Thanks! Interesting to read the rationale behind it [0] which in short is, try not to use what is basically a terminal emulator within a terminal emulator, and window management should be done by the terminal emulator. I primarily use tmux

Like Maildir? Many mail clients support that format already.

In a similar vain, I currently enjoy reading A Philosophy of Walking by Frederic Gros. Gros draws the musing of various philosophers on walking. To me, his description of the slow beat of the footstep that propels imagination resonates with

It seems those were drawn by Barbara Remington [1] who didn't have time to read the books before making her illustrations. Apparently, the Lord of the Rings was in public domain in the US for a short while, so the publisher (and Tolkie

That is on the main branch. Behind the scenes [1] they're working a a huge rewrite to use the Bevy engine. A big effort that seems to be moving at a quite constant pace. It seems they're doing it quite rigourously: I've seen

So far, my thumb has been worse of now that I'm back to the pattern swipe unlock.

You're right that I maybe phrased it too harsh, the repairability _is_ a great feature. And of course, they do more by checking supply chains for some of the parts. The thing is, if your part is not available, you're stuck with th

As Fairphone owner I have become somewhat sceptical of their repairability claim. Mine fell on its side on some pebble stones. The power-button, unprotected by the case, got scratched. The button doubles as a fingerprint reader, which cease

This is a great project: the code is super neat and the write-up very clear. I like the sousveillance aspect of it! For a project I needed a low-latency RTSP stream as well. When reading a video stream with OpenCV, the default video buffer

Zed has built in REPL for several languages, which does have image preview [0] It uses the Jupytext format [1], for Python at least. Which frankly, is much more friendly to VCS than notebooks. I agree on the 'format on save' as un

I've been doing this for some time now and it indeed makes editing text in vim easy. Just `dd` and `p`. And as the article mentions, diffing is much cleaner. There's a caveat however, if you comment a line (to keep the thought, bu

As a Colemak (DH) user for ~5 years, I share these experiences. I did a monkeytype benchmark before switching, and I still barely hit the same numbers, so it's certainly not a magic fix for more typing speed. What is left then is the a

While being an avid Debian user on both server and desktop, I had never heard of the Extrepo[0] package mentioned in the article. It would be great if the repositories included in there would suggest this way of adding their repo. While it

Adding to the list of 'this is what I am using', I have switched both terminal and code editor to Maple Mono[1]. Which, looking at TFA, seems to be somewhat similar in spirit as Atkinson Hyperlegible, although I haven't used

What is particularly striking about the scandal is the impact of the mini-series. From what I understand (as a foreigner to the UK) is that it was the mini-series that sparked national interest in the case. Without it, those involved would

Wow, that book sounds like a mix of Johan Harstad's footnote riddled Forsaken/The Red Handler (and who's Max, Mischa & Tetoffensiven even is about 'idling') and George Perec's An Attempt at Exhausting a Pla

Last week I looked into such simplification/decimation algorithms to simplify lines sent to a showlaser projector. Turns out there is a whole bunch of different algorithms for decimation, each with different trade-offs. It might be int

Not sure it's precise enough though. In 2018, many clocks in Europe were off because the frequency on the net had drifted due to (as I understood it) the network being out of sync across various countries. Some here might actually unde

The Physical Rhythm Machine Boem Boem [1] is a performance/sound installation that actually comes quite close to being a physical equivalent of this idea. Not self adjustable of course, but the sound of the balls banging around is high

This map makes me think of the New Inquiry's White Collar Crime map [1]. That project creates a strong image which for me disrupts the stereotype of what crime looks like and where we can find it. I realize it has a very different aim

A similar story unfolded at my university? [1,2]. Initially deployed as "scanners" instead of cameras. Similar to this story at Northeastern the board argued they needed to be able to assess room occupancy. With the cameras now di

For those interested in playing around with something similar: it looks like a sort of large scale implementation of Sam Lavigne's Videogrep[1]. [1]: http://antiboredom.github.io/videogrep/

I'll be starting a PhD soon and would love to use a pandoc-based workflow (with MD or another format) for the gross of my writing. How did you all structure the commenting on your writing? I find converting to odt/doc before sendi

Wait, is this a real company? What employment agency (sort of) promotes their service by showing how easy it is to ditch their workers and visualises that by shooting them down?! [1] If it is not a parody, macabre doesn't even capture

Impressive visualisation. Seems to be an extrusion of the Kadaster (government) building data towards the maximum height of the structure. Much more precise data is also also available: there are height maps of NL with a resolution of 5 poi

To add to that, I guess the intent of the writers is explained by the following: > We expect that more research will appear in the coming years that has similar biases, oversights, and false claims to scientific objectivity in order to “
