Interesting. Maybe I should have tried to configure it better? In the end, doing a rewrite of the core features allowed me to fine tune the technical choices to work extremely well on Windows (where fork is slow) while adding SQL for both t

For bash users who are tempted by zsh interactive "fuzzy" completion, here's my take on it: it's directory-aware (offering different suggestions based on your history of commands in that given directory), pure bash code

On modern Thinkpads, less that 0.5% of the battery per hour is expected, so if you disable automatic suspend to disk (aka "suspend to both") to save a few TBW from your NVME, expect to lose about 10% per day. Personally, I like th

If you want fun, grab an exotic machine like a X1 Fold with a weird CPU (i5-L16G7 with 1 fast Sunny Cove core, 4 small Tremont cores) and start hacking: even on Windows, everything works more or less ( https://csdvrx.github.io&#x2

First, you are assuming the size of the change to be proprotional to the change in hapinness level - that's a questionable first assumption! Maybe it's the opposite? Or maybe it's uncorrelated? By default, to play it safe, ke

Far far better than caca. But if you want a picture-perfect quality try instead mpv with a sixel output The subset of usable characters (glyphs) roughly defines how accurate the picture can be represented: if all you have is - and _ and you
