Do you recommend a Porto Alegrer move to Floripa? My work is remote now...

Most likely, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2602187

Me too - but I stopped for 30 days and didn't cut other caffeine sources..

Can generic sorting be implemented now ?

VsCode: a single thin column is possible: turn on Zen Mode, word Wrap, and slide the bar for a thin editor.

I'm on mobile but check the sample, the author mentions an introductory resource.

As a parent of a 2 year old, I think I'll play again when he plays!

todoist.com (sry, sry)

Wow, just seeing "pure meat" results like this throws me back to another time...

Not exactly what you asked, but one idea I just picked is keeping a proper Changelog, ie, stop assuming that "Git history solved that".

And a good way to write those is to have a `## Unreleased` entry on top of `CHANGELOG.md` - the idea is to add tasks as they are being completed.

Then when a version is published/tagged/milestone, replace the "Unreleased" with "v1.2.3".

Gitter?

Love Dynalist too - using the "native" app on MacOS today. Have you tried checkvist ? Not as good looking but great Vim-inspired shortcuts.

First test:

    $ 6km in miles

Great viewing angle. My 27" 4k looks "dark" in the corners from a center position.

I'd also prefer a display with integrated speakers so that a Chromecast could easily turn it into something useful when it gets replaced.

(I would probably try a Ultrawide next time, since its not a big difference in veritcal space with this monitor (scaled) compared to my old 22" display)

I'm pretty skilled and love the modal mindset - but still feel like I'm faster with Vscode, with less effort.

You can do so much with multiple cursors and a few extensions (expand selection to bracket, insert numbers, and align cursors are the operations I use the most).

Yeah - this could work for more people if they had a small app that opened "Spork urls" spork://whattzzuu5drxwdwi6xbijjf7yt56l5adzht7j7kjvfped7amova

Off topic: are you still abstaining from caffeine?

(Explanation: arrived at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15015671 when searching about "quitting"caffeine"for the Nth time..)

100%. If I understand correctly. to change a single line (say some behaviour that is wrong for your workflow) of a VSCode plugin you have to fork it on Github.

In Emacs it would probably be a short snippet, tested in your scratch buffer and added to the end of your init.el:

    (add-hook 'vscode-todoist-xxx-hook ...)

This is what I miss the most about Emacs - what I don't miss is the endless configuration/tweaking...

Did you write more about it here or elsewhere?

When I tried that, I found that as soon as I wanted to alternate into more "passive mode" (Youtube, reading a blog post) standing didn't work. I like the stool idea, would love to try standing desk one day again.

And then there's the pricing.. "We already have Google". No way my company would pay for Airtable, Notion, etc

Its spreadsheets all the way.

I feel like designing for the web is so hard compared to elements that work on the phone. This elements look very "phone sized".

OTOH... I kinda assumed outlining was awesome for taking notes and jumped on the Roam (and Logseq) hype train, but recently noticed how "thinking" with free text works better in most cases. Markdown lists in Obsidian/VsCode when lists are really needed.a

I love the sound of engines and find videos likehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baGM9StRJfI very relaxing. (Of course, living near a busy street and having to endure tens of bikes at the same time is another thing).

I find it very interesting. Most of us are more used to highways and airports. The problems one usually has are "if you don't have the documents with you, you go home/get on the next flight".

But in "boat world", delaying a trip a few days is no big deal. So things move slowly, there's time for all this cigarette song and dance, etc. This story has some old world charm in some sense.

Of course bribery is not cool, but in other ways I'm glad the whole world isn't (wasn't.. 2003) so homogeneous, and would prefer it to remain that way because its more interesting.

Wow - I though the highest comment would just praise pg and his essays. I love his essays.
