Atom did bring about tree-sitter at least.
From zed.dev/blog/we-have-to-start-over
We got to a certain point with Atom. It was 2017 when we’d shipped Teletype and it felt like, okay, it’s no longer our own ignorance holding us back, it really is like the platform holding us back at this point.
…
the ironic thing is that we created Electron to create Atom, but I can’t imagine a worse application for Electron than a code editor, I don’t know.

- Comment on Is It Worth The Time? XKCD 1205 updated for open source and shared tools. 5 months ago:
I have a lot of repetition in my job (CAD modeller). Even just knowing keyboard shortcuts & setting up shortcuts for frequently used operations can easily net me 5 seconds per operation. I want to spend my energy on solving the task at hand, not on how to use the tool in the moment. I don’t want to move the mouse away from the work area if I can help it.
Maybe not as frequent 5 per day - but scripts for really bottom of the barrel stuff:
- Cycle thru all currently open drawing documents, zoom to full page and force save.
- zoom out ensures drawing can be identified from document thumbnail.
- the software is known to crash, especially editing drawings.
- easy 10mins duplicated work saved.
- Printing all open drawings out to the office printer in order with a delay between them, so i don’t spend the next 20 minutes manually sorting the drawing prints.
- printers don’t always print in incoming order, some documents take longer to process.
- find/replace for text notes
- the software doesn’t have that feature.
- Cycle thru all currently open drawing documents, zoom to full page and force save.

I’ll do it for things that don’t _seem _ like it will save much, but because it was such an infrequent task I would forget how all the cogs worked when it needed to be done again, and what pitfalls to avoid. So it’s not just direct time saved, but also increasing reliability.

Neither, haggis is in an artificial stomach casing and a sausage is in an artificial intestine casing. The difference is obvious

Pro tip - Simply eat a light meal of shirataki noodles, around 200 Cal. With any luck you can form your very own bezoar and rid yourself of this adiction for the rest of your life.

Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.

- Comment on What inspired you to pursue a career or hobby in programming? 7 months ago:
I was apparently enraptured by PCs as a child, didn’t really do much apart from games / emulators until secondary school. at ~14 was offered an extracurricular class to learn how to program TI-82 calculators. This really clicked for me, ended up pursuing a heavy math / comp sci / stem curriculum. I get to automate away tedious / boring tasks by working on a mentally stimulating puzzle. The rush on getting it working the first time is 👌

setting: - Comment on Monaspace - Microsoft presents a new font family for code 7 months ago:
It’s basically a different type of ligature - it is standard to OTF fonts, but requires ligature support in your editor/terminal. Just need to enable ligatures and/or enable specific ligature sets. See github.com/githubnext/monaspace#editors or maybe wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/font-shaping.html for the general procedure in a supporting terminal.
