olexsmir··on Git Is Still Awful
I've been using JJ for over a year now, and it does solve most git UX problems, and honestly I prefer JJ's workflow over git's one.
olexsmir··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
I think Taras Chmut(head of Come Back Alive) mentioned that they got a ~20 million donation from the undisclosed European governments
olexsmir··on Yandex Takes a Second Data Center Hit in 48 Hours
Russia has been hitting civilian logistics centers for years now. At least 2 of my packages were destroyed :C

I think you missed the news, war is going on for 5 years already, and yet russians don't do jack shit about it
olexsmir··on Gleam doesn't compile to Erlang source anymore
massive +1, been watching his streams from time to time, and the man is the definition of a humble and chill person
olexsmir··on Gleam doesn't compile to Erlang source anymore
I love seeing how gleam gets better and better with every release, sadly I dont have any projects where I could use gleam :(
olexsmir··on Plain text is still one of the best technologies we have
I feel obligated to mention ledger[0] and hledger[1], those are plain text accounting software, well, as you can guess from their names, they allow you to do personal accounting in plain text.

0: https://ledger-cli.org

1: https://hledger.org

olexsmir··on Tcl/Tk 9.1
They don't make them like they used to
olexsmir··on PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock
Been using pipepiple since December of last year, very happy about the app. The developer seems to care about the project and introduces a lot of quality of life improvments.
olexsmir··on A Necessary History of the Oddest Letter: W
just come here to link this video...
olexsmir··on English: A vs. An
Are you talking about case system? If so, for me, a native speaker of a Slavic language, it doesn't matter that I was born speaking that language, I still use the wrong cases sometimes. The main problem with cases is that oftentimes they are irregular.
olexsmir··on English: A vs. An
As a native speaker of a language without articles, I understand how articles work, I know(or at least knew at some point) the grammar, but I still omit them unintentionally. And the most frustrating part is that I use English every single day, probably even more than my native language.
olexsmir··on OpenJev
you're not alone
olexsmir··on Neovim have a ~$800k Bitcoin donation sitting untouched since 2023
Bitcoin isn't really money same way as US dollar isn't really money.
olexsmir··on Small Programming Tricks
the biggest trick I have is to learn to use curl properly
olexsmir··on Vim's UserGettingBored Autocmd

olexsmir··on The USSR in 100 Photographs
I see a lot of westerners praise USSR as some sort of lost paradise. And for me, Eastern European, it's crazy
olexsmir··on Third Drone Shot Down in Three Days in Romanian Territory
Shahed drones are used only by russia and iran
olexsmir··on A shell colon does nothing. Use it anyway
I often use : to set default values of configuration envs. e.g, in my dotfiles bootstrap script I have:

  : "${DOTFILES_PATH:=$HOME/.dotfiles}"
Which will use $DOTFILES_PATH value if it's set, otherwise it's going to be $HOME/.dotfiles
olexsmir··on Tell HN: YouTube RSS feeds no longer work
From what I hear, this happens all the time, even though it always works for me
