A few weeks after introducing the Beelink EQ14 mini PC with an Intel N150 processor, Beelink has launched another model with the same chip. The Beelink S13 is another compact computer with Intel’s low-power quad-core processor. But while the EQ14 has an integrated power supply and two Ethernet ports, the S13 uses an external power adapter […]

I drive a Tesla Model Y, the best car I've ever owned. I wish Elon Musk wasn't associated with it. If there were a good alternative to the Tesla, I would divest in a minute. I could afford to do it and would welcome the opportunity.

Matchup in Neovim for Go templates

date: 2024-12-07, from: Miek Giebin blog

After dealing with Go templates (also HTML templates) for more than a year and keep loosing track of where each block {{ends}} I finally did something about it. But that didn’t work that good. So I’ve switch to the match-up plugin, which is better than the built-in matchit that I was using previously. With Neovim I’m using this setup: Plug 'andymass/vim-matchup' And this extra bit of config: require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup { matchup = { enable = true, }, } This in itself does not make template completion work, for this I just copied the Hugo template completion (which is just like Go templating) to the correct place.
