  • Do you even linter bro? lol. I do TypeScript, but even my i9 can get bogged down by the language server from time to time.

    The whole hard capped RAM on the SoC is not for me also. I do a few things in python. If I want to load up a 32G pandas data frame on my laptop, I want the option of 64G RAM without having to replace the whole thing.

    I get MAYBE 2h battery life (Dell Precision) when I’m hacking away, so my use case may not match yours. Vroom vroom…

    That said, ARM itself is generally fine. We have some graviton EC2s hosting our application. I’d just make sure the docker images you expect to use have ARM builds. That bit us a couple times.





  • I’m not against having a car for when I need it. I’m against pretty much requiring it to be a functional adult to do just about anything without public transit becoming my new hobby.

    Work: 20min drive, 1h 20min transit, 2h bike

    Groceries: 10min drive, 45min transit

    This includes a bunch of walking to/from stops and half the time spent waiting since my city’s public transit hub/spoke model is designed for airplanes requiring you to bounce between hubs.

    There also isn’t consistency. A favorable route might only come once every few hours. If one hop is running late, it can wreck the whole route.

    My work route is pretty direct but it takes 12min walking, 0-20min waiting for a bus to my local hub, 0-40min waiting for the right train, and another 15min walking to the office. If they got those wait times down to like 10-20min total, I’d be more inclined to use it. Right now “something” comes every 20min, but sometimes the routes alternate so your route may come every 40min instead of 20min.



  • Something like vim-table-mode work as an improvement? You got me there though, tables can be a real pain in a terminal.

    For the second, I setup an on save hook or watch script to build a PDF and open it. Its been a minute, but I think I had to find a PDF viewer that would refresh if already open and keep the current position on subsequent opens.

    Best of luck finding something that works for you!



  • Not a huge fan of this. I distinctly do not want:

    • To be tied to Proton if they really fuck up. I use my own domains that are portable. I use Proton Pass aliases for throw away accounts I could go without.
    • To not be able to secure my accounts with separate emails/usernames and long distinct passwords (or better yet passkeys) for each service. I don’t use Proton Pass for password management.
    • To provide data points linking my online activities by not using separate emails/usernames.

    My work laptop is a Dell Precision. It was a “data science” model that came with Ubuntu. Wiped Dell’s modified Ubuntu and put vanilla Ubuntu on it and now running Nixos. Works great. There was a weird period when using triple monitors with their dock had an intermittent issue on boot where resolutions and monitors were not being detected. Cause was Nvidia drivers. It eventually got resolved and it was easy enough to rollback the drivers to one that worked.
