I have a galago pro, and everything works great. I switched it to arch and everything was still working. Had it for 2 years now. Battery life is decent, depends on the workload but cpupower helps changing the frequency governor when needed. I got it for work only.

I've been using it on one project while reading the go programming book. Apparently early return is the way to go for error so you don't nest too much. At least you know you handled the error.

What I'm not sure I did right yet is returning different type of errors with interface implementing the Error method so I could act according to the error type from the caller side. It felt messy.

Overall, it feels like most functions is 15 lines of error handling and defers for 5 lines of business logic

I prefer pacman to apt mostly because I disliked configuring ppa and the releases like jessie, stretch, buster, stable, etc. I tried arch, liked it and been with it for long. And makepkg + aur is the same tools repo maintainers use so it feels quite simple to make your own stuff using the same stack.

Manjaro is decent, but they lag a bit behind arch sometimes, it caused me a few issues in the past on a gaming rig with wine from aur. That was before proton though.

I also prefered pop os to manjaro on a gaming rig only because it has a better ootb experience with Nvidia optimus prime video cards setup.

That sounds like a customer giving you a solution instead of a problem to solve. Why do they always try to guess for a solution instead of exposing their actual problem?

It's often the difference between a single day fix that perfectly solves the problem, and a 3 months efforts to create an unstable workaround.

@Elendil we built a small cli for our job that help with the sdlc. It's a one day job to have most of what you need. In js because there are libs for everything so you just need 50 lines of glue code and it works.

I've been using py3status with i3 for several years and added a bunch of custom script. Only reason I still use it is to avoid migrating scripts.

I have things like number of jira issues assigned with a pipe to rofi to search and open in firefox (minimize jira ui interactions), number of github pr waiting for my review with pipe to rofi, shortcuts to switch slack status, time tracker for my active uptime so I don't have to remember when I started working, etc.

Ctrl + alt + f2 in the worst situations.

With its nose.

Whitespace. You can have 2 programs out of your code!

I blame my phone for the extra space. I agree that there should never be a space there!

@codierknecht that one wasn't intended! Nice catch! Hard to type on a phone.

We should develop a language where anagrams are understood just as well. That would be interesting to see produce unexpected behaviors.

Exercism.io is also very nice, althought I didn't try any python exercises on there. The concept of using unit tests to validate yourself rather than some online validator is really nice.

Alias React as wordpress and tell them it's wordpress. If only they could leave us with the stack we want.

Do they expect a taxi driver to fix their car?

Probably done with a WYSIWYG if it does.

That and when the time is a palindrome such as at 12:21.

1970-01-01 is my birthdate on any form I don't trust which means pretty much every form.

@Larsg310 that behavior is relatively common. If you mean the time 0 UTC it falls down in 1969 in some timezones. I've seen that behavior in Exchange too.

@rainmitchell But it very rarely happens and if it does, I'm not yet qualified to handle it so I'm good. 😁

We always deploy on thursday for that very reason. And then you have "black fridays" when everything goes haywire.

zmv to mass rename files with regex replace

I even added :q as an alias for exit because I kept typing that rather than exit or Ctrl+D

I never could work with atom after working with sublime because of the speed. Sublime feels much faster. I however heard that VS Code is similar to atom but faster. Never the less, Sublime seems to not be actively developed, or at least not as much as the other two, so I vote for *flip a coin*...

@Arrow7000 I mean "keepass". I do not use keypass. And I actually meant that I deleted the kdbx file.

I was able to recover mist thing thanks to syncthibg + github!

Good! Often the last thing we invest for yet one that probably has the biggest impact on our future health.

Victim of your success. I know that feel.

Totally except I don't sit, I stay lying in bed while my wife keeps telling me to wake up

Really nice keyboard. Do you sometimes miss the home/end/etc keys?
