I nearly ran around on this. Barrelling towards it in my gaff cutter because my crew read the depth above chart datum as the depth below. Turned aside at the last minute when the waves started looking suspicious.

Another friend rescued two children who had become stranded as the tide came in behind them. Ran his barge around, hoiked them on board and gave them tea as they waited for the tide to float them off again. Fun times.


I've read a bunch of tutorials promoting env vars to avoid secrets being accidentally checked into git. Step 1 is usually to create a .env file and add it to your gitignore.


... and if you setup a git project and forget the gitignore

... your secrets get checked into git.


I made a 14ft oar to scull my sailing boat, a 9ton gaff cutter. Worked surprisingly well.


I feel that your last point is underappreciated. I enjoy my work more if I enjoy using my tools, and I enjoy using vim.


At a pinch, drilling a hole the external diameter of the plug cutter and clamping that to the board you are getting the plug out of can act as a guide so the plug cutter doesn’t spiral out and cut a hole in the wooden stairs you are using as an impromptu bench (for example).


Or the foot acting as an impromptu clamp (for example).


A really fun feature of herbstluftwm that I’ve not seen replicated is that monitors are virtual and can be reconfigured on the fly, so you can have e.g. a monitor that is bigger than your physical screen, or a little virtual monitor that you can pop in and out of your screen as a kind of notepad.


I mostly work with python and drop pdb into my code if I want to step through and see what’s going on. I run tests with the make command so I can use the quickfix list to skip between errors.


> multi-file find/replace

This is something I’ve found very easy in vim with bufdo , windo, or populating the quickfix list (or args list) and using cfdo/cdo or argdo to be really specific about where the replace should happen (e.g. replace FOO with BAR only on lines containing STRING or in files containing STRING).


I've tried a lot of multiple file, find and replace solutions, and spectre is the one that seems to make the most sense to me. There's not much to it but it's very effective. Regex works the way that I expect and it's easy to toggle options on and off.

I have just installed it and it looks really neat, i usually switch back and forth between neovim and emacs (depending of the type of project), and use deadgrep and deadgrep-edit-mode for that but may as well use sometime nvim-spectre..


Too dangerous compared to what? Cars? If we replaced all the cars with bikes would you expect injuries/deaths to increase or decrease?


I find it mildly uncomfortable to hold shift while typing. And as there is a key for that purpose, which is in the same place on all keyboards, it seems more straightforward for me to use it for its intended purpose rather than something else. I’m not even sure what I would remap it to.
