   What I mean is that "it" - the advertised window during which the offer applies - is not 5am to 11pm as mentioned by the poster above.

   I use it to: - implement a keyboard based window manager - arrange/quit/launch some things based on whether my MBP is docked or not - resize and reposition certain windows that don't remember their own size and position - c

   I wonder if it's still possible to make a book of this scope of content and design craziness?

   In Japan it's now known colloquially as 「チャッピー」 ("Chappy" or "Chappie"). High praise that it has received such shortened and personified version so quickly.

   I've used procedural generation in so many of my games (including YOYOZO, my game that was listed alongside Mario & Zelda as a "best game of 2023") but the techniques in this article gave me some new ideas. Great stuff.

    Some early CDs were mastered with pre-emphasis. On players that don't recognise and correct (de-emphasize) this, the sound can sound full of treble. Every hardware CD player should be able to play such discs as intended. iTunes knows a

    Surely this is not rewritable storage? So more like an archival CD-ROM or tape than the read-write storage of a hard disk. Maybe they will write changes as incremental backups, and then when the medium is full archive it, or even dispose of

    Cheers! I thought it was a fun concept and I wanted a project to ease me back into work after being away for a week. I'm also kinda addicted to making extensions and have done a dozen or so. Nova has a git sidebar which does some of th

    I made an approximation of this for Nova editor on macOS. Though its extension system is quite limited, especially sidebar customisation, so it's missing a fair bit. But it was fun to do and it's quite useful as it is. I mention y

    Thanks for the info! I'm tracking so far behind the Swift "state of the art" in my apps. But, if it ain't broke...

    The project is great. The HN comments are embarrassing. Isn’t it ironic to imply laziness by chiming in with “vibe coded” which in itself is such a lazy reaction.

    I'm interested in what part of the design is limiting your app to macOS 14?

    I agree it would be a poor experience, but macOS does have an additional shortcut key for switching between windows: Command–Grave accent (`)

    This strikes me as a sort of Microprose aligned release. Do you have any publishers in mind?

    Professionally typeset books. Designers have been typing it—and the other dashes—manually using modifiers+hyphen on Mac since 1984. You can type them—plus the bullet character—today on iOS by doing a long press on the hyphen key.

    My point is just: if a test for what a symbol ‘really means’ depends on choosing an audience that conveniently erases everyone who uses it differently, that’s not describing intrinsic meaning, that’s describing the author’s cultural bubble
