Also = when prefixed with a space, which works basically like `command -v`, expanding to the full path of the executable. For example `echo =grep` results in `/usr/bin/grep`.

On plan.cat/stdin it shows just such an incantation:

    T=`mktemp` && curl -so $T https://plan.cat/~YOUR_USERNAME && $EDITOR $T && \
      curl -su YOUR_USERNAME -F "plan=<$T" https://plan.cat/stdin

It worked for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know F#, but from what I gather it's very similar to OCaml which I do. To put it bluntly, after OCaml, most other languages feel ugly. OCaml is my idea of what programming should be: graceful, ordered, well-designed, mathematical, yet practically applicable to real-world problems.

Except for the "everything is just so great" part.

This isn’t what I meant when I asked you for Linux support, Adobe!

Excellent intro comic, it got me really excited about your product! I would love to try it out once you release a more advanced course. I signed up, hopefully you will send e-mail updates as you release new courses.

Source?

Super cool!

P.s. it seems the repo with the code is private.

Obsidian may be Electron, but it doesn’t feel like it to me. It’s fast, smooth, and I’ve never noticed excessive memory usage. I think its quality exceeds most fully native apps, especially on Linux.

Last I heard it was built entirely by two people (and two cats). What’s a better way to build a high quality native-ish application targeting 5 platforms with a team of 2?

You seem to be seeking proxies for the effect of not thinking, putting your mind and body at ease, and letting go. Have you given meditation a try? Anecdotally, it can fulfill these needs in a way no other semi-conscious activity seems capable.

I like yad[0] for this. For example, I use it to present a GUI color picker to change/insert colors in Vim (via a plugin called vCoolor[1]). I also use it in some i3/sway scripts that need user input or to show a progress bar.

Does anyone know of any similar magic for turning an RPi into a Chromecast?

Down the Wikipedia Rabbit Hole we go:

> During the initial run of [A Fish Called Wanda], a Danish audiologist named Ole Bentzen died while laughing during a screening, which led newspapers to report that he had died from laughter. The official cause of death was heart fibrillation, which may have been caused by an increased heart rate due to extended laughter. Cleese considered using the event for publicity, but ultimately decided it was in too bad taste.

Reminds me of the ClockworkPi[0]. Is there a name for this form factor?

It’s the “wrong element” but if the goal is to scroll to a given vertical position then it works.

I mostly agree, but one really nice feature FF has is the ability to see a diff of the CSS properties you've changed in the inspector:

Absolutely. Julia is amazing. All of her work on Wizard Zines is so positive, helpful, approachable, and yet has enough depth that everyone from beginners to experts can learn something. She is an Internet Treasure for sure.

That’s not stupid, that’s really cool!

Most things in Japan seem to come with less pretense.

See also the LongPen, conceived by author Margaret Atwood for remote book signings. I particularly like the name because it sounds like something out of her fiction.

It would be cool to see a version of rlwrap [1] (blwrap in this case?) using this library.

I like to use GPG-agent’s SSH agent emulation [1]. I start the agent with a systemd user service and have the keys expire after something like 10 minutes. A benefit is that it uses a GUI pinentry dialog to ask for your password if the requesting program doesn’t have stdin from a terminal, e.g. if I try to git push from Fugitive inside vim. I find that GPG-agent is more intuitive and less finicky than SSH-agent.

Seconded, I’d like to incorporate it into a project of mine.

This looks cool! I would be concerned about the privacy of my communications, though, since your service is essentially a MITM. What have you done to address privacy concerns? Your privacy police seems like boilerplate and doesn’t address anything specific to your service.

Dalibor has a YouTube channel where he publishes super interesting videos about the production and R&D processes. Highly recommend.

I wrote a little tool to make creating and interacting with systemd-nspawn containers easier (on Arch Linux only right now):

https://github.com/b0o/arch-lwc

Not intended for any sort of production. I personally use it to run Firefox inside a container and for testing.

Also interesting: the new OCaml website is built with ReScript, the rebranding of ReasonML.

It’s an enjoyable part of the day and a fun skill to practice.

Snobbery exists, but I think most people are just excited about the subject and perhaps overly eager to share their learnings. To some it seems snobbish, but from the coffee lover’s point of view each thing they’ve learned has made a big difference in their experience and they’d like to share that with others.

Just like any skill, there will be gatekeepers and elitists who think they are better than others. They’re the vocal minority.
