I use Jenkins for work, unfortunately, so I have plenty of experience
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
The WinAmp maybe sorta open-sourcing is interesting. I've never used it (aside from downloading it to get MilkDrop working in Foobar2000).
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.
- Prettier is the undisputed king of JS formatters because it has no options by design. You set and forget.
- One of the reasons iOS is so successful is because they lock down their APIs and put strict standards on apps, making it hard to write something that doesn't at least look good and slot into the OS well.
Among other examples.
I disagree that procedural generation makes games more boring and repetitive. I think it depends on the game and how the procedural generation is implemented. Look at Noita for example - uses lots of procedural generation, mixed with some handcrafted elements, and it's really fun! Terraria, another similar formula.
Not my cup of tea, but a lot of people love No Man's Sky for that reason - it's fun to explore the crazy combinations.
The original Elite was procedurally generated IIRC, and from what I understand it was super fun (before my time though).
These names are really fun! Good ones to add to my list...
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?
Not to disagree with your point about learning git, but you might be interested to know that "all large companies use git" isn't actually exactly true - Facebook/Meta, one of the largest tech companies, uses mercurial: https://graphite.dev/blog/why-facebook-doesnt-use-git
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.
Nice to see that BitWarden's UI is getting some love... I tried using it a while back but couldn't get past the terrible UX. Been happy with 1password since but maybe I'll try switching again...
