Although not a direct equivalent, but check out Unwatched [1].

Been using it for a while to run integration tests with Testcontainers [1]. It's very good and much more lightweight than Localstack.

Unfortunately, still not much progress on improving the ergonomics of the sidebar. You still can’t do drag and drop, cut and paste etc.

Otherwise, really excellent editor. I use their Git client [1] daily and there’s nothing like it.

> Repeat for each app in the list, there should be at least 70 of them.

Just do it 70 times, no sweat.

My biggest complaint is the regressions on font size both on macOS and iOS. Some of the copy which was of comfortably readable size is now microscopic (for example, the organization and job title on a contact card in the Contacts app). Similarly, on macOS, when the sidebar icons are set to small, the labels also become terribly tiny.

Yeah, I did the same but found the experience worse. Currently I've set it at 75% where it is tolerable.

My grandfather and uncles have left me a vast pile of Urdu magazines and books, many of which are withering away due to old age. I’m working on digitizing them so I can enjoy them on modern devices. Very much in initial stages.

Do I have to use Rune Network? Can it can run offline?

At this point, I've come to live with it. I do use Supercharge[1] to fix some of the warts.

Yup.

Sigh.

> Firefox now limits CSS to 75 levels of nested blocks and functions, preventing crashes that extremely deep nesting can cause under some circumstances. More deeply nested rules and values no longer parse.

Very interesting change. I’ve yet to see CSS more than 20 levels deep. Good to put a stop to such insanity.

Not necessarily. See https://screenspan.net/fallback

I’ve found that ch and ex units are heavily influenced by latin characters. They just give weird results with non-latin characters leading to magic numbers. But the concept is really solid: use them if you want the spacing relative to text.

Very nice. I think this can be a good visual way to run LEAN activities like 5 Why and A3 Problem Solving.

How do I sign up with my own domain name without Bluesky account?

My story is a bit similar. Recently, I broke my wrist due to a fall and have also been suffering from eye strain. I couldn’t spend much time “working” on screen as much as I need. And so I ask LLMs to do a major chunk of work, review and test the changes, course correct things to align with architecture that I’ve outlined and get things done as if I were working normally.

Is it now possible to use native font stack of OS? Last time I checked, it wasn’t possible and apps had to bundle custom fonts as workaround.

Just disable the autocorrect and predictive text to make it usable again.

In reality, building anything complex is a huge pain using web components, particularly because it is hard to author them with appropriate level of styling API and accessibility support. In my experience, web components are fantastic for consumers but terrible for the authors.

Still, the advantages are clear: they don’t need any special runtime and can be used with other JS frameworks.

Another thing in favor of web components is support for custom registries which make gradual migration from one version to another trivial. AFAIK, no JS framework has an equivalent of custom registries.

I don't have allergy to AI "accelerated" development. I have allergy for platforms opting me by default into something that they clearly know I won't opt-in if asked.

BenQ is great. Been using a DesignVue for years. It is boring and just works. Doesn’t require any specialized drivers either.

> Some Trylle features use artificial intelligence and machine learning, and several of them rely on third-party AI providers (acting as our sub-processors) to operate. When you or a member of your organization invokes one of these features, the relevant context — which may include your source code, diffs, file contents, issues, pull requests, commit messages, and related repository content and metadata — may be sent to and processed by these third-party providers in order to generate a response. This processing happens at your direction: it occurs only when you or your organization triggers the feature, and it is scoped to the repositories and resources that feature is authorized to access.

> You can control whether these features are enabled through your organization and repository settings (for example, Settings → AI), and disabling a feature stops the associated processing going forward.

This playbook feels so familiar.

BTW, if you use Nushell, you can opt into sqlite backed shell history and press Cmd+R (or Ctrl+R) for search, all without any specific dependency.

As a very heavy user of IntelliJ and associated family of IDEs, I’d say they are extremely bloated compared to a few years ago. My latest annoyance with IDEA has been extremely slow disk sync. If I edit something outside the IDE, it takes a while to appear in it.

They should cut down the binary size and ship a leaner version without all the bundled plugins. They should improve performance on extremely large projects (both memory and IO).

Although I have let my personal Ultimate subscription expire, I still use it at work because debugger, codenav and autocompletion are still best in class.

I was answering to the storage part. Blacklisting is the attestation part which is definitely a concern. Again, you can use passkeys as a yet another way to login. You can still use passwords. It doesn’t have to be one or other.

It depends on the app you’re using to save passkeys. Use Keepass and it saves the passkeys into kdbx file (similar to SSH keys).

You can store your passkeys in Bitwarden or Keepass vault. Then you can use them through Bitwarden or Keepass apps on any other device. Been using passkeys like this for several years, and it works pretty seamlessly. With Keepass vault, I even have an offline copy as backup.

My problem is not with the marketing; they do their own thing all the time. It’s the people who drink the cool-aid and force “the tool” on others who are a problem.

To me, “AI is just a tool” argument sounds so fake and hypocritical because that is not how the proponents of AI talk about it. Instead, it is marketed as “the tool” and in some cases, “the only tool”. This completely shifts the incentives, the balance of empowerment and narrative from the users to toolmakers. At that point, AI stops being “a” tool.
