   12000 hours? That's 16 solid months. I can't imagine putting that much time into anything.

   I use a similar tool, Gradia. https://github.com/AlexanderVanhee/Gradia The border can look nice in certain settings, the annotation tools are handy for drawing attention to specific elements. It has the ability to hid

   I'm not sure it'll hold up when you factor in moving your hand between the keyboard and mouse repeatedly. Skipping forward 3 words on the line, for example, could be ctrl+right ×3. I can do that faster than I can move my hand from

   Also the number who click around to position the cursor when they could hold ctrl and skip there in a fraction of the time. Same goes for shift and highlighting.

   I hope there's no ads before educational videos on how to do CPR or perform the Heimlich manoeuvre!

   I love my HDHR. I use it with Channels and everything works flawlessly. If Channels' DVR was pay once rather than a subscription I'd buy it immediately.

   Regardless of what it's currently like, supporting fewer things is going to make it easier to maintain.

    This is a good move. Without having endless resources keeping the codebase small and focused just makes sense. I know it's going to be painful for non-Linux users but volunteer devs can't be expected to cover all bases.

    It's really useful, thanks. I think the original post left people a bit confused on why it exists but you explained it really clearly here.

    Query Analyzer was eventually superseded by SSMS but there was an overlap period IIRC.

    Yeah, it's specifically the old applications I miss. They were really well designed, incredibly snappy and responsive. When SSMS was launched it was really slow and clunky on my computer. I switched to Postgres around that time so I&#x

    I still miss the tool it replaced, SQL Query Analyzer/Profiler. To this day it's my favourite SQL 'IDE'. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-magazine/2005...

    In those days GitHub probably had more eyes on it in a day then Gitorious did in a quarter. And I am one of the people saddened by the convergence on a single platform. But you can't deny, it's always been pretty great.

    I wonder how long it'll take for my PR which entirely removes the built in Pocket integration will take to be dismissed.

    If you're able to save while renting, fair. Lots of people can't and get stuck in the cycle. In the UK at least, they're often just paying other peoples' mortgages.

    Google's customers are the companies who pay them to place adverts in search results. The results page includes them and it's not always clear at a glance which results are promoted/paid. Kagi makes this a non-issue.
