  • There are two main use-cases you want your color theme to address:

    1. Look at something and tell what it is by its color (you can tell by reading text, yes, but why do you need syntax highlighting then?)
    2. Search for something. You want to know what to look for (which color).

    I disagree. I want syntax highlighting because I think it’s easier to read. I don’t care much about which color everything is, just that different things have different colors. I don’t remember any color mappings, and I’m never thrown off guard if the color mapping change.

    When I read var count = 0L, I want to know that var is syntactically different from count, and count is different from 0L. That’s it.








  • Dedicate yourself with a more long term project (1+ months). I think the best way to learn is through the pain that comes with larger code bases.

    Start small. Add more and more features. If there’s something you don’t know how to make, find a tutorial or a guide and make it work with your project.

    Eventually you’ll discover pain points in your project. The feature you want to make doesn’t fit well with your current code. This is good time to learn from your previous mistakes and adapt your old code for the better (refactoring).

    Over time you’ll learn more and more techniques to write code that can grow. You’ll see for yourself why some coding styles are considered bad and why some are better. This is difficult to see just by working with short term weekend scripts.

    Don’t worry about failing. No one writes ”perfect” code. You’ll learn from your mistakes.





  • That article doesn’t point to any specific. Citing the article:

    On his Discord and social media accounts, Robinson shared Groyper memes, labeled Kirk a “Zionist sellout,” and praised Fuentes’ “purity tests” for conservatism.

    This could be the most concrete evidence. The question is, what memes did he share? What were the texts showing he praised ”purity tests”? There’s nothing in the article, and I haven’t seen anything surface since.

    Recovered rifle casings had chilling inscriptions like “Hey fascist! Catch!” and references to internet memes rooted in alt-right culture. Some even referenced the leftist anthem “Bella Ciao”—used ironically by the far-right online.

    The link between the inscriptions and the Groyper movement weak. Liking Helldivers 2 doesn’t make you a Groyper.

    To me, this sounds more like the typical fashion of old people not understanding young people internet culture, and attribute anything they don’t understand to the alt right.

    The rest of the article is just explaining the Groyper movement.
