namtab00··on French cheese under threat from lack of microbial diversity
I have so much envy for you right now. I'm an Italian living in the northeast of Italy. I love Tête de Moine, but I cannot find a place selling it at decent prices..

It always has a ridiculous "luxury" tax, ending up above 50€/kg, which is absurd for Italy...

namtab00··on GitHub Actions as a time-sharing supercomputer
do you know if ADO has any caching mechanisms for pipelines doing builds?
namtab00··on Tuna species popular in sashimi and poke bowls in sharp decline
I've always heard predatory species like tuna cannot be farmed, but my knowledge may be outdated
namtab00··on Tuna species popular in sashimi and poke bowls in sharp decline
it doesn't taste like anything... it's 90%+ water, and water solid remains is basically tofu: absorbs the flavor of what it's cooked with
namtab00··on GitUI
It always amazes me how few devs know. GitExtensions.

Only other git UI that's comes close to it is Tortoise, of which I've only used the hg variant a while back.

namtab00··on GitUI
did you evaluate GitExtensions?
namtab00··on GitUI
That's why (on Windows) I use and love GitExtensions.

It always shows complete commands it issues, and you can fully view the complete log.

namtab00··on Tom Scott: After ten years, it's time to stop making videos [video]
maybe it's about being able to adequately pay his team, which might require posting regularly to insure a steady income for payroll...
namtab00··on Tom Scott: After ten years, it's time to stop making videos [video]
I'll add some:

AlphaPhoenix - science

Jay Foreman - UK centric cartography skits, very funny

Atomic Frontier - various, Tom Scott style

Climate Town - US centric climate related skits, very informative, also very funny

Dr. Becky - astronomy

Into Europe - light, EU related informative skits

Johnny Harris - journalist turned YouTuber, opinionated but tries to keep a politically neutral stance

namtab00··on Show HN: Heynote – A dedicated scratchpad for developers
I see Electron has a point release approximately every two weeks.

Factor in, let's say (conservatively), 5 Electron based applications on a given system. I posit everyone of those will depend on a different Electron version.

namtab00··on Show HN: Heynote – A dedicated scratchpad for developers
so you want something akin to how the .NET Framework was included in Windows...

what about different applications requiring different Electron versions?

namtab00··on What happens in the brain while daydreaming?
now that I think of it, in my dreams colors are not something I recall, but I definitely can say that I don't dream in greyscale..
namtab00··on What happens in the brain while daydreaming?
hmm that's weird, you forgot that they're usually painted in stripes (red/white?)
namtab00··on What happens in the brain while daydreaming?
while reading this, my mind started trying to imagine dogs...

I didn't do it on purpose, it just did.

They were all barking, and had a collar... That probably says something about me.

namtab00··on Oxlint – JavaScript linter written in Rust
I don't do JS/TS, but I have no idea why all this hasn't converged on editorconfig rules.

I write C# and do "linting" via editorconfig + ReSharper file layout formatting at dev time and via precommit hook with their CLI tool

I'm surely missing something crucial in that ecosystem that editorconfig can't handle...

namtab00··on Epic vs. Google: Google Loses
you're saying, in a very simplified way, you can have a monopoly if you already have a monopoly..
namtab00··on The Case for Memory Safe Roadmaps
Jane Street is all-in on OCaml.

Their podcast titled "Signals and Threads" is quite interesting.

namtab00··on Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?
there was such a thing for c#, called semantic-merge by Codice Software, a Spanish company that after being bought by Unity, killed it...
namtab00··on Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?
I too am a fervent GitExtensions apostle.

I really wish the 4.* release supported a dark theme, it's the only thing keeping me on the 3.* release, and I dread the day I'll have to switch for whatever reason...

namtab00··on Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?
I'll share here my positive opinion of GitExtensions (on Windows). It has really helped me use and better understand Git, while also helping me define and share workflows with my colleagues..

Other GUIs, like the ones embedded in VisualStudio, VSCode or Rider, try to sell skipping some cognitive steps for some operations as simplifying or speeding up dev flow. I find they are just offering extra (beyond what git itself offers) ways of shooting yourself in the foot.

namtab00··on Maelstrom: A workbench for learning distributed systems
AFAIK, space suits are not inflated, they are pressurized.

Mobility is done with mechanical joints, not sheer bending force of an inflated chamber.

namtab00··on How does Shazam work? (2022)
you couldn't recognize anything ambient like, let's say, Loscil
namtab00··on Maelstrom: A workbench for learning distributed systems
because they need 1atm of pressure to not have their liquids boil?
namtab00··on Rage: Fast web framework compatible with Rails
Blazor

yes, I am THAT guy...

namtab00··on Spotify will reduce total headcount by approximately 17%
that's not what "less inflation" means
namtab00··on Music-Map – Find Similar Music
Try Bent.
namtab00··on Music-Map – Find Similar Music
checkout the artist Bent, you might enjoy it
namtab00··on Sqids – Generate short unique IDs from numbers
ehm, yeah, n=2 will not get you anything useful...

that'll be like trying to determine the average salary in a company with only two known ones, which could be the janitor's and the CEO's

namtab00··on "Useless Ruby sugar": Argument forwarding
wait, what? can you point to a feature name / doc / example?
namtab00··on The Meaning of Melancholy
Genuine question: if grieving is, ultimately, thinking about the experienced loss, isn't melancholy the exact same thing, but experienced through rose-tinted glasses?
