  • Just keep coding

  • My thought as well, but those stones were shaped to match each other, reducing the amount of grout needed. It just goes to show the old ways still work, but you have to commit.

  • This is a dangerous metaphor. Remove the old wall and it turns out the new beautiful wall was leaning against and supported by it.

    I get what you mean, it’s just that the metaphor could support both perspectives.

  • I’ve said this before only to hear “we don’t have time to set that up and agree on a common style” and “that’s team B’s responsibility since we’re contributing to their code base.” Guess what kind of issue we kept wasting time on?

    There are a couple of takeaways here. I think the main one is acknowledging that many technical problems are deeply human problems and the existence of a technical solution doesn’t mean we shouldn’t apply the human solution as well.

  • Artisanal Handcrafted Git Repositories

  • And here I was saying using git in the command line instead of a visual form might make me an elitist.

    I’ve been living life on easy mode and not putting real care into my work.

  • Closed preview of the JetBrains standalone git client : GitClient 2025.3 EAP

    Jump

  • Exactly! That’s how I feel.

    I always end up using VS Code for projects like that, but I don’t love its Got integration, so that really makes sense. I might give this a try when it’s more widely available.

  • Call me an elitist, but I think people really need to learn and use Git on the command line. It's integral to the job and visual clients hide away not just the nitty-gritty, but often basic processes. Why do I end up teaching experienced developers how to use git reset? There's some day-to-day stuff thaat I do like to do on the IDE though.

    [hops off soapbox]

    Ranting aside, JetBrains' visuals and organization for Git are really good. Visaual Studio loses track of commits across forks and time, but Rider can keep up, so I'm sure a standalone client will work pretty well.

    So how are you liking it?

  • This auto completion in #RustRover is so annoying... I always have to remove at least half of the text it inserts.

    Jump

  • Ah, matter of preference I suppose. At least there are a lot of settings to disable that stuff.

  • Neural network-based full line completion? I feel like the Rust model isn’t as developed as those for other languages. It’s helpful in Rider for C#.

  • It’s really interesting that Proton feels like a step forward in cross-platform gaming, but it also made it more economical to focus on Windows builds and dependencies.

    Steam has a lot of power in the market and a vested interest in making things easier for developers and publishers. I wouldn’t be surprised if they picked up (more of) the slack in keeping systems backwards compatible.

    Same as Microsoft, sort of. They can’t afford to have Apple’s “courage” in dropping x86 and then amd64.

  • Steam, as mentioned, and an old iMac that I’ve been meaning to dual-boot for a while.

    This kind of thing is mostly inevitable, but has an impact on software and game preservation.

  • The i686-pc-windows-gnu target has been demoted to Tier 2, as mentioned in an earlier post.

    Fedora is discussing dropping support entirely, right? Interesting times we live in…

  • Why make it complicated?

    Jump

  • Like if the variable is then used in a function that only takes one type? Huh.

  • Why make it complicated?

    Jump

  • And bow to the compiler’s whims? I think not!

    This shouldn’t compile, because .into needs the type from the left side and let needs the type from the right side.

    I’ll see myself out.

  • Good article, thanks for the link! In the context of this conversation, I can agree that being exposed to different ways of solving problems will make you better and faster at doing just that.
