Apple, Opera, and Mozilla: Why are you working against open standards?

I don't think homebrew allows throttling bandwidth but it does let you set maximum concurrent downloads though. I believe the default is twice number of cores; you must have quite a few :) Set this to your preference:

HOMEBREW_DOWNLOAD_CONCURRENCY

This one is getting a lot of undue flak. Not only does it require explicit confirmation, it’s also contained entirely within the passwords app which already has access to all your passwords because you chose to trust it.

If you use this app, open it and look at how many entries fall under the “security” section. Everyday another password is compromised and added to the list, just too many to keep up. So, albeit apprehensively, I for one appreciate this feature.

Various LLM Smells 2 months ago

These LLM idioms are constantly being consumed every day and are bound to make it into the next, if not current, generation's vernacular. It's going to be unbearable.

Not op but I’ll vouch for the mini.nvim plugin suite. While I take advantage of their high configurability, their defaults are well thought out and I happily use some like that as well.

Vim 9.2 5 months ago

For over 30 years, Vim has been "Charityware," supporting children in Kibaale, Uganda. Following the passing of Bram Moolenaar, the ICCF Holland foundation was dissolved […] and its remaining funds were transferred to ensure continued support for the Kibaale project. […] Vim remains Charityware. We encourage users to continue supporting the needy children in Uganda through this new transition.

I settled on vim for its technical merits but Bram using his goodwill to fund a charity like this for so long always made me feel good about my choice.

Likewise. I can unreservedly say it’s one of my best app purchases of all time.

Apple really should’ve grabbed Affinity before canva. Would’ve rounded out this suite much better.

Using mouthwash every time is not ideal because most mouthwashes disrupt your oral microbiome which will result in undesired side-effects like teeth staining etc.

We have an iOS app in the store for 3 years and out of the blue apple is demanding we provide new licenses that don’t exist and threaten to kick our app out.

Crazy! If you can elaborate here, please do.

This case was different from hackclub’s usual donations. Someone spotted OXY2DEV, a prolific Neovim plugin dev, coding on his phone and shared it with the community. People rallied to raise money specifically for him, and hackclub stepped in to facilitate. The drive ended with a small surplus, and since the funds were raised only for him, they let him decide how to use it. Smart choice because in South Asia chasing service centers is such a hassle and Apple’s service process is a dream in comparison.

At some point far in the future, humanity will populate an entire planet with custom designed species, something like the engineers from prometheus. If only there were a way to live long enough to see all that.
