I've been using a Vim clone of Magit for a while with good success: https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit Not being an eMacs user, I'm not familiar with the feature differences, but the workflow of stage/c

I have vivid memories of the demos at Incredible Universe, including an early-stage VR setup. It's also the place I was able to try out crappy consoles like the Atari Jaguar and the 3DO Interactive.

I figured I'd see Quinn's name mentioned in the comments. He had a good Twitter thread a bit ago about the easiest things you can do to lower your bill: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1091041507342086144.h

Happy Metropolitan user here too. I bought a couple other inexpensive fountain pens to try them out (Lamy Safari, Pilot Prera Iro-Ai), but I came back to the Metropolitan. The weight and writing-smoothness are outstanding considering how ch

I use uBlock Origin in advanced mode, which lets you do something similar. Haven't used it extensively, but blocking the following domains sped things up a little: - hangouts.google.com - plus.google.com - play.google.com

Yes. He can put actions behind his words, or his reply is just hot air. Plus, by endorsing it as a Google-sanctioned event, he's effectively taking power away from those walking out from disrupting normal business as usual (e.g., allow

You can choose to either vote by mailing your ballot back in the provided, pre-paid envelope, or dropping it off. I usually end up waiting until the last minute and then driving to a nearby public library to drop it off.

Coincidently, 1998 was the first year I could vote, and the first year of vote by mail in Oregon. It's made it super-easy to vote, and I honestly have no idea why other states haven't adopted it across the board.

Ah, that's the kicker. Looks great on my MBP's built-in retina display, but crap on my older external monitors. So far the only font I've been able to use on those without anti-aliasing is Monaco.

Can you detail your Mac setup a bit? I've tried out these fonts, but end up struggling to get the right size, and disabling antialiasing makes things look pretty ugly.

Andy's the best thing about Headspace. His voice is encouraging without being judgmental. Definitely one of the main reasons I decided to purchase a subscription.

Yet. There's a pull request in the works that would do just that: https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements/pull/247 You could build from the latest update and get that functionality.

That's kind of a deal-breaker for me. I rely on shortcuts with a virtual hyper key that it would be painful to lose it.
