I had the same issue specifically with git, for the same reason. You can configure git to not use a pager by setting core.pager to an empty string.

After experiencing Nintype on iOS many years ago, I can't use any other swipe keyboard anymore. I'm stuck using the stock keyboard for typing, and sometimes (rarely) swiping a word or two when I din't have two hands available. Swiping (with one finger) when holding my phone with both hands just feels unnatural and sluggish. I wish Apple had just bought/sherlocked Nintype and integrated it into the stock keyboard.

Unrelated to the main point, and probably too late to matter, but you can access repo activity logs via Github's API. I had to clean up a bad push before and was able to find the old commit hash in the logs, then reset the branch to that commit, similarly to how you'd fix local messes using reflog.

Sadly, it hasn't been updated since 2024 and is slowly breaking. Haven't found a good replacement yet.

For anyone else copy pasting the gradients into dev tools to look at them: The second one is missing the # sign on the first color.

And yes, both oklch gradients look pretty weird while the oklab gradient looks nice (if you can accept it going through grey).

Cool setup, but the choice of Obsidian is kind of weird in this context (in an interesting way, see next paragraph). Instead of opening a subfolder of the Hugo project in Obsidian, one could just open the entire thing in VSCode or a similar IDE, enjoy a good markdown editing experience, AND use git integration and the integrated terminal (and possibly set up automated tasks) to run your local testing and deployment workflows.

Note that Obsidian's markdown editing experience is _different_ from (but not necessarily better or worse than) what you'd get in a typical IDE. So while the choice seems weird to me, it absolutely makes sense if the author prefers the feature set that Obsidian offers. Being supported by so many different editors is one of markdown's strengths, after all, and this kind of editor-portability fits right in with the other parts of "Fully Owned" from the blog post.

That might be because Kagi currently has "only" 43,508 members, according to their live stats. That number might be too low for you to be able to expect someone in your personal circle to already be using and talking about it. The number being this low isn't a bad thing, though. Kagi is already profitable and the number is growing, that's all that matters for now. There's a free tier that gets you 100 free searches (I'm testing it myself right now, haven't used it enough to really have an opinion on it yet).

Regarding your point b: Heavily disagree. Even ignoring HN's seeming love for Kagi, surely you must have noticed the narrative about how AI is fixing search? People asking ChatGPT or Bing instead of googling things? Why would they do that if they were satisfied with Google? Also, Google search quality worsening has been a common news headline for years now.

By only doing clones to get data from Github, you're losing anything stored in LFS. Run `git lfs fetch --all` inside each repo after cloning to make sure you have the large files, too.

CC-BY-SA is a perpetual license, so the author can't just decide that they don't want StackOverflow to have access to the content anymore.

What's creeping me out is that there's zero mention of how the nano-texture display affects pencil use.

The nano-texture on the standalone display Apple offered a while back was very fragile (if I remember correctly)... I would imagine touching it, let alone dragging a pencil across it, could very quickly leave visible scratches?

If not - will this wear through Apple Pencil tips like they're made of rubber?

In addition to the already mentioned Command Palette, macro expansion is also available as a quick fix, either by clicking the light bulb icon when it appears, or triggering it via hotkey (Ctrl+. by default).

I forgot what people were calling it but this is almost exactly the same idea as that trend where you ask ChatGPT to generate pictures, continuously asking for "more" of some aspect of the picture (make this dish more spicy, etc), only hidden by the fact that instead of simply asking it to make the code more complex, they're naming specific (but in the end, arbitrary) steps of what ChatGPT would still interpret as escalation.

To me, pausing to reflect is less of a problem compared to getting distracted and losing my place or having to read the same paragraph over and over again. Back when I had a 40+ minute train commute (and was working in the office all week, pre-pandemic), I used to listen to audiobooks on 1.5-3x, while also reading the actual book at the same time. That worked wonders for me, and it's easy enough to pause an audio book with headset controls to reflect on something.

Same here. I get irritated when I see people put down their phone without locking it, only to realize theirs will auto-lock.

