Worse than single letters
  • I came here to say this.

    Declare result in the first line of the function and return result is the last line. In C++, this is a big hint to the compiler that you want return value optimization to kick in.

  • KVM: what is your favorite?
  • separate switch for KM (a usb3 switch+hub) and for V.

  • Which Mac(s) are you currently you using and how do you like it so far?
  • M2 Air

    Use: this is my main work computer, which I use to develop MacOS system software.

    Peripherals: a 32-inch 4k display, which I use instead of my laptop screen.

    Apps: All I use are Terminal, Firefox, Slack, Outlook, & Zoom.

    I wish I worked on Linux. The system would be less opaque.

  • I like Mastodon (and I wish more Twitter users would switch over!). I wish Lemmy was as polished as Mastodon. For example, Mastodon has the rel="me" profile link verification while Mastodon does not.

    I hate that a single company controls all of Reddit.

    Reddit really benefits from the network effect of having many millions of users.

    I'm not sure how Lemmy instances will end up paying for themselves, but it they don't allow images or video, it might be supported with donations.

    I wish Lemmy integrated with Mastodon more. For example, I should have a single login for both, when they have the same host!

    Lemmy needs better ways to discover and organize communities, even more so than Reddit does!

    • less
    • grep
  • Why do you personally prefer using an Android phone?
  • yeah, even though I buy a phone more often, and even though I'm willing to buy a mid-range phone, I still spend less on average than my wife who buys iPhones.

  • Why do you personally prefer using an Android phone?
  • I can write my own apps without anyone's permission!

  • Vim Cheat Sheet
  • I have memorized a few dozen commands. there are a few I don't remember but need occasionally. I post those on the bulletin board above my computer screen until I learn them. now it's spelling commands (]s [s z= and zg).
