I find it hard it hard to believe anyone apart from you would see this as remotely the same thing.

I use my own domain with Gmail

Zizizizzon Show HN: Ghost Pepper – Local hold-to-talk speech-to-text for macOS

Most English speakers speak faster than 120 wpm so that's probably why people, especially those who can't type at speeds like you can, prefer it.

Zizizizzon Ask HN: What dev tools do you rely on that nobody talks about?

I tried tig first, I think Lazygit is the ideal interface to me for it. I actually don't use it apart from tags now though as I switched to jj and jjui for 2026. I think everyone has their own tool that works for them so it's hard to go wrong with a lot of these tools

Zizizizzon Ask HN: What dev tools do you rely on that nobody talks about?

https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin for fuzzy shell history (ctrl+r)

https://github.com/sharkdp/bat (nice coloured cat replacement)

https://github.com/abiosoft/colima (so I don't need docker desktop)

https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb (performant database that lets you directly query JSON, parquet, csv files with SQL queries and convert one to the other.

https://github.com/eradman/entr (rerun commands automatically when provided files change) (useful for rerunning test commands automatically once you save the file you're editing.

https://github.com/martinvonz/jj and https://github.com/idursun/jjui (Jujutsu VCS, been using it for three months and I really enjoy it)

https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker (managing containers, images, volumes easily)

https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit (best tui for git and outside niche git commands, the fastest way to use git.)

https://github.com/jdx/mise (fast asdf, direnv, and task runner replacement) (install pretty much version of tool, language, env vars in a per directory level. (Or global if you want))

https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide (intelligent cd to move between directories incredibly quickly)

Zizizizzon Ask HN: What dev tools do you rely on that nobody talks about?

You may like https://httpie.io/ if you've not memorised all the curl flags already. The CLI tools way of making requests with headers and post bodies is really nice in my opinion

`http PUT pie.dev/put X-API-Token:123 name=John`

Zizizizzon Neovim 0.12.0

Yes tab split, neovim on the left, companion on the right, or different tabs. The plugin codecompanion.nvim is also great. I use it for common tasks. Like:

vaf (visual around function) <space>ad (leader key add docstring).

And it documents the functions with my system prompt instructions for what good docstings should look like.

Zizizizzon The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe

Do you have Admin by Request on your machine (if its a company laptop). That was the culprit for me.

Zizizizzon The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe

I had this, it was our company's security software prompting an update (Admin by Request) that was getting hidden. An update to that software and the latest tahoe update seems to have resolved that issue.

Zizizizzon Oh My Zsh adds bloat

Yeah I believe I have these already configured as such, it was that atuin didn't require me to press enter again but thank you for sharing

Zizizizzon Oh My Zsh adds bloat

This is the .zshrc file I have in my dotfiles.

It auto installs everything if you don't have it. Starts effectively instantly.

Zizizizzon Oh My Zsh adds bloat

I use atuin for the shell history as it seems to know when I've run a command in one tab/split while another is open where fzf doesn't seem to sync it all the time. But I still use fzf to find files.

(Bonus, I use Zoxide to replace the alt+d cd shortcut as it's much faster, and use https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab for tab completions in the terminal to become fuzzy, very very useful)

Zizizizzon Oh My Zsh adds bloat

You can replace nvm with https://mise.jdx.dev/ , it starts effectively instantly and works not only for node versions but all programming languages and tools.

`mise use node@latest`

Zizizizzon Reddit Migrates Comment Back End from Python to Go

I don't think "Python" uses an ORM, moreso they did. You can write the SQL the same way there. It's why there is SQLAlchemy Core Vs SQLAlchemy ORM.

Zizizizzon M5 MacBook Pro

For me, who came from linux the only thing I don't like is the overview menu's lack of an (x) to close a window. The way slack stacks windows within the app so it's hard to find the right one. Pressing the red button doesn't close the app from appearing in your CMD+Tab cycle between apps, you also have to press CMD+Q. (Just a preference to how windows and linux treat windows, actually closing them. Rectangle resolved the snap to corner thing (I know MacOS has it natively too but it's not too great in comparison).

Things I prefer: Raycast + it's plugins compared to the linux app search tooling, battery life, performance. Brew vs the linux package managers I don't notice much of a difference.

Things that are basically the same: The dev experience (just a shell and my dotfiles has it essentially the same between OS's)

Zizizizzon Claude Code is all you need

I would assume he means creating a foreign key relationship from the posts and users table. Doesn't rails or prisma have a SQL migration tool? (Upon looking it looks like it's Active Record)

So the equivalent of

`rails db:migrate` after doing what you suggested in the interview. You could write in SQL as..

``` ALTER TABLE posts ADD COLUMN user_id INT, ADD CONSTRAINT fk_user FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id); ```

I don't know if that's what he was after but that's what my mind jumped to immediately. I'd recommend learning a bit as sometimes I've found that orms can be a lot slower than writing plain SQL for some more complex data fetching.

Zizizizzon Pascal's Wager

A silly argument in my opinion.

- You don't really choose to believe something, you're either convinced or you're not.

- Implies you choose the right god out of thousands

- Implies - at least for the abrahamic god that is all-knowing - that it wouldn't know you were just pretending to believe and/or believing out of fear

Zizizizzon Customizing tmux

I use ghostty and native splits, however there is no way to move a pane to a new tab. Which you can do in tmux very easily. That's one thing I wish it could do.
