The Nvim 0.4 compositor-based UI is driving important features such as floating windows, detached layouts, and redraw performance. Eye-candy isn't a high priority, but the 'pumblend' feature (~200 LoC) is a fun demo of what's possible. We expected it to ruffle feathers :)

very impressed w/ @Roblox . in a few hours, my 13yo son and I created a maze game w/ scripted (Lua ❤️) events, sound effects, teleport effect ... runs on all devices + multiplayer automatically. in contrast, Unity was full of bugs + terrible UX + performance.

Eh, gets its own wikipedia page but Neovim is a footnote on the Vim page. Ok :)

> Programmers frequently turn to the joy of open source exactly because it exists outside the normal employment dynamics of quid-pro-quo. That's the relief. Surprising but true. Developing @neovim is an alluring palliative for the agony of my "day job".

Open source is neither a community nor a democracy

Using open source software does not entitle you to a vote on the direction of the project. The gift you've received is the software itself and the freedom of use granted by the license. That's it,...

Asymmetric advantage of open source vs enterprise: trivial to "exit" counter-productive coworkers.

It just works. Portable HHGTTG, <10 GB. $ ./wizardcoder.llamafile -p $'```lua\nlocal function nvimBufText(bufnr)\n' -r $'```\n' local function nvimBufText(bufnr) local lines = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_lines(bufnr, 0, -1, false) return table.concat(lines, "\n") end

I wrote a blog post "Bash One-Liners for LLMs" which explains how to use yesterday's llamafile v0.3 release to analyze image files and URLs in your shell scripts.

Any startup gets a 2x strength bonus vs megacorps, by not constantly twiddling with telemetry.

"Data driven" usually means CYA. Where's your empirical evidence (data!) of ROI on your telemetry apparatus vs spending that (cognitive, etc.) budget on actual dev work? For non-mature product, it's a distraction. data science ~ agile consulting 2.0

I've been using vscode-neovim for 2+ years IRL. No idea why anyone still uses VSCodeVim.
