I am another one, and I feel like so all the time. Strangely, I don't feel bad about it at all.
Re:Tailwind vs. Semantic CSS on Monday October 23, 2023 @05:28AM (#37983384)
I think tailwind is like a drug for css developers which gives them power but takes something away. They've successfully convinced people to think the tailwind way and not beyond to the extent that we use absurd classes to keep overselves in html. It's cleaver but not simple. I still miss the days when I was able to quickly turn a design into html but now I struggle and search for my tailwind drug.

This seems to be their business model.

> In the future, we’ll build and sell services on top of our tools — but the tools themselves will remain free and open-source.

> Our plan is to provide paid services that are better and easier to use than the alternatives by integrating our open-source offerings directly. Our goal is for these services to be as impactful as Ruff itself — but you may choose not to use them. Either way, Ruff will remain free and open-source, just as it is today.

It's there in their announcement post.

As another data point, I've a tendency to not store too many photos and messages for long term. I think thats the reason why my 7 plus is still running like new after all these years. The only reason I'll upgrade will be 5G.
Not to downplay the product which is awesome, but how common it is for a single logo to be used by multiple commericial entities ?

For example, this one seems to be from https://creativemarket.com/Mujigraphic/27123272-Logo-S-desig...

That and the details in link indeed resonate with me. This practice helps me focus and relax so that's good enough for me. It goes away when my brain is clogged with thoughts and comes back when I clear everything. I'll have a look at these practices to learn more. Thanks

Since past few years, I am able to trigger a sensation at my will which is so pleasant that it's addictive. I looked for some medical phenomena and found ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response). My experience differ from ASMR as mine begins in the opposite direction of ASMR and is like a continuous flow.

The KAP has very similar description of Kundalini. At this point I am confused.

Re:Vim Anti-Patterns That Cause Beginners To:Quit on Friday October 08, 2021 @11:44AM (#28800517)
Debugging is one of the reasons I keep using vscode. There is vimspector but I never tried that.

For code-completions coc.nvim offers similar config and plugins as vscode. There is official lsp support for neovim now but coc.nvim works fine.

Re:Vim Anti-Patterns That Cause Beginners To:Quit on Friday October 08, 2021 @06:32AM (#28797676)
I’ve went through various editors and IDEs in past years. 2 years ago, I started using vim for exact same reason as yours.

Nowadays, I use both vscode and neovim but mostly neovim as it’s faster for me.

The problems I see are -

- not everyone is comfortable with customizing their editor.

- the meaning of bare-minimum features is different for everyone.

- some of us try hard to learn vim and then give up, declaring it unfit.

- some of us go too far in customizing it and end up thinking that we are overdoing it.

So, some of this hate may be genuine, but generally, people don’t hate vim.

They just hate the way they know/use it. At least I did.

Hopefully, you found it already, but here it is.

No, I just found it couple of years back and since then it’s my cheatsheet. The best part is, you can pick your workout focused on any particular muscle and learn about it as well.

In my opinion, six packs are not that important. Having strong muscles along with agility and control over body is what really matters.

To look things up, I often land on https://exrx.net/Lists/Directory . As someone, who went from skinny to muscular with just bodyweight workouts, I think consistency is the key.

Re:Benefits of Not Using an IDE on Saturday August 21, 2021 @03:54PM (#28260021)
When you start to work with too many languages frequently, using syntax from one while writing another is common and IDEs really help at this point. I too prefer not to remember APIs and methods, but with time, our brain starts maintaining a cache of these. Completions make this faster.

That and error detection are only features I like in IDEs. For everything else, dedicated tools are often better (but not necessarily easier) than integrated ones.

As FAQ mentions, They are planning to launch a commercial product so likely not I guess.
