I've had no trouble so far. I'd have no problem with ephemeral build artifacts going either at the root, or in src.

edit: I have had one pain point: devs/managers ask me why I do that, and that I stop. I refuse.

Weirdo checking in

I always initialize my projects with a src, and docs, directory, for exactly this reason.

My reasoning is that I shouldn't have to go hunting for the docs for the code, or vice versa.

Maybe I'm being silly, but I felt a strange existential dread watching the video. I asked myself: who is being marketed toward? In my head, it's Apple lovers that want to larp as car people, and having the money to waste on such an endeavor.

edit: I just realized, I don't know the price, but I've basically described tesla people. I wonder how many of these buyers already own one...

edit 2: price is around 600,000 USD -- it's a super tesla!

Modern CSS makes me long for Hi5 to make a comback. My profile would be killer.

I'd end up with something like this if I ever had the time. Instead of a corporate wiki, though, I'd probably use something like sphinx to compile PDF files, and store them on the public workspace.

Is this a recent addition? I recall attempting to do this some years ago, failing, and putting the tool out of my mind as a result. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

> the plain text file is embedded

Hold the phone -- some PNG files have plain text representations embedded within? That's nuts, I had no idea!

I have a love/hate relationship with diagrams, and diagrams-as-code-things (plantuml, mermaid, etc). As a programmer, I find myself trying to turn everything in to a software project: everything must be version control-able. Same with these diagramming solutions -- except I nearly never know what I want the digram to look like, when I start "writing" it. This means I nearly always end up on something like lucid.app just sketching out the solution, and thinking to myself that I'll turn it in to a beautiful diagram with one of the earlier solutions, later -- that never happens. So now I have a diagram I can link to (yay), but can't version control (boo).

Then, I discovered excalidraw[1]: it lets me sketch like lucid, but isn't nearly as polished or robust: you can throw together simple shapes, draw lines between them, and the lines stick to the shapes, so you can move them around and the lines move too. You can also group things together, and draw freehand, and also include text -- what more do you need?

The cool thing about excalidraw is that you can share your drawings, and export them as SVG files -- yay! I can version them again. You can also self-host it, which is a massive plus in my book.

I hope this happens. I can only dream of the day when my country gets something like this.

Yes, panic is a large part of the problem. I think I recall the feeling once, when my dad was teaching me to swim around 4 or 5. I think I tried to stand up, and just sunk, then I tried to pull myself up, and grasped at water. I figure at that point my dad just plucked me out of the water and told me to try again haha

The description makes me think this can reproduce a cool workflow demonstration I saw a few years ago on reddit[1].

That's interesting. I've been using git every day for about 8 years, I've never found myself in a situation where I couldn't fix something I broke. But maybe that time will come.

I think this is the first time I've seen someone say they outright hate git. Why?

Also, there's snapdrop[1] that does almost the same thing, for free, without the need to install anything. It'd probably be wiser that snapdrop were a native application; then it's dev would not need to pay to host the client application anywhere.

I say this as a software developer using Emacs daily as my IDE: emacs is not an IDE -- at least not OOTB. It can become a competent IDE, but that isn't what it's built for. Instead, I think of Emacs as an overengineered elisp REPL.

That said, I would love to see the issues you mentioned addressed, and would love to see how the EAF[1] does in the future.

> It started off as a way for me to learn ... and somehow turned into something useful

This is the way.

Any change you open sourced those parsers? I also switched from GnuCash to ledger-cli a long time ago, so I'm interested to see your solution.

I really wish there was a way to annotate youtube videos easily. Kind of like hypothesis[1], but for video/streaming content.

edit: turns out there is something already: https://docdrop.org/

Just dropping this gem of a talk[1], for the uninitiated. There is a place for this, even if people in the thread have never seen it.

> What other stuff are they up to?

I see in another comment that he was found out while under investigation for something else entirely.

This seems seriously cool. I wonder if its constant recording is going to fill up my HDD.

edit: found the storage option. It defaults to keeping all data, but I've changed that to one month retention -- they say they use around 14GB a month.

It reminds me of having to use screen recording software for a previous remote job. I wished I could use that recording to do something exactly like this. Now, if only one could flip the script, and make the employer request that recording, instead of forcing one to share it.

This was exactly my thought process before switching to vim.

Can I finally have my :dumpster-fire: emoji?

That's interesting. So, if I understand this thread at all, your projects may help me to "preserve" my "wealth", with ledger?

Anybody care to define "wealth management" as opposed to run-of-the-mill personal accounting? Why would I use this instead of ledger[1], for example?

> it always get extremely messy

I have found having my own, personal, task management system was the foil for this. It is extra overhead, but at least I always have a system that works for me, even if everyone else is mired in chaos.

It always amazes me that these large companies insist on reinventing the wheel.

I still stubbornly hope that one of these silicone valley boys will "invent" USENET, and package it up nicely for the masses. That'd be cool.

I would say because of how it must be installed, and that it is probably not common knowledge. In my country, it is not unheard of, but I hadn't heard of it until my electrician mentioned seeing one on a car he worked on recently. I asked if he can install one for me, and he said he doesn't know how, nor did he know the name of the person that installed the one on the other car.

My site seems unaffected.
