Helix is, but I don’t think Zed is? At least not by default. It has a command palette and multi-buffer, multi-cursor, but not visual/normal/nsert/etc AFAIK

Zed’s pretty new on the scene, but it’s worth a look

Y’all know what I do fer a livin’

Reminded me of Quint from Jaws!

Don’t know if this will help assuage your fears: https://www.techradar.com/news/mullvads-no-log-policy-proven-after-police-raid

I’ve used Mullvad for years, and from what I know, they store almost nothing – only your randomly generated account number. If you are paying using an anonymous method that’s even less to go on.

Also looking forward to this week here. Work from home is awesome! I just spent a month and a half on a cross-country (USA) road trip while working the whole time. I’m fortunate for the opportunity to do so–and to visit and crash with friends and family along the way–but I am glad to be home.

My wife and I towed a 5’ x 8’ U-haul trailer the 2,000+ miles back home from FL to CO, moving our friend’s stuff in so he can live with us for a while (he drove back with us in his own car). A really awesome trip in a lot of respects, but stressful to take meetings and try to program on the go. Learned my lesson: two weeks max for a trip like that, or take the PTO.

Am I one of the few who just doesn’t use AI at all? I don’t have to generate tons of code for work at the moment and brand new projects that I’ve been given are small–meaning I wouldn’t necessarily use it to generate starter boilerplate. I have coworkers that love copilot or spend much longer prompting ChatGPT than they would if they wrote code themselves. A majority of my time is spent modelling the problem, gathering rejuirements, researching others’ solutions online (likely this step could be better AI-assisted?), not actually implementing a solution in code.

Anyway, I’m not super anti-AI in software development, and I see where it could be useful. Maybe it just isn’t for me yet. The current hype around it as well as the attitude of big-tech exceptionalism (“AI can salve all our problems”) feels a bit like a bubble, at least regarding the current generation of LLMs and ML

I thought the same and just rolled with it. What was the whole jean thing anyway?

Feel exactly this… Sometimes you just still want one randomly. But 99.999% of the time do not think about it at all anymore

*sigh can’t have any fun in the DOT I guess

• I turned my old desktop into a home server, which let me cancel some streaming services… and I set up an rpi4 as a kodi server.
• Signed up for Firefox Relay (had a holiday sale) to have email masks and a proxy phone number, which should help with spam & marketing crap.
• Stopped using Reddit in favor of lemmy (which I hope to contribute to this year)
• Gonna have to find a replacement for mint, since it’s dying this month

Thank you for this chuckle hehe

My thoughts exactly. DRM has rone way off the deep end

What do you mean by “doesn’t read from the same directory”? Is part of your application’s function to read in data from files in your project’s directory tree?

Without seeing the directory structure of your project, or some more actual code samples its hard to understand how to help 😅

That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work…

Wow that’s nice! I get 600/25mbps for $80USD in the US, coax 😞 wish fiber-to-the-premise was a possibility in my neighborhood

10Gb to the home? Where have you seen this, and.for how much? I had no idea that was a thing for residential

Ahh I missed that!

Makes more sense then – that seemed a bit long for any update

I booted up that system and after waiting an hour or so for Windows Update to finish

… 🙄

Crazy workstation though – wish I had need for all that power so I could justify buying one to play with

https://regexlearn.com/ is interactive to get you started.

Then try reading maybe the python regex docs for more detailed info. There are multiple flavors of regex as well, which makes it even more confusing (yay), but you’ll eventually grok it enough to make it a part of your toolbox! I use simple regex frequently for search/replace (VScode or vim), and in the shell.

For more complex string parsing operations, there’s often a faster/better method than regex, but it’s really good to know.

Me and my brother would sit in the magazine aisle at the grocery store and pore over Nintendo Power like it was a religious text lol

Also, you just made me remember getting all those demo discs with PlayStation magazine
