He's not anti-rails. He just won't be using it.
If he is selling his games, is he a hobbyist?

chrome doesn't have tags for bookmarks though.

IME, it's not as polished as VSCode, too many rough little details here and there. But then, VSCode has been around for longer.

The only comment that directly answers the original doubt about how QEMU can use and work with KVM. Hats off.
Re:Customizing tmux and making it less dreadful on Monday August 04, 2025 @07:26PM (#44792511)
I mean having long processes(batch jobs, backups, compiling, etc...) or even your opened terminal apps like your code editor or claude code don't get interrupted/killed if you accidentally close your terminal, or you terminal/desktop environment crashes/freezes. While essential for doing dev on remote servers IMO cause of "networks", is useful for local stuff too.
Re:Customizing tmux and making it less dreadful on Monday August 04, 2025 @05:39PM (#44791662)
You don't mention the persistence of tmux sessions, which I find very useful for local development. Does ghostty have a client-server architecture too?
Kinesis now has https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/mwave/ as a better(to me) Microsoft sculpt clone in a similar price range.
It's also a good alternative to Obisdian if you don't need smartphone support.

Datagrip, as an extension, lets you work with SQL, highlighting, autocompletion, and more, inside non-SQL files, such as your programming language files. I think they call this 'language injection'.
Re:PostgreSQL IDE in VS Code on Friday May 23, 2025 @12:53PM (#44074439)
It is also the best Web IDE, for the return of timesharing development, sorry cloud.

Also the best webdev IDE.

Re:LSP client in Clojure in 200 lines of code on Sunday May 11, 2025 @10:27PM (#43959102)
It's idiomatic "low-level" Clojure, though. Not everything is a happy place where you're just manipulating maps and vectors like in most examples.
Re:An update to our pricing on Monday April 21, 2025 @06:37PM (#43757276)
The reason for forking is the restrictions of the vscode API, so no, the extensions and the fork are not the same.
Re:An update to our pricing on Monday April 21, 2025 @05:10PM (#43756523)
I haven't used either but reading Cursor's website, they let you add your own Claude API key, do they still fiddle with your requests using your own key?
Why is using cursor with sonnet cheaper than using claude code?

You were not wrong though, Java 8 was released in 2014, so it only took them ~10 years ;)
Re:Why Clojure? on Sunday February 23, 2025 @08:18PM (#43154927)
Datomic feels like a natural extension of Clojure for storing data—you get no impedance mismatch, you continue working with Clojure's data structures for storing, querying, and writing data instead of dealing with clunky query builders(or SQL strings), and you gain immutability. Sure, you can use any database you like, but then you're playing the same game as every other programming language, ultimately getting less value out of Clojure and making it feel like just another language—at least for applications that require a database.
Re:Why Clojure? on Sunday February 23, 2025 @05:20PM (#43153766)
Using Clojure without Datomic can be frustrating since you feel like you lose some of the language's value, as you likely want to extend its philosophy and style to the database as well. Of course, Hickey probably knew this when he started planning Clojure, which is why he also created Datomic. However, Datomic can be a hard pill to swallow
Do you use the vim plugins in vscode/emacs/webstorm?

Re:A CEO's Guide to Emacs on Thursday January 11, 2024 @10:33AM (#38953591)
Vim's modal editing allows for wider key space and better ergonomics. Both are good to have for programming IMO.
Re:A CEO's Guide to Emacs on Thursday January 11, 2024 @10:29AM (#38953525)
But one can use both emacs and jetbrains. I get value from both and use vim's modal editing in both.
Nags about updates which you can ignore, just like every other plugin.
