i often find xargs ends up biting me, and i have wanted some alternative for a while... but i don't think this is the one for me.

it feel like the syntax here is odd. it still requires me to write quote my command i want to run? unfortunately i'll have to pass on this.

personally i'd want some variant where i can still auto-complete commands and have just have {} as a placeholder. (maybe time to learn how to use xargs for real?)

i always forget the parameters in if statements are in bash. i have come back to this page multiple times, it's a nice resource.

i managed to get 8 pieces standing on the log, without any of them falling off.

regarding `* { box-sizing: border-box; }`, i usually follow the "Probably Slightly Better Best-Practice"

recently i've ran into products that feel like they were not meant to be used, but instead just follow some specification list.

for me, the end user's experience goes above all.

Kagi is really nice. i love the built-in feature to hide certain pages from appearing from results, and also how AI their stuff really feels opt-in. there are a bunch of other small things like navigation with keyboard that i really like too.

looks nice when you want to quickly get something up and running! i'm trying to move away from GUI-based, and i haven't really found a nice workflow with just using curl

So people end up running full desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, etc.) squeezed onto a tiny 7" touchscreen. It's miserable.

to add on to this: you can definitely make great UI's for small screens and unconventional controls -- Playdate [1] builds their UI around a physical crank on the device, and it feels fun to use it :)

small fun fact: "vi" means "we" in Swedish

"The we family" :)

has someone here moved from DaVinci Resolve to Kdenlive? how was that experience?

i just was a bit shocked to find out Resolve didn't support h.264 on their free tier on Linux, and i don't want to re-encode all my footage to AV1

i wonder if this includes sites that do auto-redirect: A -> B (auto-redirect) -> C

if i'm on page C and go back, page B will take me to page C again. i think this is more about techincal incompetence rather than malicious intent, but still annoying.

i could not beat it, and i can't read that chess notation

i love that they posted a snippet of Swift code showing other developers how to detect this themselves!

similar situation here, but i used it because i thought it was funny... then kept it because it grew on me haha. had it for a few years, might give it a spin again

the website design is cool as h*ck

when you click away to another tab, the title and favicon of the page changes to something weird, but really legit looking.

a couple of my favorites: "rust programming socks - Google", "Amazon.com: waifu pillow", "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up", "censorship on hacker news - Google"

i worked with SwiftUI for about two years, and i think it's a really nice language. the compiler is very slow though.

but i think it's too coupled to Apple still. when i tried getting anything running on non-Apple, i had so much trouble i decided then to not even bother.

my parking space company has a variant that if you call in, you can choose to be called back at a later point.

what they don't tell you is that they will call you back after 4pm.

you don't keep your place in the queue. the first time around i expected to be called back within an hour, and ended up expecting a call "any minute now" the whole day.

CGI has a lot of consultants in both government and municipal places (i've worked at both), and some of our main tools like time reporting was built as a addon to our personnel system by consultants at CGI. half my team are consultants from CGI, 4 out of 7 people.

also: hi tavro! it's been a few years, how have you been :D

the ascii art is very reminiscent of this snow simulation posted some time ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46691548

obviously not related at all, but enough to make me go "hm, this looks familiar" :)

a couple years ago it felt like the iPhone just worked. currently, it's so buggy i can't ignore it. some of these which i encounter every day: - screen is dimmed when unlocked, then after a minute or so, goes to normal brightness - touch screen does not work when receiving calls, so i can't answer. same for alarms, where i have to use the volume buttons to snooze the alarm, then touch starts working so i can manually clear it - alarms not going off, or just being silent. so many time's i've woken up next to my phone being completely silent with the alarm interface being active - keyboard not appearing sometimes causing layout issues - using reduced transparency in Apple Music causes a huge empty area to appear in the bottom bar where the dynamic (?) "current song playing" appears - rearranging icons on the home screen feel like it's a 50/50 chance moving the icon actually succeeds. the other half of the times, the icon just returns to where ever it was before - re-arranging the control center do not register, or actions are delayed and makes it so un-intuitive what is going on

some design things which are intended which annoy me so much are: - plugging in a charger will force show you the battery, so you can't use your phone for a few seconds - hold and dragging the keyboard spacebar to move the cursor has some delay until the keyboard returns to normal, and tapping the spacebar again (when i need to place a spacebar) resets the delay

iMessage and AirDrop is so convenient, and the integration with AirPods is super clean. i would really like to continue using iPhone, but every day i feel somewhat depressed over how laggy iOS is :(

with claude, i got the response:

drive. you'll need the car at the car wash.

haha this made me chuckle

at least they are not renaming retroactively.

looking at you USB 3.0 (or USB 3.1 Gen 1 (or USB 3.2 Gen 1))

looks sick. website says it's open for pre-orders, but it's not?

The algorithm provides accurate results over a period of ±1.89 Trillion years

i'm placing my bets that in a few thousand years we'll have changed calendar system entirely haha

but, really interesting to see the insane methods used to achieve this
