I had their OP-1 for a long while till I had to part with it for some emergency cash. It was a truly delightful thing to play with and lost neither charm nor monetary value even years later.
For the interested, the original Dōgen zen koan goes something like this —
Before I began to practice, mountains were mountains and rivers were rivers. After I began to practice, mountains were no longer mountains and rivers were no longer rivers. Now, I have practiced for some time, and mountains are again mountains, and rivers are again rivers.
Huge mistake. Water fasting is a breeze when done correctly and dangerous when not. The biggest risks are not supplementing the fundamental electrolytes because your body runs out of them in about 2-3 days and the second is not taking precautions to prevent refeeding syndrome. If you’d like to attempt another 3+ day fasting please read up on the fundamentals this time to ensure a pleasant experience. I love my headspace during an extended fasting, nothing quite like it. Two good sources to read up on this is the r/fasting subreddit’s wiki, (note the electrolyte and refeeding syndrome sections) and if you’d like something with more depth any/all of Dr. Jason Fung’s fasting books.
Did you take your electrolytes? If you don’t supplement on Magnesium/Potassium/Sodium you’ll have to deal with severely unpleasant effects on any water fast that spans beyond 2-3 days.
Don’t be like that. Even as it is, iTerm is the furthest thing from Warp. The ai api is upto you to hook up using your own provider key, you don’t have to use to and everything else remains the same. And it’s reasonable to assume they chose the OpenAI rn because it has become the unofficial defacto standard, should a universal one emerge I’m fairly confident iTerm would use that. iTerm’s been around long enough and deserves some good will no?
Toshi Omagari’s Tabulamore is the most gorgeous connected monospace font I’ve seen so far. The rest of the fonts in that tabular type collection aren’t connected but still pretty good fonts and they’re all steals at the price he has them listed.
From the pre-GUI era, one favorite would be Ken Thompson's text editor "ed". It's built with a print output in mind and it doesn't show you the text itself by default. You'd have to target a line range and specify an action such as replacement or even to print it out to screen or paper; using the now famous g/re/p pattern. The minimalism is really cool. ed is still around as a vital part of the vim text editor to this day actually.
Using FontForge to regenerate an export is kinda drastic. What you want is ttx from the fontTools font manipulation toolset. ttx can generate an editable XML file with the font’s tables that are easy to make changes in. hhea is obvious to find; for “win”, you probably want to look inside OS/2. If you can afford it, the go to application for this sort of post-production alterations is DTL OTMaster.
FontForge is open source, cross-platform and fairly featureful; that is something to be grateful about but I can assure you from first hand experience that yes the commercial competitors are indeed much better. If you have macOS you check out some of those yourself, they have long enough trials - Glyphs(/Mini) and RoboFont. That said I’m most excited about the upcoming generation, for example the web based fontra.xyz etc.
I myself love the frequent updates but understand where you're coming from. Perhaps you can install/upgrade via your package manager, on macos at least homebrew has Calibre (and his other project kitty) available as casks.
Maintenance patch apparently, good work team. Looks like they fixed a few shell issues as well but afaict `ctrl-d` to end session hasn't made the cut again uff.
> Google also reserves the right to delete data in a product if you are inactive in that product for at least two years.
This part is unreasonable no? I sometimes don't use a product for a while, like google drive for instance, and the prospect of coming back to it and discovering that all my data has been deleted is a bit on the dreadful side. I don't want to have to keep track of which product Ive been using and how long since I last signed into all the time.
Among other things that makes this tool awesome is how convenient it makes light weight data wrangling on the cli, e.g. to introspect some json data in your clipboard with sql
Compared to the others neovim should theoretically be snappier. Could it be bogged down by 3rd party plugins or something? If so try to switch to the lazy.nvim plugin manager which does a great job of lazy loading plugins, but more importantly allows you to profile the startup time and tweak loading mechanisms until you find a desirable balance between loading plugins and startuptime.
I was quite satisfied with tmux but this issue (and one other) really drove me to seek an alternative like zellij so bad, but just couldn't settle on it for one reason or another. Instead I ultimately found refuge in kitty term which as a whole emulator is an overkill, but it's a great replacement and mostly as customizable. It does a good job with windowing - I particularly like the xmonad style window size switching. But there are still some parts of the tmux ecosystem I miss, like tmuxinator and the extracto plugin but otherwise most of my needs have been met, and the speed is a welcome bonus. So, can definitely recommend kitty as a good tmux alternative.
I mean you can't wander into a discussion about packaging without coming across a solution that does it well. Disclaimer, I do use NixOS as a daily driver now and it's not a panacea but after years on other distributions, it really is a breath of fresh air, so I'm not suprised it has many advocates.
