Using and setting up Neovim in Windows 11 (not WSL)

When setting up nvim-treesitter neither clang nor msvc worked. Rather, it worked and compiled the necessary libs but the treesitter plugin failed to load the necessary .so libs. The common troubleshooting steps didn't help (setting up clang as preferred compiler etc.), so I just ended up installing zig and that helped to get it working.

Why do some people fork repos but make no changes to them?

Reply in thread

Forgejo has auto mirroring built in, it'll periodically sync the repos you add. The disadvantage is you have to add them manually. Initially I wanted a list of my started github repos synced to my forgejo instance and just added them one by one. A simple cron job might be enough to do that, but last time I checked github didn't have an API for fetching started repositories.

How do people handle keyboard and mouse Input?

Reply in thread

This is a solid advice. In the last Unreal Engine project that I was working, this is the approach I went for, entities handle their own input, with a few exceptions of course. Harder to find input handling but at least it's contained in a class the input actually needs to effect.

I'm in exactly tha same boat, but with 16 years of exp. I've considered investing into aviation school, but realistically it takes a couple of years and then a few more before you start earning well.

Has anyone used Void Linux? What was your experience?

Been using Void for a while now, at home and at work, about 4 installs in total.

I have my own packages repo which follows the official void-packages closely where I keep my custom templates, they get built by CI and signed, so on my void machines I simply add my repo to xbps config and get all my junk. Here's the repo: https://code.hosaka.cc/hosaka/vast-packages

In addition, I rsync the official repo to mirror it on my server that syncs every few hours and my custom packages are build against that (see the CI workflow in the repo). This also has a benefit of being able to update the packages on my machines from my own mirror at much faster speeds.

It took me a while to get things setup this way, but was worth it in the end.

Packages that cannot be accepted upstream: themes, icons, fonts, packages that are "too new" (think Zig 0.16 for example), anything that packages binary blobs, anything that maintainers refuse to accept like Brave browser, or even your own tools.

Just off the top of my head. The reason I started that repo in the first place was to get a Noctalia package that I can install across multiple machines.

All popular IDEs (and most apps) seem stuck in a single-monitor paradigm. When are we going to get an IDE that sets the bar for working with multiple monitors? For inspiration, look at multi-monitor

JetBrains IDEs can be easily configured for multi monitor setups. I use Rider daily and have a couple layouts saved for different purposes that make full use of 3 monitors, never really had a problem with it. Can you be more specific about what you want to achieve?

Mainly use it as a documentation search for APIs I'm not familiar with, or when I'm not sure what options there are to approach a problem. I work with unreal engine a lot, so I'd get a few pointers from an LLM first, then go read the source code of those APIs and inplement the rest myself.
