When tapping, I have to see, or in case of watching for some event to happen to stop the time, feel/guess when exactly the distance between screen and finger approaches zero. With a stop button triggered by release however, I can just calmly rest my finger on it and raise when the event happens, without any guesswork.
Only partially true: macOS is supported, and one can fall back to the web. But you're right in that native Windows and Linux are still missing.
> Linux
Problem with Linux of course is that it's almost as fragmented as Windows, with Qt and GTK being the main toolkits, but a dozen more if you ask the wrong people :D I personally don't like GTK, to me it (well, mainly Gnome) looks and feels like trying to copy macOS without understanding what makes it great, but Qt is a toolkit I can get behind…

Only reason to use Google nowadays for me is travel in countries where neither Apple nor OSM have good coverage.
That’s misunderstanding the at protocol. There is a difference between a pds, where the data lives, and the appview. Tangled (the appview) happens to also provide a pds (they didn’t always do), but displays data which lives on other pds’s just as well.
You are mistaken there: Git is just one (of currently two) backend of the jj version control system. It’s far from being a wrapper.
1. Spotify, Uber etc are popular because of their product, not the pure quality of their apps. People use Uber because they want to cheaply get somewhere, and Spotify cause that’s there all their shared playlists are.
2. People buy whatever tv is on sale when their old one breaks, but the vast majority will stay with their phone platform, so couldn’t care less what their apps look on the other platforms out there.
So, native experience does matter, but obviously only as one of multiple deciding factors.
> What does “bad iOS citizen” even mean?
Doesn’t look like native apps, doesn’t feel like native apps (come on, most multi platform frameworks don’t even get the scrolling right, one of the most basic forms of interaction), doesn’t use all of the platforms features to their fullest, as applicable for the type of app.
And I hate every one of those apps (well, back when I used Facebook, years ago, I did), because they’re just bad iOS citizens. I, as most iOS users do, don’t care what apps look on Android. For Android users, it’s the same with iOS. Making shitty cross platform apps is all about branding and saving some money for developers, nothing about the users.
So much resources for producing nothing of real value. What a waste.
Great project though, appreciate open sourcing it.
You picked exactly that one field of science where this can't happen. At least in the EU (and US, according to Wikipedia), clinical trials have to be registered before conducting the actual research, so they can't be discarded if not successful.
# ~/.config/fish/functions/fbi.fish
function fbi -a query -d 'Install Brew package via FZF'
set -f PREVIEW 'HOMEBREW_COLOR=1 brew info {}'
set -f PKGS (brew formulae) (brew casks |sed 's|^|homebrew/cask/|')
set -f INSTALL_PKGS (echo $PKGS \
|sed 's/ /\n/g' \
|fzf --multi --preview=$PREVIEW --query=$query --nth=-1 --with-nth=-2.. --delimiter=/)
if test ! -z "$INSTALL_PKGS"
brew install $INSTALL_PKGS
else
echo "Nothing to install…"
end
endSounds like hell to me.
I'd take a minute to rip the fckng line of code bugging me every 5 installs out of the code. Thing is, if you make telemetry opt-in, it's the same as just not adding it in the first place. Only a handful of users will opt in, rendering the data pretty much useless, especially as it's install and install-fail counts.
If they included any personal data, it'd be opt-in by law (at least here in EU). As they don't, they don't have to, and I'm fine with it.
