For anyone not understanding why (neo)vim exists, or why some developers prefer it to IDEs, I suggest watching "PDE: A different take on editing code" [1]. It reframes (neo)vim as a "Personalized Development Environment".

I've been using (neo)vim for years, and don't want to use anything else. It isn't just about productivity (I would probably be as productive in an IDE). It's because its _mine_. It's a highly customized environment, catered to my needs.

Ah sad to see that there is no Azure DevOps support. Would've been great if you could just use a ADO dashboard and show it in your terminal.

How does this compare to https://github.com/wtfutil/wtf/?

/edit: I wish these kind of projects would add a compatibility layer to pre-existing modules of competing libraries. That would jump-start adoption, instead of having to re-invent every single module again.

> It's not as arcane as it seems.

The issue with jq is that I use it maybe once a month, or even less. The syntax is "arcane enough" that I keep forgetting how to use it because I use it so sporadically.

In comparison awk – which I also don't use that often – has a much easier syntax that I can mostly remember.

Not entirely convinced by the zq syntax either though; it also seems "arcane enough" that I would keep forgetting it.

Interesting, for me it's the exact opposite.

I've tried a couple of times to get into awk, but still find the syntax arcane.

One alternative to estimations are projections via (for example) Monte Carlo simulations. I've been happily using https://getnave.com/ for that. The results seem to be in the same ball-park as my old estimations, but with less stress overall.

solution looking for a problem?

though if anyone does know of problems this solves I'd love to hear about them, this is an incredibly cool solution.

Concept art for games, movies, perhaps.

Vim is weird. It is the pure opposite of user friendly design, and yet it has a huge userbase.

A violin is the pure opposite of user-friendly design, and yet, there are millions of people playing it.
ts0000 commented on The visitor pattern is essentially the same thing as Church encoding   haskellforall.com/2021/01... · Posted by u/lelf

This feels like a pattern where the naming choices obscure the intent. The ‘Shape’ type doesn’t capture the essence of a ‘shape’ - it captures the essence of being ‘visitable by a visitor that knows about shapes’ or ‘able to handle shapes’. The things which are instances of Shape are functions that accept circles or rectangles, not actual circles or rectangles. So maybe call it ‘VisitableShape’, or ‘ShapeHandler’; and instead of calling its functions ‘circle’ and ‘rectangle’, call them ‘visitCircle’ or ‘handleCircle’...

Also, you seem to have created functions and types with the same names (Circle and Rectangle) which seems dangerous.

ts0000 · 5 years ago
Agree, I intentionally didn't change the names to mirror the other examples in sibling comments as I meant to focus on the "named parameters" bit.
