That article came out February of last year? How am I only seeing it now?!
The Onion is top notch
I think that's a broom, not a plunger. Assuming I'm looking at the thing you're talking about
Oh interesting! That comes directly from the ancient Greek. The Greek letter upsilon (which actually looks like this: "υ") is usually transliterated in the Latin alphabet as "y".
I did too, and worse, I couldn't remember why I knew it until I got to the end and then I just made the grumpy Bernie face, you know, this one:
Figured out my godot text editor problem! I'm now using neovim in a drop-down quake-like terminal so it takes up the same screen space as the built-in text editor and can be easily hidden when needed. Neovim happily talks to godot's lsp server (as long as godot is running), giving me code completion and all that good stuff.
I'm quite happy with this setup, it's very nice!
Thanks @hello_hello@hexbear.net for finding the thread that helped me find this new setup!
Ha, I'm not actually too surprised Jorbs is a communist. He seems super thoughtful and compassionate, and every time I've heard him even gesture towards his own politics, it's seemed like a decent, non-ghoulish take.
It's good to know though! Jorbs is pretty fun to watch, I like his incredibly dry sense of humor. It's so funny to me when someone in chat has a terrible bit of slay the spire advice and Jorbs just absolutely roasts them while never changing his tone even a little bit
I hadn't seen that thread, but there are some avenues to explore there. Like maybe trying neovim, which has matured and stabilized since last I looked at it. It doesn't quite solve my screen space issue, but maybe the answer there is to mess with the layout of godot itself so I can fit a text editor on the same screen as the godot window at the same time.
Thanks!
I'm trying to learn godot (because game dev seems pretty neat and it's a kind of coding with lots of near-instant visual feedback, which I find appealing). It's going well, pretty fun, I'm getting decent at reading the godot docs, everything is cool.
Except. I've been using vim (and then later spacemacs) for like 15 years and godot doesn't have a vim mode and it's fucking killing me! How am I supposed to edit text without vim-like key bindings?! How the hell do people work like this?!
If I'm going to seriously make games, even as a hobby, I need a solution and so far I haven't found one. I think I may have to write a gdscript layer for spacemacs, but that's not a great solution, for a couple of reasons.
First, I have very little experience with emacs lisp. I'd have to learn more about the inner workings of emacs than I ever wanted to. And like, that's cool and good, emacs lisp is neat and learning how to customize emacs is worthwhile, but I think it'll be really hard and the final product will be far from perfect.
Second, using an external text editor is going to break the workflow I've gotten pretty comfortable with, and also it would take up valuable screen space in a way that godot's built in text editor doesn't.
I don't know what to do. I was hoping I could maybe just live without vim key bindings. That worked for my first project (a flappy bird clone) because there wasn't really that much code that needed writing (and editing afterwards). But as I'm now working on a real project that has me writing much more complicated and longer code that I've already had to refactor once, it's become clear to me that just straight up isn't going to work. It's rage inducing to try to code in a modeless text editor.
Anyway, if anyone happens to have any ideas about solutions I've missed, please do let me know!
I (finally) watched the new It movies (2017 and 2019), and apparently those clown sightings in 2016 were probably marketing for the movie. I don't really know if that's true, but it sure sounds true
Oh I love you all so much. I read the title, saw 33 comments and my first thought was "shit, someone's probably being weird in the comments, talking about how actually, for real, this is an important problem (it isn't)". Then I get in here and it's all jokes, except for one possible debunking of the article.
Thanks for brightening my day by not buying into "muh birthrates!!1!!!" nonsense!
Huh, Jonathan Chait likes charter schools. He says so in this terrible article. Well, he doesn't seem to want to use the phrase "charter schools", instead just talking repeatedly about "school reform". Which is indeed a euphemism for wanting charter schools, as I had to click a link to learn.
Why use a euphemism here? Why not just say you're in favor of charter schools? Is he embarrassed about it? But then why say anything at all? I'm puzzled
