Here is the default configuration: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/blob/master/addons/lspclient/settings.json
If you do need more LSP servers or a different one for a language, you can specify your own custom configuration in the same format.
Is the LSP support a plugin in Neo-/Vim ?
In Kate, you just install the LSP server, which is typically as simple as apt install marksman and then Kate will automatically start it when it encounters an appropriate file.
Kate also has a Vi Mode, if that's what you're looking for. ¯(ツ)_/¯
Personally, I find Kate is decent enough for most coding tasks. It does not have an open plugin ecosystem, so I guess, maybe it wouldn't work for you. But aside from plugins, whenever I see people using VS Code/-ium, I wonder why they keep raving about it.
It just looks like a bogstandard editor with LSP support to me. And Microsoft may have gotten that LSP ball rolling, but it's supported in lots of editors now...
I prefer if-expressions where possible. For example, this is valid Rust:
rust
let x = if is_y {
y
} else {
z
};
(Can also be on a single line.)
This is the same syntax as the normal if-statement, except the compiler forces you to add an else-branch, if you want to 'return' a value from it.
Don't tell anyone, but the ternary operator is when the C designers realized that being purely procedural is cumbersome AF. 🙃Unfortunately, they decided that expressions need to look like math, so now JS devs get to write random question marks and colons across many, deeply nested lines of code.
I can figure most of the new style out from context.
=>is clearly a closure declaration operator, similar to JavaScript.x ??= yis shorthand for "assign y to x if x is not set, and return x" which is kind of nice.
Man, I've successfully stayed away from C# for a few years now, but that's wild to me that the x ??= y operator would be intuitive to you.This could've easily been two or three operations, without being much more verbose, but actually being somewhat intuitively readable for most devs...
I feel like lots of people here use Linux, where you don't need to be constantly vigilant of your applications working against you...
You don't have to squash to avoid merge commits. Instead, you can git rebase main to update your branch. Effectively, this will rewrite the history of your branch, as if you had just branched from the main-branch and then instantly coded all your changes on top of that. (Well, the commit timestamps won't change, but they will sit on top of the changes of the main-branch.)
Afterwards, you should be able to merge into main by switching to it and then running git merge --ff-only your_branch.Because all the changes sit on top of the main-branch commits, it should be able to fast-forward. No actual merging needs to take place then. You've already resolved any conflicts while rebasing.
This also allows you to keep branches for longer, so long as you frequently rebase and merge back.
Well, if you did commit it, but just hadn't pushed it yet, and then somehow lost that commit, then git reflog would be the tool for it.Without a commit, sometimes you may have already staged some changes for an upcoming commit and can roll back to that.
But if neither of those are the case, then I can't really imagine how Git should help you there. You haven't told Git about those changes yet, so it's out of scope.At that point, you better hope your editor's undo history goes back far enough...
I've had juniors who didn't believe this, so just to say it: If you know what you're doing, practically any Git problem is recoverable.
The one major exception is if you delete your local changes before committing them.
In terms of long-term costs, yeah, probably. But I work in software development, so investment budgets, and we definitely have the problem that investments into anything tangibly related to AI are encouraged.
We've genuinely been told by customers that they'd rather have the more expensive, worse solution that uses AI, because they will not get investment money, if it does not use AI. They want to be scammed, because their bosses have targets that say x% of all investments need to be towards AI. And those targets come straight from the investors.
A few years ago, we were working with Siemens at $DAYJOB and they sent two folks to us, Silvan and Sibel.
Then I tragically learned that their team lead is called Benjamin, which ruined that headcanon.
I doubt anyone said it verbatim, but it happens that they're deemed lower priority ad infinitum.
Had to double-check, so I'm not spouting non-sense. The Wikipedia article says:
approximately 100–125 milligrams for a cup (120 milliliters) of drip coffee
energy drinks, such as Red Bull, can start at 80 milligrams of caffeine per serving
Presumably the energy drink serving size is 250 milliliters. So, I guess, the difference isn't as big, when comparing 1 cup vs. 1 can.
But yeah, that it feels like it has more caffeine, is likely just the sugar high.
Note 1: I do not drink coffee. Caffeine from real coffee somehow alters my blood pressure radically. These energy drinks do not.
Caffeine is a specific molecule, so there's only one kind of it. You just get a lower dosage from an energy drink.
I feel like those manufacturers really didn't try. It's no secret that cats like enclosures, so why build your cat toy completely open?
And to add insult to injury, they skinned a cat to upholster it.
I've also had it before where my OS was in English and I coded an Excel formula on there, then sent it to someone with their Excel in German and they couldn't use the formula then.
Camels and rivers were also major modes of transportation.
Pretty good video on that whole context: Why precolonial Africa didn't have the wheel
I wouldn't because no one's an expert in all aspects of programming, and as with any learned skill, the majority of folks are at the lower end of the skill spectrum. Some folks reading along are experts in biology and only do some light scripting to process their data, but still generally get the jokes.
But even if it were the case that this was a community exclusively for senior software engineers, it would still be legal to just explain the difference rather than throwing a quip at them.
Yeah, they're complaining about a technicality. Using the word "AI" to refer to LLMs or to generative AI is just common parlance. That definition changes every few years. Five years ago, neural networks were referred to as "AI" and a few decades ago, the AIs stealing our jobs were calculators. This is known as the AI effect.
Among experts, "AI" describes a whole research field with a myriad of applications, of which image recognition is definitely one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence
Ah, I guess that makes sense. Kate automatically detects available LSP server executables but then prompts you before starting them for the first time, in case you did not install that and it's malware, or I guess, in case you just placed a script there which happened to be called the same, but would be very bad to run.
Neovim could theoretically do that, too, but then you need a way to block executables, so that it stops prompting you every time, which you'd probably want in a separate config file.So, it's definitely a simpler solution and perhaps moreso what one would expect from a TUI editor, for you to just list the ones to run in the config file.
