I don't love #Microsoft nor their products, but the Language Server Protocol they've created is the best thing ever. It allows to create really nice integrations of #programming languages with the editors that support the #LSP, like #Vim.
So even for Vim users like me, the #VisualStudioCode train is influencing the way I work.
Currently testing with Dart and it's working quite nice.
Seems Google is playing with necromancy to raise #Dart language from the dead in #Flutter framework.
The bad thing is that Dart doesn't really introduce any groundbreaking features. The good thing is that since it's so similar to other languages, it's very easy to learn.
The framework itself is pretty cool, I was able to create a small mobile app after few hours of reading. Can't wait for #Fuchsia

In the last 3 months: one Polish Bitcoin exchange stopped paying Polish taxes because of relocation to a different country, another one started the liquidation process because of problems with bank deals preventing them from accepting fiat currencies, and another, biggest one, declared relocating to Malta in nearest weeks.
This is what happens when people that have no idea about a subject try to regulate things.

Yesterday evening I've released #TrueSight v1.5 hex editor after a long delay. Users of previous versions should receive an update notification if they have it enabled.
Any thoughts and comments are more than welcome!

Please beware of bugs and give me a note if you'll find something doesn't work as expected.

If you're using bash or zsh and you don't know the ^X^E shortcut, learn it now.
First, ensure you have a valid `EDITOR` environment variable set to your favourite editor (like vim or emacs).
Second, enter some command, but don't hit enter.
Third, use Ctrl+X Ctrl+E and learn that you can use your editor to modify the command before running it in the shell.
This is pretty helpful if you're trying to edit a long command line.

Concurrent programming is hard.
"[...] It was involved in at least six accidents between 1985 and 1987, in which patients were given massive overdoses of radiation.
