<p>Hey HN!<p>I’ve been working on Oscura, a Vim/Neovim colorscheme focused on clarity, contrast, and a cohesive coding experience. It’s designed to feel native rather than just another port.<p>What’s New?<p>• New Variant – Oscura Dusk : A refined, high-contrast take on the theme.
• Improved TypeScript Support : More accurate syntax highlighting.
• General Enhancements : Keeping it in sync with the VS Code version while staying true to Vim.<p>If you’re a Vim/Neovim user looking for a well-balanced and evolving colorscheme, give Oscura a try! Would love to hear your feedback.</p>

<p>PDF-joiner is a lightweight command-line utility that makes it easy to combine multiple PDF files on macOS. It leverages the built-in macOS PDF joining utility rather than requiring additional dependencies or libraries. Written in Go, it provides a simple interface for merging PDFs with options to specify output paths. Perfect for those who prefer native tools and command-line workflows over installing additional PDF manipulation software.</p>

<p>I have heard many good things about org-mode. 
Question:<p>- Have you ever used Vimwiki? I know it is no org-mode, but even I am a regular notetaker and I never felt it really lacked in anything, but yeah, it doesn't have task planning.</p>

<p>> while Emacs is slightly better at programmatically automating common tasks<p>I hear this a lot, can you give some concrete examples?<p>I am really curious to know how Emacs and Vim fits in your daily workflow?</p>

<p>Well, Emacs is incredibly powerful, but it is just too much work to do anything, even regarding keystrokes and all the chords you have to remember. I have worked on Emacs too, but sometimes it is just not worth investing so much time and energy in Emacs if you can spend much fewer time in Vim and get a lot more done.<p>VimScript is aweful, sure, but with Neovim Lua support, you can do a lot more in a decent and fast language. Emacs has some great plugins and good LSP support (Also, available in Neovim/Vim and also native treesitter support too). There is barely anything in Emacs at this moment that really justifies investing so much time into it.<p>Even with this post, as an experienced Vimmer, I could basically do everything they are doing here, without installing any plugin and remembering all those obscure keystrokes.<p>Also, Emacs folks downvoting this, tell me if my logic is wrong, you will come up with NADA.</p>

<p>Well, It is more of a design problem than a Django template problem. If you add more and more logic in the template itself instead of dealing with it in the views context or templatetags, you are bound to find yourself in such position that you have very hard to test code.<p>The tooling is fine and almost always lets you know where you are breaking stuff. Also, comparing react tooling with it is not fair, it is a much modern ecosystem that has pitfalls of its own.<p>I have been writing Django professionally for 10 years and React + Django together for 4+ years, so I really know what I am talking about here.</p>

<p>> Flashing a rom on google-branded phones is so simple, a non-tech person can follow a 5min youtube video to do it
Lol, this reeks of how little you understand how much a non-tech person is capable of. A vast majority of Android users won't bother or know how to flash the ROM.</p>

<p>There are projects bigger than GitHub that do all of these things and still doesn't fail as much as GitHub. Honestly, both of us speculating. You can't say for sure if it's not Rails and I can't say if it's not anything else.<p>> for projects at Github's scale it's rarely a code logic/framework-level blunder that's taking the service down. It's generally a cascade of failures in things like multiple database systems, auto-scaling, dns/caching, etc.<p>This is just guessing. You can't honestly tell what is causing the issue.</p>

<p>Indeed. Anything that has so much magic in it is bound to bite you in the a<i></i>. There will be a time when there is so much code and magic that no one really understands the system well.<p>Twitter too was on Rails in the initial days which helped it took off, and then realised they need to move to JVM(Scala) to scaled and they have been performing brilliantly since then.<p>Now, that MS has bought them, why don't they use the brilliant tech MS has (.NET, .NET Core) and be more reliable?</p>
