FYI, Jenkins has an endpoint to validate the pipeline without running it, and there’s a VSCode extension to do this without leaving the editor: https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2018/11/07/Validate-Jenkinsfile/
FYI you can (sorta) redirect searches from the start menu: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-let-google-handle-cortana-web-search-results-windows-10
Mine all go to DDG in FF
I feel the same way. Designing good, opinionated APIs is HARD, but it also provides the best experience for both the author and the consumer.
Among other examples.
In a world where your IDE and maybe also compiler should warn you about using unicode literals in source code, that’s not much of a concern.
VSCode (and I’m sure other modern IDEs, but haven’t tested) will call out if you’re using a Unicode char that could be confused with a source code symbol (e.g. i and ℹ️, which renders in some fonts as a styled lowercase i without color). I’m sure it does the same on the long equals sign.
Any compiler will complain (usually these days with a decent error message) if someone somehow accidentally inserts an invalid Unicode character instead of typing ==
.
I have questions. Is this something in use today? Who is manufacturing them? Is this something you’re personally familiar with or just aware of?
Do you mean admonitions? E.g. info, warning, etc? There’s precedent for that in commonly-used open source implementations, e.g. obsidian.md (which uses the same syntax, and started before). What semantics does it break? It’s designed to read well in plaintext and render nicely even if used in a renderer that doesn’t support admonitions, e.g.
[!NOTE] Information the user should notice even if skimming.
As opposed to other common markdownish implementations that use nonsensical plaintext which renders poorly in alternative renderers. Here’s a discussion on the topic in the CommonMark forums.
What do people have against the Mach kernel?
Actually I’m guessing this is a localization failure
1 horizontal/1 vertical + laptop.
Horizontal is directly in front of me, used for whatever I’m currently focusing on - usually IDE or browser.
Vertical is to the side, used for anything auxiliary to my current task - browser, bug report, notes, chat, git gui, etc.
Laptop monitor is for anything I want to monitor, but don’t need to look at constantly - logs, news, incoming bug reports, etc.
I also make use of virtual desktops, so I have one for chat/email/general browsing, one for code editing with browser, git gui, IDE, and one for notes/zoom. Laptop screen doesn’t shift with virtual desktops so I always keep the monitoring open.
Favorite terminal? iTerm2 on mac, hands-down. Wish they would port it to Linux.
On Linux though, I usually end up using guake, as I like having easy drop-down global access to my terminal.
This made me go down a rabbit hole of server names and I now have a super long list of names from mostly Greek mythology that I’m going to use next time I have a chance
FYI user mentions in Lemmy are done with an not

Not exactly what you’re asking for, but GhostText might be useful. It lets you use your preferred text editor to write in any browser text field.

That’s cool! I’ve never heard of a contronym before.
However the difference is that most of those have different usages - e.g. if you say “I’m going to clip the hedges” vs “I’m going to clip something to the hedges”, you have to use the word differently. With “dust”, it’s different based on the context, because you need to be talking about some sort of powder to be talking about putting something on. If I said “I’m going to dust the furniture”, you would assume I meant clean, but if I said “dust the furniture with cleaning powder”, you’d probably understand the difference. Different locations and activities also help here (e.g. skiing, cake decorating, cleaning, etc).
Nonplussed on the other hand likely derives its alternate meaning from an incorrect understanding of the original meaning, and so it’s used in the exact same manner and context to mean the exact inverse. If I say the sentence “he was nonplussed at the news”, which meaning am I referring to?
“Table” is another contronym that’s ACTUALLY confusing (learned that one from this post as well).
I have never heard it used as general acceptance. That really drives me nuts! What good is a word that’s self contradictory 😨
This is a fantastic write-up, thanks for sharing!
