re: Medium I was genuinely curious why people use it, thanks for the clarification.
still as someone who writes only open source codes, it goes a bit against my religion, but I totally understand if your income depends on it! thanks for the text, and for the “friend link”. as promised… ; )
a slightly unrelated question. do the authors at least get paid for posting things on Medium? if not, why do that? I’m unironically curious. it’s a bad platform no matter how you look at it: it’s closed for unregistered readers, it’s typesetting sucks ass… the only reason I could see, is if the authors actually get some of the ad revenue, in which case I’d much rather pay directly to the authors.
whoever says pacman is enough either have all the time in the Universe to configure the miniscule knobs or have never done serious development with multi-platform/compiler deployments. controlling which compilers are used for which packages in pacman (or any other default package manager for that matter) is a headache. having multiple versions of non-conflicting gcc, llvm, cuda etc is priceless and very easy with brew.
elitism aside, brew is genuinely a good package manager when it comes to imperative ones. I still use it on my desktop arch extensively. ofc, if you have nix, there is really no good reason for it (and I’m not even sure it’s possible).
PS. “but you can use docker” – not if you want to have the same performance especially on GPUs. also have you ever tried containerizing HIP? it’s a frigging nightmare.
PPS. if you disagree with the first paragraph – please reach out or send links. i’d love to learn how to do these on finite timescales of our lifetime.
run with --password-store=basic flag from the command line. if that helps, simply make a .desktop file with the proper Exec= field. let me know if you need more details.
UPD: just saw there was an earlier response on this! hope that helped.
i really apologize if the use of that word was perceived as offensive, that was obviously not my intent. i’m usually quite straightforward in picking words (i come from a completely different culture, where sexual assaults are extremely uncommon).
PS. for the context of others reading this comment, the original title of this post was: “nmtui that does not rape your eyes.”
original Mario until lvl 8, cause the princess always fucking is in another castle (if you discount the mass genocide of mushrooms and turtles ofc)!
