I'd be willing to bet that the majority of results you find in that search will be men talking about how much women care about money... of course some women do, but far far from all of them

Beneath the large obvious green 'Subscribe' button there is some low-contrast grey text ('Continue reading') that, when clicked, hides the box. This is on Substack's side, not the author of the article.

I did this initially, but I believe it didn't work for all applications - some were still registering it as Caps Lock (e.g. VS Code IIRC).

Workman [0] was designed to be used on an ortho keyboard, though it is also usable on a normal keyboard. I suppose it's tricky to design for many modern features as they are not yet standardised between keyboards. [0] https:/&#x2

I use Colemak-DH (modified version of Colemak that has less lateral hand motion - found I was getting slight wrist strain with normal Colemak). I find it more comfortable than Qwerty. I have not had any issue with keyboard shortcuts - Ctrl-

Ah I see. So non-kernel packages do not have access to native modules at all? I believe in Elm native modules were still possible, just not publishing them to the package database. But in this case I guess you wouldn't be able to put a

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that code seemingly only applies to kernel packages, i.e. packages which are made by the gren team [1] Seems more like a check to make sure the version of the JS is compatible with the version of gren than

Presumably it came from Latin 'puppis' (aft, stern, poop deck) before the passing through French to English.

- Fuzzy file search - I can't find a way to do this in nano? Where you can search a whole directory by name for the file you want to open. This is very useful in larger projects when you need to jump about a lot. - LSP and all its uses

I like this a lot. This is built upon Vosk [0], open source voice recognition. I must try it for some of my own projects! [0] https://alphacephei.com/vosk/

It looks like they have a word (or multiple) for each letter of the alphabet. So CD is "change drum", git clone is " guest ice traps space cap look [Ctrl right - autocomplete]", where you can read the commands from the f

Looks pretty. I can't scroll on the gallery page on mobile, and tapping anywhere on the page (including the top example) just brings up the navigation menu. Switching to desktop mode works.

I use Colemak DH, and have done for a few years. I could never touch type very well on QWERTY anyway so using QWERTY I am no slower than I was originally (in fact, I'm probably faster, since I now use my fingers properly). As long as i

For the last point, you can wrap the object in parens: let generatePerson = name => ({ name, id: generateId() })

I wouldn't really call Orcish / Dwarvish 'full languages' - they aren't developed that much. However, the two major Elvish languages (Quenya and Sindarin) are both a lot fuller.

Related to [1] - since Toki Pona has such a limited set of sounds, it seems like it would be a great fit for stenography... [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29035644

CamelCase is built in to Plover! [1] symbols work too - they might have less intuitive memorisation, but you don't use that many anyway (unless you're in APL...but that doesn't work with normal keyboards either). You can set

I haven't tried it, but there is a list of available dictionaries in Plover format [1] including French, Spanish and Italian. As to switching on the fly, I can't see anything in the docs about it - this extension might work? [2] [

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I can come up with any non-contrived example (maybe this [1]). I guess what's good is that it fits right into the rest of Vim very nicely, so I can just edit like normal, instead of fiddling
