“Circuit Cellar” reminded me of something, and led me to find this is the descendant of Steve Ciarcia’s 1980s BYTE magazine column. After several iterations, it looks like Steve sold it to an employee.
26 seconds per avocado is slow compared to a trained employee at a properly setup work station
Employee training is CRITICAL for this task. Improperly cutting avocados is the is one of the top kitchen related reasons for Emergency Room visits in the USA. (This includes people in their homes)
So I expect Chipotle is looking at worker’s compensation claims as much as wage increases.
Source: I own a coffee house and we serve lots of avocado toast. We are very careful about how we train and handle avocados. The task is easy to make safe, but without training and oversight people strongly tend to do it in a dangerous way.
I use git in various ways;
* CLI for most small tasks
* GUI for big tasks and getting an overview
* Editor UI for small things if I am currently in the editor.
* GitHub’s website for collaboration and GH specific tasks
The GUI’s I use are:
Git-Fork on macOS, Windows. Visually my favorite UI of all. https://git-fork.com
Sublime Merge on macOS, Windows and Linux. I use this the most since my main development system is Linux. It is more powerful. https://www.sublimemerge.com
I prefer those two to Tower, but Tower is much better than GitHub’s tools. Tower is probably the most powerful tool out there.
Many editors have good Git support. I tend to use these tools first smaller git tasks.
VSCode had a wealth of built-in and add on tools that can do nearly anything. I generally find these to be rather inelegant UI designs. But again better than GitHub’s own client.
I have been VERY pleased with the Zed Editor’s current git integration and expect it will improve. I have only recently started to use Zed as my primary editor on an experimental basis.
Finally, I haven’t really reviewed all of this in a few years. Always interested in learning new ways.
It should be noted that the link here is a comparison page specifically for DataGrip. There are similar comparison pages for other tools. Or go to Beekeepers home page for an overview of the product.
I suspect the burros you encountered had been themselves harassed by dogs in the past.
We also had horses. The burro was useful for training the horses to behave in a herd because she while she enjoyed being in the group she held herself outside of the horse’s hierarchy and would not be bullied
She was very adapt at wading into thorny blackberry bushes and eating only the ripest berries
As a child in the late 1970s, my family adopted a wild burro in California. My parents had her for over 30 years. I remember she had these freeze marks although you would have needed to shave it to read it. Burros are much shaggier than horses.

As others have mentioned it is probably worth looking at Kinto to add macOS keyboard shortcuts to Windows. I started this project years before I learned about Kinto, plus I have most of my other system customizations in here.
Currently my main workstation is KDE/Ubuntu where I use Toshy for the macOS shortcuts, and have customized the rest via KDE shortcut management and my hardware keyboard.
On Linux I now use Toshy
Yes I use Apple to sync the files between the NotePlan apps.
And I use my own tools to keep my NotePlan text files sync'ed to my KDE Linux Workstation where I can edit them in VSCode.
I won't say $100 is cheep, but then again I paid over $150 a year (more like $400 today)for a MSDOS Word Process in the 1980s.
What do I consider Notes? Documentation, reference materials, ideas, journaling, and task management.
For documentation I use a programmers text editor. Mostly VSCode, but I still use BBEdit, Sublime and others
For the past couple of years the primary application I use for everything else is NotePlan
NotePlan stores its data as markdown files, offers a very polished GUI for Mac, iPhone and iPad and is tailored to each. A web version was recently released and is still feature incomplete but very usable.
The developer has created an app that appears deceptively simple, but has a great deal of depth and flexibility for you to create your own systems.
If you want Tasks and Calendars as part of your note system, NotePlan is well worth a deep review. Check out the videos on their site to get an understanding. NotePlan also integrated with Apple’s Reminders and Calendar. It also can sync with Google Calendar.
Hashtags and @Mentions are available. Templates for meetings, journaling and more are provided or you can make your own.
Sync works flawlessly via Apple’s ICloud and the developer never sees your data. (I was skeptical of this but found it to be true). It is not recommended, but you can also sync via Dropbox or git.
NotePlan is extendable via JavaScript plugins many of which are provided by the community. These include simple shortcuts to complex new dashboard views.
Do you have your own additions to Markdown syntax? NotePlan made it easy for me to add my own syntax.
Since this is Markdown, you can use other tools. The NotePlan documentation explains how to use Obsidian
I mention the Web version is not yet full featured. However, it is VERY functional. My primary workstation is KDE/Ubuntu, and I use the web version all day long.
Finally, yes NotePlan is a subscription. I am hesitant to recommend subscriptions. But let me strongly state, I feel it is a fair deal. The subscription covers 4 native platforms. This is a highly responsive Developer on Discord and elsewhere, new features arrive constantly. I am on the BETA and get updated several times per month. The Developer has gone out of their way to not lockup your data in a proprietary format. The only lock in they have is providing an excellent UI and nurturing a great community.
Glad Firefox is revisiting PWA/WebApps
Be sure to read their documentation which includes a fair amount of macro programming.
The hacks described here are if you don’t have hotspot usage enabled with the carrier.
I have really only used these for refrigeration and monitoring access to liquor cabinets in a commercial environment. I user their apps and have some notifications via Pushover.
I have a back burner project to integrate their open/close switches with our Hue Lighting. But have only researched the possibilities. But their website describes how to setup lots of automations and integrations
