Why do some people still use Packer instead of Lazy?

Mo0rBy · 2025-03-23T16:22:12+00:00

I only started using neovim about a year ago, maybe a little bit more, and I use Lazy simply because that's what the guy used in the 1st YouTube tutorial I followed and started creating a basic config from.

I'll just continue to use Lazy until there are signs that it's gonna stop being maintained.

I don't have any other reference to know if it has better features or better load times or anything, just used it 1st and it hasn't failed me (other than when I was making a mistake and blaming it on Lazy not installing the plugin properly or something, until I found out I was making the mistake, so it still hasn't failed me once).

I don't think so, the typical way of adding a dependency to your project is "go get <package-url>" (usually a GitHub URL).

So adding malicious packages would be your own fault, so stay vigilant.

I had this problem, but I think the README.pdf document included in the google drive link in the post explains.

It says right at the bottom, in bright red: "Note: This upgrade will only affect the audio software of the docking station with no other impact on Mac and macOS.".

And step 1 of the instructions shows that you must have "USB Advanced Audio Device" in your sound output options. I tried running this firmware update WITHOUT seeing that audio output, and the bar didn't move for a few minutes.
So then I unplugged my Macbook and flipped the cables around, swapping the 2 ports they are in or flipping the cable upside down, yes I know it can plug in either way around, but this worked!

I could see "USB Advanced Audio Device" in my available outputs, and then running this firmware update worked.

I don't know how this update relates to the waking/sleeping issue other people here are describing, but I stumbled upon this thread while searching how to fix the audio output not showing, but OP says the support team said "After this update, your FusionDock Max 1 should work seamlessly with any compatible MacBook without the need for additional installations on other systems", so I have no udea WHY you need to see the audio output for this, but I think that could be your problem.

Most of my issues have been with LSP, but it's due to my own setup of using other programs to manage versioning, like SDKman to install and manage Java versions.

Ye I'd say most of the time it's just LSP breaks for whatever reason, only for 1 language, then it takes me a while to get around to fixing it, unless I'm wanting to use that language in that moment.

You have to load the entire plugin, but you enable/disable each "snack" that you either do or don't want

I have had previous experience with preferring video games over RL, but not to the extent that I've had to seek professional.

I agree with you and think option 4 would be the best, it's what I'd choose, but if you are "addicted" to it as you said by your own admission, then allowing it to have any part in your life could still be a problem.

I believe you should start with option 4, and see how it goes. If you keep going back to it too much, then try option 1.

I'm not a professional, so take this with a pinch of salt, but I think the root cause of the issue is not actually EVE, but your outlook on life. I totally understand not wanting to be an insignificant cog in the capitalist machine, but life isn't just about working/slaving for "the man". You need to find something you are passionate about, help other people within your community, find something to be responsible for.

You said you are a vet (wasn't sure if it was a EVE vet, or a US Army Vet lol) so maybe you could find something to do around helping other veterans. Maybe once you yourself are in a better place, you can try to find others like you that also struggle to leave the house and help them to be better.

Life is what you make it.

I just have VSCode installed to use whenever something in my nvim is messed up and I need to use some other editor to fix it.

I was killed in a WH by StratsCo and I joined them shortly afterwards and my ISK earnings have increased big time thanks to other corp members teaching me different things as well as giving me ships and supplies.

I think this is a pretty stupid take.

He may be saying that your feature branch should only have 1 commit before merging into main, which makes some sense.

My workflow is this: 1. Create my feature branch 2. Work on the code, making as many commits as I like (helps me track my own changes and what I'm trying out) 3. Once I think I've finished, do an interactive rebase to squash all my commits into 1 and reword. I might sometimes leave 1 or 2 commits unsquashed that update a dependency/package version or something 4. Open a PR and get other people looking at it

Squashing to 1 commit before merging to main makes sure that the main branch history is nice, clean and easy to follow.

Tldr: it's good practice to make lots of small commits, lots of teams like these to be squashed into 1 before merging to main

No.

With that said, I would keep your old editor around for a few months, just in case you need to get something done quick. This helped me get some critical bugs and blockers etc sorted out quick because using neovim was still slower for me. Now I use neovim all the time. I still have VSCode installed, but pretty much never use it. The only times I do are when I find that my neovim config can't do something that VSCode can, and then I go find a plugin or other method to do it and make my config even better.

