions until next year. Is this a red flag?
If you feel like you’re being paid what you’re worth, then no red flag. But if you feel like you’re getting underpaid, why not shop around for other jobs?
mikemallon99··on Moving fast with the core Vim motions
When you first starting Vim motions you’ll be putting thought into it, because it takes time to develop your muscle memory and learning where the motions are useful. But once you get going, it feels so much faster than using a mouse.

Just being able to use a keystroke to copy or replace text inside a set of parenthesis is so much faster than clicking and dragging your mouse cursor inside the set of parenthesis.

Not sure who is collecting the data on Vim motions being faster than mouse, but just from experience it feels way faster and more satisfying than using a mouse.
