git/repo/managers - tools for Microservices that rely on multiple git repos
- I noticed some strange behavior this morning when doing my morning flashcard review. At a certain point, I get some blank flashcards. I see 68 flashcards are left, but I can't get to the next ones. I think it might be related to how I removed certain flashcards from Lightroom/Classic/Keyshort/Navigate modules.
- vim/help/help in order to review the source rather than just see the answer.
- came across something that said one can follow a vim/help/Tag "by using
CTRL-] or <C-Leftmouse> or g<LeftMouse>"
- does vim really have a
g leader for the left mouse button? - in
<C-Leftmouse>, is C Ctrl or Cmd - apparently one can use
CTRL-T or CTRL-O for jumping back. for some reason I forgot that I have a font installed that has a slash through the 0, O in CTRL-O stands for "Go to [count] Older cursor position in jump list (not a motion command)," so O stands for Older. I found that in the vim help file vim/help/motion, which possibly explains the parenthetical. - i didn't know about the vim/jump/list list, though
CTRL-O is somewhere in my muscle memory. I still haven't figured out how to use it. strangely, - vim/Q/Is the vim help available online in such a way that I could import into Readwise? For example, is it in PDF form?
- transferring to another computer, I'm finding that the work I did with Codex/Desktop/MacOS 2026-04-25 Sat and 2026-04-26 Sun to trust the binary cache of numtide didn't work. it's taking a LONG time to build the full configuration, and I can see it's trying to build deno (presumably for Codex/CLI) as well as Zed.
- I hardly ever use Zed; I just installed it on a lark in order to have some default gui editor for markdown files since dexter horothy said the startup time was fast and the markdown support was great. come to think of it, I don't think I've used it yet.
- I ended up having AI/Coding write a custom Nix/Overlay which loads a binary built by the zed team. My main question is ... isn't there a standard way to have nix depend on the binaries that are pre-built, rather than building them ourselves? It seems like many nix users in the nix community would want this. Otherwise we'd all end up paying $9/month to DeterminateSystems for personal binary caches.
- devenv/Devcontainer more nix ecosystem devcontainer support
- Considered using mise for all Global CLI Tools
