How did you end up managing things like waybar? You'd end up with 2 copies of it running and you typically killall/pkill to reload it because it's expected you'd only run 1 copy but now with this nested solution there&#x

Indeed, although I find hyprshot + satty a pretty good combo. It's almost as good as Flameshot. I think it's really important to be able to take a region, specific window or full display screenshot with an ability to annotate afte

I didn't even know that was possible but I think it would be the perfect solution, as long as it ran efficiently and managing the hotkeys between both sessions wasn't a problem. I wonder how that would work if you used the same co

Windows still has advantages for certain use cases, as much as I want to like Hyprland for everything. For example, imagine this screencast recording set up: - You have a 4k monitor - You only want to record a 1920x1080 section of

I'm beginning to really like scrolling window managers. It's optimized for minimal splits (let's say 2-3 windows) per view but it makes it effortless to flip between apps. Floating windows is also an option and making any of

I got a laptop recently where I installed Arch / Hyprland (not Omarchy) but I know what you mean about overlapping windows. I do this all the time on Windows where I overlap windows and then toggle some of them as "always on top&q

I still plan to keep using tmux. I like how it manages multiple sessions, making it easy to switch between projects and even resurrect them after rebooting. I also never had a problem with mouse copy / paste using tmux-yank. I've

Arguments can get pretty complicated. One nice thing about argparse is it comes with a helper function for mutually exclusive groups that can be optional or required. For example you can have --hello OR --world but not both together.

I'm not sure, they are in NY. I did a quick Googling and it says there's no specific legal mandate on the storage period for a restaurant. For any recording in NY, there is a legal requirement to post a sign that there's a ca

Are they accounting for foot shape? I remember growing up and I always internally joked that my step dad sounded like a cyberdemon from Doom 2 when he walks. It would shake the walls. He wasn't heavy but his feet are really flat so he

I have a bunch of zero dependency projects. You can get a lot done with the standard library and single file projects which you can run on most systems without needing to do anything except curl it down and run it since Python is available.

There are middle man services for certain types of food in certain areas. For example Slice is a popular one for pizza. I know a business owner who uses it. They have an app and optionally an online menu on your custom domain to take online

Yep I almost did that first but decided against it because I didn't want to get stuck with no phone in case something went wrong with the process. At that time I was technically on-call for work too. The store owner told me they servic

It's about the principle of the matter. A 2 trillion dollar company rendered my perfectly working phone close to unusable and every visit to their official repair center broke it even further. I picked the 4a because I liked its small

So here's a fun story on how Google completely ruined my Pixel 4a and will not help resolve it over the last 7 months. In January 2025, Google pushed an emergency Android update to Pixel 4 devices which completely killed the battery&#x

Docker helps with this nowadays. Of course you need to understand setting things up the first time you do it but once you know, it can apply to any tech stack. I develop and deploy Flask + Rails + Django apps regularly and the deploy proces

Serious question, how do you justify paying for any of this without feeling like it's a waste? I occasionally use ChatGPT (free version without logging in) and the amount of times it's really wrong is very high. Often times it tak
