Yes, but specifically in the context of Terminals (as discussed in the original article), it's really convenient to be able send Ctrl-C (break) differently than Cmd-C (copy). So yes keyboard remapping is an option. But there's jus

I really do like Cmd key usage for any terminal in Mac. The ability to send Ctrl+C differently than Cmd+C in a Mac is joyous. However, for most all other applications in Mac, I dislike the Mac command key. Especially in IDEs like vscode, et

You can't just create yourself an "everything" environment with UV and then experiment with it? Honest question. I think you're basically suggesting that you'd have a VM or something that has system-high packages al

I mean, if this doesn't depict modern devops, I don't know what does. Unsung heroes, honestly.

Super insightful. I feel the same way. I can't mentally "conclude" my read for the day, because there is always just One More Article that is just under the threshold. An extension of Fear of Missing Out, basically. And yes,

Ah, how cute. An actual "old school" blog. Nostalgia. Tears in eyes. https://jyu.dev/blog/ And the production of articles is about right too. . "Hello World" - The start of something great. [D

Right, I'm so tired of "infinite scroll". There's a mental/emotional reward for actually reaching The End of something.

Fair and good point. Sharp black bothers me, so just adding in a little hue is nice for my eyes. But that's me, of course. Noting also that this text is #000000 black, per the CSS. Maybe the background color helps soften it a little? L

Better, to be honest. Keep refining of course. But this is definitely more readable. I admit that straight black is not quite the right answer either. A slightly toned down dark grey would be nice. And again, subjectively, I like how HN has

I hear you about "links are blue" ... except when you are a link aggregator. The links are blue design from early HTML was meant to highlight links in the context of a paragraph of prose, not a list of link items. "Blue"

I'm not sure, something about the "Recent Stories Summary" section (first view) is hard to read. The spacing is wrong. And the blue font. Someone mentioned Garamond too. It's creating a "wall of text" effect to

Agreed. These are good examples where annotations seem like a good fit. Being able to tell a processor that a method or field is "special". Test methods, serializable hints, etc. It's kind of like, when annotations were deliv

I'm not digging for "internet points". Yes, superficial replacement values can be retrieved from the environment. But I guess we have to give you a more imagined or sophisticated example then to make the point to you? How abo

And then I realize I need to change that schedule. And would like to do it without recompiling my code. Oh, and I need to allow for environment specific scheduling, weekdays on one system, weekends on others. And I need other dependencies t

Given that, probably lobbyist influence then more than anything.

Totally agreed. But unfortunately, they often do.

Right, set too low (imho). And not a graduated phase out either. And the market for these cars are going to be people typically past the income limit. My instinct tells me that people below the income limit ($75K/$150K) probably aren&#

Maybe the car dealers have had a lobbyist that has influenced this to their favor. Wouldn't surprise me. But likewise, there's some formality and paperwork trails that exist when a dealership is involved vs. private party, so I wo

Make sure to grab the mother-of-all-torrents I guess if you're going to go that path. That way you get more bang for your 1.5B penalty.

It was the opposite experience for me. Before spellcheck was commonly part of the web browser, I would go back and reread some very early emails and/or usenet posts from myself. And realize how atrocious my spelling was. I actually con

I don't know that URL shorteners are/were vaporware, per se. They delivered what they promised. They just didn't have any business model behind it that could keep it sustained. It was the classic, "we have built up traff

Yes, but the distribution (of a highly addictive product) is what sells. Not the raw ingredients or manufacturing, per se.
