I agree. Talon is incredible. Before I discovered it, I was convinced that my career would be ended early by RSI, as it was getting slightly worse every year. Meanwhile voice coding looked like impenetrable wizardry from the few videos that

Sounds a lot like Microsoft's Scalar. [1] The commits referenced in the blog post look to be from the Scalar team lead as well. Looks like some of their work is getting upstreamed which is exciting. [2] Although, I wonder what this me

I imagine they wouldn't remove the ability to charge over USB-C, but simply add a new MagSafe port. This would effectively free up an extra port when traveling, and you could still use USB-C charging from hubs, monitors, or third-par

It's like looking at the rings of a redwood tree. You can navigate all the way down to a Windows 3.1 form in some places.

> I want macOS that has a UI of Windows 95. That would be totally insane on Apple Silicon. You don't even need to go as far as Windows. Classic Mac OS would be just fine.

I'm curious if there's an equivalent of this for shell scripts, or people use Xonsh itself for this. Simple bash scripts can easily grow into tangled behemoths and there's not an easy, incremental rewrite step (like JS → TS)

I always wanted to breeze in, sit down, and say, “so, what are we talking about?” but never had the guts.

You'd probably write these off as "$BIG_CO reinvents the wheel", but a few things these things did really well: - Big bright LED ring around the outside that glows red or green to tell you if the room was available. This was

As an added bonus, the whole number system is base 25 (logical, since there are symbols for 1 - 25), but this is sort of an easter egg that you don't have to know to beat the game. This is hinted at in an English journal that mentions

Those one was more "here's why this technology sucks and we're not going to use it", less "Company XYZ made us look bad, here's OUR side of the story."
