🧐 Nrmn @n4n • 1w ago I'm doing good. But I have a problem. I need to leave but the cat on my lap is sleep-purring. 2 replies Dan @booner • 1w ago Pretty good despite the amount of cheese I've been heaping onto my food this week. I should be banned from buying more but instead I just went shopping and found a bunch of applewood, brie, and spicy stuff on clearance.. 2 replies Diva @diva • 1w ago Apologies for being late in my reply; yes I am well and I hope you are too. It's busy at work; I'm hoping to do some socially distant socialising with friends soon though. reply

👉 Léo @trohs • 1w ago Feeling super happy. I just found a reference that says _exactly_ what I want to claim in a paper: electric motors are getting better thanks to multiphysics simulation. Thank you IEEE! spectrum.ieee.org/... 5 replies ¬

@burensasub • edited 1w ago Sorry, I just need to vent: What's frustrating is that I finally get motivation and energy to work on personal projects on my last day off before heading back to work. Once the work week begins I'll have absolutely no energy to do anything outside of work and daily chores. And it'll be weeks or months before I have the same motivation again.Sometimes two days off is not enough. 5 replies ¬

🧐 Nrmn @n4n • 1w ago I so feel you. And even if I find the energy and time to do something on a weekday, it would be so late that I should stop after an hour again because I need to get up the next day. 2 replies Dan @booner • 1w ago very relatable. I've resorted to just keeping an ideas notebook with me and trying to theory craft as much as I can in the spare moments of the day. It's gone from actual project work to a form of escapism, then after bouncing between a few pages for a while there's usually something laid out clearly enough that I can daydream about the other parts. I have so many projects on the back burner just waiting for an extended motivation push. 1 reply

👨‍💻🎧 Matthieu V. @matthieu • 1w ago Hello ! I come back from some holidays and now I'm wondering if it would be worth it to learn vi/vim keybindings (maybe change my IDE when possible with some vim/neovim, install keybinding in other editors) ? If yes, what method would you recommend to me to learn them ? 4 replies ¬

🗨🐢 Keb @keb • 1w ago I've heard vimtutor is great for this. reply 👂 Sly @sly • 1w ago Go through vimtutor, read this: yannesposito.com/S... then start using it as your main editor, try to avoid switching to another editor. Start building your vimrc one step at a time and try to make it meet your workflow. If you're lazy, start using something like spacevim, i wouldn't recommend that but it might help if you want to get productive right away. reply Miso @m15o • 1w ago I used to watch destroyallsoftware... - he uses vim in a very nice way, and it gives an overview of how an advanced vim user writes code. reply 🧐 Nrmn @n4n • 1w ago I used vim for over a decade and also neovim for a bit when it cam out but ended up with Kakoune. I absolutely recommend you vim if you feel like you will need the support of a strong community and lots of ready made extensions. Otherwise I'd suggest you to check out Kakoune. reply

Dan @booner • 1w ago I know rss is dying, but does anyone know which news agencies and whatnot still support it? Don't suppose there's an 'awesome rss collection' floating around 3 replies ¬

Miso @m15o • 1w ago Has anyone played Tibia? It's an old-school MMORPG I've heard about for a while and today I tried it. It's loads of fun, but feels a little grindy. 2 replies ¬

☕💻 Tk Master @tkmaster • 3d ago talking about time, I just realized in a recent post that subreply printed "130 ms ago" for a comment. That's so cool, here we "trim" things differently 1 reply

Max @brazyboder • 1w ago Does anyone have any recommendations for how to make the jump into software development? I'm currently doing the 2020 Java MOOC and coding through Automate the Boring Stuff.

🤔✍️ David @dvaun • 1w ago What sort of programming work are you interested in? Depending on the focus there are different resources that can assist you on your journey. If you are interested in webdev, my recommendation is to work through some of the larger, free projects--e.g. freecodecamp.org, theodinproject.com, open.appacademy.io--which would expose you to many tasks and projects. Aside from that, build things that you would use yourself :) if you have any questions feel free to ask 1 reply

@burensasub • edited 1w ago Today definitely feels like fall, but I have to remind myself that we'll probably go through another heat wave in early October before we get into the cold weather in earnest...so those fall/winter clothes will have to remain in the storage bin for now! 1 reply ¬

Diva @diva • 1w ago Yep! It's felt Autumnal here for a week or so; but the forecast next week is for 29C??? (84F) reply

🗨🐒 Fui @fui • 1w ago I have been thinking about the pains of relationship break-ups and their possible causes. What's the evolutionary path to responses like these? I theorize that the reason lies on our social nature, more specifically on our deep dependence on strong community ti in order to survive. In an atomized world like ours, where we belong to no other tribe than our immediate family, breakups easily trigger the fear if death response of being outcasted from the tribe. What do you think? 1 reply ¬
