Random reminder to use a password manager if you aren't already! It'll help you stay safe online by using long, unique passwords for each service you use.

While LastPass or 1Password are great choices, I prefer KeePassXC

I spent my day playing with lunar arithmetic and #Rust! https://github.com/sts10/lunar-arithmetic

This Reddit post about getting file previews in Neovim (using FZF, RG, Bat, and Devicons) looks really good and creative

https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/9xpb18/file_preview_with_fzf_rg_bat_and_devicons/

though these are commands... the opposite of what I would have guessed? " looks like a vertical split!

sweet, think this BASH function creates a tmux session called sync (if it's not already created), and then starts up syncthing in the session, all without ever entering the session 🙌

oh wow, tmux seems pretty useful

(I started with this guide https://hackernoon.com/a-gentle-introduction-to-tmux-8d784c404340)

nvm, think these 3 lines did it https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/7764#issuecomment-411995268

hm trying to get started with tmux and having a weird color issue

Most if not all of the colors in my (Neo)Vim colorscheme are slightly different when running Neovim inside tmux (they're normal when I run Neovim outside of a tmux session). Maybe a tmux config issue (I haven't edited any tmux config files...)

From a 2012-version an essay in the book:

"Meanwhile, in the few areas in which free, imaginative creativity actually is fostered, such as in open-source... software development, it is ultimately marshaled in order to create even more, and even more effective, platforms for the filling out of forms... administrative imperatives have become not the means, but the end of technological development."

Just realized that the Rust compiler is a perfect bureaucracy: unbiased, universal, efficient, and safely allows for creativity
