I'd like to hear some thoughts and first impressions about my new project. Is this useful? A good or bad idea? Know of any projects that already solve the same problems better? Grateful for any feedback.

Hello people of the Fosstodon,
here is my third and last episode on Vim Basics, today on advanced and practical Vim tips!

Just learned about #vim's printfont setting, which can be used in the following way:

:set tabstop=29
:set printfont=consolas:h8
:hardcopy

I did this because I wanted to format some homework for my databases class using tabs to align table columns. The large tab size needed caused the table lines to wrap, so I decided to lower the font size to make the lines fit inside the page.

What is your opinion about `#deny(warnings)` in a rust crate?

Linux is about imagination:
"Linux... is... a huge collection of parts. A lot of steel struts, screws, nuts, gears, pulleys, motors, and a few suggestions on what to build. So you start to play with it. You build one of the suggestions and then another. After a while you discover that you have your own ideas of what to make... [Linux] takes on the shape of your imagination. It does what you want."

Want to learn Vim, but every time I try I fail. Advice?

"Rendering on the Web" by Jason Miller and Addy Osmani https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/02/rendering-on-the-web

This is a good read on the state-of-the-art in Server Side Rendering vs Client Side Rendering vs everything in between. Interesting to see that they are explicitly discouraging SSR Hydration. It was a promising technology, but it looks like in the real world it doesn't actually give many performance gains, and leads to an "uncanny valley" where sites look interactive but aren't.

Finally got around to customizing the color scheme since now the colors indicate what kind of key each one is. And the lack of key symbols has made it easier for me to wrap my head around a few other tweaks I wanted to make, so now I have dedicated [ and ] keys!

Ok I am totally enamored with Qutebrowser... if only I had some easy guide on how to protect it better from tracking etc...
When I am done with this learning-python stint for a week - I will go back on seting up my i3 thing so I can reinstall the laptop and do it properly

#todayilearned that you can execute a Normal mode command in #vim from any other mode by using the Alt key. So if you're in Insert mode and want to format the paragraph you're in, you would do Alt+g, release Alt, then w, i, p. What happens is Alt makes the given command exit to Normal mode before executing.

Fifteen years of Vim and I keep learning new shit.

Are you frustrated about all the old #rustlang book links linking to the foreword of the current edition of the book? We need your help! <3
