After setting up LunarVim, I wanted to get it to work with a NeoVim GUI I had tried some in the past, but did not like any. Then (I think on Discord) I came across some discussion that they got LunarVim (lvim henceforth) to work with Neoclide. I couldn’t even get it to run 😞 I tried VimR, and it worked. i.e. I got it running. But I didn’t like their default look.

I had never really left, but since both Doom and Lunar are NVim based configurations, they may overwrite the configurations (like from ~/.local/share/nvim/) So I completely removed both Doom and Lunar and reinstalled. I also installed ltex LSP for makrdown, which I could not do with Doom Nvim. My other requirement was projectile equivalent. I found that there is :Telescope projects built-in with Lunar.

I learnt a lot from everyone on the team, and made some new friends (I already knew a lot of folks from this team before I joined) during my stay. I will continue to cheer stck.me from the sidelines Some of my contributions during my time with scrollstack:

I already wrote about Lunar NVim Today I discovered Doom-Nvim Port of (sorta) Doom emacs to neovim ecosystem. What is not to like ? 😄 As I wrote in Lunar NVim post, I am happy with Doom emacs. But this might make me switch back to (n)vim 😄

I had already started tweaking it to my liking, but now changes are more than tweaks. e.g. The original theme did not have good image support. i.e. only images used were in the Author profile image, and it has rounded corners/circular shape, which does not work when image is part of the post itself.

Since I didn’t know where to begin, I just searched for requests on RubyGems Turns out Gem by the exact name exists and with description Because Requests for Python is awesome 🤗 But it isn’t updated in close to 5 years now. I also wanted to use something native (i.

I think tinkle It took me less than 5 minutes, but makes for a good break from work, and lets me keep practicing my art. The girl appears so happy showing off her new dress (I think) or she is just happy and frolicking. In either case, it is adorable. If you haven’t, you can check my older sketches here
While there are multiple ways to use Ruby debugger, for my first Ruby script (?) I found starting the script via rdbg to be the easiest. Like rdbg myscript.rb Debugger has all the basic command I have used elsewhere. n for next pp for pretty print q for quit For subsequent times, using require 'debug' followed by binding.break may be better. This README has all the details.
If I were to explain bundler to pythonista (like myself) I would say Bundler in Ruby land is like poetry in python land, except it does not create sandbox environment To explain it a little more. It tracks dependencies in a Gemfile (and Gemfile.lock) which then goes in your repo. Other engineers sharing your code would then run bundle install, and they get exact same Gems (including versions) on their machines.
