Finally found how to use the spellchecker in #vim, beware from my ultra-correct spelling... https://www.linux.com/training-tutorials/using-spell-checking-vim/ (Protip: use "set spellfile=<dir>/en-dictionary.add" to save your dictionary to a folder that is under source control.)

Current #programming setup: - Vertical monitor - Ubuntu High-Contrast and Monochrome theme - VS Code with #haskell language server installed (stupid, but I now realize this exists)

How do you want to be remembered? "I don’t really much care, because I won’t be around to glory in it. I don’t know, as somebody who was a good writer, a decent magician and who tried to follow his path with integrity to the best of his ability. And also that I was really sexy. That would do […]

I don't know why, but I really enjoy reading such books, I get nostalgic, and at the same time I always learn something new (OK, I guess I know why) The #haskell road to #logic #math and #programming https://dl.icdst.org/pdfs/files3/d886fabbfccb269dfd3e52dfd2d1040b.pdf PS Check this one as […]

You think that the #ai hype in #programming cannot make business people more stupid? Today I saw a job ad for "AI code reviewer"

To kill an art, create a way to perform the utilitarian aspect of it in a way that is formulaic and efficient i.e. artless. (The art is not really dead, it is just understood by a very small amount of people (mostly other creators).) The art of manufacturing clothes, pottery etc were all […]
