@kiki you may have overlooked the fact that I admitted VSC has a more vast community.

Unfortunately, I don’t personally need this functionality and I am also not trying to convince you to use neovim, so I really think this entire argument is moot

@kiki both VSC and nvim are programmable via their respective plugin APIs. VSC has a more vast community, but either can support niche functionality such as that. Only nvim can be free from the chains of Chromium though

@electrineer absofuckinlutely! I already use 144

@retoor @atheist It's just the general editing experiencing. There's no frame-losses from loading an autocomplete or whatnot. It's just as if the character takes 2 frames to appear on screen whereas in vim just 1

@retoor Supposedly the greatest

gf isn't interested in living in US

@retoor oh, and morbidly obese because I keep buying all this comfortable furniture

@retoor The Canadian ones (300+ apps) ghost me, the American ones usually deny me because the market is very competitive

@retoor Apparently, if you can get used to the motions and keyboard-positioning of vim, you can seriously increase your (max) productivity, so I'm going to train myself to use it every now and then and if I see benefits - good. If not, no harm done.

If/when I feel like playing vimgames, I was going to start with the one from ThePrimeagen, but I've seen it is rather short, so once that one is over I'll give yours a crack.

@retoor I’m just starting to try out all these new tools (I’ve been a vscode pleb all my professional life) so I’ve started simple. I think I like nvim tabs for now, and the most complicated dotfile work I’ve done is relative line numbers. I’m going to incrementally increase complexity as I get better with all this stuff

@retoor Must be pleasant. I'm applying to remote jobs in the US (where I am a citizen) because I want to live in Canada (with my gf) and it's way too damn hard to get a job as a temporary worker in Canada (the legit way).

Hundreds of applications to both US- and Canada-based jobs and every time I apply to more, my spam inbox inflates a bit more with "lose fat quickly!", "check out this furniture!".

Some of these fuckin dickwads are making the experience even more frustrating than it already is by selling my email.

@jestdotty never too late to start

Actually never had this experience. Just git pull and npm i works every time

WTF is a ligma?

@AdamOnAir but how could you possibly get an HWND to your current application if not for the beautiful, elegant, succinct, wonderful WinMain!!!!!

Selling: car. Does not turn over. Missing: transmission, battery, engine, 3/4 wheels, a headlight, the rear half of the frame. Buy for parts only!

@chatgpt this fella says you’ve never been funny. What do you have to say about that? Please respond with excessive emojis in an a comically exasperated tone.

ChatGPT fails to generate working code 80% of the time if the prompt isn’t “how do I write <college comp sci algo> in <python, c, JavaScript>”

@Lensflare some of SQL is nice. Basic commands before you get into 9-ways-sideways joins with quadruple nested subqueries

Hear me when I say FUCK pivoting and unpivoting in SQL

C is nice, but I think the architecture is lacking. That’s why I use Zig. The standard library is beefy enough - and optimized enough - where I can get machine language performance without pulling in tons of dependencies or losing performance by reinventing the wheel. Unless I want to.

Bro who sees a spam post from a spam bot for good on a developer twitter and says “hmm, let me buy this product”

Ew windows server. Maybe it’s best if it stays down

In poorer countries, the slang is a lot more depressing

@atheist python issue 👎 it should be as simple as an import statement, and the VM should search automatically for a .DLL/.LIB file on Windows platforms and a .SO / .A files on *nix systems.

@atheist I’ve never used SOs and Python before, I assumed it would at least be well supported

Write it in zig, generate a shared library, call from Python. Easy!

It still applies. The rule is intended to keep the app on topic. It doesn’t necessarily mean that political posts in general are bad. There’s a time and a place and devRant / now is neither.

You shut your whore mouth.

What syntax do you even dislike?

Side note, I’m not sure that’s the correct usage of “skin in the game”
