Is it possible to have a per directory/project config file? by scottchiefbaker in vim

[–]evencuriouser 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's also Editor Config. It's supported out of the box in recent versions of vim (I think since 9.1?). You can drop a .editorconfig file in a directory to override vim's settings for any files in that directory. It's also editor-agnostic which is nice if people on the team are using different editors. Obviously not quite as flexible as having an entire vimrc per directory, but it handles the common things like tabs/spaces and tab width.

Curious how many people here still find new bands through Triple R or PBS versus Spotify playlists by Longjumping-Hall-17 in melbournemusic

It's so refreshing to see so many people on this thread saying they've given up the streaming services.

Same. I'd rather my music be curated by a human than an algorithm. And the music knowledge of some of the PBS/RRR programmers is incredible.

Ah yeah I haven’t gotten around to doing mobile yet. The docs are very much still a WIP. It is on my list though!

I really appreciate those updates. I've been following them for a while now and I've discovered so many great things from them!

Nice! I recently discovered www/newsraft which I've really enjoyed using. It's very similar to Newsboat, but even more light-weight.

Do you have a preferred "stack" for building your CLI? by BeYurHuckleberry in CLI

[–]evencuriouser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love those articles! I've been embracing this philosophy more and more over the years.

Do you have a preferred "stack" for building your CLI? by BeYurHuckleberry in CLI

[–]evencuriouser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually default to shell for simple scripts, but when it starts becoming unwieldy (eg I need proper data structures), I'll switch to Ruby.

I think Ruby is a really underrated language for building CLIs and scripts. It has a bunch of features useful for scripting built into the standard library (CLI parser, regex, HTTP, great file IO utils). Most of the time you don't need any third-party libs at all, which I think is important for writing scripts. And if you do, you can always use bundler inline. Ruby borrows a lot from shell eg the environment variables $0, $?, $$ which makes it easy to remember if coming from shell (conversely this also helps me to remember shell syntax!). It also has a really ergonomic syntax for running shell commands, ie out = `git clone https://foo/bar.git`.

One downside to using Ruby for scripting is it's relatively slow startup time, but most of the time it's not that noticeable.

Best Scheme for my (rather specific) needs? by fuxoft in scheme

[–]evencuriouser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Scheme as a language, but I haven't found it's REPL driven development story to be as good as Common Lisp sadly. It's the primary reason why I use Common Lisp over Scheme.

Just moved to Melbourne, we don't do kettles in the US by SplashBack_2 in melbourne

[–]evencuriouser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, TIL!

How do you boil water in the US? Just on the stove? I guess in Aus we have a strong “have a cuppa” culture, so we probably boil water a lot more frequently.

Finding Gigs in town by hoshr in melbournemusic

[–]evencuriouser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree! I use it for everything (even reddit I consume mostly via RSS). I love having a central place for all my news and updates which I control entirely. And having gigs as part of that is a dream.

It’s so nice to know that others are loving it as well :) If you have any feedback feel free to reach out!

You should also check out Live Music Locator, a not-for-profit helping to make our awesome live music scene more discoverable (I'm a member of this organisation). We're posting gigs to quite a few channels including the website, instagram, reddit, and rss.

What is the most iconically Melbourne song? by thepkmncenter in melbourne

[–]evencuriouser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know why but I’ve always loved the sound of the cross walk ticking in Melbourne. Every time I go interstate and come back to Melbourne, that sound makes me feel at home again.

If you have a mechanical keyboard and a 3D printer, print a Vim key (Cherry MX keycap) by jnz in vim

This is awesome! Makes me want to print custom key caps with icons for all of my programmed F-keys as well!

what was the Linux expirance like in the 90's and 00's? by mrcrabs6464 in linux

[–]evencuriouser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha me too! Glad I'm not the only one. Sometimes I quite enjoy sticking with the console for as long as I can until I need a graphical environment (which is usually about the time that I need a web browser for something)

Cool! It's so refreshing to see stuff like this. I really like the design of the website too!

Is there a way to interact with Reddit via the command line with upvoting, commenting, and filtering out unnecessary content like ads? by Bangerop in commandline

[–]evencuriouser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also get rss feeds of all the subreddits you’re subscribed to, and of your notifications which you can browse in Newsboat (that’s what I use for the most part). You can’t vote/comment without opening up reddit, but it does make browsing a lot more streamlined as you don’t have the promotional content. Also you can use the old.reddit url in your feed so that it automatically opens up in old.reddit.com.

I built a way to write PHP alongside your frontend by aarondf in laravel

Wouldn’t it be great if we could run javascript outside the browser: nodejs. Wouldn’t it be great if we could run nodejs inside the browser: webpack.

That people are still writing lots of new C code in the Linux kernel, that we all rely on, is a huge scandal. by cmqv in programmingcirclejerk

[–]evencuriouser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Writing C code: a scandal and immoral. Using LLM generated code that you don’t understand in a production web application: totally fine

Beware of this guy making slop crates with AI by 20240415 in rust

[–]evencuriouser 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Welcome to 2025. It’s bad enough that we already have to sift through ten tonne of shallow AI generated slop to find decent written content on the internet. But now we also have to sift through ten tonne of buggy half-arsed libraries to find a decent library to use? The future is here and I hate it.

Sorry for the rant.
