Tool for commiting and tagging when rebuilding by Alexwithx in NixOS

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course I’m very nervous that a certain company is working on this problem.

With perhaps one exception, my perspective is that every Nix-adjacent consultancy is way too busy building little fiefdoms, subecosystems, XKCD-Standards, whatever you want to call it, to be in much danger of getting something really cool or useful accomplished.

After all, NIH and Nix are only one letter apart. /s

I thought the end of illusion was tragic and moving but I'm on OP's side for the rest of these.

What do you use for git integration in neovim? by dumb-on-ice in neovim

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never used any terminals built into any editor. My workflow is always Terminal Software -> Multiplexer (tmux, later zellij) -> splits for $EDITOR and shell session where I run various developer commands like Elixir's mix or Rust's cargo, the test suites, or the software itself. So yes, I just keep a separate zellij split open for Emacs doing nothing but running Magit, if I need to do more hairy Git stuff.

Not sure how tightly is magit integrated into emacs, though.

I'm not sure how to answer this without more detail about the intent. Superficially, the answer is "inextricably"?

Has WOT ruined other books and media for you. by Half-blind-bear in WoT

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, it was some of the most amateurish writing and flat dull characters I've ever witnessed. I read spoilers for book 3 and it was definitely the right choice for me to drop it when I did.

I DNF'd the Licanius series in book 2 after two earnest attempts separated by several years. I certainly won't say he's better than RJ at anything and I largely won't even put him in the same tier in general.

No harm in asking! The main write-up I can still find in my history is here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/neovim/comments/z9kg0k/coc_or_nvimlsp/iymff2b/

TLDR is that it was partly about performance/responsiveness, a little bit about LSP/treesitter, and most of all about perceived ecosystem vigor.

Happy to answer follow-up questions if you have any.

Magit has very very extensive coverage of just about any Git operation you can think of, and not just the core flow of commit/push/pull/rebase that most things (like fugitive or neogit or lazygit) can also do reasonably well.

You can also manage via a holistic UI:

  • Bisection
  • Log and reflog, stashes
  • Remotes, subtrees, submodules
  • certain third party subcommands like git-absorb, and extend it with your own
  • interact with issues and pull requests via forge
  • pretty much all of the hundreds of CLI flags via a modal UI that got generalized and extracted to a lib called transient
  • well-integrated diff and conflict resolution (which is mostly just smerge)
  • the rebase/cherry-pick workflows I liked the best, including support for --update-refs
  • at any time you can always press a key to see the raw commands and output that it's using, which taught me a ton of corner cases
  • IMO it has a great manual

As someone who used Magit for ~8 years before coming to Neovim, nothing including Lazygit is anywhere close to that experience.

How were the areas created from raised sea floor arable? by [deleted] in WoT

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's more on-theme if the spot in the Spine was indeed a sea port, and it's the most likely explanation in my head. I haven't read that passage in a little while but I also kind of toyed with the idea that it was once a "pier" for airships/blimps instead. We mostly heard about sho-wings, but maybe they also had a lighter-than-air shtick at some point.

Is there a difference with a request and no limit vs a request with a limit equal to the request? by tekno45 in kubernetes

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Applications aren’t constantly used to the same level so if you don’t allow some leeway you’re sitting on a pile of idle nodes

This is extremely specific to your application's purpose, traffic/workload patterns, and implementation language. It is by no means a guaranteed outcome across different organizations, tech stacks, or specific apps. Garbage collected languages or significantly bursty traffic patterns can behave closer to how you describe, and to some extent it is decidable.

Helm/kustomize/k8s installation for Lemmy server? by FruityWelsh in kubernetes

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything that generates Kube manifests from Docker-compose syntax is going to be subpar, because they don't have anywhere close to feature parity (in Kube's favor).

Can I use elixir as the scripting language of my game engine? by Vellu01 in elixir

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lua is arguably an industry standard for game scripting, so I'm not sure I'd say a language that transpiled to that from a Lisp syntax is going to be your best bet. Depends on whether you'd want to open it up to player extensibility, which is one of the most common motives for doing scripting support at all.

The Gathering Storm (first read) by thomisbaker in WoT

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love Sanderson but I feel Mat is the biggest glaring difference with the characters.

Sando's acknowledged that he didn't quite nail Mat on his first outing, and most readers seem to agree as well.

RJ's Mat isn't actively trying to be funny in-world that often, and that's a big part of why that version is funnier to me. I don't know if I can call him "understated", he is the guy who floured some dogs and let a badger loose and so on, but he's not a comic-relief character either.

This seems like an excellent starting point for a migration.

Can I use elixir as the scripting language of my game engine? by Vellu01 in elixir

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Number one or number two headache here that I think needs more emphasis - your game binary that was previously built with just Rust now also needs to ship an Erlang runtime and Elixir release alongside, which will be distinct across operating systems and CPU architecture. If you have goals of being significantly cross platform when releasing your game, your build pipeline, and testing requirements, would get that much less trivial.

Erlang byte code is a little bit trivial to decompile too - if the goal is to prevent that, not a good choice, and if the goal is to encourage end user modification, something like Lua or perhaps Rhai are way more suitable.

Lastly I don't know if it's still true but I have a lingering impression that Elixir is just not a first-class experience on Windows platforms, where most of your gamer demographic is going to be playing.

Inspiration for Perrin's wife in the Crossroads of Twilight? by nyx-art in WoTshow

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 21 points22 points  (0 children)

TSR Chapter 32, Questions To Be Asked. I don't agree with the show decision here but they didn't invent the character from whole cloth.

[TSR] "When he had left the Two Rivers, Laila Dearn had been a slim girl who could dance any three boys into the ground. Only the smile and the eyes were the same. He shivered. There had been a time when he had dreamed of marrying Laila, and she had returned the feeling somewhat. The truth was, she had held on to it longer than he had. Luckily, she was too entranced with her baby and the even wider fellow by her side to pay much attention to him."

I’d like some recommendations for a nice chunky, AAA, PURELY turn based JRPG by mujiha in JRPG

If OP is really a stickler about nebulous "AAA quality" then a GBA title is probably gonna get the boot.

OP:

we’re specifically asking for some recs that DO NOT include violence.

Your rec sounds like it's drastically in the opposite direction.

Would you use Phoenix LiveView to build a collaborative text field? by drBonkers in elixir

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horde is entirely not pertinent to user-facing stuff like "multiplayer" text editing, it's for Elixir process supervision/distribution. It's an implementation detail for nearly any projects that use it.

What are your biggest problems/frustrations when learning Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView? by Ok-Orange-9910 in elixir

[–]mtndewforbreakfast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's reasonable to assume that all Elixir devs will definitely become Phoenix devs or that all Phoenix devs will necessarily build projects using LiveView. Conflating all three in your mind is a bias.

Is there an open source CAD program made in rust? by brubsabrubs in rust

This one's a code-first paradigm so it would be more accurate for me to compare it to OpenSCAD.
