- Comment on "Best" Mac browser: Your view 8 months ago:
Arc for sure! It’s chromium based, unfortunately, but has unparalleled tab and workspace management, and is unfairly sleek and nice looking!
Other than that, Firefox is always nice, and Orion is interesting as well.
- Comment on A month after a pig heart transplant, man works to regain strength with no rejection so far 1 year ago:
Even as a vegan, it’s pretty up in the air imo. It’s well established that if your life saving medication contains animal products, you take the medication. This is more complicated for sure, but an argument can probably be made. I’m not sure what I feel about it.
- Comment on What non-IDE tekst editor do you use? 1 year ago:
For anyone trying it out for the first time: If you aren’t sure how to do something, it’s probably hitting the spacebar in normal mode. That will bring up a list of shortcuts, including the debugging, file chooser, and actions (for the lip)

Helix deserves more love. Blazing fast, sensible defaults, good lsp support, vim-ish bindings. It’s really my perfect editor
- Comment on Which software do you mostly use for programming, and why? 1 year ago:
Hmm… I’m still torn on ai assisted coding. On the one hand, less work is good, on the other hand I trust myself to make my code error free more than I do a glorified chat bot that won’t have to deal with the consequences…
Somehow I’ve become the crotchety person upset about how things are changing, and I’m not even 30 yet…

Helix. It’s fairly vimlike, but with sensible defaults and no plugins so I don’t have to waste any time configuring it. It has good lsp and linting support for the languages I use (js & dart). My config is one line, to set the theme to match my terminal.

Please do not take this as support of ai use of copyrighted works (I don’t), but as far as I can tell, yes we are machines. This rant is just me being aspie atm, so feel free to ignore it.
We are thinking machines programmed by our genetics, predispositions, experiences, and circumstances. A 2 part explanation of how humans are merely products of their circumstances was once put forward to me. The first part is that humans can do anything, but only the thing we want to do most.
For instance, a common rebuttal is that people can choose go to the gym even when they find the experience of exercise undesirable. However, when that happens, it’s merely a case of other wants out balancing the want to not go to the gym, typically they want to be fit.
We want to not spend money, but we want to not rush going to jail for stealing more, usually. We want to not work overtime, but sometimes we want the extra cash more than that.
The second part of the argument is that we can’t choose what we want. When someone talks themselves out of the slice of cheesecake, they aren’t changing what they want, they’re resolving said want against the larger want they have to lose weight.
And if we make decisions by our wants, while said wants are not decided by us, then despite appearances we are little more than complex automata.

Alas, sorting software is much cheaper to implement than differing hardware, so the cost benefit analysis would work out differently in that case I expect…
