Might as well do alias nvim=vim while you’re at it

What are your thoughts on Sway? Are there things in your i3 setup that you can’t migrate easily?

Looks really good. What color themes are you using?

I’ve only dipped my toes in so far, but a really great thing is you can have multiple full length-half width windows open if you need multiple references to whatever you’re working on.

Simple example: you’re designing a middleware app. You can set up the windows

backend code | your code | frontend code

or

documentation | your code | reference code

In a tiler you’d probably have to make them half-length, switch them out, put them on other workspaces… In a scrolling wm you can just scroll back and forth, with your work still on your screen:

[ documentation | your code ]

scroll right

[ your code | reference code ]

scroll left

[ documentation | your code ]

(of course you can set this up with more than two columns)

I find it’s a really really nice and smooth workflow

I agree. Although I think it’s important to shift what’s good enough and to have empathy for those who struggle. A lot of racism in Europe is focused around immigrants “not trying hard enough”, like refusing to speak to people that have an accent. “Why can’t they just learn? It’s not that hard.” It actually is that hard, Cathrine. Try navigating Swedish bureaucracy with your Duolingo food-ordering skills and you’ll see. Some people won’t ever learn proper grammar and tiny nuances and that’s okay, you can have a full conversation anyway.

“Dump 100 average 10-year-olds in Spain and most will be able to reach near-native fluency without much effort. Dump 100 average 35-year-olds in Spain and most won’t reach near-native fluency without struggling a great deal.”

is NOT saying

“Having an accent is bad; only perfect pronunciation is good enough.”

“You need flawless grammar to be able to communicate.”

“Hard = impossible”

“There is no point in learning a language if you struggle.”

“35-year-olds shouldn’t even try.”

I got a bunch of downvotes for my comment. I guess you’re not the only one reading “it’s much harder” = “there is no point”. I did not say that. The article I linked did not say that. On the contrary, the article talks about hos the critical period seems to be longer than they previously thought.

For near-native fluency, there is an age cap at around 10 years. It’s much harder for adults, as their critical learning period is closed: https://news.mit.edu/2018/cognitive-scientists-define-critical-period-learning-language-0501

However there is evidence that psychedelics can open up critical periods for social learning (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06204-3) and ongoing research about other critical periods, language learning being one of them.

It’s the other way around … yellow is choleric and black is melancholic

What? C++ is definitely black bile and Cobol is definetly yellow bile.

Can you play DOOM on the light switch?

What exactly do you mean by a “non-unixlike OS”? Like, do you just want an OS that does not require any knowledge of Unix from the start?

If you’d list a few “unixlike” features you’d like to avoid I’m sure we’d be able to find something that fits you.

That’s 19% of your time spent with your friends on the bus.

Have you heard of Argentine ants?

Yes. Imagine how filthy your teeth would be if you just chewed the toothpaste, and skipped the mechanical cleaning of brushing/flossing.

1. Start writing a small game in Godot using GDScript (basically Python)
2. Use the Godot docs to read about C# alternatives to GDScript as you go, compare them and see how they differ
3. Translate bit by bit of your game to C# using the docs
4. Congrats, you have written a game in C#

You can implement Display for custom structs, to print them in the regular manner:

use std::fmt;

struct Point {
    x: i32,
    y: i32,
}

impl fmt::Display for Point {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
        write!(f, "({}, {})", self.x, self.y)
    }
}

fn main() {
    let point = Point { x: 10, y: 20 };
    println!("{}", point); // using standard println!
}

You can also implement things like Add, Sub, AddAssign (point_a += point_b)… :)
