Biggest thing that JetBrains has over VSCode for me was their very clean built in database tooling

You can also run the database tool separate (DataGrip). That's what I do.

I didn't know about DataGrip. Looks cool.

Every year or so I try to go back to VSCode but I can’t get past how good the git and database integrations are in JetBrains.

I think Code has fine git integration, but they way they implement it is just very Microsoft. The UI is very much like the one they use in their professional Visual Studio UI, and whether that's a good thing or not is definitely a very personal choice.

I much prefer JB's git integration, but I wouldn't discount it just because the UI is so completely different.

the crawlers are working hard today because I got lead here just by searching for a better man page on kagi

I liked the idea of using nvim but i rewrote it with bash function for easier argument handling

  nman () {
    if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
      echo "Usage: nman <command>"
      return 1
    fi
    command nvim "+hide Man $1"
  }

> Pix has spiced up Brazil’s fusty banking sector, but it gives the central bank a worrying amount of power

Economist what you think central bank does exactly that this is somehow too far?

This is the same president that wants to give the death penalty to Drug Dealers but I guess that's fine so long as you use crypto.

no tidal support yet but looks very useful for one off uses

caffeinate -d is incredibly useful for work... uh reasons

Jiggler is better for that at least from a set-it-and-forget-it perspective vs. caffeinate where you have to manually set it.

This is very annoying. Even with the prevalence of smart tvs some tvs just don't come with all streaming apps I want and Chromecast was a great inexpensive option. They are discontinuing it in favor of a product that appeals to a totally different market in mind at 2x-3x the price. Roku still mostly fills that niche but I don't see the logic in this move at all.

"People should just stop" is never the right answer. You might as well be commanding an engine to stop overheating.

This is the opposite of claiming that people should become more moral. This is setting rules. They shouldn't be set around "morality," they should be set around established civil liberties.

1) I don't understand this argument. As if we don't absolutely do this all the time. Theft as a concept is impossible to completely prevent yet we still know it to be illegal. Same with Vandalism. The supreme court just made it legal to prosecute the homeless. Hell there are countries were suicide is illegal.

2) You say this as if a room temp superconductor is something that endless dollars aren't spent on trying to achieve.

> They shouldn't be set around "morality," they should be set around established civil liberties.

These are not whole distinct things. They are two overlapping circles. No one but the most unscrupulous of lawyers conceive of these a 2 wholly distinct entities.

Unethical or "uncivil" behavior is something that happens and to act like we have are hands are tied and shouldn't adapt to address this because our hands are tied because there are unintended consequences is asinine and impractical.
