I’ve got nearly 10 months left on my yearly subscription, I wonder what that means for my access.

I grew up playing the games, and still have my copy of Yellow and Red. I fell of the wagon somewhere around Gen VI, the games just got to easy. It became clear to me that Gamefreak was just throwing in the towel and gave up making interesting games.

That being said, recently I started getting into the world of Romhacks and they have sparked new joy in me. The games are hard, fun, and have a lot of love poured into them. I'm going through Radical Red right now, and its been an incredible time.

I went down the same path last week, and found Zigbook to be a very poor resource for learning. +1 for ziglings, that's been my favorite so far

How does bun compare? Does it have similar features as well?

That's been my attitude as well. I'm not convinced they'll stay cheaper for long, and when I say "cheaper" its marginal. Cost of the ride is the similar, but it seems there is no tip built into the price yet.

I live in a city that has had Waymo's (via Uber) for a while now and I have done a complete 180 on them. Not only are they usually cheaper than a traditional Uber, but they drive far more defensively, and don't come with the social baggage associated with a traditional Uber either (tipping, small talk).

I did not know this was a project that was in progress, and its quite exciting. I love Godot, and am quite fond a Zig as well. I'll be keeping my eye on this.

New comment by poetril in "Kagi Is Bringing Orion Web Browser to Linux"

poetril — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 18:57:28 +0000

Kagi has been one of the biggest value adds to my online life in a long time. Paying for the Kagi ultimate plans gets me access to the latest LLM models, and an incredible customizable search engine with a large focus on privacy. The Orion browser has been my favorite to use on iOS, I’m not sure if I’d use the desktop version because of its web kit base. But I’m glad to see it’s moving forward.

I've been using a mix of Claude and Deepseek via the Kagi assistant to great success. Usually adding relevant sections of the docs alongside my question and reminding it to use svelte 5 syntax.

New comment by poetril in "1M Lazygit downloads, one embarrassment at a time"

poetril — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 18:37:17 +0000

It is workflow dependent for sure. I used to use aliased commands (still do sometimes), but I find that the muscle memory of lg (opens lazygit tui) -> a (git add -A) -> c (git commit -m "..." -> enter to be easier for me than typing each alias out. I like the lack of nested menus, everything is available via the top layer of the tui and most command are a single hotkey away.

LazyGit is one of my favorite pieces of software. I use it everyday, I love how seamlessly it fits into my work flow. The fact that it outputs all of its commands has helped me form a deeper understanding of git and what it’s doing under the hood. Not to mention it saves a TON of time.

There is a config setting for this “window-padding-x” I believe.

poetril — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 18:53:47 +0000

I actually have a very glue and duck taped solution for this. But I'd love if there way a tool to auto expand the "Load more..." button present in PRs with lots of conversations/commits.

Everytime I refresh the page on a large PR I have to click through 10-12 "Load more" buttons before I can have the whole picture.

I was looking for something like this the other day, and even started a repo for a project similar. This looks like exactly what I’ve been wanting, thank you for building it. I’ll be trying it out

Meanwhile html tags in JSX/TSX files still do not autocomplete/close. Speaking as someone who used Zed for nearly 7 months, it seems like should be prioritizing features that will make the editor more usable. I’d be excited to go back to Zed, but the issues drove me to Neovim.
