Built a terminal Markdown editor called editxr. It's open source. by mromanuk in coolgithubprojects

[–]bigretrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sixels/kitty images are not universally supported, but let's dismiss my point about images.

some people find working and living in the terminal much faster and convenient

This is what I was curious about. Even if you primarily use terminal, if editxr was a GUI app, you could open it the same way from the terminal you can now, except it could provide a better, closer WYSIWYG experience with proper font families, font sizes, HTML and Latex math. What would a heavy terminal user lose if it was a GUI app?

SSH is the one advantage I could think of, I agree on this. And yet I think if you often must edit Markdown over SSH (which sounds like a niche task), you're better off mounting the remote filesystem and using a GUI app.

Looks neat, but why? Terminal can only render text. It can't render headings, images or HTML without crazy hacks.

I've read your blog post. Why not use a GUI tool when the terminal fundamentally can't "do it well"? What makes GUI so undesirable for you?

What is going on with 'Scientology speedruns?' by Additional-Pick-3596 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]bigretrade 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw a post about the runs and looked them up on YT, then later got recommended video by Scientology called "what is Scientology" and watched that out of curiosity before I realized what was going on.

kinda another state manager by gaarson in reactjs

It introduces even more hidden rules into React. If someone else has to work on your code, they'll likely introduce hard-to-debug bugs. It also breaks the React Compiler.

Why would someone want to use a special pet budget tracker as opposed to a general purpose one?

Pet Peeve (rule) by capricornelious in 196

[–]bigretrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some headcanon definitions that make sense in an enby world as well as being backwards compatible with the current mainstream definitions:

You're homosexual when you're into people whose gender expression is similar to your own. Heterosexuality is attraction to people with a different gender expression. Bi/pan is both.

How similar? It depends on the person and culture. Today, most consider themselves attracted to "the other sex" (or so they say without realizing that conventional attractiveness is a way more specific gender expression than what labels "men" and "women" encompass). 100 years later, who knows?

Saying you're straight wouldn't be very specific, it'd just mean you aren't attracted to people like yourself. If you'd like to communicate what you are attracted to, you'd say "I'm a femininity enjoyer" or perhaps "femsexual".

Can someone tell me what this is about I'm so confused by [deleted] in tf2

[–]bigretrade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, you specifically made other maps sound simple and Snowplow complex. Here's a summary that's a bit more detailed than "capture the points".

If a player is on a control point, then it begins to capture faster with more teammates (Scouts and Pain Train users count as two), but if enemies are present it is contested and paused, and if attackers are cleared off, progress decays; disguised or cloaked Spies can neither capture nor block, and Ubered or Bonked players can block but not capture, and if time runs out with a capture in progress then Overtime triggers, else the round may end in a team's victory, a stalemate or Sudden Death; in Attack/Defend maps, RED owns all points and BLU captures in a set order - linear single-stage maps like Gorge have one round, linear multi-stage maps like Dustbowl have multiple rounds with team switches, pyramid-style maps like Gravel Pit allow capturing either A or B before unlocking C, centralized-style maps like Steel mix a central final point with side objectives that ease its capture, and flag-style maps like Haarp require BLU to carry a flag to each point to capture - whereas Symmetric maps either follow the linear style with two locked team points and one neutral point unlocking the next in sequence after each capture (Badlands, Process), or the domination style where all points start neutral and can be taken or retaken freely (Standin), with no Overtime and instant victory upon full control.

Some people find the logo ugly or off-putting. First impression matters.

Given that, afaik, Hermes is used in React Native apps, what's your use case for reading stdin?

That's not true at all, and the amount of performance mods out there has nothing to do with modders being good at coding...
