The key is preparation. It’s the same for me at hotel check-ins. I’m always prepared, I have all my info available in my mobile or on paper, I’ve already thought about the trip several times before and on the way.

Some people seem utterly unprepared. They either don’t have their info at all, or have to login to their web mail, or find some printed paper at the bottom of their enormous suitcase. And then they tend to have tons of questions. I check out the facilities beforehand online so I know what to expect and how to use them.

The problem is, it doesn’t look anything like the system UI either. Just because it is using a native toolkit doesn’t mean it automatically looks good or integrates well.

Not really. There is an “unmaintained” paid plug-in (unmaintained in the sense of not being updated since a year and advertising compatibility with Sublime 2 and 3 only).

In Europe it usually is, until proven otherwise. At least in the first year (and for some classes of problems, longer).

It’s not the only risk. What if OP had fallen asleep while listening to music? Then there would have been a real risk of the house burning down.

It’s also quite ironic because they seem to claim that because their page is full of tracking cookies (what other reason to cite GDPR?).

The Chameleon is another recent stealth-game that has PS1 inspired aesthetics: https://www.merlinogames.com/the-chameleon

You can get them in stainless steel too, e.g. https://www.paperandtea.com/products/p-t-infuser

Here’s an example of how to enable caching in GitHub Actions:

https://gist.github.com/eproxus/d74315864fd6897bb47741e8de5b...

The example is a bit Erlang specific but the cache action it contains is quite generic.

- 'parent' goes to the comment that is replied to

- 'prev' / 'next' goes to the adjacent sibling comments

- 'root' goes to the top level comment in the thread (not the post)

They are very useful on mobile if you're deep in a thread, and want to go to the next top-level thread. To do that, press 'root' and then 'next' (or collapse it with [-]).

It’s a bit unclear, but I read it as that they thought not many people outside the US is aware of the bias inside the US.

I wonder what legal ramifications would be if you run them over while they’re on a pedestrian crossing. They probably wouldn’t count as human at least? Destruction of property?

They will when they're threatened by a gang of police officers.

At least that's better than normal people having to put up with that and pay for it. Now on to solve the next problem with police...

Raycast has this neat feature called Navigation → Search Menu Items which is essentially the Help → Search feature of macOS.

However, you can bind it to any shortcut, so binding it to Cmd+P would give you a command palette in any app (and then you can exclude e.g. Sublime Text/Merge who already have their own palettes).

I’m in the same boat. I’d rather have more views than longer lines. Currently have a file tree, three editor columns and one terminal column.

Keeping to a shorter line width makes me write shorter functions with less nesting. In my opinion that leads to higher quality code which is more readable (your mileage may vary, I write Erlang which is very terse and expressive which fits that style very well).

Nerves (or Erlang’s VM BEAM) is nowhere near small enough to run on ESP32. I think a comparison is not very useful.

If you have an ESP32 you need something like Toit, if you have a Raspberry Pi you might as well run embedded Linux (with Nerves on top).

Here's my version for Windows. It keeps the window buttons and removes the empty space on top.

Actually, that would almost approach some "real" value for NFTs...

Let's say you have digital artwork in a lossless format. You then take the world by storm with the compressed version. Everyone loves it. You sell an NFT with a hash/URI/encoding of the original uncompressed version encrypted so only the owner on the blockchain can decrypt it.

Needlessly to say, this would only work for digital art that is compressible. The owner could perhaps prove that they really own the original by showing a differently compressed version of it.

That's also the beauty of Fast.com, that it uses the Netflix content servers as benchmark and not some ISP edge hosted Speedtest server with special priority.

That gives a more realistic expectation of how Netflix, and in this case Apple downloads, will actually perform. And it can't be artificially boosted by the ISP.

That being said, I assume both Netflix and Apple have very special CDNs with ISP co-located content servers in many cases so it is still not a realistic measurement of generic Internet performance (but Speedtest is even worse, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

I do the same nowadays. I spend extra time learning the defaults (muscle memory etc.) in my OS and programs, which is about the same effort as customizing them (if not less).

The difference is that when setting up a new environment it costs nothing. If I had tons of tweaks and custom scripts that would be a setup cost every time.

I always remember glxgears running at hundreds of FPS and it being used as a poor man’s benchmark. Perhaps this has changed of late though…

Sublime Text has a Distraction Free Mode which goes to full screen, removes all GUI and centers the buffer contents on the screen.

It’ll use your buffer settings so if you’ve configured Markdown to only be 60 characters wide, it’ll look like the photo in the article.

Giant app developers do complain about it (see the ad tracking debacle). That hasn’t stopped Apple in the past.

Is there a way to force apps or links to open in the current tab group?

I often find myself clicking links from apps (e.g. Slack), then keep working and loading project related sites. After a while I suddenly have 12 tabs open in the default tab group that all should have been in the project tab group.

It’s not very visible which group you’re currently in. When it switches group from under your feet I often miss that and keep thinking I’m in the old group.

You could even swap the key bindings to make it the default, by going to System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts → App Shortcuts.

I do this to swap the shortcuts Reply and Reply All in Mail.app as well, so that I always reply everyone when pressing ⌘R.

I work on GRiSP. It’s really close to being done. We’re wrapping up the software (e.g. updating drivers for the new platform) and are doing a lot of testing at the moment.

We are using the first boards from the final batch for this, and I really hope we can start shipping soon.

I don’t know if it’s related but the weather app on iOS frequently takes minutes to update the weather for my location even when looking directly at the app. It’s incredibly annoying and has led me to believe the weather was going to be completely different more than once.

I used to do this with my keys every time I traveled to the UK and forgot my adapters.

Another great alternative is HiFiBerry which produce their own DACs and cases that you can add a Raspberry Pi to.

Personally I have a RPi4 with the DAC2 HD and a steel case which I’m very happy with.

I think you can run Volumio on these too, but I prefer the simpler HiFiBerry OS distribution. You get AirPlay 2, Spotify and many more ways to play music. All connected to your analog hi-if equipment.

I don’t see these buttons in Germany unfortunately.
