The killer feature of kitty for me is `crtl-shift-e`[0]. I really wish more emulators would copy it. Wezterm has explicit hyperlinks[1], but it requires you to click it with a mouse which is the last thing I want to do when inside a terminal.

It depends on your workflow and on your resolution too. For example I do most things exclusively inside the terminal. If you are using vim, and are making use of splits, on a 4k60hz(or 1440p144hz) screen and want to scroll on one split and not the other, you will notice how slow and laggy redraws are. This was especially noticeable on macos (yay work computers) for me, which led me down the GPU accelerated terminal rabbit hole. iterm2 had its metal renderer, which (at the time) only worked with ligatures disabled, whereas kitty/wez/etc did not have that limitation.

The litmus test I use is how smooth can the terminal emulator run `cmatrix` at fullscreen

Honestly the biggest blocker for me is just how slow emacs feels compared to (n)vim. Using both in a gpu accelerated terminal emulator, emacs just feels slower especially on larger files.

Granted, I have not tried to use emacs once the jit landed in 28 (or was it 29?). But it's something I really would really like to use since instead of having a different application for irc/mail/etc it could all just be emacs.

> Convoy is the fastest open-source webhooks gateway available today

The site mentions multiple times that convoy is the fastest, but fastest in what sense? Is anyone able to find/point me to benchmarks on the site to backup that claim.

> I'm talking about the code being tested having global state that is deeply entrenched in how it works

Could you give a specific/actual example of this? Technically a database is global state that is deeply entrenched in how an app works, but its trivial to make order independent tests that require certain records to exist.

Yes it does[0]. Which makes the parent comment even more hilarious.

It seems like it manages some metadata around google docs, but google docs is doing all the heavy lifting (creating/editing/sharing documents). Which begs the question, why?

By titling itself as a document management system I would assume it would be something like paperless-ngx[0] or mayan edms[1]. The latter of which has a built in workflow system[2].

But by being tied to google docs you can't really self host the important parts

Since make 3.82 (which is about 12 years old now) supports `.RECIPEPREFIX`

> I'm still baffled as to why people treat Github like a public library

Because too many open source projects rely on it. Projects like crates.io force you to have a github account to use it. Most (neo)vim plugin managers give preferential treatment to github over other forges.

No kidding look at this list: https://curl.se/docs/companies.html

Right but if you want to edit and fix files that failed compilation, using `:make` and the quickfix list is the vim way of doing it

That's why you have `:make` which uses `errorfmt` to populate your quickfix list, which is covered in the help `:h make`

In my case not really. There is server side scanning in which plex shares data about your media with their backend. Not sure if there is any setting to disable that.

As far as the web client goes ublock origin handles it for me.

Not only that, I don't want my adblocker to have to block services running on my local network (they have some analytics + sentry).

What sort of comments did you make?

> This means that GitHub has effectively suspended my ability to participate in the development community, and also I cannot work as well, because my company uses GitHub

> I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m afraid, I’m going to be fired if I can’t work

You'll have to have a discussion with your employer/manager about why you can't use github any more.

In no real order

1. wide range of OS's you can target

2. no dependency on libc, you can build and copy over a binary to a machine and it will work

3. fast compiles

4. amazing stdlib, makes writing no to low dependency code very attainable

(imo) there's very little reason to start a new backend project in ruby/python/js when you can just use go and get better performance

Its one of the most in demand languages, at least according to linkedin in my area.

Because C can run on almost everything? For example, take Doom and the whole "Can it run Doom?" meme

> I'm more so curious on what your first counterpoints in your mind would be

Just some anec-data. I did not have any consoles growing up simply because we could not afford them. Eventually we got a single very old very slow machine that was shared among the family. I know a few other people in the same situation (usually 1st/2nd generation immigrants). Thus in my mind, video games are luxury products, which are not affordable to low income households.

Just my 2 cents on this

> I don't quite remember something and having the internal file history with a diff readily available.

You're already in a terminal, git is just one command away

> Some of the click and find implementation/usages never seems to quite there to me.

This really depends on the language you are working in, but generally vim's gd (and plugins that augment it) enough most of the time, otherwise grep/rg if you know what you are looking for. If you are using something really dynamic, e.g. ruby, then you're pretty much shit out of luck.

> I could go on, if you're truly being productive and not missing out on feature, more power to you.

Here's the thing, the best part about it vim is that it is not slow (plus paired with a terminal emulator like kitty/wez/alacritty). When I type the characters actually appear on the screen as I type them. With most IDE's (at least the ones I have used) there is a noticeable delay from when I have stopped typing and characters appearing on screen.

Another thing to add is that vim is very fast to start up and shut down, I open and close vim multiple times as I am working. With an IDE, startup times are atrocious and dont really fit my work style of cd'ing somewhere quickly editing something, cd'ing somewhere else and rinse and repeat.

In general I find the original command line tools to be much better than IDE provided equivalents or integrations, there's no unnecessary animations and much less cpu/ram usage. Though one exception for me is the database clients, where I much rather prefer a GUI than using the CLI client.

Your tests are already runnable from command line (assuming CI is setup).

Basically, Unix becomes your IDE

Source on that? Video games (console or pc) is very expensive and not something low income folks can generally afford for their kids.

That's the right way to do TDD, see this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ05e7EMOLM

One of the above comments mentions BDD as a close cousin to TDD, but that is wrong as TDD is actually BDD as you should only be testing behaviours, which allow you to "fearlessly refactor"

I've worked at two very large rails shops (think >10 billion dollar companies) both of which have had stupidly high ram requirements for their code without any image processing. Gitlab which also happens to be another billion dollar rails shop, also requires a stupid amount of ram as per the parent comment. I wonder what the common thread is...
