I wrote a three-part Jupyter series and still didn’t really get it until someone reframed it as discovery vs. execution — not “another IDE you use alongside VS Code,” but the step before VS Code when you don’t know what the code should be yet.
Updated Part 1 with that mental model.
Fresh Kubuntu install, a handful of common apps — and snapd alone is already ~6 GB. That’s the part that gets me: Ubuntu inside Ubuntu, just to run software that could be installed and run like any normal package. The disk space isn’t the real complaint. It’s the overhead, and the fact that this is the default on what’s supposed to be a mainstream desktop OS. Sure, I can fix it. I can pin apt…
If you install Mattermost on Manjaro via pacman/AUR — not Snap; the Snap build does not hit this — do not enable “Start app on login” in Mattermost’s own settings. Turn that off. Keep “Launch minimized” and “Show icon in tray”. Then add Mattermost to autostart manually from Manjaro/KDE system settings (Session and Startup → Autostart). Why: a years-old bug, still open. Mattermost’s built-in autostart writes…
Dear NX, are you going to update to Angular 22? I’m waiting!
You may do apt dist-upgrade or yay or pacman -Syu everyday, but do you nvm install --reinstall-packages-from=current 'lts/*' too?

oops.
SpaceX locks in a $60 billion deal to buy Cursor (Anysphere). Someone call Elon Musk and tell him not to fuck it up — I only just got used to it.

Switching from GitLens to Git Blame and Git Graph was the right call; I was just keeping some bloatware out of habit.
Spent way too long debugging a “broken CLI tool” in Cursor… Turned out it wasn’t broken — it was Snap. Wrapper-based installs (like Snap) can quietly change how CLI tools behave inside IDE agents and scripts. Switched to a native package. Problem disappeared instantly.
Now that React is no longer under Meta and it’s “The React Foundation”, I think I should keep an eye on it next to Angular. No.
Prettier fixed the compatibility issue with Cursor.
This is a known issue with Prettier v12+. Cursor didn’t support ESM extensions until recently. The fix is already included in version 2.4

You wouldn’t build a React app just to crop a few images. You’d open an image editor.
Jupyter is the image editor of programming — interactive, immediate, disposable. Understand first. Build in your IDE later.
Just discovered Jupyter while browsing the most popular VS Code extensions. Read up on what it is and how people use it — and now I feel like half the successful folks out there have been quietly running a handy tool this whole time while keeping it hidden from me.
Manjaro 25.1 “Anh-Linh” just breathed new life into my ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 (Ultra 9 + RTX 3050 + Intel Arc) — battery now lasts noticeably longer and games run way smoother, all with zero extra tweaking. Everything finally feels right out of the box. Massive props to the Manjaro team for this release. The hybrid Intel + NVIDIA setup on my laptop finally behaves the way it always should have, without me fighting…