That said, from now on I'll probably have auto-lock turned on when flying.

How does Obsidian's text editing experience compare to VSCode? I'm using VSC for everything at the moment, which includes a workspace roughly structured into GTD categories via subfolders, filled with markdown documents. The only thing that keeps me curious about Obsidian is the note linking/network visualization and features related to that. But I'm so used to having dev tool levels of text editing available in VSC that I can't bring myself to try switching Obsidian.

I just placed digits in the middle of the words instead of replacing them. This way I didn't "break" any overlapping words, and the order of digits is still the same.

I know this is getting off-topic, but as a non-native speaker, I'm interested in hearing how a third data point would be needed to judge whether things differ "by an order of magnitude". I was under the impression that "an order of magnitude" meant "one more digit", meaning very roughly a 10x difference. "a >= 10*b" can be determined without the need of a third data point. Is there some other meaning to the phrase I haven't come across?

Here's what I do when I need to go to a Bürgeramt: For every type of appointment you can make, there should be an official website containing links to each Bürgeramt's calendar page. Bookmark that website, not the individual pages. Find one or a few locations you'd prefer, then open each calendar in a separate browser! Opening multiple in one browser doesn't work, as it remembers your last selection per browser session. Next, keep refreshing and checking the calendars every 30 minutes. Slots free up pretty often, but they're also full again soon after. If you're lucky, you can figure out when canceled appointments are entered into the system for your location (for mine it was 10AM every day). Around that time, there's a good chance you might even get a few slots that are only a week or two into the future. Once you figured out when slots open up, check around that time daily. Book the first slot you can get, then keep doing this for a few days and book any slot that is better than your previous one (but be nice and cancel the old slot).

It's a lot of work, and it shouldn't be necessary, but I'd never go into a Bürgeramt without an appointment and this method has worked for me every time so far.

Nintype has ruined all other swipe keyboards for me. Why nobody else has picked up on the idea of twohanded swiping the way Nintype did it is a mystery. Even now, 5+ years after last using it, I find myself wanting to type the way Nintype would let me, only to be disappointed.

The reason I don't use wired headphones is that I'd need an adapter for them to work with my iphone. I used to use those adapters (both from Apple and aftermarket ones), but they would last two months at max, sometimes even just around 2-3 weeks. Since I wear headphones at work any time I'm not in a meeting, and my phone is always in my pocket (with half of the adapter hanging out), after around two months, the adapter dies from the strain on the cable. Adapters that lasted less long seemingly didn't die to physical damage, but insteadto static charges, just from me moving (and I work a desk job, so not much extreme movements). Could that be my clothes? Sure, but am I really going to change my wardrobe just so I can use some stupid adapter?

Since getting airpod pros, I've fallen in love with their anc, so that's one more reason for me to stay wireless (never heard of any wired anc headphones).

I'm a big fan of https://soulver.app/ as a mobile app (not a heavy Mac user, but if I was, I'd get the Mac version too). Sadly it's not available on Windows at all, and the mobile version is currently not on the App Store either (they're working on a major update and apparently you can still get the old one via TestFlight, but I just kept the old one installed on my phone).

This app looks like a great alternative! I will definitely be checking it out.

This seems aggressively overpriced for what looks like a very simple GUI on top of sqlite?

You might enjoy "There Is No Antimemetics Division", a story (told in a series of short stories) about the idea of "Antimemes" (if memes are ideas that spread like viruses and can't be forgotten, antimemes are the opposite, they're not invisible but you can't remember them).

Aren't both MAK and KMS keys for volume licenses, ie not relevant to consumers? Any end user trying to use a KMS or MAK key got scammed by whoever sold that key to them...

Half of a book is still under copyright of the whole thing

But what was described isn't "half of a recording". Imagine the "publish to extend copyright" applied to books too - would publishing the book with half the text blacked out still extend the original book's copyright?

That's just my naive take on it (i know nothing about copyright law). Your movie music argument might already be enough to show that I'm incorrect.
