It's not a gui, but in case you hadn't heard of it before: unixes usually have a `locate` command that'll do ~instant file/folder name searches. The index is usually rebuilt via a cron job though, it's not always up

Since it looks like this got flagged (probably because out of context at a glance it looks like insane babble that somewhat frequently occurs here), some context: this is appears to be text recovered from the pdf, in the links up-thread. T

The display driving code is part of their "xochitl" binary, which is not GPL (and might not be allowed to be, eink-the-company is rather protective of their tech and waveforms). ~All modding happens by reverse engineering the bina

SSH in and you have access to basically everything. The stock setup has two partitions for the OS (it toggles between them when you update, or toggles back if it fails to boot a few times) so you can: Dual boot (disable updates and install

> I also have a fairly light touch normally, and the pressure curve on either the Remarkable 2 or Pro requires me to press too much for comfort to get any “width” in any of the tools. Yeah, this bothers me a lot with mine too (an RM2).

Which means it's probably all I have seen - so you can't approve commits either, or track file-reading progress through commits (I think? i.e. "viewed file X at commit Y, but not at commit Z"), or diff changes to a commi

> Replaying commits one-by-one is like a history quiz. It forces me to remember what was going on a week ago when I did commit #23 out of 45. While I agree this is a rather severe downside of rebase... if you structure your commits into

I'd say it happens pretty frequently, when in a medium-large corp or larger. The middle layers don't know what they're asking for, and don't listen to feedback, as a general statement. They're just managers, not

I've seen that you can read one commit at a time, but never anything for reviewing (or diffing between them if they change) - is there a UI beyond just clicking on the list of commits? Though I forget if you can even comment in the

I also get tons of mileage out of This One Weird Trick: make a new branch first. Every single time it appears non-trivial, just abort and branch before continuing. Then if you screw up, even several steps later when it's hard to un-re

There is the nuance that much code that is available publicly (which includes a GIGANTIC amount of that "written by people in their spare time" stuff) is put there for the explicit goal of showing other people all the details so t

I'm not aware of any table-capable markdown renderer that requires tables to be padded correctly. It's purely a source-text-readability concern. No doubt some janky one exists somewhere, but nobody uses that.

No rotary dial, and... I think no, the closest you'd get is to run an app on the watch (so you can capture the three not-"back" buttons) plus a companion app on your phone to receive events from it and do [stuff]. But that&#

OLED is also a heck of a lot less readable in sunlight. They're constantly improving, but the brightness they need to pump out to actually compete is extreme and they're still nowhere near that.

Every Garmin I've tried has been a complete mess, laggy, and deeply unstable in its connection and what notifications it supported (if any), whether it was cheap or expensive. I'd love an alternative, but from the models I've

Gotcha. Broadly agreed then (Java is a very good counter-example), though I think pypy might be succeeding quite a bit more than org-mode in terms of users... and org-mode doesn't have a language spec either afaict. It has a fairly g

by Groxx 9mo ago
Is the claim that pypy has no spec, but cpython does? By that definition I think either both have a spec (they both use https://docs.python.org/3/reference/index.html and both are just "an implementation&quot

by Groxx 9mo ago
Python has a spec and multiple healthy implementations, and is overwhelmingly more popular than org mode, so I don't really think that's a rebuttal.

I did try Orgzly a bit (it's decent though a bit unique, definitely worth a try for anyone curious), but I ended up dropping it after finding out that what I had made in it wasn't compatible with some other thing (I think Emacs, b

I've seen tons of non-cpython use, so I'm not really sure what claim you're trying to make. Aside from supporting "having a spec allows for many implementations that all work".

You have to read between the lines a bit, but the post supports it. It's talking about how readable it is, how you don't need tools, etc... and when it gets to tool support, it basically just has "you can use your mouse! you

I'll throw in a +1, afaik vendoring is a complete and reliable solution here. Go's `mod`-related commands have had quite a large number of breaking changes in behavior through the years, so I won't say it's a stable so

AFAICT org-mode has no spec. Still. Decades later. The only spec is a single implementation. Which is probably why approximately nothing else supports it. CommonMark on the other hand is very widely supported and all of them work great toge

Yea, SMS and phone apps are quite numerous. I don't think it's a problem, the subsystems all the apps use is open enough and not hard to build against. Except for RCS, that's completely locked down and is pretty solidly becom

Great. So now nobody gets bugfixes until after the main vendors get priority access to it. for six months . There's no way this isn't intentional hostility towards forks.
