Wtf windows search is so much snappier now!!!!

Thank you!

Thank you! Every time a story like this comes up, people seem to wanna pretend managing your own hardware is all sunshine and rainbows. Especially if you want global scale or as little down-time as possible, cloud provider's your best bet, albeit one where you have less control than you would with your own servers.

Opinion: You should be building on top of open source platforms and tools (Docker, Kubernetes if you need it...granted I'm not an expert in this area) to mitigate some of the vendor-lockin, and take a multi-cloud approach. If you're mainly hosting on GCP for example, host smaller deployments on AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, or something else as a contingency...eventuality you can also add or just move to your own servers relatively painlessly. Also AGGRESSIVELY backup up your database in multiple places.

Telescope?

Obligatory boo and/or hiss

I've also been meaning to give emacs a try but haven't found the time or energy to figure out how to exit vim

So far I haven't been brave enough for that feature. It's either "that main place yank goes", "system clipboard", or "that place that makes it disappear" for me

I'm an idiot and I think I confused the two haha

My thought process based on when I setup my config: "yank copies to my main 'buffer', yank copies to system clipboard through that special 'buffer', and delete deletes without replacing what's in my main 'buffer'. I have multiple clipboards!"

Completely forgot they're called registers and that buffers are just "where text is" (at least as far as I understand it)

Wait is that an actual thing?

That's actually the biggest thing I miss about VSCode

Holy crap I think that may be why I never used it. Fuck how much Windows likes to calls home

Global clipboard is chef's kiss. Back when I was on Ubuntu/Gnome, I had to install CopyQ but having one come with the OS is great

On the flip side, twone absolutely ruined my life. Worst part was that I was looking at it and thinking "yes I handled that edge case and am only taking the first number, why's it not working"

Everything else has been a breeze. I'm using typescript and it's been chill.

1. On a college project, a friend was working on some changes on a branch which I proceeded to merge into my working branch. Visual Studio asked to stash, I said yes, his changes replaced mine, I panicked, raged, then redid the whole thing because I had no idea what a f***ing stash is.

2. On our final project, my friend and I had separate branches we were working on and since we both thought git was magic, we figured we'd just merge our changes the day we were supposed to submit. So naturally we had a merge conflict on a single file that he had since been restored (by re-commiting the old version, not git restore) which meant we had to spend that morning frantically recommitting? rebasing? (still not sure) the next 92 commits (I just checked the repo) and hoping we didn't break anything in the process.

3. There was that time at my job when I accidentally pushed some stuff I REALLY shouldn't have only to realize I had no force push permissions on a gitlab repo I created because it was under a group owned by the org. That one was there for months before I finally asked someone with the permissions to sort out (and they didn't forget to do it).
