When I first started programming I used a text editor, UltraEdit32. When I moved into .Net, I initially used Ultraedit and wrote all my own build files, but switched to using Visual Studio with all the bells and whistles. When I moved to Python/Node I adopted Vim, and these days I tend to use Doom Emacs.

There’s a spectrum from visual studio or eclipse, with complex project structures, through vscode and rider which are simpler, to programmers editors like Emacs or neovim, to plain editors like nano.

I think the most important thing is that you’re comfortable with your tools. I could crunch out a lot of code with Visual Studio and Resharper, but I use Emacs as an IDE, note taking tool, and email client . The familiarity makes me productive.

It is super helpful to have syntax errors or warnings highlighted when working on code, and a decent editor will make it easier to navigate code - jump to the definition of a function, find the documentation for an API call etc.

As codebases get larger, you need all the help you can get. You may also find, when you work with others, that their opinionated tooling clashes with your opinionated hand crafting.

I wholly agree, but that photo has been on my camera roll for years waiting for just the right discourse.

Take your upvote and get out

Set it up and I’ll sub.

It’d be slow, though, like a lot of the darknet protocols, and would mean that whether or not your post is visible depends on which users you’re connected to. I think the usability problems would likely rule it out.

P2P works great for filesharing because you’re reading small numbers of large things, so if each thing takes a minute or two to start, that’s fine. It would suck for reading the memes community on a social network cos you need to read many small things, and if they don’t load quickly the experience is ruined.

Ja, but you need an index for each thread, some kind of time partitioned thread index for each community, same for all.

Then you need to query all comments or posts by user, so that’s another index, then you need some way of querying for hot, or controversial or what have you.

It’s doable, but fiddly. Tempted to have a go though!

I was solidly an Arch user until a few months ago when I was forced to use Fedora for work purposes and, begrudgingly, I have to admit it’s pretty nice

There’s a few posts around about server setups that people are running. The major constraint seems to be storage. Lemmurs uploading gigs of data can get tricky to manage pretty quickly.

Bit of a pain to store in Dynamo, though. You’d need to write a bunch of different views, I think.

One comment thread makes sense as a partition, but listing threads is going to be awkward, and search is basically a no-no.

So I hear! Hyped.

Usually Indies, a lot of slay the spire recently, but I’ve just started Street Fighter VI.

Tempted by System Shock next cos I never played the original.

I’ve been usung a Moonlander for a couple of months after a friend at work lent me his Ergodox EZ. The learning curve for someone who’d been trying freestyle for 30 years was tough, but I definitely prefer it now I’m accustomed.

Most ergo keyboard users are somewhat zealous, so if you know someone who uses one, they may be happy to lend you one on a temp basis.
