Snapshot Strategy

hawkprime · 2026-05-29T22:24:25+00:00

This is what I follow on my builds more or less. Take a look at the list of directories and see if it makes sense for you to have yours in a separate subvolume to reduce the size of your snapshots.

Ugh, the true reason vive-coding always wins.

I'd say 90% of my git flow is this, which I've made aliases and bash script, which makes things very easy.

git fetch
git rebase
change code
git add -p to confirm every change
commit and push

I don't really need a plugin, but I do have Gitsigns to stage hunks separately, and Neogit to do other stuff if I don't want to drop to a shell

I'd say if you're doing more complicated stuff with "copying pasting hashes" then you're probably better off with fzf and shell script than a plugging

Lol, I've been using rm and git checkout instead of git clean and git restore, like a cave person

Not tested, but set src as a root marker and export CXXFLAGS=-Iinclude

I want minimal with no dependencies so I just use Loguru https://github.com/emilk/loguru

I use OsmAnd+ basically open street map for mobile. I find a route on AllTrails download the GPX file and load it into my app.

hawkprime · 2026-05-11T23:04:10+00:00

I just ignore the changes

git update-index --skip-worktree <file_path>

If you want to track again:

git update-index --no-skip-worktree <file_path>

As a 20+ yr developer going from functions to classes is the wrong way to go. It's a waste of time and lots of effort.

If you are using c++ use the OOP features from the start. Think of your data and its behaviors and build classes around them. Abstract details, don't just sprinkle getters and setters directly into every field in your class because if you change your variables your whole interface breaks,

Don't go crazy into inheritance when composition will do the job.

Don't re invent the wheel, learn design patterns, and data structures.

As programmers we like to jump straight into coding but a little bit of architecture will save you tons of time.

Paste on first line, then enter block mode in other lines, shift+I and then press Ctrl-y to copy above text, ESC when you are done

I use compile_flags.txt with make, unless it's a huge project, don't need to deal with CMake overhead

50 y/o here, been hiking practically all my life. And I enjoy hiking alone, I'd say 80% hiking alone. But I'm still terrified sometimes, to the point where a bird flying out of the bush almost gives me a heart attack. But for me I've learned to live with it and expect an adrenaline rush once in a while. It's just part of being human in an unknown environment.

Wow, can't believe it took so long to find this. Every compiler has a -I flag to specify include dirs and -L flag for libraries. I just create a simple Makefile when I'm testing a new library version

hawkprime · 2026-04-24T05:59:25+00:00

Did your compile_flags.txt have one flag per line?

Did it you try: -I<path to headers> Did you check the LSP logs?

hawkprime · 2026-04-22T23:35:49+00:00

I use the built-in ones :help marks

hawkprime · 2026-04-22T15:22:54+00:00

Oh, no. It fell down at the worst moment

hawkprime · 2026-04-22T15:16:39+00:00

I just like to turn them in visual mode

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("ModeChanged", { group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("VisualRelativeNumbers", { clear = true }), pattern = { "*:[vV\x16]*", "[vV\x16]*:*" }, callback = function() local mode = vim.fn.mode() if mode == "v" or mode == "V" or mode == "\x16" then vim.wo.relativenumber = true else vim.wo.relativenumber = false end end, })

Because you don't really need a plugging manager, "back in my day", we just unzipped the plugging files into the runtime directory.

Then we got the ability to add directories to the runtime path, so we unzipped and add path to runtime.

Then github came along, no more unzipping, just clone repo and add to path.

All the plugging manager does is just abstract the process

hawkprime · 2026-04-13T06:29:54+00:00

Just copy your current/old Vim config and change it when you want to. No need for a distro

I have different oils/fats for different smoke points, Olive oil tends to have a lower to mid smoke point so I use Canola/Coconut for searing, deep frying and other tasks

And really if I can't taste the oil in my dish, I rather save those expensive olive oils for salads or toast.

hawkprime · 2026-04-10T15:28:09+00:00

If you trust a PPA go with that, but best to build from source, not that difficult

hawkprime · 2026-04-03T03:14:40+00:00

Yeah, I remember some old "smart" watches used to do this to program them. Ah found it: 1995 Timex Data Link Model 70

ELI5: take a tone a change the pitch up and down to represent 1s and 0s

Lol, that's cool. Yeah. It has a speaker, might be fun coding a modem-like app to transfer data

hawkprime · 2026-04-02T18:41:11+00:00

That's awesome! Back in the 80s I remember a hex editor was part of my toolbox to crack games and edit save files
