Definitely an interesting terminal. What bugs me is I can't switch the autocomplete command from <enter> to <tab>. Muscle memory keeps doing the wrong thing and in a terminal, that's potentially catastrophic.

I currently use xBrowserSync and I've had zero issues, it may not be your exact use-case, but it does allow tagging of bookmarks, searching, etc.

A few things for me: - A search and rescue team. Not only do I get exercise, fresh air, and the good feels of helping someone on their worst day, I also build very strong bonds with people I'd never have met otherwise. - Tabletop RPG&#

If you haven't been exposed to it, check out Noita. It's a falling sand action roguelike where the entirety of the world is simulated.

Anecdotally, something that's helping me is treating software development the same way I treat yard work. The work itself on the surface isn't super interesting. In fact, most of the time it's pretty tedious and boring (mowin

Are there any shell-agnostic ways of doing this? I tend to bounce between zsh, fish, although fish has been sticking lately so a fish version of this would be amazing. nevermind, managed to get this working for fish, just add it to the end

Another thing to try is podman. I run it on my mac and my mac is no longer trying to fly away on the strength of the cooling fans alone. Podman used to be a bit rough on mac but it's gotten significantly better, especially with podman-

In addition, pay attention the modalit(ies) of the therapist. If you've tried a few therapists and haven't found one that clicked, try one that emphasizes a different modality. As an example: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) vs.

I use https://www.xbrowsersync.org/ to keep track of, organize, search, tag, and sync my bookmarks across all my computers. Very happy with it over the past year.

This looks great, will be working with this in the next few days. I've always had a bad relationship with asdf as it seems to break existing tool management in creative ways that I'm unable to untangle without uninstalling it comp

Sample size of 1 but dark mode is a godsend when I'm on the verge of a migraine. Being flash-banged every time I go to a website is a quick trip to pain and nausea town.

One of my first developer projects. Was working for a GIS company reverse engineering ancient geospatial databases (and our own). Nothing had foreign keys, there was a "global connection table" that provided many-many-joins, prima

even better, it asks you to type a specific vim command before enabling it. Great "here there be dragons, are you a dragonslayer?" UX choice, and fun easter egg too ;)

For me the number one thing I try to focus on is _naming_. If something is hard to name, it's likely hard to understand or overly abstracted (misdirected). If something is easy to name, it likely follows [insert any software developm

FWIW I've used mine to duplicate both of our car key fobs (middle 2000's Mazda and middle-2010's Jeep) so it'll probably be very dependent on make/model/age as to whether it uses rolling codes.

Github pages is a fantastic way to get a static blog up and running. I use Zola instead of Jekyll to have a little more control over the look/feel/etc and have an automatic RSS feed.

I started searching for remote-first companies and specifically targeted them. I have 10-15 years of experience (depending on the specific needs of the company) in software, I was in a stable position at yet another zombie startup so I had

Focusing on remote-only, remote-first, remote-from-scratch companies is how I ended up at my current, and literally best company I've ever worked for, gig. Obviously the pool of such companies is smaller than in-person and they tend t

I have that issue as well and end up using xBrowserSync to keep bookmarks synced between Chrome (Android) and Firefox (MacOS and Windows). Maybe worth a shot. I'm on the waitlist for Orion so I don't know if it works on Orion ye

What you're looking for is an EUC, Electric Unicycle. Most of the people in the local onewheel group I'm a member of that ride EUC's wear full motorcycle protection. At least one of them can go upwards of 45 mph.

Off the top of my head... - Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson: it has its flaws but is still a rocket ride through a not-so-farfetched cyberpunk dystopia. I love the tongue-in-cheek nature of it as well "Hiro Protagonist" being the ma
