Helix is a simple install, easy to give it a try and see what you think. For most people, there’s no configuration necessary to get started. I jumped through the hoops to get C++ tools in a variety of editors, and nothing was as simple as Helix for me.
Helix is great! The out-of-the-box LSP for C++ is a major strength, no config needed for me compared to 100% of all other editors I've used. The context-aware popups are nice too, and the overall UI is snappy and fresh. Highly recommend if you are a fan of modal editing and willing to try something new.
An important decision was made today. It's fair. Legally perfect. Historical.
Ukraine confirmed its respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Japan, including its Northern territories, which are still under Russian occupation.
Today, I signed the relevant decree. There is a corresponding statement of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. And we call on everyone in the world to make similar decisions.
Russia has no right to these territories. Everyone in the world knows this well. And we must finally act.
We must de-occupy all the lands that the Russian occupiers are trying to keep for themselves.
Its not the same topic (as it is today's address of President of Ukraine), but it does include excerpts from latest presidential decree.
Main link directing to Decree of the President of Ukraine №692/2022 (in Ukrainian), signed today:
> 1. Ukraine confirms its respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Japan, including the Northern Territories, which are still under occupation by the Russian Federation.
> 2. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, in accordance with the Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the Government of Japan on the establishment of diplomatic relations (in the form of an exchange of letters) dated January 26, 1992, in its activities, proceed from the position specified in Article 1 of this Decree. The Northern Territories are an integral part of the sovereign territory of Japan.
Presumably his finished work is for sale and display so naturally it's a bit less likely to see it up online in an easy viewing format. Check some of it out here though:
To answer the question though, yes wildly and objectively talented. Part of why you would want to watch a video is to see how he works, his competence is on full display more so than in the finished product perhaps.
That is because the way he draws is part of fascination with his art. The speed of it, that he does not need guidelines for perspective, that he just goes from top of head.
If you are curious whether drawing is to your liking, you can just skip to the end of the video. Or, google his name and filter for images - the filter is in top bar.
His process is impressive, no sketches or hesitation; he just "prints" whatever was in his mind. The scenes are incredibly detailed, with complex perspectives
He is a master, as he can produce realistic sketches/art, as well as comical adding his own unique flavors to it. He is really a swiss knife. You might not like a type of drawing but he definitely has it all. And his memory, and stream of consciousness sketching is what is superhuman, and they're super detailed massive sprawls of a sketch.
If there was one thing that I thought all HN users had in common it was the appreciation for a tremendous intellectual gift and better yet, doing no evil with it. I guess you proved me wrong.
for me, main thing is turning on the (now native) vim emulation which is decent though missing some things (dot operator please!), and learning the keyboard shortcuts for the various UI panes
for "prettier" all I've ever needed is just auto indentation of a block, which works fine
other than that, I just submit to what Xcode is and live with it
I remember once telling a friend of mine, after I'd spent several years writing Clojure full-time, that upon getting back into writing C++, the feeling was like "sculpting with electricity." There is a strange sense of power you feel from harnessing the language in a creative way, unlike any other language I've used.
It will clear your anxiety, or at least help a little!
