I've been using neovim for years (and the vim family for decades), and I guess with LSP it's pretty much an IDE these days.

I mean, we eat a lot of open-topped sandwiches in general. Having them warm is fine for variation!

You'll likely also want to check out ruff for linting and formatting, by the same company that makes uv. It doesn't enable a lot of lints by default, but there's a long list of checks to enable.

They also have a typechecker, ty, which is still in early alpha. If it's as good as their other tools I expect it to become the standard for typechecking Python. Currently you'll likely want to go with pyright for that.

I think it's far more likely that the article that doesn't know what "sweep under the rug" means also got other stuff wrong.

There's nothing probable about the combination of a Nordic country and a 9-hour workday.

Yeah, would suck if it wound up failing now because of clown signatures. A buffer of real signatures is very good!

How does a 36-hour workweek work out to a four-day workweek?

Here in Norway everyone in sneezing distance of a union deal has a five-day workweek at 7.5 hours a day, for 37.5 hours in total. (The law says six days at 8 hours; the half-hour difference is in practice lunch, which is your own time with a union deal and the boss' time without. I think we could go down to 7h a day and get an hour of lunch like our neighbours.)

No, we shouldn't, and yes, you're overthinking, but I am finding myself inching closer to the GNU argument for the desktop/server OS, as I now not only use phone/Linux, but also a bunch of Kubernetes/Linux, with distroless images. It's all using the Linux kernel, and possibly glibc, but it's not Linux as we know it. The desktop/server OS meanwhile might not have GNU coreutils in some years.

But realistically we've been using Linux as the name for the family of desktop and server OS-es for decades now, and if you need to refer to the Linux kernel you call it "the Linux kernel" or just "the kernel".

Earlier GNU wanted HURD as an alternative to the Linux kernel—same GNU OS, different kernel. What instead is happening is that we're keeping the Linux kernel but replacing the GNU part of the OS.

Generally you just need to give as much information as the recipient needs to understand your message. Excess signals that don't add information are what information theory calls noise.

Phabricator was an alternative for a development platform of sorts; development ceased in 2021. They're still running here and there, but I expect them to be in the process of being deprecated.

Yes, but it's likely due to how we use our bodies in a manner that we don't really like, partially because we're on the alert for the waiting to end. Doing something you've chosen to do feels better.

Also, the environment plays a role. It feels more shit to pay a lot of attention to a shitty environment. Same thing as how walkable neighborhoods are usually interesting, while us-style car-brained areas feel like shit to walk or even just exist in, because you're not actually meant to stay there long enough to notice anything.

I thought we were calling the thing you speak Strayan!
