I believe one of the hosts on the Coder Radio podcast moved into a home with some home automation stuff (light, heating and locks), but wasn't informed about the configuration or how to operate it. He described it as moving into a haunted house.

This sounds incredibly fascinating. Do you have a link to the specific episode or a title?

I owe much of my current success as a professional software engineer to the instructors at Treehouse. As an intern, I went from 0 to learning the fundamentals of JavaScript on both the front and back end. It was the one site that helped React finally click for me.

I don't know if you are reading this, Andrew Chalkley and others, but thank you for making such lovely courses. I hope you find or have found something better out there!

What I really want is for my tab groups to sync across devices. I have to use a bunch of computers for various things (I have a half-dozen laptops tethered to their own VPNs) but they all exist for me to do work. News bulletin: it is impossible for me to segregate my work perfectly across 5 organizations. I can sync my tabs, but what I really need these days is a way to sync my tab groups.

Safari in the upcoming macOS Monterey and iOS 15 do exactly this, syncing tab groups between all of your devices :-) well, Apple devices anyway.

I hope Chrome adds this to their own tab group feature set soon because it’s pretty nifty!

I've used the following list of packages for eslint, prettier, and TypeScript. It's not as effortless as it should be, but the two LSP packages in particular do give reference navigation that's pretty equivalent to VS Code.

- https://packagecontrol.io/packages/SublimeLinter

- https://packagecontrol.io/packages/SublimeLinter-eslint

- https://packagecontrol.io/packages/JsPrettier

- https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LSP

- https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LSP-typescript

If you're on macos, I also recommend creating a file at ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/Default (OSX).sublime-mousemap with the following contents -- this adds a cmd+click "go to definition" shortcut that's also equivalent to what VS Code provides. (I guess the path should be "Sublime Text 4" now? but after upgrading, the config at the "Sublime Text 3" path still works for me.)

[ { "button": "button1", "count": 1, "modifiers": ["super"], "press_command": "drag_select", "command": "lsp_symbol_definition" } ]

I've tried to switch to VS Code a few times -- language features (especially TypeScript) tend to work better out-of-the-box but it still isn't close in terms of performance. If you want IDE-like features to "just work" then VS Code is definitely the best choice, but the persistent (albeit sleight) input lag drives me up the wall.

Thank you so much for this! I was looking for an optimal config myself, and this saved me so much time :-) Cheers!
merryMellody commented on Show HN: Frictionless habit-tracking on iOS (pokeable from your text editor too)   xenodium.com/frictionless... · Posted by u/xenodium

This app is wonderful! I’ve been using it to track a handful of habits for a couple of weeks now.

The fact that it’s leveraging Org mode on the backend is magic, I’ve been craving more mobile apps that let me throw unnecessary Emacs at them :-)

Just as an example:

  #+TITLE: My habits
  * TODO  Breakfast
  SCHEDULED: <2021-02-27 Sat 08:00 ++1d>
  :PROPERTIES:
  :STYLE: habit
  :LAST_REPEAT: [2021-02-26 Fri 11:58]
  :END:
  - State "DONE"        from "TODO"       [2021-02-26 Fri 11:58]
  - State "DONE"        from "TODO"       [2021-02-25 Thu 08:41]
Which reminds me, I should eat breakfast!

Is it possible to write these in regular code? I am not a big fan of these visual tools. Seems they are quite clunky compared to code.
merryMellody · 6 years ago
With an app like Scriptable, you can indeed! This one lets you write JavaScript code, and they added the feature to pass in parameters with iOS 13.1!
