The author, Mark Sibly, sadly passed away late-2024. But what a legacy he leaves behind.

So it wasn't a dream!

I'm really happy to have found this, and Happy World Emoji Day.

After putting a lot of thought into this, I've ended up making my own dual pane file manager. Oops!

You don't land in Thrust ;)

Love this!

Thanks for responding! It is hard to strike the right balance; I wouldn't want to be a writer :)

What happened in Q2 2017 and the second half of 2018?

Their assertion that cURL is used to fetch the web page you're reading seems...misplaced. Browsers almost certainly do not use libcurl to fetch web pages. Though I do agree that libcurl is ubiquitous.

I have no idea what things are called but somebody showed me how they could start a bunch of subagents and steer each with additional messages; some closed after their task was completed, but one stayed open for followups and continued working after being prompted by the main agent who was acting as triage.

I appreciate them! Keep at it :)

There are many ways to translate it "66% Seduction", "66%'ll do" etc. But debating the translation misses 66% of the point that it's just a fun fact ;)

Reminds me of the Meat Loaf song “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” which was released in Japan as 66%の誘惑 “66% is Good Enough” etc https://www.discogs.com/release/8303076

You can also paste whatever file path is on the clipboard into a file dialog to instantly go to that path.

I think it's more people would rather built their own opinionated file manager than explore or understand how much Finder can really do. This app does a tiny fraction of what Finder can do and has been able to do for decades.

I like many of the ideas in this app, but IMHO it does not yet look like a macOS app: eg. strange blue focus outlines to denote active state, which on my system are larger vertically than the button they contain but not horizontally which results in a very untidy display, some buttons are smaller than the required/recommended minimum size. Some other things I've noticed, compared to Finder: far less items in the same vertical space, different keyboard shortcuts for same feature makes migration difficult.

My favourite Finder-likes: Nimble Commander, Marta

I assume this just uses standard system API, so spotlight or mdfind.

There's an app called Hazel that does your stack sorting. And you can get paths (copy file populates pasteboard with multiple forms, one of which is the file path) and paste paths easily (I use keyboard shortcut but it's also on the context menu). You can paste paths into goto box or even into file selector to instantly change the directory to the location of the file and select it. There are so many "hidden" things like this throughout macOS that it's worth asking before giving up hope that something might not be possible.

FWIW I've seen subagents remain open for followups on latest Claude.

Super Runrabout was one I remember that ran in Win CE

I've used jscpd, it does "non-exact code duplication" (regardless of what its readme says) which is why I asked how Slopo compares. I'm surprised you've not tried the competition!

The thing in the middle seems to be described as a "platform accessory"

How does it compare to jscpd? https://github.com/kucherenko/jscpd

That's mentioned in the article

In some parts of the world it was already tomorrow when they made the announcement.

Unless you imported the PC Engine version, which was Pomping World :) but, yeah, it's called Pang. Except on Wikipedia or Moby Games.

Right, but a single link is not enough as there are many off-shoots on the thread (it's not linear); other Google employs chime in and all sorts of other info.

Love that chart! It could also apply almost exactly to the "Buster Bros." artocle (everybody else other than North America knows it as "Pang"). This sort of rewriting of history is rife on Wikipedia.

Really odd decision for it to be changed away from this original title.

And if I'm being pedantic (and I am) it's Sega Mega Drive.

Repo, which says Sega MegaDrive, is at: https://github.com/LinuxMD/linuxmd

I added login support day one, it took a while to be reviewed but has now been merged. My method is better than Octal as no screen scraping or html tag parsing is done.

My pace of development seems much higher than the repo, so I will probably build out my own fork from this point.

The twitter thread was more than enough for me to understand what has gone on.
