What is it that makes excel so exceptional?

Imagine a flatpack but made by canonical

yes exactly, that’s why I felt I had to take the time to fix it.

This is similar to my experience. I have never used agents, but I have worked on projects with people who have. They could create PRs in a few hours that would take me half a week to fix.

The agent would do things like create a new type definition in the same file as the function that used it. Except we already had a type definition in the types file so that it could be imported into different parts of the code.

I try to employ “DRY” practices where applicable because it improves the readability, maintainability and extensibility of the code. A random word generator will never be able to understand things like the structure and architecture of the project, nor the project requirements, so it is liable to always increase technical debt.

You have over 100gb of ram? What do you need so much ram for?

👍 much better

Yes that’s a very good point. I played with python’s CSV module recently to make some graphs with numpy and it seems pretty good. I’ll check out visidata - at the moment I’m experimenting with the idea that there is always a better option than using excel style spreadsheets. I’m seeing how much I can achieve while never opening excel/calc/gnumeric

The page is a bit narrow on mobile

Very cool thanks for sharing. I don’t have a CSV viewer app in “Open with…” context menu because I don’t have a file manager…

Last time I had to deal with a large CSV file I think I just used some combination of sort, wc, cut and grep. Or I import it to python and use numpy

It’s an internet slang that means to excessively fawn over someone.

DM me a link I’ll take a look tomorrow

I watched half of the DHH interview in awe of the non stop glazing. Blocked his channel after that embarrassing display.

Good advice. I splashed out on the kinesis advantage. A two week holiday and switching to the ergo keyboard cured my tennis elbow. It’s very expensive and took a long time to get used to but I wouldn’t go back.

I also installed Tridactyl Firefox extension for vim bindings. I don’t use it often but it is handy when you are coding in vim and need to keep switching to a browser to read documentation.

Edit: The annoying thing about the kinesis is that it only comes in US layout. So when I use it as a UK device I have to do some funny business to get a backslash.

I disagree with this suggestion. They said they have a tight budget and want noise blocking headphones. Shokz are great (especially for audiobooks and podcasts) but they are expensive and specifically designed to not block sound. They sound muffled and weird if you use ear plugs.

I went there a few years ago

You can also buy computer monitors up to about 32" to use as a TV. Above 32" all the OLED displays seem to be curved or ultra wide.

Also projectors don’t tend to have smart features.

I am curious about your workflow, are you writing your blog posts in markdown, the using an online markdown to html converter, then copy pasting the output onto your website?

Also this is a good resource for learning some CSS: https://css-tricks.com/

They have some very helpful guides for things like flex boxes: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

How are you generating the html?

I partially blame people with big audiences that keep hyping him up and platforming him. Primeagen interviewed him on YouTube and was worshipping him the entire video. Embarrassing display.
