How is WezTerm compared to iTerm2, since you’ve used both? I’ve tried Kitty a few times, since it has a few features I miss in iTerm2 (e.g. the “i3-gaps” aesthetics if you set the right flags, a plaintext config that is easier to sync, and

You might want to check yourself for conditions such as asthma in that case. Mild cases often go undiagnosed but medication makes a huge difference on the heart rate during a slow jog.

It’s more precisely the difference between “rationalized” and “unrationalized” units. You need a factor 4pi in either Gauss’ law or Coulomb’s law (because they are related by the area 4pi*r^2 of a sphere), and different unit systems picked

I’m really excited to try out the new interface, native dark mode, and improved performance. Thanks Zotero team for your good work!

Zotero is open source (unlike most alternatives in this space like Mendeley, Papers, etc.). It is also less locked-down in that it offers a plug-in system with many useful third-party plugins. I have used Zotero as a digital library for yea

And why use Typst when you should be using Org-mode? Jokes aside, those formats all have their pros and cons. For me at least, Typst is not yet a usable alternative for neither academic publishing nor serious typesetting in general. But I l

When most apps cost $1 in total, paying 30 cents for all that was probably good value. Now that many high-end apps cost more than $100/yr, paying >100x more for the same service is not good value.

As a researcher that does mostly numerics, I really hope not. This would be a huge bureaucratization of scientific exploration and would slow down progress. I understand why it’s necessary in some fields like medicine, but I don’t think it’

“Publishing” in academia usually refers to being accepted in a “peer-reviewed” journal or conference. So your paper is not just uploaded somewhere – it is sent to 2-3 domain experts, who criticize your work and force you to jump through lot

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/882/ Do 20 experiments with a p<5% criterion, and it’s likely that one will be a false positive. Only publish positive results, and someone will eventually publish a false positive re

Thanks for the info, I’ll have a closer look at Restic then. Borg also has a FUSE interface, but last time I tried it I found it abysmally slow – much slower than just restoring a folder to disk and then grepping through it. I used a Raspbe

I’ve also found Arq to be brilliant on MacOS. It’s especially nice on laptops, where you can e.g. set it to pause on battery and during working hours. Also, APFS snapshots is a nice thing given how many Mac apps use SQLite databases under t

They recommend using keybindings instead of adding syntax for such interactive-only tricks. In this case, I think alt+up was the default Fish keybinding. (I think in Bash, alt+. does the same?)

Some points worth clarifying: - Readline is not used in every text field by default. Rather, e.g. MacOS and Readline independently offer a subset of the Emacs keybindings by default (Emacs predates Readline by many years, and I believe Ksh

If you don’t jump around a lot between boxes, having a large HISTSIZE can be sufficient: you can write inline comments after fancy one-liners, and use Ctrl-R to find keywords in the comments. Another option is to make functions, aliases, or

The search function in the App Store is also quite bad – it finds only a small fraction of relevant apps, and then throws irrelevant sponsors on top. Reddit and Google are both better for discovering what to look at in the App Store.

Sure – but I’m willing to bet that we can make butter far more efficiently by cutting out CO2 as a middle man, and e.g. utilizing plant waste more directly in a chemical plant. To be clear: I’m not saying that all research on CO2 utilizati

I put most of my open-source repos there for a few years, and got GitLab adopted at work too. They had similar feature set to GitHub and I didn’t want to support the latter’s near-monopoly status. After Microsoft bought GitHub and many larg

I read Egan’s “Diaspora” a while ago after a recommendation on HN. I can really recommend it if you’re interested in far-future SciFi with quite novel concepts. The start is a bit slow and the end a bit too weird, but the middle is the most

This strategy is called CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage), as opposed to CCS (without the U). As someone who as previously worked in the field, I think it’s a bad idea. Carbon capture is expensive. Even if you capture at conce

The problem with read receipts is that (1) it’s useful for spammers to see that their email went through, and (2) I don’t want to automatically share with people when I read the email or instant message, so i would turn off the feature even

I’m not an Outlook user, and I really dislike the product. But I wish the feature that you can write say @joel to get someone’s attention in large email threads with too many on CC would have been adopted by more mail clients.

It’s cool but it’s not perfect. I usually try to use this feature when traveling: either I or my wife will add the new Wi-Fi and share with the other. It works roughly 3/4 times, but the remaining 1/4 is infuriating because there’

Unless that is labeled the new darkweb and blocked by the firewalls of ISPs and govs. I hope enough mainstream things remain on the open web for it to be unrealistic to fully block.
