The comment is tongue in cheek. On the discord it was discussed at length and some of the plugins in the Pro version were actually considered anti-patterns, it actually is kinda easy to complicate things needlessly when getting used to D* and I know I did this too in the beginning.

As was said by the commenter in another reply, the inspector is actually the bit that makes the Pro version much more appealing but most people wouldn't know from the sidelines.


These days I feel like a stick figure drawing in MS Paint even if crude denotes that an actual effort was made compared to "Generate an image of XYZ that includes blah blah blah..." sadly.

In my mind both are first steps to something more "proper" but one is at least hand-crafted artisan-ish compared to the other.

I have no qualms about using AI generated images as placeholder stuff or as a first step in an iterative process but when someone just slaps the image without the least bit of retouching it ends up looking kitsch.


I've been keeping my eye on jank for a few years and it's amazing how much progress has been made since the creator went full time on it and the number of contributors has increased. I'm incredibly excited for the alpha release in December.

It's worth noting that now Clojure becomes like the One Ring "... to bring them all and in the darkness bind them" when it comes to surface area. You've got the classic Clojure hosted on Java, then you've got Babashka as a Bash/Python/Perl replacement for scripts, ClojureScript for the Web and Node, ClojureDart for Flutter app development, and now finally you can drop down and interop with a systems language (the imgui demo in the blog post is already cool!).

The elephant in the room is Rust which kinda delivers a similar outcome, write one language for web servers, desktop apps, embedded devices, games, CLI tools, phone apps, web apps and so on. But the way they go about accomplishing that couldn't be more different. At this point I'm primed to go for the punk option of choosing jank over Rust because while rust-analyzer is amazing in its own right to aid you towards "if it compiles then it works" the REPL-driven development flow provided by Clojure/jank cannot be overlooked.

I can't overstate how hyped I am for jank's alpha release and I love these periodic status updates!



Oh man, I forgot about Regolith! I ran it for a few weeks on an old ThinkPad a few years ago when it had a new release and it was pretty nice compared to configuring i3 and all that myself.


Yeah, it was funny the first time a YouTuber[0] did something like that but now I feel like the joke got out of hand a bit, I blame the uptrend of opinionated configs to turn code editors into bona fide IDEs[1][2][3] for this.

Welp, looking forward to the holy wars between people running different influencers' configs five years from now. Who knows, maybe we'll see premium versions of those too.

I just want to say that Solvespace is amazing, I was able to follow a tutorial on YouTube and then design a split keyboard case for CNCing, all pretty quickly a few years ago.

Thank you for maintaining it!


KeepassXC combined with Syncthing is enough for me too.


I've been using this combo since many years and it's been working flawlessly across: 2 mobile phones, 2 laptops, 1 Synology server.


And here I thought that at least I was getting my B vitamins in. That's just awful, thanks for sharing.


thanks for sharing.

You are quite welcome. I hope this gets some people curious enough to research.

Even if they were the active form there are typically only two or three of them. A healthy diet is the optimal method to get all the B vitamins or at least the 13 critical B vitamins but if ones lifestyle is preventing this one can get them from a B-50 complex. A healthy diet should be preferred when possible.
