I've made a similar library called bash-term[1], which is similar, but only has functions for lower-level operations, like moving the cursor to the end of the line, etc. It's also cleaner and has almost no global variables. [1] h

Glad I could help! It's too bad that my HN post didn't take off.

Oh, so _this_ is why I've been getting so many hits... I was the original creator and the original post[1] was from a day ago. Glad to see it is helpful! [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35940043

Ctrl+K is often used to perform any kind of action. On Discord, Slack, GitHub, etc. let you perform any action with this hotkey. It's also a generic search, as website searches implemented with Algolia use this by default. Ctrl+/

This is the kind of stuff I describe in my semantic hotkeys[1] piece. There isn't a really good way to define hotkeys for web apps across websites. In lieu of a browser spec (for now), or a non-normative recommendation, there needs to

I'd say bashrc and profile and friends are one of the few examples in which using hardcoded paths is OK. Same with SSH, GPG, and PAM. But when people are talking about compliance, and hardcoding very few people are talking about those

What are you talking about? When people say the "XDG spec", they are usually referring to the XDG Base Directory Specification, but there are other specifications from XDG - are you talking about a different one? Because the XDG B

yes - not all Linux distros do this

by hyperupcall 4y ago
This is excellent! Over the years, I've been pleased to see that more and more distributions are writing their disk images and the like to the ESP. (Previously, dd'd USB images for distro installing _required_ the creation of a &#

Thank you - this is a basic prerequisite for any productivity app imo

That sounds amazing - there are some similarities with Amie, but customizable views is something I'm looking forward to try out Thank you - it's quite unfortunate that there isn't a "free plan"

Just signed up and it seems it is not possible to use this on Linux. Disappointing... Is Linux support planned?
16.
by hyperupcall 4y ago
This tool looks quite similar to Amie.so - which I use in conjunction with Todoist - do you have any major differentiating features? It seems like mainly there are more integrations It seems unfortunate that the free plan is really just a 7

Hey Ced!! Woahhh, I didn't know this project is sorta its own OS - that's epic It's pretty cool to see projects like this, Sinerider, and the like being developed, even if I am on the sidelines haha

Safari heavily nerfs PWAs, making their use more questionable. It's possible that they also need more access to the underlying computer.

Thanks, that is quite unfortunate

Cool I see - I override cd, but now I'm pondering if I should change approach. But I guess what I was really asking is how you do it in non-interactive mode?

I'm not sure how you can seriously advocate for ditching 'dd' by calling it "obscure"

Thank you for sharing - I've written my own "version" of asdf in Bash too, and I'm getting to the point where I would like to write some portions in Rust. Does qwer support per-directory, local versions of plugins? I&#x2

What sort of compatibility issues exist with pyenv and poetry? Curious as I've never mixed the two...

Hmm, yeah I saw that one. Still don't think the motivation is super strong

by hyperupcall 4y ago
Yeah I sympathize with you - my goal is for the Linux community to use a system - that is, a well-defined one, not one born arbitrarily out of the (`if (name[0] == ".") file_hidden = true;` code that has since metastasized into an

If you read the parent comment, then you would know that I'm correcting the claim that not using XDG Base Dir Spec is the de-facto standard. It's not, so I'm simply stating that

I asked for an exact phrasing, not for an explanation, because I have already written exactly that under the "Should I do this on macOS?" heading...
28.
by hyperupcall 4y ago
Hmm, that's why I said inherent? Because as you mentioned there is a separate macOS directory structure and the system utilities don't follow the specification. Also, the specification is only written for Linux in mind, which is w

no I think you're right, that was a typo

by hyperupcall 4y ago
Mainly because it's easier to get people on board when we're keeping a few of the super core dotfiles, especially since those are kind of impossible to change - they are hard coded literally everywhere Admittedly, the ~/.bash
