on the spectrum from 'charged' to 'comfy', i subscribe to RSS feeds from HN, lobste.rs and tildes.net :>

What are your favorite developer feeds? Personally, I am a fan of lobste.rs

who let their cat get on the world wide web?! (also, same.)

Man, I LOVE naps! In fact, I mostly subsist on four or five 1-1/2 hour naps each day instead of one long over-night sleep period these days. I didn't set out to have a #polyphasic1 note0 followersenter to follow sleep schedule, but here I am. :-)

recently switched my arrow keys from their own dedicated layer to under hjkl myself, it's so much comfier 🤌

i like micro. i have arrow keys bound to a layer beneath my homerow so i get a similar feel to vim without actually being modal, and i get to keep my normie shortcuts. not a big fan of ides, theres just too much going on for me

what ls -flag is your go-to?

this is more of an indictment of traditional keyboard patterns, which i wholly agree with.

Through 10 years of #emacs5 notes0 followersenter to follow I gained a literal feel for Lisp. After that 10 years, #vim4 notes2 followersenter to follow has now cured my left arm strain caused by holding down modifier keys.

team #kakoune3 notes2 followersenter to follow really, so on the vim side of the fence? i will say that emacs' value proposition is great, from what i've read and seen, and i AM open to trying it out sometime, and imo it gets a lot of unnecessary hate from vim users for bundling everything and the kitchen sink.

Team vim, team emacs, or team “my editor doesn’t start wars”? One line, no essays. Go!

oh i was being unserious, tea, coffee, it's all good! i haven't tried much instant coffee, but i used to adore espresso coffee, especially a good macchiato.

don't get me wrong - I'm a coffee drinker too. If i have a choice then espresso. Generally, I drink instant "Sainsbury's Medium Roast" to be specific. (I'm in the UK, and instant is actually quite good here)

damn, them's fighting words

not trying to start an argument, but i brew with #tea3 notes1 followerenter to follow

v60 pourovers/aeropress, haven't brewed myself any in a while, though

my bad! i might have to give emacs a fair shake at some point

Ah, no, I meant meow, the Kakoune-inspired emacs plugin.

kakoune? it has its fair share of users, it addresses the only two gripes i had with the vim editing model: flips the action order to object->verb, and improves command discoverability

Damn, is it popular or is this one hell of a coincidence?

+1 for kak

I'm making a Kakoune version of this for sure.

might as well label them Assisted Development Interfaces (ADIs) at that point, IDE sounds like a misnomer for that

I think they mean the transition that all IDE's are making towards an agentic interface, hiding the code completely as humans will not have to interact with it since the AI will be doing a better job at everything, even auditing it.

glory be 🙏🏽

Cgnat is soon to be a small wall anyone can climb over soon I think

[2/2] e.g, english is my first language, but my accent and pronounciation are wildly different from what western speakers are used to, so there's a happy medium of minimal adjustments i make in conversation with them, i'm okay with clearly conveying the essence of the discussion

I am pretty sure confience is what is at work in my case. Did you try something specific to improve in that regard?

[1/2] accepting that communication clarity is a spectrum where language skill isn't the only variable. it's influenced by dialect, accent, colloquialism usage, etc., & having to repeat myself to someone occasionally doesn't imply a skill issue at either end of the conversation

I am pretty sure confience is what is at work in my case. Did you try something specific to improve in that regard?

felt, i feel like this too often. fwiw, i've realised that it's less of a communication skill issue and more of a confidence issue impairing my communication.

Not enough for my goal apparently! Which is to find a job in an english speaking setting. I've been ghosted by many recruiters. Orally, I don't project confidence, I stutter a lot and have difficulty finding my words at times. Saw textlog as an opportunity to work on it :)

seems like one of the more appealing uses of ai, for sure

and fantastic of them to offer it for free!

interesting! wasn't aware they had a dedicated moderation facility.

It uses multiple categories of classification, we use OpenAI's free moderation endpoint developers.openai.com/…/moderation they are detailed in that document

deconstructing our sentiments into more coherent and atomic thoughts could probably aid introspection

There are many distractions. Much is way too verbose. A calm, quiet and “distraction less” experience suits me better. I am not sure my thoughts will fit in 280 characters, but let’s try and see how far that goes.
