  • Hi Arjan, here is a cool tip for you. If you rename your "development" folder to "developer", and place it in user directory. The folder icon will changed to Xcode icon, even in sidebar!

  • Thanks fir the video Arjan, have you automated the setup of your mac with dotfiles or similar? It was annoying to remember how to install all those tools and go through MacOS settings without it. Also, would be great to hear how you set up your Python and the tools around it (like linters and formatters via pipx, VS Code settings) and so on.

  • Amphetamine and AltTab. The former to prevent standby, the latter have a more windows like alt+tab behaviour that allows me to cycle through all windows (including hidden ones). Is anyone using the new macOS stages properly? I tend not to work in full screen a lot - am I missing out?

    • I am also about to buy one. Any experiences here on how fast you run into limits with 16GB memory (e.g. with docker usage)? I really love Macbook Airs for the light weight (I travel frequently), but the big downside is that you can't expand the memory. Curious to hear experiences about 16GB being plenty or if it still sometimes limits you.

  • What about the horrible slow docker performance when in emulation mode on mac, because the target arch is x64 (aka python needs different binaries for numpy etc.) Any tips?

    @maikwiesmuller1174@maikwiesmuller11742 ай бұрын

    • I‘m using Docker Desktop on a M1 MacBook at work. As we still have a lot of developers on x64 our base images are also built for this platform. Switching on Rosetta2 support in the Docker Desktop settings solved our performance issues. Starting up and running local containers is really fast now. I think this setting is now active by default on Apple Silicon Macs.

  • If you seriously insist on persisting with this terrible OS, at least do the rest of the world a favour: - use ASDF instead of homebrew; homebrew doesn't pin versions. ASDF is better than nvm. ASDF does python, go, rust, node, blah blah blah. seriously just use it. - reformat your harddrive to be case sensisive; it's not be default and it causes so many issues with renaming files in git. - setup fzf for autocomplete. (it's so strange that you characterise the default terminal as not having autocomplete, are you a warp shill?)

  • Legend has it that great developers always use dark mode as light attracts the bugs

    @sharabhshukla7918@sharabhshukla79183 ай бұрын

    • No, just the cocky developers with young eyes. Their focusing muscles and lens haven't betrayed them yet. Simple optics: Overall dark screen => pupils dilate => reduced depth of field => eye muscles tighten for more precise focus => fatigue/eyestrain => blurry vision and headaches. Arjan only has a little bit of grey in his beard, so probably no presbyopia yet. Dark mode is evil. Just say no.
