Give hstr a try: https://github.com/dvorka/hstr It's saved me countless hours over the years as it's just so much better than regular CTRL-R. I also find it to work better than fzf.

No that's not the same thing, in fact that'll just do a git rebase, changing the commit itself and all commits after that one. Pretty much the polar opposite of what you want! IntelliJ products try to provide a common interface an

No magic and the same photons, but you can have the hardware sensor read them out differently. Specifically using varying amounts of analog gain / amplification before doing analog-to-digital conversion, minimizing noise. This varies b

I don't often hack my own tools either, but it's great to have the possibility to do so. When you really need that bug fixed for your edge case or platform, it's much easier to submit a patch rather than wait around for someo

Ventura even drops support for the 2016 (Touchbar) Macbook Pros which is frustrating. The machines are certainly powerful enough. But support for Intel Macs will probably be dropped sooner rather than later.

Usually the whole row is copied, updated, and then appended to a different file on disk. After some time a job runs that removes the unused rows by deleting them for good, thus rewriting files and compacting the database. This has lots of a

The version with MX Silent switches is considerably quieter than the standard MX Red version. I'm hoping the Kinesis 360 coming out this year will be even quieter.

FancyZones (part of Microsoft PowerToys) works well for me. I also like the fact that it's first-party, free and open-source: Project page: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys FancyZones docs: https:/&#x2

I wonder why they couldn't go just a bit wider to make it 2880x2880 (1:1 and the same number of pixels as 4K), instead of 2560x2880.

With the Advantage 2 you got 4 extra keycaps in the box: 3 Mac keys and an additional Alt key to replace the Windows one. For the Advantage 360 they're saying 11 additional keycaps in the box. I'm sure one of those is a Windows ke

Regardless of model it's a good idea to put a emergency hammer / glass breaker in your car. (addendum: also to rescue someone else, not blaming the driver)

It absolutely is written down. The issue is that the results you get from modeling systems using queuing theory are often unintuitive and surprising. On top of that it's hard to account for all the seemingly minor implementation detail

To be honest that doesn't sound good at all. No response while you're in an actual emergency and then just "closing the ticket" unless you call again.

You can register domains for >1 year. You'll still need to renew it every year but you'll have a buffer in case something goes wrong.

640KiB is very little and I'm wondering if it's a typo, given that the servers had 1-2TiB available. Postgres 9.0 released in 2010 already had 32MiB as the default for shared_buffers (with a minimum of 128KiB): https://

Banks themselves tell you not to give out their info, so that scenario plays out more often than you think. I've had it happen and they just sent a letter by mail instead.

It's slightly slower with the mirrorless systems because you have to wait until the viewfinder is ready before looking through it. It's fast enough, but the viewfinder is black while the camera is off.

IMHO the issue is getting a genuine one. There are a lot of fake chargers around and even reputable retailers get duped by suppliers. So unless you can buy from Samsung directly, I think Apple is the safer bet. You can walk into any of the
