vim-guru··on File Pilot: A file explorer built for speed with a modern, robust interface
You might as well sell this to Microsoft—they'd pay well, and more people would get to benefit from your great work!

It really makes you wonder what kind of bloat is slowing down Explorer and whether it's lurking elsewhere too.

vim-guru··on Show HN: SQL Noir – Learn SQL by solving crimes
What a great idea!
vim-guru··on Tailwind CSS v4.0
I assume that you don't even need javascript after a few releases of Firefox. All other major players support scoped styles.

vim-guru··on Tailwind CSS v4.0
CSS has become significantly more user-friendly than in the past, with most browsers now behaving consistently. It's worth learning as there is no build step involved, and it avoids cluttering your markup with excessive code.

You could opt to use style attributes directly within your HTML. Historically, we avoided this to maintain a separation of concerns, but it's puzzling why some prefer reintroducing similar methods. Is it just to save a few keystrokes? Using style attributes even seems more straightforward since it doesn't require translating code in your head.

I simply don't see the appeal.

vim-guru··on Show HN: I made an open-source laptop from scratch
Congratulations on a beautiful build!
vim-guru··on Show HN: Indentation-based syntax for Clojure
The parenthesis are a strength that allows for faster editing and easier parsing. Although I respect every en-devour to have fun with code, I hope people don't run with this as a serious option. It would be better to have editor extensions that emulate this with regular Clojure code; that! I could get behind.
vim-guru··on Org Mode Syntax Cheat Sheet (2017)
You might also like the org-babel features of creating executable code-blocks. You can even mix languages by using the output of one block as the input to another. Welcome to the future of 2012 ;) I made one such document a while back with mostly Clojure, if you want to have a look: https://github.com/dnv-opensource/reagent-flow/

vim-guru··on Google says it is obligated to disclose confidential info to U.S. government
Not really. Apple has recently implemented comprehensive encryption measures. They themselves cannot access your data, so there is nothing for them to disclose. It's hard to understand why anyone would choose anything other than Apple these days tbh.
vim-guru··on Show HN: I made helpers for Web Components
I began developing some web components without delving deeply into the mechanics of Lit and Polymer, aiming to identify gaps in the standard web components API. Early on, I created several decorators and, in hindsight, they closely resemble what Lit provides. Therefore, I might concede that Lit could become a standard. However, since I haven't used it personally, I can't fully endorse it yet.
vim-guru··on TTE: Terminal Text Effects
Wow! I did that Matrix-effect once in C#/mono. It turned out to be way more complicated than I initially thought. Well done!
vim-guru··on Show HN: Open-source BI and analytics for engineers
It's unfortunate that org-mode is not more wide-spread (linked to Emacs). Org-mode covers this and a million other use-cases. Don't get me wrong though, this looks really good. So, congrats to OP :)
vim-guru··on Show HN: Browser-based web design platform with code import and CSS filters
Looks good and quite intuitive. Bug report: Editing text doesn't work in FireFox.

vim-guru··on VideoGigaGAN: Towards detail-rich video super-resolution
How long until we can have this run real-time in the browser? :D
vim-guru··on Pijul is a free and open source (GPL2) distributed version control system
I'm just starting to explore Pijul, to be honest. My interest was sparked when I revisited an old Haskell project and remembered using Darcs years ago, which led me to research Pijul. I'll be able to share more insights in a few weekends, once the remote communication components of vc-pijul are established.
vim-guru··on Pijul is a free and open source (GPL2) distributed version control system
I'll try to allocate some time this weekend and also sign up for Zulip. Currently, I'm considering the best way to distribute it. Given that users are familiar with use-package and MELPA, it seems I may need to incorporate Git as well.
vim-guru··on Show HN: Justpath – a simple utility to explore the PATH environment variable
Your assessment is correct. But it really comes down to what type of shell that's running. For an interactive shell (one you open yourself in a terminal), the run-com file (.zshrc) will be loaded, so anywhere you put it, things will seemingly work. But if you start doing some task scheduling etc, that would fail if you have set your PATH in a run-com.
vim-guru··on Show HN: Justpath – a simple utility to explore the PATH environment variable
I think for most of its use-cases, you could replace it with a one-liner: alias path='echo -e ${PATH//:/\\n} ' and work with it via sort and uniq. I've had this alias in my configuration for a couple of decades now, so I'm not bashing on its usefulness though.
vim-guru··on Pijul is a free and open source (GPL2) distributed version control system
Not intentional; I used vim 10 years ago, but have been an emacser with vim-bindings for the past 7 I guess :)
vim-guru··on Pijul is a free and open source (GPL2) distributed version control system
Funny timing of this post. This past weekend, I dedicated myself to creating a comprehensive set of tools for integrating Pijul seamlessly into Emacs. This includes collaboration features through org-mode, which I believe will be refreshing. I'm eager to share it with the community shortly. For fellow Emacs & Pijul enthusiasts, keep an eye out!
vim-guru··on Notation Must Die: The Battle for How We Read Music [video]
PianoVision is great! We just need a DrumVision, GuitarVision, ThereminVision, NyckelharpaVision....
vim-guru··on How to Shuffle Songs? (2014)
I prefer randomizing lists but not songs. Spotify's user experience could be better in this regard tbh.
vim-guru··on Tell HN: The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is an excellent MacBook replacement
This could have been my reply. I even have the same stupid PC
vim-guru··on Show HN: Zelda Breath of The Wild Street View
Nice! My son really loves this game. I think the tiles should be processed into SVG. That's only a few moments of work, but would look so much better
vim-guru··on QEMU Internals (2021)
Now I tried Debian as well. It boots fine, but the username & password mentioned are incorrect. There's some way to go until this thing is usable I would say.
vim-guru··on QEMU Internals (2021)
I don't know. I'm a dev and just tried booting ArchLinux with UTM. All I got was a cryptic call trace on my M1. But yeah, if it had worked I would have considered it easy to use even for non devs.
vim-guru··on The Power C Compiler
I love these types of stories. I can definitely relate as I’ve traded games etc on floppies, but by the time I started developing software professionally, there was internet, ftp etc. Someone ought to create a film about the Apollo launch or some other pre-internet achievement and focus on these bits of the problem
vim-guru··on Proper use of Git tags
Although not git-tag specific, if you want to see a great rant on semantic versioning, I can highly recommend Rich Hickey's.

This!

This is gold
