tectec··on Ghost Cut – Or why Cut and Paste is broken everywhere
I don't think I would like this. He mentions Excel does something similar and Excel is my least favourite app to cut/copy/paste in.
tectec··on Software is made between commits
This is what what I do. I never see the commits from branches but they are there if I need them. Even git blame can be setup to use --first-parent
tectec··on More Whimsical OEIS Sequences
For the first mentioned sequences based on fonts, what's the first number in the sequence that has less digits than the previous number?
tectec··on I built "Middle Class Museum", a tour of things that used to be affordable
Pensions used to be free and great, until the company stole from the pension before they went bankrupt and you were left with nothing.
tectec··on We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git
That's why you have to group similar forms. - Bricks - Plates - Narrow Plates - Wheels - Windows/Doors - Smooth pieces - People bin

And then if you like to sort further you sort out the smallest of each bin because those always fall to the bottom when mixed together

tectec··on Show HN: Foosbar – My autonomous foosball-playing robot
The tables I've seen with one goalie have raised corners so that the ball doesn't get stuck there. You see it more on budget tables in my experience.
tectec··on Do It Yourself Blind Repair
Does it use two sets of lift tape? https://fixmyblinds.com/collections/cellular-honeycomb-pleat...
tectec··on Seven Years of Factorio Friday Facts (2020)
They took a long break from them after 1.1, the first version was finished. They started again recently in preparation for the 2.0 release, which will hopefully be sometime next year.
tectec··on Show HN: Personalized Meal Plans to Suit Your Lifestyle
I can’t see prices without filling in my email? And there are so many recipes out there for free, why would I pay for more?
tectec··on Ask HN: How to handle Asian-style “Family name first” when designing interfaces?
He's from the house of Windsor so wouldn't he use that as his last name where it's needed?
tectec··on Lacros on Chromebooks transition plan won’t be quick
Do you think there are many sales lost of chromebooks because there is lockin? I think most people care way less about that then you would hope.
tectec··on LEGO Building Instructions
Brinklink has list for each brick of the set it belongs too. I was able to use that to discover a set I didn't know my older brothers had.
tectec··on Magit
I mainly use magit for reviewing changes, staging and committing. I haven’t found an interface that compares for staging and discarding hunks. But checking out branches I do on the command line and I use Meld for resolving conflicts.
tectec··on Office real estate crash will be so sharp, values unlikely to recover by 2040
It’s not so easy to convert offices to living areas, although I think it’s been done in a few places
tectec··on ELO Everything
I think you'd get a lot of cycles in this, so the rating won't be very stable.
tectec··on The Reddit blackout has left Google barren and full of holes
You'd think that reddit would be smart enough to show web crawlers a cleaner version than real users, or is that not allowed? Maybe google needs whitelist some of the biggest sites on the web so they can feed searchable data into google in a more efficient way.
tectec··on Venus is not Earth’s closest neighbor (2019) [pdf]
What kind of orbit would that be? In order for it to be that close so rarely it must spend most of its time even further from earth.
tectec··on Langton’s ant
Wow, that brings me back. My older brother wrote a Langton's ant program in QBasic, and one of my earliest computer memories was watching that thing go.
tectec··on My product is my garden (2020)
Gardening doesn’t have to be that intense. I grow a reasonably productive 12x20 garden, just by guessing. And I’m not a natural.
tectec··on Open source smartwatch integrates ESP32 MCU with e-paper display
I'd love a watch like this, but none of them seem to work with iOS. I don't know if sideloading iOS apps would help with that. Apple seems to keep the messaging and notification API's pretty locked down.
tectec··on Spanish climber emerges after 500 days in cave
If it’s anything like the Mars 1000 trip by Reid Stowe then the science thing might be more for publicity than for actual usable science.
tectec··on “In 2050, everyone will be carbon literate”
That’s not true, most beef comes from beef cows, which are slaughtered around 2 years. Milk cows are much different breeds and the females are kept around for up to 10 years. They might be eaten after that, but they don’t produce nice steaks.
tectec··on The world moves slower than you think: a case for ChatGPT skepticism
Can you share what kind of role you didn't have to hire for?
tectec··on Golf has a problem: people are hitting the ball too far
That's what's being discussed, do "they" change every golf course or just nerf the equipment for pros a bit? Which also has the added benefit that amateurs can still play the course as intended.
tectec··on Pausing Manifest V2 phase-out changes
I think you’re proving his point. That 10% (if true) is probably running a lot of important stuff in F500 companies. You just haven’t been exposed to it.
tectec··on The vertical farming bubble is finally popping
I don’t think you could use mirrors to change the wavelengths of light.
tectec··on A Gentle Introduction to CRDTs
