timothylaurent··on Double is winding down
M1 Finance is quite like this.
timothylaurent··on Show HN: Unsure Calculator – back-of-a-napkin probabilistic calculator
This reminds me of https://www.getguesstimate.com/ , a probabilistic spreadsheet.
timothylaurent··on Rye: A Hassle-Free Python Experience
I assume this "Universal" resolution is enabled by adding the "--universal" cli argument?

It doesn't look like this is currently documented but I found some hints in the release notes.

timothylaurent··on Memray: Python memory profiler
Memray is definitely best in class!
timothylaurent··on Architecture diagrams should be code
Structurizr -> mermaid is a nice way to go especially since GH now renders Mermaid. We use the structurizr-python library to update diagrams in CI
timothylaurent··on Sweet Shell: With Oh-My-Zsh, SpaceVim, Starship, True Color, and Demo Mode
The only thing I do is enable the kubernetes plugin which for some reason isn't the default.
timothylaurent··on Sweet Shell: With Oh-My-Zsh, SpaceVim, Starship, True Color, and Demo Mode
Just use starship.rs , then.

Agree - Wezterm is great!

It's my goto on linux now, and I even installed in on my Mac where I'm daily driving Warp.

mostly because you can spend an arbitrary amount of time tweaking your vim to get it the way you want it. This Vim distros, like SpaceVim and AstroNvim, are a great foundation working on an IDE-like vim setup.

For example, in AstroNvim - the path completion dropdown shows icons and all paths accessible, when focusing on a file, it shows the head of the file. It's a really smart UX integration. It would likely have taken me weeks to months of playing with my config to have a small subset of what is available in the distro.

They're also very configurable, so you can override any key-binding you want, add or disable plugins.

I guess it depends on how you want to spend your time :shrug

timothylaurent··on Sweet Shell: With Oh-My-Zsh, SpaceVim, Starship, True Color, and Demo Mode
I've tried lots of these tools. I'm currently doing

pan-OS

ohmyzsh - mostly for the git aliases :D

starship - contextual prompt

AstroNvim - this replaced SpaceVim for me - a delightful- batteries included vim

direnv - directory-based environments - I have custom layouts that install python with pyenv, and a virtualenv with pyenv-virtualenv, and activates the VE based on the .python-version

RipGrep - replaces ag for search

k9s - for managing kubernetes

hishtory - command history search

lsd - colorful ls replacement in rust

bat - colorful cat replacement in rust

brew - so much fresher than apt packages on linux

OSx

Warp - next gen terminal - replaced iterm for me

Linux

Wezterm - really snappy terminal emulator

timothylaurent··on 'Soleus pushup' fuels metabolism for hours while sitting
There's no way that isolating the soleus is somehow mysterious and out of reach of the common person.

Just tell us what sort of activation is needed - how long should you do the exercise - we can manage to figure out if we're working our soleus.

timothylaurent··on Show HN: DevTools-X – a cross platform alternative of devutils and devtoys
Why is a broken app on top of the HN feed?
timothylaurent··on Falling for Kubernetes
It's really better than any GUI I've used. I like it better than Weave Scope, Lens, and Rancher.
timothylaurent··on If Google sucks then why is everyone still using it?
You's been a refreshing break from the Google-sphere - and it gets better and better - The mobile browser is also great!
timothylaurent··on BiglyBT is a feature filled, open source, ad-free, BitTorrent client
It's a full-on Vuze fork
timothylaurent··on BiglyBT is a feature filled, open source, ad-free, BitTorrent client
Bigly is actually a vuze fork
timothylaurent··on Show HN: Shortwave: Enjoy Your Inbox
Hmmm can't seem to finish the login flow
timothylaurent··on Google Search Is Dying
you.com is so refreshing -- I've been using it since learning about it and I see it getting better and better.

Been loving the twitter integration, the code blocks, stack overflow -- and the lack of adds. Love it!

timothylaurent··on PDM: A Modern Python Package Manager
This is our setup - fits perfectly, don't even miss `workon`
timothylaurent··on Exa: An alternative to Ls
I switched to LSD from Exa as soon as I realized that Exa wasn't a ls drop-in replacement -- it's been great so far.
timothylaurent··on Ask HN: Whats your ideal PhD workflow
Check out https://obsidian.md/ for a note taking app. It's a local markdown file-based knowledge base. It is great for zettelkasten workflows since links are a first class citizen, it also has a rich plugin system to extend and customize your worklfow. It's also free for personal use.
timothylaurent··on GNU nano is my editor of choice
but are there vim keybindings?
timothylaurent··on Do not do in code what can be done in infrastructure (2017)
But infrastructure _is_ code
timothylaurent··on Bash PS1 Generator
Or just use https://starship.rs/ for any shell
timothylaurent··on Amp: Vi-like terminal editor written in Rust
I've been using https://spacevim.org/ for this purpose for some time, though Vim per-se isn't my daily editor -- I use PyCharm with VIM emulation.

It lazy loads everything and supports most languages, has help throughout, and a responsive community for any issue you may encounter.

Bad link -- wish I could down vote.
timothylaurent··on Monday: Manage your development environment when working with microservices
The goals of this project seem great at first glance as it allows you to have unified paradigm for development environment management allowing for local, k8s, and ssh-based connections described in declarative yaml. I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

Like Telepresence[1], it allows swapping out of a running pod with a local environment. Is there a potential to dump the environment's environment variables to allow for integration with IDE debuggers, similar to what is described here [2]?

Is there support for multiple kubernetes clusters?

Can it only swap out pods? Or is there a way to declaratively deploy if not already running and swap out?

Also, it would be nice to be able to avoid needing to run as privileged in some way.
