wait, is this a thing? firefox is the only mainstream browser with an rcfile, that alone gives you incredible powers. I hope one day it also grows something like chrome's CDP. What is everyone so upset about?

TUIs work where I do. I don't want to juggle another window unless I need to. Tmux gives me better ways of organizing my work than most display managers. Most of the useful things I do end up calling other shell commands, and it's

Agreed. "Code was never the hard part" is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Making something work, has always been easier than making something someone can read. AIs also, seem to benefit from clean abstractions, appropriate

This is the future I want. I will keep fighting for it. But my braveheart pinephone is showing it's age. And I need it to be dependable for pagerduty etc, or else have some other alerts proxy capable of waking me up in the dead of ni

I agree with this article, but it's so much more than just trust in a workflow. It's an API you can trust, in an ocean of change. That's what you're choosing; an api, abi... whatever you call it. You're committing t

This is the nerdiest thing I've ever seen, and I absolutely adore it.

This is really smart. It’s low friction. It’s a drag to need two devices, but it is a low compromise bridge to building up something like a pinephone/pinebook’s ecosystem without needing to keep swapping your sim card.

Without a horse in this race, this precedent makes me deeply uncomfortable.

Lol, I don’t think so, at least not outside branding and corporate circles. It can still be endearing to have quirks, but I think there is still value in awareness of yourself and your patterns.

This is true in any relationship. The goal is not “winning”, but making sure everyone’s needs are met.

Fun fact - you already have them. The gnu project made ‘info’ pages decades ago to solve exactly this problem. It never caught on outside of the gnu project though, sadly.

It doesn’t have to be 17 years old though. I think the point he’s making is that it’s still solving problems for him. I have one that’s 12 years old. It just does what I need to. Parts are easily replaceable. I keep doing the cost/bene

I would wish that they would also: - Listen to their team. Issues arise, complexity may be higher than appears. Being receptive to reality and not being obstinate. - Manage priorities, when there is too much to do everything, so progress ca

This resonates so strongly with me. I worked a job where I needed to use outdated Microsoft toolchains to build plugins for software, and the documentation was just -- gone. Good luck. I've been almost compulsively saving the things th

This is interesting. I don’t find that she’s hating on the tool at all - I think she’s frustrated by negative interactions that sap her energy, has taken note of that, and is explaining her absence. I both agree and disagree with some of th

I still appreciate the precision of being able to explicitly describe what I want to type. I also appreciate that this is all running on your machine.

Talon is such an exceptional piece of software. I’ve donated to the project for a few years now. I’m so grateful software like this exists, that it’s cross platform, and that it’s extremely customizable.

Learning and Retention. I find that I learn best if I learn a subject comprehensively. Taking notes in a mediawiki instance I've kept up for a decade forces me to explain what I've learned, helps with retention, identifying what I

This resonates with me on multiple levels. I do feel even when scoping large projects that it is difficult to hold on to all of the pieces. I split it into chunks I can reason about and then (sometimes fearfully) return to the bigger pictur

Relatable, years after a career change I’m still hoarding nice sketchpads and watercolour paper because anything you do with them has to live up to the material.
