Why stop at greek or arabic when you can go all the way to sanskrit? The words for sine and cosine derive from the sanskrit jiva (meaning bowstring, i.e., the chord of a circle)[1]. Sine and cosine were respectively jya and koti-jya, which

If I want to change a word on one line, I find it faster to do <esc>cw replacetext rather than use the mouse to select the text and then replace text. If I want to do that on 2-3 lines, I just use /findtext n and . to redo the pr

The real problem is that the company doing the rescue is SpaceX, and that's owned by Elon. And HN does not like Elon.

Aerospace is great and such a releif for an incoming i3/regolith user. Tried yabai for a while, but switching workspaces still sucks. Aerospace solves this by creating its own virtual workspaces and hiding windows from other workspaces

IMO, it's BS. At best, it seems to be trying to conjure up and provide some deep non-existent insight into characters in the movie masked by a cloudy haze of meaningless verbiage, and at worst, seems to be taking potshots at traditiona

That's what I thought I did, but I can't, for example, just move to space 7 or something. I need to create a new space with a number I can't control and switch to that. That new workspace might not be next to the previous spa

I tried yabai but found switching between macos spaces too slow. I moved to aerospace and I absolutely love the workspace implementation. But I really love yabai's focus-follows-mouse feature - so is it possible to use yabai just for
