I do think it's kind of stupid to continue to spend time on the platform that, like most other platforms, uses metrics like time spent on the platform as a measure of audience retention to gauge consumer interest. Vote with your precious attention span. Just stop using reddit.

(just kicking things off here)

learning Vim was really great for me; I don't think I'll ever learn everything it has to offer but picking up a new shortcut is always so much fun, especially if the code isn't the most exciting.

The information on niche subreddits always has me crawling back, unfortunately. I usually access it from old.reddit.com, so my usage shouldn't be contributing to their advertising revenue.

Something about this guy rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the sweeping statements about upscaling. The industry has been moving away from "native" pixel counts for a while now. The techniques available to you if you leverage a good scaler is too useful to ignore. Either way, I feel the Remnant devs deserve a little slack for being the first third party developer to bring a Nanite game to release. Really excited to see how much geometric detail can be pushed with it. Pixel-perfect LODs would of course be impacted by upscaling techniques. Wish this person would go into that more instead of spreading FUD about upscaling.

(Almost to embarrassed to ask a question s as simple as this, but here we go...)

I hear a lot about shell scripts and how useful they are, but my expertise in Bash is pretty much limited—know I can pipe cat into vim, basic things like that—could you share some examples of what you can automate with shell scripts that you personally use often?

I love the idea of Emacs (especially of Doom!) I've played around with Doom a bit a few months ago and it was enjoyable to use, if a bit difficult to learn. Unfortunately, getting native compilation to work on Mac OS was making my install really brittle, but I might give it a second try after your comment.
