"Ah, that's a much simpler and more elegant solution!"

Until #AI stops telling me my ideas are better, I'm going to keep assuming my job is safe.

A fuzzy finder, generally. Combined with an LSP, I'm able to sort of gesture in the direction of what I'm after and get there in a few keystrokes. This is admittedly easier in NeoVim with Telescope or fzf-lua, but the Ctrl-P plugin worked really well in classic Vim last I tried it.

I've done it. I've reached the top of the hill and begun rolling the ball back down. I have become the envy of Sisyphus...

My phone finally made the mistake of autocorrecting "duck" to "fuck."

What the hell would I do with a personality?

It's not a big problem or anything. There's just already a lot to learn, and having a bunch of plugins and options you didn't choose yourself when getting started adds an extra layer. On the bright side, a ton of fancy stuff works out of the box, which is great.

I feel like the strategy assumed we would get the left and middle again, but it would still be close, so they'd try to sway disaffected Trump voters. Not a bad idea, because every voter you convert is -1 for them and +1 for us. They didn't count on how many votes this courting would cost.

I don't disagree with the problems in our party or how bad a showing Democrats (and especially Harris) had, but it's still correct and true that Trump didn't win a majority of votes.

How to swap ctrl and alt keys in ubuntu 16.04? I have read the following: 1. How to cleanly swap alt and ctrl keys in xubuntu? 2. How to swap Command and Control keys with xkb step by step? Other than the above, I also spent quite some time on

Take a look at xmodmap or setxkbmap (assuming Pop! hasn't switched to Wayland yet).

This old Ask Ubuntu post may also get you sorted since Pop! is Ubuntu based. I think the file paths are still the same, or close enough to figure out.

Not at all. I do something similar to get debug messages in Slack when I'm working on things that need to POST data to some endpoint and I want to verify the shape and encodings are all correct.

It's much nicer than staring at CloudWatch log streams.

I've been running #ArchLinux since 2008 or so, and it has been the only PC OS in my home since 2019. It helped sharpen a lot of skills, and I love the vanilla and up-to-date packages. I've also been maintaining Ubuntu and RHEL systems for years at work, but more Alpine lately as Docker takes over.

Differences between Pop!_OS and Ubuntu Discover the differences between these two Operating Systems

I hooked my mom up with a tiny system76 box a few years back and she really took to it. They use Pop!_OS, which is Ubuntu based, but I think has a better desktop experience. support.system76.com/articles/dif...

Personal opinions about NeoVim distributions aside, I agree. Vim or NeoVim will change the way you think about text editing and navigation for the better. It's also extremely satisfying, fun, and some version (of vi) is available almost everywhere. Consider it a core UNIX skill.

There were more than 2 candidates on the ballot, so winning the most votes doesn't necessarily imply winning the majority of them. He won the popular vote with a plurality of the votes (the largest vote share), but not the majority (>50% of all votes cast).

The `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` environment​ variable is what your shell needs to handle this properly. tmux also has an `update-environment` session option that lets you specify environment variables to update. You could also have your shell create a symlink to the socket and make tmux check a fixed path.

Honestly, just repetition. Years of using the CLI all day every day. When I need to do something, I reach for the terminal rather than a GUI, and now I seem like a wizard to many of my peers.

Seeing even the faintest hint of the #AuroraBorealis in South Carolina was not a thing I ever expected, but twice in the same year is downright wild.

What is it they say? Postgres is the second best choice for everything? And if you aren't sure what the best choice is, just use Postgres anyway.

If you truly have an unstructured document, can't easily normalize it, and want to store it in a document database, fine.

Most of the data I care about, though, has relationships to other data, and would benefit from an RDBMS.

Sometimes I feel like Shrek caught a bit too much flak for living in a swamp. The #swamp and #marsh are both beautiful.
