I came to say the same thing. The "build together" mode is super fun. Everybody can go at their own speed (without me dying inside watching my 7-year-old trying to figure out things). If you are faster, you build more subassemblies, that's it. Everybody is busy.

The kids particularly enjoyed the moments where you have to exchange subassemblies: "I need this from 'popcorn'!" "I need this from 'astronaut'".

When the kids got tired, subsequent steps were assigned to me as if nothing had happened. I am guessing there's a DAG of tasks (to build subassemblies), and the tasks just get picked up by individual participants.

This. It was shockingly bad. Non-"live" translations are much better.

It's exciting for the future, though!

Yeah, I tried on an Intel MBP years ago when it was first launched. It was super slow, and I disregarded it. I just gave it a try on an M4 Pro; it's not instantaneous like Vimmium, but it is usable. I am sold!

Their home page is underselling how cool this is:

MVG did a great overview of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5twUkvYFpA

That should not be required if the Ethernet adapter has a higher priority. That being said, you might different reason.

Why as an adult you would play Pokemon

Oh, I don't want to play Pokémon games, but every few hours, I am given the controller and told to beat the boss with a team composed of 6 low-level Pikachus and zero healing items.

It (partially) works, but only if the cursor is NOT hovering over the right portion of the window. So only 30% works.

The most puzzling part is why someone would run Windows 98 on a machine built around 2002/2003 (according to the specs).

100% I used to have a 43-inch 4K "monitor" (16:9). The lack of curvature meant that at the sides of the screen, there was noticeable color shifting due to variations in viewing angle. That's with an IPS panel.

Your dream is probably a ~50in 8K TV (with RGB pattern if you are on macOS), but curved. I don't know if that will ever exist.

Personally, I found that with a bigger 16:9, I would not use the top and bottom of the screen. When I "downgraded" to a 40in ultra-wide, there was not much difference in the space I was using.

I have a 40in 5k (32in 4k, but wider). IMHO, 138ppi is the bare minimum, but it really depends on a person's eyesight and preferences.

I would love a large-ish ultra-wide with > 160ppi. One day, maybe, that being said, by that time those things will exist and be reasonably priced, my eyes might not be able to appreciate the difference.

Yes, I thought the same thing.

My son loves Lego Mario and the app. He'll even go through the building instructions of kits he doesn't have just to see how they are built. The instructions in the app are super clear, animated, and the model can be rotated at any step to check whether the real-life model is correctly built.

Going back to paper instructions after using the app is a pain.

For me, on macOS, the main thing is that the subpixel layout is rarely the classic RGB (side by side) that macOS only supports for text antialiasing.

If I were to use a TV, it would be an OLED. That being said, the subpixel layout is not great: https://pcmonitors.info/articles/qd-oled-and-woled-fringing-...

It is possible to self-host it on GCS, S3, etc. We used to pay for their cloud offering, but using GCS as a backend was much more performant than using their backend and extremely cheap (a few cents to dollars per month).

In Emacs, there is [helm-ag-edit](https://github.com/emacsorphanage/helm-ag) (but uses ripgrep if present). It's almost identical to your workflow, but all done inside the same app.

1. helm-ag <pattern> # the search results are updated as you type 2. helm-ag-edit # edit the search result as regular text. Use multi-cursors, macros, whatever. 3. helm-ag-edit-save # commits the changes to the affected files

All those commands have keybindings, so it's pretty fast. I'll often open up Emacs just to do that and then go back to my JetBrains IDE.

Yes, I have used a similar Hammerspoon script for nearly 10 years.

+1 I've been using this for almost ten years. It's straightforward, easy to add files, and there are no symlinks to deal with.

When people ask me which tool I use to manage my dotfiles, I tell them about this little-known tool called `git`. ;)

Side note: I use an shell alias instead, but it's pretty much the same.

`alias home="git --work-tree=$HOME --git-dir=$HOME/.files.git"`

Don't kid yourself, Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about!

If you enable PC Remote Function [1] it disables UMS so you don't need another cable/adapter plugged in. I notified the author and he updated the article.

I'll plug your (awesome) blog for you:

Which points to https://xi-editor.io/docs/rope_science_00.html

Might be a bit too much, but depending on their autonomy level, if they grant you Power of Attorney (PoA), you can do manage everything without involving any technical solution.

Technical solution wise, sharing credentials via 1password or bitwarden is probably the most straightforward approach IMHO.

My concern with this keyboard and others without F keys would be how awkward some IntelliJ keyboard shortcuts would be

e.g: LayerX + cmd + shift + 9 to rebuild a file. There are much worse offenders I am sure.

Is there anything remotely close to this for macOS?

I always assumed those were the result of my cycling backpack putting too much pressure on the screen. It's basically bow-like structure to keep the bag off my back.

I do have my MacBooks cooking themselves in my backpack every so often too.

Basically, every MacBook's I had in the past > 10 years ended with that issue.

Mystery solved!

I had 2x 173P back then. Even to this day, the build quality and design is amazing. The panel not so much, but hey, it was 2004.

Alternatively, they can live together.

For example, I ended up writing this to integrate diagrams and Sphinx. https://github.com/j-martin/sphinx-diagrams

Similarly there's https://pypi.org/project/sphinxcontrib-plantuml/ and https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/ (among other similar tools).

Same thing with Slack. I like the idea of open hours.

Also, you might end up with a bunch of industrial engineers who may not code (yet).
