My best guess is it’s a play at the usual “all you do in python is import libraries without knowing how they work lololol” dig but yeah, I don’t find it particularly funny either

It doesn’t, you can install it on mostly any Linux distro

Or better yet, an option to point it to my own self-hosted OpenAI API compatible endpoint on top of one to disable it entirely.

Edit: On second thought, the copilot integration probably goes deeper than that but still

I’m assuming that’s why they added “relatively”

Ah, interesting! I’d have guessed about a dozen annoyances before that one even came to mind haha. Hope you have a good time around these parts at any rate :)

Also, I’d never taken a serious look at the German layout but going by the truly wild differences there you may as well stick with what you have IMO, I think it’s what I’d do at least.

A lot of us don’t live in the US to begin with, so I assume a significant portion of us just use whatever the local standard is. That’s where I’ve been at so far, the Brazilian layout is a QWERTY variant so not that different. It does make some things more awkward, but you get used to what you have to work with.

Brackets and curly braces are less convenient off the top of my head, backticks too. Vim is a tad less ergonomic without some extra fiddling, for instance. In fact, I’ve been considering getting a US keyboard for coding to make that kinda thing less of an issue, US international makes accents and whatnot accessible enough that I think I could make it work.

I’ll second Rust, it’s so fresh and versatile! You can go from super low level stuff all the way to things like web frameworks with WebAssembly and whatnot.

The memory model is definitely a unique beast but I’ve found it gave me some insight on how it all actually works behind the scenes and I appreciate the strictly enforced correctness too.

I can only hope so

Right you are, I didn’t mean to gatekeep. More of a subtle dig at the IMO out of place bigotry on display on the original comment.

Going by how OP worded their comment, I can’t imagine they’re too enthused about homosexuality being acknowledged as a stable sexual orientation either

I love that, great analogy! I don’t think I’d ever make that connection since I’m pretty sure they both sounded about equally alien back when I was introduced to them 😅

Is using something like typst to generate your exams an option? There’d be a learning curve but it’s full of utilities to format and arrange content and whatnot so it feels like it could be a cleaner way of achieving what you want. Plus, it’d make iterating easier and give you more consistency over time going forward

Ideally, you need at least some basic understanding to use the vast majority of languages. The problem isn’t even writing the code itself, you can definitely just memorize the keywords and some basic concepts and have at it. If you ask me, the real issue is the availability, amount and overall quality of documentation and learning material if you go about it that way.

I have a few coworkers who skipped the learning English part and learned most everything from other non native speakers and they tend to be crippled by often not really being able to make use of official documentation or keep up with new things, since the vast majority of content out there is in English. It also has the unfortunate side effect of pushing them to stick with whatever it is they learned way back when and not really looking for better ways of getting things done.

So basically, you can pull it off without knowing English but it’s going to be suboptimal and/or painful IMO.

I’ve always struggled with actually retaining knowledge on how to use the myriad tools you’d usually need to extract/parse data (awk, sed and friends) and this was a game changer. I don’t quite daily drive it just yet but when I do need it, it’s vastly more ergonomic.

It says a lot that I don’t know a lick of Esperanto yet even without the emote I’d have known for sure what you were saying. Working as intended!

I don’t have much experience with similar tools but that looks quite interesting, thanks for sharing!

As someone who clicked partly to check if it was Rust-based, I think that’s a 100% fair call-out lol

winget, choco and that other one

Scoop? If so, highly recommend to fellow developers!

Well, here’s hoping you land on your feet!

Ah, can’t say I expected to come across the person behind komorebi today! Really appreciate your work, such a cool project you wouldn’t expect on Windows of all places.

Anyway, sounds like an interesting watch, thanks for sharing!
