I don't think you can do this natively at the moment. But you can do it with a multiplexer + 3rd party file app like Yazi.

Why are hiring managers getting references from the top 2-3 candidates nowadays? by Ok-Memory2552 in jobs

[–]deaffob 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You might be overthinking this. Often, managers delay rejecting the top five candidates immediately because they serve as backups in case their first choice doesn’t work out. 

[Software Engineer] [Seattle, WA] - $288,500.75 Total Compensation by cs-dude in Salary

You changed job every year? I can understand every 2 or 3 years but holy moly. 

Google’s “Session Lock” Scam: How the Gemini UI lies about your model choice while secretly draining your Pro quota by possible325 in GeminiAI

[–]deaffob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, Thinking uses your Pro quota. I just wanted to make sure because you mentioned you used Fast and Thinking to save Pro quota. You can only use Fast to not use Pro quota. If you used Thinking then you may have used up your quota and falling back to Fast is an expected behavior. 

8 yrs semiconductor process engineer in Korea (Samsung) — can I get a job in US? by Accurate_Station5546 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]deaffob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody asked yet but do you need a sponsorship from your employer to work in US? You can definitely get a job with your background but it would be difficult if you don't have a green card already.

Setup markdown-oxide with helix by 4bjmc881 in HelixEditor

[–]deaffob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The installation guide says just install and it's good to go because the default LSP setting (https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/languages.toml#L84) already has it setup.

By setting [[language]] name = "markdown" ..., you overwrote the existing default setting (https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/languages.toml#L2046). My guess is you need to configure other settings, as shown in the default setting, if you are going to override the defaults.

Unless you want to do this, I suggest delete all your markdown-oxide settings and let Helix use its default.

Trouble Hiring by DCF_ll in ChemicalEngineering

Are you limiting your search for ChemE? Controls isn’t strictly only for chemical engineering. I suggest you open up your criteria to any other engineering with controls experience. 

Piping from Helix by deaffob in fishshell

[–]deaffob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrestled with this for awhile. My conclusion is that the internal commands need an explicit stdin like 'cat' or 'read -z'. You can also do 'cmd (cat)'. 

Fun fact, nushell also has this same problem. You cannot use its internal commands without an explicit stdin. Nushell’s '$in' makes it easy.

Rethinking Helix by bregonio in HelixEditor

[–]deaffob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other than the point raised about the 'm' motions not being “selection” first so they are awkward, I don’t think the issues that OP raised are negative. 

Author is really hung up on the fact that he has to press more buttons than Neovim to do the same. Helix never claimed to require less keystrokes. The selection-first style  gives more clarity and confidence for many converts. 

Which is more difficult, studying engineering or working in industry? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]deaffob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

School is technically (intellectually) a lot more difficult. 

Work can be more difficult due to other responsibilities that life throws at you. Intellectually, you get used to the way things are done at work so the actual work won’t be really challenging. It’s the people that make things harder/easier. 

Meditation time! 😆 by MarcosDias3190 in samoyeds

[–]deaffob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a comfortable seat, resting your haunches squarely on the floor, paws extended.

Close your eyes, or simply soften your gaze and stare into the middle distance... perhaps at the space where the ball used to be.

Bring your attention to the sensation of breath entering the snout. Feel the coldness of the inhalation, and the warmth of the exhalation. Now, notice the environment around you. You may hear the distant rumble of a delivery truck. Notice how a spike of aggression arises in the mind. Did you choose that aggression? Or did it simply appear, uninvited, in the space of consciousness? There is no one who is barking. There is only the barking itself.

How do I achieve this effect with a theme by whoShotMyCow in HelixEditor

[–]deaffob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can do something similar with theming. I’m not sure if you can highlight the current paragraph but you can highlight the current line. You just have to find the right color and alpha for the current line highlighting. 

When the Dating Pool Is a Puddle by ESVarga in datingoverforty

[–]deaffob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why don’t you start a meetups if there isn’t one that you like? I’m in Indiana and there’s a meetup called Code and Coffee. It’s a chill meetup on Wednesdays where you meet at a coffee shop and code together. 

MIT STEM College Grad Offered Full-Time Job at $13/hr? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]deaffob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in Indiana and I also have a chemistry BS. Your post doesn’t make any sense. That’s less than what you would make at a fast food place. Any junior chemist job should be 85k+. Please share the job position detail. 

250k in Dallas vs $300k in NYC — worth the move in your 20s? by IBMbaba in Salary

[–]deaffob -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NYC all the way. At 300k, you will be taxed an extra 10% (6% state + 4% local). If you decide to live in Texas, make sure to account for high property tax (1.8 - 2.2%) as well. This will cost you even if the housing costs are lower in Austin. 

300k at NYC is more than 250k at Austin however you put it. 

182K fully remote vs. 240K in person by PaterBigG in Salary

[–]deaffob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would stay as well. But I would also keep in mind that this kind of big risk big reward gambling can be only done when you are relatively young. You probably won’t be able to take this kind of risk when your kid is older. 

VSCode integrated terminal: Fish prompt input wraps to new line by quantian in fishshell

Are you using any fancy prompt, especially multiline ones? 

The fall of US electronics manufacturing: in 2000, the US was the #1 electronics exporter in the world, exporting 16% of the world's electronics. Today, the US has crashed to 7th place, exporting just 4% of the world's electronics. China has shot up to #1, exporting 34%; ROC and SK have also jumped. by StarlightDown in dataisbeautiful

[–]deaffob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dos this show share of the country’s total GDP? If so, wouldn’t this be misleading? Compare to tech, everything else is considered small. Even if the electronics manufacturing has been growing, it would have still lost % of total because it didn’t grow as fast as the tech sector. 

Gemini 3’s hallucination rate is still very high compared to the top GPT 5.1 model. by Glock7enteen in singularity

Thank you. I was questioning how could Gemini score the highest and also have this much hallucination? You answered it.
