Magit is incredible! It’s a thin layer over git commands but with a nice discoverable UI. Even if I’m using a different tool to write the code I’ll still use Magit for the repo.

How do you feel about Arc<Mutex<T>>? Personally, I just put every variable in an Arc Mutex to make my life easier.

What do you use instead?

They just keep innovating! Amazing!!!

Because the mouse is useless with only one button so you have to use the keyboard.

I think ignorance (in the non pejorative sense) plays a big part. I can’t really blame my non technical friends for not fully understanding that ditching Facebook for Instagram doesn’t help. Even if they know it’s the same company, it’s still a totally different product, right? There’s also a certain apathy or need to just get something done.

I’m sure I’ve purchased things at Home Depot that would make a plumber cringe, but I know nothing about that sort of thing and I just need to get my sink working.

Still, I think those of us who do know should continue to lead by example. My friends know my stance on these things and some of them are coming around.

I’ll have to give it a try!

I don’t really get the floating bar myself. Doesn’t it take up more space and make it so you can’t slam the mouse to the bottom of the screen to click things on it?

Same.

I use Bortmatic to manage my repos and I pay a little bit to BorgBase for offsite backup of my important stuff.

That video!! Yeah, I don’t believe it either. Sort of reminds me of doing Kung Fu as a kid. We’d do public demonstrations and would sometimes ham it up a bit for the audience. I wonder if that’s what’s going on.

Have you practiced push hands? There’s a neat effect I can only describe as sort of being able to bounce off the other person. You can get some decent air with it! I also wonder if there’s a bit of that going on with a lot of exaggeration.

I agree with you about the “weird stuff”. I teach Tai Chi and I’m very careful about the words I use, especially when it comes to describing mechanical forces. I’ll often mention that I don’t mean some notion of “life force” but rather the physical Newtonian force that your body is subject to while performing the movements.

I find Tai Chi to be deceptively complicated with deep physical and psychological components. I have a hard time articulating what it is to others since it’s not really a martial art, and it’s not really meditation, and it’s not just a bunch of movements or calisthenics. But it does have very real effects and I love it!

It sounds like your experience is quite similar to mine and I’m happy you found a good teacher and are enjoying the practice! 😀

The software will likely work, but keep in mind that you’ll have to add VM startup time when you want to use the software. I have occasionally seen software behave strangely in a VM as well, so best to just try it.

Can you share the software you went to use? Maybe there’s a good Linux alternative or someone knows how to get it working in wine.

Is this the one using the open source kernel module?

He’s just not fully materialized yet.

This is sad. I really like the app!

What’s everyone using instead?

The Bangle.js 2 is pretty cool

In this context the use of “they” is just proper English though. I can’t fault someone who speaks a gendered language from using gendered pronouns as is proper in that language, but the use of “they” in English is correct and hardly political or exclusive. Every language is going to have rules that may be strange to non-native speakers, but any “confusion” is easily remedied by explaining that’s just how the language works. I find that’s also part of the fun of learning another language. I especially love trying to mix the rules of one language into another to see how silly it sounds. :)

Found them!

It’s based on Iced, but it looks like they have their own fork. Anyone know how extensive their changes are and how much gets merged upstream?

Hopefully something that gets cut for the final release 😂