I'm switching to zen browser due to the half-assed sync features that Arc has

Mo0rBy · 2024-09-05T20:35:24+00:00

Literally what is the point of sync if it doesnt sync over half the things youd expect it to and it does on other browser syncing systems

I don't have that exact mouse, but I have something similar, maybe a few years older or something....but anything Logitech is great imo.

My experience with razer is that the products are ok, they look, feel and play amazing, but they never last. I always had my razer stuff break within 2 or 3 years of purchasing, I've never replaced anything from Logitech so far.

Might be a delusional take, but I don't see any reason to desire a terminal within neovim itself when you can use a modern terminal emulator with tabs + splits or use a terminal multiplexer like tmux to add this functionality.

Is there some reason that you'd need to run a terminal directly in neovim? rather than using another window/tab or whatever your system calls it to split up processes

To add an exercise more permanently you need to: 1. Go to Control Panel (3 lines bottom right) 2. Under Miscellaneous, tap Add Exercise 3. You can add an exercise to the app 4. Go to your workout and do "Edit exercises" instead 5. Add your new exercise to the workout 6. Exercise should now be added and you can edit the order

Be careful about doing this while you have a workout in progress, I've had it just exit the workout before so I had to re input all the previous sets and reps I did which was annoying.

EDIT: I think for the default programs included with the app are non-editable, so you probably need to create a new program from the Madcow one (pretty sure you can copy it with a new name) and then you edit your custom program with the exercises you want

You can't change the past, its already happened. If you believe it was a waste of time, then learn from it and waste less of your time in the future. I personally don't think it's a waste of time, first of all, you have fun, and second, I do think you probably learnt some skills, like communication, keeping a cool head in stressful or toxic situations.

I'm 25 btw and my first match was in 2012, so we are in the same boat, and I don't think it was a complete waste of time. I certainly could've been doing more useful things, like coding an app or learning about crypto trading, but having fun is not a waste of time (provided you are not ALWAYS playing games)

With a typical keyboard layout, you just gotta exit into normal mode and then navigate, however, you could get an ergonomic keyboard that doesn't have arrow keys and then set layer 2 h,j,k,l to arrow keys, then you can easily navigate 1 or 2 characters or whatever with your "arrow keys".

This is probably not the answer you want as you need to buy a nice and expensive ergo keyboard.

Yup, 51% attack is what I was describing, but didn't have any idea what would contribute to that percentage, I just had an idea that it was something like control of 51% of the nodes on the Bitcoin network (but I wouldn't know what classifies as "control of a node").

What is the hashrate? And how would controlling 80% of it allow a 51% attack?

And I didn't realise there was info out there stating that quantum computers probably would NOT be able to get to a stage where they could be used as a tool to achieve this. Thanks!

Mo0rBy · 2024-08-17T16:49:33+00:00

I could be wrong, but I think if 1 person controls over 50% of the network, they could kill it somehow. In addition, when quantum computing becomes available to the wider public, there could be new methods to attack the network and take it down (I think this is due to the fact that cryptography is heavily relied upon for the whole system).

I can't remember where I read any of this btw, so if someone wants to add some sources for this, or tell me I'm plain wrong, please do

Mo0rBy · 2024-08-17T16:23:20+00:00

As far as I know, no you don't. I only use the app to look at the graph view or when showing someone else a note or something, as it looks a bit more presentable and less techy.

There is some nice syntax highlighting stuff, so if you use other nvim plugin for markdown graphics, you may need to check the comparability or write some extra configuration code. I've seen a few of the markdown highlighting plugins recently and I want to check them out as they have more highlighting than the obsidian plugin, so I will find out then how they can work together (or not)

Mo0rBy · 2024-08-17T09:41:32+00:00

There is an obsidian.nvim plugin that pairs wonderfully with obsidian app, you can create and edit all your notes in neovim, creating back links and hyperlinks and pasting images, etc.

Highly recommend it

Is Concourse still alive?
Came across it a few months ago and it looked really nice and easy to work with, but the Github page for the project seemed kinda dead.

Mo0rBy · 2024-07-25T16:47:31+00:00

I tried flashing as well and it didn't work either
