git rerere?
aneidon··on Reviewing Large Changes with Jujutsu
I have been using https://github.com/idursun/jjui a lot and it has been great. Not sure how it compares to magit though.

I couldn't see their link either until I turned off Ublock Origin on the page

pedant correction: pedant ;)

You can even inline the dependencies:

That plus this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42855258

Makes it pretty seamless for one-off scripts.

I think you mean 0.3 mg, based on your source.
aneidon··on How Microsoft made it harder to create Windows 10 local accounts
So what’s the point of logging in with a Microsoft account?
aneidon··on Ask HN: Recommend one book I need to read this summer?
I'm currently reading the Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton, and would highly recommend it.
aneidon··on Proof That iOS Still Hasn’t Gotten Undo Right
That’s not true. Only the iPhone XR is missing force touch (3D touch)

Edit: and even there, I believe you can long-press to get the same effect.

aneidon··on Magnus Carlsen Beats Fabiano Caruana to Win World Chess Championship
I’d be interested in beta testing this. Sounds great
aneidon··on Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 iOS app
You’re right, that’s because (I think) this is an “on-demand” VPN, which basically only connects as needed, and allows for switching between Wi-Fi and cellular. It also shouldn’t drain more battery, since it’s not keeping the connection alive when the device is asleep.
aneidon··on MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar 2018 Teardown
You really think the repair industry is the one sitting on that vuln?

Unless you're one of their users.
aneidon··on Marta, file manager for macOS, goes beta
I use https://github.com/Pyroh/Fluor to change whether the function keys or the media keys show up based on the application in the foreground.

It works quite well for me.

aneidon··on The U.S. Flooded One of Houston’s Richest Neighborhoods to Save Everyone Else
Broken for me too, I just get everything up to the first big image.
aneidon··on MacOS High Sierra
Ugh, wasn’t aware of that. That plus my annoyances with the sorting will definitely make me reconsider using the shared albums as the primary way of sharing family photos.
aneidon··on MacOS High Sierra
Just to clarify, I’m very excited overall for the update, although of course it is lots of under-the-hood stuff. When I wrote biggest I meant the biggest feature I’m not sure will be launching with the update.
aneidon··on MacOS High Sierra
Not aware of those issues, what exactly are the limitations?
aneidon··on MacOS High Sierra
The biggest change I’m hoping for (but not expecting) is the ability to sort shared iCloud albums by time taken, not time added to the album. Currently they’re all but useless for something like a shared album from a vacation, because it groups photos by when family members upload them. I tend to upload photos at the end of each day, but other family members who were shooting on a normal camera waited until the end of the trip to upload their photos. The end result is that photos that should be appearing next to each other instead show up at opposite ends of the album. Infuriating.
aneidon··on Ventusky – Weather data visualization
I'd love this as a live wallpaper. Anyone if there's an easy way to make that happen?
aneidon··on New XPS 13 Developer Edition Lands in Europe, United States and Canada

reminds me of Erlich Bachman in Silicon Valley, who is a pesca-pescatarian. "I only eat fish that eats other fish"
aneidon··on Ways Your Wi-Fi Router Can Spy on You
I think that was using the phone's microphones, not antennae. Same idea though.
aneidon··on Microsoft's Bing Isn't a Joke Anymore
It does. It's called verbatim mode, if I recall correctly.

Edit: verbatim not verbose

aneidon··on Facebook and its news feed algorithm
I've switched to using the mobile web version. I personally find it much more responsive, and Facebook can't bug me with notifications anymore ;)
aneidon··on TSA Master Keys
Sure, but if someone cuts your suitcase open with a knife it'll be much more obvious than if they used the master key to open it and then zipped it shut again.
aneidon··on Uber Flunks the Better Business Bureau Test
Yes. Uber flunks the BBB test by not paying up. Why is this news?
