Re:How do you use Vim in the era of AI? on Friday July 10, 2026 @10:16AM (#48860286)
I’ve done the same. Curious, what changes have you made to optimize the reading and reviewing?

Are you saying github copilot is switching to a per token billing model? If so, you have a link to that?

Re:So You Want to Write Java in Neovim on Saturday December 28, 2024 @12:27PM (#42532598)
The hardest part for me in using nvim for java is the debugger tooling. I primarily use IntelliJ for any JVM related languages, and the debugger has always been invaluable. The debugging has always felt more polished and easy to configure in JetBrains IDEs. The nvim-dap and nvim-dap-ui had a bit too much friction to configure for it to my liking, and inevitably I reverted to IntelliJ. However, I love the keyboard-driven flow I can achieve in nvim where JetBrains IDEs fall short.

Re:A Missing IDE Feature on Monday November 04, 2024 @08:56AM (#42041545)
I don’t see this as hiding code complexity or an alternative to writing cleaner code. It seems the argument is that when we come to a file/class/etc., that we should be initially presented with the outline rather than both the outline and details. It’s an approach to orienting oneself to a grouping of functionality, made first class by the IDE. It’s almost like opening a book and starting with the table of contents before diving into any specific chapter’s details. Allowing the reader to get a sense of what’s covered by this grouping of functionality before diving into the details. I haven’t tried this approach myself but it seems like an interesting exercise at the least.
Re:Tips on how to structure your home directory (2023) on Friday April 19, 2024 @02:46PM (#40090594)
I've got my own little structure:

  # projects I work on
  code/

  dotfiles/ 

  # main obsidian.md repo that everything I learn dumps into
  omega/

  # public repos for local code spelunking, these remain untouched
  repos/
  
It's just organically evolved, borrowing from this and that.

Sad to hear this. I had read his book “Elbow Room” back when I had been diving more deeply into free will and the various viewpoints associated. I don’t know that I found it convincing but it was an interesting peek into the compatibilist argument.

I haven't looked too deeply into perplexity yet. What do you find much better about it?
