Thank u! Guess I'll stick with Parallels for now.
Hi, I'm using a MacBook Pro 2018, and I'm dipping my toes into virtual machine, tried VirtualBox and then moved to QEMU with [UTM](https://mac.getutm.app/) after some recommendation on YouTube saying KVM is just better. However, my Windows 10 virtual machine created with UTM is so slow and laggy. Then I tried the [Parallel Desktop](https://www.parallels.com/), which is propriety and the performance is so much better. Why is that? I don't want to use a propriety paid program for VM, so I want to ask how to improve performance on UTM or any open-source alternative that gives the performance on par with one on parallel desktop. Thanks for your help! []() []() []() []()

I used bare git repo before, then switch to GNU Stow + Nix home-manager.

Comic Sans is the answer.

I tried it, it's nice, thank you man! I'm on zsh, so I have to add history 0
in pick_from_history
tho. It would be nicer if it allows continuous deletion and not need to rerun every time. Btw, even when I delete it locally it wouldn't delete already synced history on Atuin, I guess I'll take a look at that later.

Oh, I didn't know that, thanks! Do you know any quick way to search and delete password contained commands in the history?
I already posted this on `c/commandline` but I think it's more suitable here.

done!
Welcome to Tmux community, let's share your configs, seek technical help and have some discussions.
Hi guys, it's my new blog post on managing snippets with a TUI program called [Nap](https://github.com/maaslalani/nap). I know it not addressing Neovim specifically, but writing code in the terminal in general, and I'm requesting `Tmux` community btw. Hope you find the blog useful.

I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure

Good for him, I personally think null-ls should be a core functionality rather than a plugin.
howarddo 1 year ago • 100%
If you suspect plugins break your macros, do a binary chop disable plugins until you find the culprit. That's what I usually do.

I think you can learn a thing or two from this guy's config, his keybinding config is clean and I stole it :D toggle layzygit and vifm from toggleterm is nice if you use them. Btw: it only configs float terminal, side by side terminals I just use tmux instead

Nice, I'm using leap.nvim and will give this a try. Seems like a better implementation

Hi guys, I'm a soydev trying to learn rust. It's hard, especially with the references, ownership, the compiler goes crazy every time and I just throw all the references, dereference until it stops. I'm not used to it coming from JS. Do you have some resource, tips to improve on this? Thank you very much. Side note: what is your first project in rust? And what are some interesting open-source rust projects, you go to learn from/ contribute to?

It's kinda janky, many neovim plugins don't work inside vscode
howarddo 1 year ago • 100%
Are those two servers bridged?
he gives some really nice tips with the the `g` key, I think u can learn a thing or two from this.

I can help with c/linux
If you are like me, chances are you used Neovim for a period of time without knowing the basics. The notion of buffers windows and tabs in Vim is quite different from other IDEs/code editors. I suggest you read through this and [this Stackoverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/26710166/14156935) to get some understanding of this matter.

I dont mind using iphone over android, it's just that Apple make it so damn hard to build an app for iOS (require Xcode on macOS only) and not allow sideloading app, like hello? I'm the one who own the phone here. So I stick with android, and think anybody who like to tinker with their setup and is a little tech savy should not use Iphone. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

wow, you built that? That's so cool man! Thanks for the advice

just come back to reddit and tell people to move here guys. Other than that, just add reddit to google search to get better result, that's it. I wish lemmy will have better SEO in the future.

nice, I'll check it out

I don't see it necessarily a bad thing tho, yes the bigger community will attract more people, but smaller ones like in this instance can have more niche, more closed interaction. We're not trying to compete here, users can subscribe to multiple community if needed. On Reddit it's the same, r/art and there's r/art2 and so on. If one turns bad, there's still a community for people to move to.

Very nice, thanks. But I'm not always inside neovim to use this plugin tho

I think we should have opensource

I think the main pain point of distro hopping is learning a new package manager, I discovered Nix a while ago, it works on every single OS, has the biggest package repo out there. I replaced Homebrew on my mac with it. If this piques your interest, give it a go. Later, you can integrate with Home-manager to manage all of your program config to have a reproducible dev environment on any machine, as described in the [tutorial here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utoj6annRK0). The catch is it's really advanced and got steep learning curve. You can adopt gradually tho. Just get started with `nix-shell` and `nix-env`

Just make anything that the easiest to do that can help people, no matter how mundane it is, the point is to get started making videos. I'm just a beginner so if u got beginner tutorial I will watch it! Good luck

What are some of your recommendations for books, videos, podcasts, or any other media that inspire and spark more passion for programming and computer science in general? I'm interested in hearing how these resources have helped you grow as a programmer.
I'm a beginner who just started to read the rust book, I find it quite tedious and wonder how long does it take u guys to read it? Also, any suggestion after finishing reading the book?
I found this post really helpful to anyone who is using tmux
