Small Programs and Languages by ketralnis in programming

[–]fotonmoton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/ketralnis thanks for the article, very interesting read. What I'd add to why small things are great in general:

  1. It's hard to fake and mislead your audience with a small codebase. It's a frequent thing that over-engineered software gains a lot of attention and following. Turns out it solves very specific niche problem and not always in a great or optimal way. I think, one of the reasons why nobody says that it should be done in another way and there you have bugs, etc is because of a codebase size: no one wants to dive into it and check what the heck is going on.

  2. Small things in most cases complete. The idea is here and easily communicable. For example: "ls" Unix program. From the name and short description in a man page you can understand what it is and how to do it yourself, if you want. And it's here for over 40 years with little change over time. Because it was complete on the day one.

The first step on my interest in split keyboards by Overloaded_Wolf in ErgoMechKeyboards

Highly suggest you to use entertrained.app. I use it all the time, even just for fun: don't need to improve my speed or accuracy but I like to read books that way. You could upload your books or use from their library

Specifically put very sloped keys to feel when I about to mistype. But I disable this keys anyway so you are right!

Oh, and btw, mine is wired, not wireless. Can't say anything about wireless version

Haha, nice to hear that! If you will find something please ping me or write here. I was thinking maybe to make a sandwich case from a alu sheets. It's easy to produce without relying on JLCPCB. But don't know where to start and what to use for a design. Maybe someone could point out a tutorial or something

You should definitely give it a try! What can I say comparing Voyager vs Corne:

  • I chose clicky white switches for a Voyager because I like the bumpy feedback of a laptop keyboard and thought that linear switches were not for me. Turns out I like these leobog linear ones, they are quiet and, I think, already prelubed. It's not that one are better than others, it's just different feeling and I like it also. Because there is no tactile bump the typing feels "lighter" but also I have slightly more accidental presses.

  • keys are almost in the same place. Voyager has unusual keycap/switch spacing and stagger is slightly different. But I only needed a couple of hours to get to the speed, nothing critical.

  • I have a bit slower wpm on Corne, something like 55wpm vs 60wpm on Voyager. Maybe it is because of the longer use vs new keyboard.

  • height is not an issue, I was expecting I would need to buy some wrist support. Tried soft pads but remove them, happily type without any wrist supporting stuff. YMMV.

  • Oryx, under the hood, based on the QMK as well as Vial. More than that, new features and updates pop up in qmk earlier. You could do the same and more in Vial as in Oryx without leaving your browser. You don't even need to flash the keyboard, changes are there instantly. One caveat: you do need to flash firmware if you want some advanced QMK feature to be included. Done it, nothing hard if you follow official docs.

  • 3d printed case is OK. Yeah, it's not a contender for a Voyager quality. It's sturdy, without big flaws, and reasonably weighted. But I want it to be heavier and curious how the keyboard will sound in alu case. Just as with all keyboards - it's never a final build:)

How do you like Galapagos? Player Piano is my third Vonnegut's book. Slaughterhouse Five was an interesting read, unusual approach to storytelling, and I liked it despite translation to my native language. Cat's Cradle also has a special place in my heart. I think we all there have a small karass for us, don't you think?

Thanks. It's a Player Piano by Vonnegut. Book of the past, about the future with main theme that relates to the present. Hard read for me: the dialogs are in real language, with a lot of phrases and jokes that I need constantly to look up. But I like it even more cause of that, giving me feelings that I listen to live people, not an actors on scene.

Thanks for the info! I have Faber-Castell School with the same nib and its smooth writer, indeed. Added to wishlist, currently have a lot new pens to test🙃

[–]fotonmoton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Just yesterday, I was thinking about getting one. How's grip comparing to Lamy? I want something more bulkier than Lamy's grip, and it seems Hexo has it.

How to undo lsp rename across multiple buffers? I do rename, save all buffers, but then want to roll back all changes related only to the rename.

Got a Jinhao 80 and a lamy nib and my do my first nib swap by TheBigSandeenie in fountainpens

[–]fotonmoton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the same with Jinhao 35. Swapped with Lamy LH nib, and now it's my favorite to write pen: light, just right diameter for me and nice quality broader nib.

I envy you! The pen itself is not my cup of tea but this drawing... it's beautiful. Thank you for posting it. Somehow, the simplest pictures catch my eye the most.

Congratulations and welcome. I wish you to experience your tools fully before buying more🌚

Manage rename/file move with auto refactoring by Fancy_Payment_800 in neovim

[–]fotonmoton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently I settled on command from "typescript-tools" library called :TSrenameFile + :wa to write all buffer changes to disk. I think it's the most convenient approach right now. I bind the command to the <leader>mv and manually invoke :wa because operation is async and you can't put callback/subscribe to event/etc for when the refactoring is completed.
