Uniqlo has by far the best self checkout implementation I've used. My first experience with it, I was so suspicious that it was going to mess something up because I'm used to poor self checkout experiences, but now I'm over t

I have step-by-step video guides (with accompanying git repos) for booting NixOS from zero on both Hetzner VPS instances[1] and bare metal Robot instances[2] with nixos-anywhere[3]. I used to use nixos-infect but now I'm 100% sold on n

Nice, I didn't know this! I'll add that I know Nix is also used widely at Discord.

NixOS is honestly the single most game-changing thing I've been introduced to in my last decade of experience in tech. If you're interested in trying out NixOS I highly recommend either running it as an WSL2 VM[1] if you have a Wi

I have a bunch of home row mods, and I also have layers with dedicated app-specific utility-mappings that I have automatically toggle on when the relevant app window is focused so that I don't have to waste extra keys to toggle/sw

This looks excellent! I have gone down a bit of a rabbit hole and I'm considering once of the Alice ISO keyboards[1], perhaps even waiting until the low-profile Alice variants are available in ISO layouts[2]. [1]: https://ke

I have both an Ergodox and a Ferris which are both now gathering dust. In my experience, columnar layouts are not worth it for me as a developer, because there is nothing that I can gain from a layout that changes the position of the {};&#x

Gotta give a shoutout to kanata[1] which I have used daily for years at this point after giving up on QMK-powered keyboards. QMK itself is great, but I was never able to find a non-columnar split ISO keyboard to use it with. Eventually I re

TIL about Atuin! I just deployed this to my "everything" NixOS server with `services.atuin.enable` and synced a few of my machines up with it. Very cool! I hope this move goes well for Ellie!

I love seeing whenever this is (re)posted. This article had such a huge impact on my life and led to me creating many pieces of software[1][2][3] that were hyper-specific to myself and my needs at the time, which also later found an audienc

Honestly I had the same thought but I'm not complaining since I got a cheap(er) 4090!

My experience of the 4090 is similarly positive. I ended up picking one up at a discount from a MicroCenter while I was traveling because someone had purchased it, realized when trying to install it into their case that it wouldn't fit

I created something similar to this a while ago, but perhaps significantly more niche. I like reading classical Dari poetry, but I'm not a native speaker. Every now and then, I read a couplet which has a word that I don't know, or

Yabai, and chunkwm before it, and kwm before that, are probably the most important pieces of software that fundamentally changed how I interact with computers. I moved over from macOS to Windows and WSL full time back in 2020 and eventually

There is no doubt that this is a cool technical feat, but I don't think you'll catch me handling cron-like scheduling like this alongside application code. I can see from comments like vvpan's that there is a fatigue around m
