In my experience fzf actually feels faster simply because it’s able to begin populating the output list before it finishes reading the input list. This means you get selection options immediately, whereas with fzy there can be a delay. This

IRC is the first place I go if I can’t find an answer in the documentation or a search engine. If that doesn’t work, I’ll turn to a mailing list. Personally, I find both of these options have less friction than starting a new question on SO

What would a nationalized, public version of Twitter even look like? Every citizen is granted and guaranteed the right to spew their vitriol publicly where everyone can see it? I agree with you about ISPs, but I don't see the sense in

That’s awesome. Are yoga mats dissipative? Is this like a poor man’s ESD mat (figuratively speaking, not trying to imply that you’re poor)?

I tried this but found it kind of confusing. How do you actually edit your wiki? As far as I can tell, when I make changes the wiki "saves" by making a new commit and pushing it to GitHub, but it doesn't modify the file itsel

I agree. I’ve been working on a version of pass [1] that uses age [2] instead of gpg (it’s also written in Rust instead of bash so is considerably faster). It’s very much a work in progress, but enough of the base implementation is done tha

Yes exactly. I don't think an abstract understanding of the costs is enough. If the cost isn't physically or viscerally felt, it just doesn't factor into people's decision making. This is where the pricing system really
