I'm trying to setup a keymap that saves all my buffers, closes the buffers, and brings up my Alpha dashboard. A clean "reset" of .

So far, I've settled on: :wa|%bd|:Alpha which does exactly what I want. The only caveat that I want to skip is that when I have unsaved buffers, I get a notification at the bottom of my session that requires me to press enter before it closes the buffers and opens the dash.

Any ideas how I can suppress the message?

@stux This is amazing. How did you get the cardboard to stay so firm? Hot glue? Super glue?

Today, I heard that a client’s team has growing indicators that end users want less pages of minimal content and no scrolling (which leads to more clicks) and more single page, no click pages with lots of scrollable content. Has anyone heard similar inklings? Any UX/web designers seeing similar trends?

As I was heading out to bring my daughter to a birthday party my wife reminded me to “make sure I’m being social with the other parents.” As I’m prone to keep to myself, I took the advice seriously.

Yet, when I arrived, most of the moms were socializing at the party, with a few dads hanging about. The rest of the dads were sitting in their cars!

Are there some unsaid rules of parenting for how each parent should socialize? Or are other dads just similar and introverted?

@technotim I really loved your state of the interview on @changelog ! (Hint hint CL team to have him back!)

Tim, in the interview you mentioned that you auto-renew your certs every 90 days and that you also proxy your home IP using @cloudflare. Do you have any videos on how you renew your certs? Are you locally creating them and uploading them to CF? Or using CF’s api to generate and then downloading them to your network?

Curious what you all do in this situation:

Project on github. You don't have a bug, but you want to ask the author some questions about the code either because something isn't working quite right or you want to contribute. Submitting an issue isn't right since you're just asking non-bug/issue-related questions. Author doesn't have any great ways to contact him.

What do you do?

I watch dev teams every week wrestling with major downstream consequences of not taking enough care over their work, and then I hear managers warning them "Beware of taking too much care!", and I wonder if they and I are perhaps living in different universes.

@doboprobodyne I'm just here cause I love that hashtag. I enjoy hobby dev work and self-hosting, but my FT job isn't as a dev. This hashtag is my vibe!

@MonaApp - is there any way to download your mac app without using the Mac App store?

@notnorm@fosstodon.org avatar

Damn, @MonaApp … I’m only still only on the free trial and you’ve made a killer iOS client for . The one time cost is also super attractive rather than the subscription. Great work!

In today's blog post I continue the theme of degoogling one's life. I talk about my experiences with @invidious, an alternative open-source frontend to Youtube that can be self hosted.

Do you want to watch YT videos without actually going to Youtube site? Take a look!

@stfn This is a great theme for a blog series. I'll be following!

Have you explored any YT backends to self-host? YouTube has been a huge bane for me but the hill seems to steep with other projects going on....

@stfn Yep!

For any user on 2023.11, has anyone quite figured out the shopping list and adding to that list from Google Assistant?

The integration is working but from google it will add it to my tasks and not my shopping list. If I create a task list called shopping list, it will add it there 50% of the time. What have others done?

    @mforester Do you mind going into more detail or sharing any links? I noticed I have the same issue with my setup. When everything is up and running, it’s great. But if my internet goes out, I just start losing access, I don’t even get notifications.

    Blindspot is a great term for this!

    @kushal It was then that I learned to always take my time with commit messages. This is one my favorite back-to-back commits….

    holy moly. sometimes you think you’re in a good flow when programming and you find a bug and start trying to fix it. only to spend an inordinordinate amount of time looking at everything except the basics. my recipe node wasn’t outputting anything….

    all because i tried appending to a list i never initialized. 🤦 so dumb. such is the life we’ve chosen.

    notnorm,
    @notnorm@fosstodon.org avatar

    @tshirtman Words of wisdom right here. It’s so easy to mis-remember that you’ve done something when that’s the thing you have to fix.

    What’s even harder, is when you try to check everything by going line-by-line but that mis-remembering causes you to just skim some or all the lines instead of really reading. sigh.

    always a good lesson in this though

    Mind has just been blown with 🤯...

    g~, gUU, {visual}U, {visual}~

    The ability to switch cases across lines, words, and more, is absolutely incredible. Especially when updating old where I was using lower case for global variables and want to update them... makes it so much easier!

    This is when all those hours fixing my config make it worth it. Learning new stuff like this.

    @changelog I swear I'm not a fanboy always tooting you guys, but your episodes have been really good lately!

    I'd be curious to hear from Jared @ Gertrude again and hear y'all's wins/losses on parenting & the internet.

    re: screenshots - How do we balance parental guidance without desensitizing them to corporate surveillance?

    re: teaching - How much do ppl share with their kids about the negative aspects of the internet?

    I have only a few years before I have to act on these thoughts...😬

    I think I might give another shot as my IDE for . Nothing wrong with VSCode, but I would like to jump around a little bit faster, stay more on the keyboard, maybe have a slightly faster environment to work in? I just haven't used NeoVIM as an IDE in a long time and well, why not?
