I've started using more Zen Mods recently too, the most important one I would say is Zen Context Menu - which lets you de-clutter the options when you right click anything. There are way too many options being shown when you right clicked the sidebar, but it's a lot nicer to use now.

but every job also says 100+ applicants

Most of them are spam or people testing their luck even though they're underqualified since applying to jobs is usually just a click nowadays. Don't worry too much about it.

I get people that make tutorials for "content" even if they suck at their job, but I CANNOT get over video tutorials where someone gets completely lost and doesn't cut it out of the video.

Anyways we'll go here-oh there's an error. Uhm. Maybe we can do this? That didn't work. Maybe that? Hang on, maybe it's in preferences? Oh, it's in tools, no, wait, oh I just wrote the name wrong

Would it kill you to edit that out and stop wasting my time?!

I use Joplin. It's fairly simple and very comparable to Evernote if you've ever used that, but it's perfect for my needs.

I used LogSeq before, it's very similar to Obsidian, the big difference being that it's open source. It's got a ton of features and the built-in whiteboard is actually really good, but I found it a bit overkill for my simple note taking.

  • Logseq also makes each line start with a bulleted list which quickly made me go insane

I appreciate the rundown! I started getting used to Emmet now, it's certainly more friendly than it looks. I think this is what I was looking for.

The short-hand for CSS in Emmet is also pretty neat, but It'll take some time to get used to it. w75p m10 turns into width: 75%; margin:10px

I also bought a PSTV when they were on clearance for less than 20 bucks, makes for a nice little gaming console for the bedroom or guest bathroom.

The... Guest bathroom???

I owned a PSP Go a few years ago, it's a great device. I loved how tiny it is, but the screen was a little too small for me, and it didn't handle emulation that well. Loved playing Lumines and Patapon on it, though!

I agree, it's about the perfect size for me. Just small enough to fit in my jacket pocket.

I honestly wish PC handhelds had a similar size, but they're all tablet-size. Someone had an image comparing the Vita with the Steam Deck and it puts into perspective how large handhelds have gotten.

this is actually a plot point in the graphic novel Eight Billion Genies, where people would make a wish by reading a really long contract for hours that covers all the possibilities and caveats. You'd enjoy it, OP.

[–] popcar2@programming.dev 5 points 6 months ago

that assumes you know exactly what you want though, which I think most people wouldn't at the time of making the wish

I've been meaning to post some of my stuff to Flatpak when Godot 4.4 releases but never bothered to look into it. This is perfect, thanks for sharing!

Right now. WASM has been supported by every browser for a while now, and most webapps are made with WASM. That said, it's not a replacement for Javascript, most people only use it on things that need to be high performance like heavier apps and web games. Nobody really makes websites that rely on WebAssembly instead of JS to my knowledge.

Announcing Swift 6 (www.swift.org)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by popcar2@programming.dev to c/programming@programming.dev
 

The big thing about this release is it is a huge leap forward to making Swift a cross-platform language, and not something only built for Mac/iOS

Swift 6 unifies the implementation of Foundation across all platforms. The modern, portable Swift implementation provides consistency across platforms, it’s more robust, and it’s open source. macOS and iOS started using the Swift implementation of Foundation alongside Swift 5.9, and Swift 6 brings these improvements to Linux and Windows.

Swift is designed to support development and execution on all major operating systems, and platform consistency and expansion underpins Swift’s ability to reach new programming domains. Swift 6 brings major improvements to Linux and Windows across the board, including support for more Linux distributions and Windows architectures. Toolchains for all of the following platforms are available for download from Swift.org/install.

I made a mod launcher for classic Doom (specifically, GZDoom) because I wasn't a fan of what currently exists. CleanDoom focuses on simplicity and usability.

If anyone here is a Doom fan, give it a try and let me know what you think!
