Am I imagining things or was GitKraken from 10 years ago so much higher quality? I don't remember it being an electron app and having many of those bugs associated with being an electron app. The UI and UX also have a lot of paper cuts.

@reillywood.com Hey! Somehow stumbled upon a resource that you shared a while ago: twitter.com/reillywood/s.... I was wondering if you somehow remember who made the modified version, would like to give credit.

I'm just so frustrated that I have to figure out how to get my system to switch back to the battle-tested tools that we've been using for more than 2 decades now...

To be clear, I love Rust. But it seems this was rushed out the door too quickly. The rationale seems to be "improving security", which can't be denied, but it's also true that neither GNU coreutils nor sudo are teeming with vulnerabilities.

Image of running "mktemp -d --suffix -dotfiles" and "sudo -v". First, mktemp does not recognize the suffix that starts with a hyphen. Second, sudo does not recognize the "admin_flag" setting.

I'm completely baffled and utterly flabbergasted by Ubuntu's decision to replace GNU coreutils and sudo with Rust equivalents.

I understand that 25.10 isn't an LTS release, but I expect things to be more polished. 😬

Right off the bat, I'm hit with bugs for their version of `mktemp` and `sudo`:

Amazing! TNG gives me so much nostalgia

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too πŸ’›

long rectangular canvas on an easel. The painting is a nebula with a lavender background fading into pink and orange (from left to right). In the middle is a dense spire with more browns and oranges.

80% complete. Just have to finish the right side & add the stars! ✨

Also, my Cassiopeia A painting is done being photographed, so I’ll be ordering test prints on Monday. Trying to finish the year off strong with lots of awesome art!

Should have probably said, a significant subset of developers in the first sentence

It's proprietary, which is generally disfavored among developers. It's also owned by Microsoft, which has made various moves that displace or discourage the use of existing open-source software. I've also been noticing that GitHub has become more slow and buggy

it is impossible to generate code comments from source code because good comments are definitionally based on things not in the source code (intent, counterfactuals, experiments, etc.)

Hmm, I didn't know about that perspective, even though I prefer savory foods! I like them as long as they're easy to remember and used frequently

That looks so cool! Thanks for sharing

That way, I could have, say, light/dark purple for ESlint warns/errors, yellow/red for TypeScript warns/errors. I feel it would work better across other ecosystems like C++ and Rust as well

Maybe VSCode already has this, but if I really wanted to differentiate errors visually, I would prefer setting configuration manually that would allow me to set an underline color based on some "linterName", "builtinLinterSeverity" values

I'm kind of torn. The reasoning makes sense, and in general I think would be good to differentiate errors that actually identify runtime errors vs. other logical errors.

But on the other hand, I really do prefer only two options that mean "errors that break the build" vs "errors that do not";.

Maybe ghlint, ghcheck, or even forgelint? This would be useful! I personally have some checks[1] for hiding the "projects" or "wiki" tabs but nothing more comprehensive like this

Has anybody else purchased Zebra's Sarasa MarkOn and experienced pen skipping? Maybe I'm storing the pens incorrectly?

Reading the recipe 100% through helped me a lot! And visualizing the steps. idk maybe its obvious to some 😭

I do a little bit and I feel the same way. Usually I have to make the dish a few times, and optimize the "scheduling" (if you will) of the substeps to actually get close to the "predicted time". Maybe its the little bit of ADHD in me

Git's builtin aliases are so useful! I think the only necessary shell alias would be `g='git'`
