I used to do this, but ever since I was forced to boot into windows at work I went back to treestyle tabs everywhere (context-switching became too much). I also never bothered to set up scripts/keybinds for easier managment of deeply n

My solution is to use (ungoogled if you insist) Chromium for PWAs.

Tree style tabs is more stable and performant but also has a few nice addons (TST Colored Tabs being one of my favs). Sideberry can be infinitely customized but I found it to be extremely slow with 100+ tabs across multiple windows.

> I completely disagree. The idea that in the past people were "lucky to see their children grow up" is dramatic, and a tautology anyway since we are all "lucky" to see our children grow up in any epoch. It paints a n

People hold about 100 Megatons of dry carbon unless I made some fundamental error (9 billion * 65 kg * 0.185 [18.5% carbon by mass]). It's actually a bit amazing when one calculates figures like this.

I think the parent comment made a reasonable point and did so in a calm manner. It in no way overplayed the misery of the past (I'd argue it vastly underplayed it). Now, to your contention that "we've screwed up as a civilisa

Do you have some references for the local breakout thing (preferrably technical docs/spec)? Seems like it would not be in Telcos interest to saturate their interconnects needlessly.

If your linux system update included a new kernel you _will_ need to reboot to actually use the new kernel. I am not aware of any desktop distros that come with kernel live patching enabled.

My comment was specifically a response to the "because it is capitalism on steroids" line of reasoning which implied that global warming and environment destruction are consequences of capitalism.

That's the spirit. There really is no other way than development. If we try to go back to 19th-century resource consumption and CO2 emissions we also need 19th-century population numbers. If the "degrowth" (a euphemism for po

This is such a tired argument. The socialist block was, at least by the 1980s, much more wasteful and destructive to the environment than the capitalist world. I encourage you to search for videos like "1980s krakow winter" or &qu

This tripped me up as well. While modern NAND SSDs do slow down to about a third of the advertised speeds on non-sequential reads/writes, that is still 2-3 GB/s. The "normal" (SATA) SSDs are just limited by SATA's l

Well yes, obviously there will be a price floor on housing in a wealthy country. My point is that in recent decades the entire developed world has absolutely strangled their housing markets. Anywhere people want to move to, the wages:home p

I appreciate every single new housing unit being built and think public housing is generally a good idea. But recently there seems to be a trend of people wanting to fast-track zoning and permitting for public housing only, while keeping pr

It's slightly worse but a lot faster and better at dealing with spelling/syntax errors. Also, the LSP can render inline error messages and line markers on top of TS highlighting so not much information is lost by just using TS hig

Most utilities I use daily have --long-flags for all of these. Using completion (prferrably https://github.com/unixorn/fzf-zsh-plugin ) you can complete them pretty quickly and without knowing the precise name.

You can use the tmux API or a plugin like tmuxp[1] to load a pre-configured session (including running arbitrary shell commands and setting layout). Using this you could automatically spawn your ssh connections as nested tmux sessions. Obvi

For me personally it's the reverse. After 15 years of writing almost exclusively with vim (or vim-like) input scheme using anything else would really break my flow. Can you even do something like ct, (delete everything between current

I don't think there is a pre-packaged flavour of this. You'd have to use a plugin manager for neovim to install fzf.nvim, telescope and nvimtree. If you want to use nvim more extensively I'd recommend a config bundle like NvC
