I used Zed a decent amount before it started being too in-your-face with AI features. Glad to see an option to disable it all, but at this point, I’ve become so much more efficient with Helix than I am with any graphical IDE. I wouldn’t lov

While it's missing the concavity of either the Glove80 or the Maltron, I've been so happy with the Keyboardio's thumb cluster (and palm keys) that I'm more than willing to overlook that regression. The Keyboardio's

TFA is actually the first time I've seen the peasant railgun interpretation that actually causes damage. Other conversations I've seen all concluded it wouldn't do any damage, which made it even funnier depending on your poin

This seems nice. I'll play around with it tomorrow. One thing that would be cool to see is the ability to list the gear you have and get custom suggestions. For instance, instead of "medium-coarse", the app could know which g

Which APIs are limited? I feel like almost every app I use could easily be a website. They don't seem to do anything especially fancy.

> Similarly vs older passwords is what would be an issue. Which isn't unheard of, though it's been years since I've seen it.

This comment reminded me of a talk I saw[1] about Apple's password generation algorithm. Apparently (and unsurprisingly), they have a list of offensive terms the system is designed to avoid. I expect this is common-enough practice in m

While I doubt you’re unique in this, I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone say they hope there’s no such thing as free will. Can you explain why you hope everything is deterministic?

The problem is that almost everything, including basic web browsing, is straight-up worse on the iPad. Weird incompatibilities, sites that don’t honor desktop mode, tabs unloading from memory, random reloads, etc. all mar the experience.

I've installed the beta, and I really like how it looks and works. Like you said, it's not perfect, but I expect the small gripes I have so far will be ironed out before long.

Is Mario art? Putting that question aside: why should an artist be required to make their creations free for anyone to use after a certain period of time? Why are their wishes at best secondary? Now, to be clear: I am pro-emulation. If some

Cars also let you carry stuff over distances that would be awkward/uncomfortable/impossible walking or cycling. They’re also more comfortable, particularly in inclement weather. I’d absolutely love if I could get away with having

The Aeropress almost feels like cheating. The Clever Dripper is similarly very nice and easy to use.

The backtick syntax for enums is rough, and typing out the full Type.case form negates one of Swift’s niceties (the ability to just type .case if the compiler can tell which enum is in use).

I've been looking forward to this since the original announcement (and before, really). On the modest codebase I tried it on (14k LOC across 126 files), it runs in 149ms compared to 1.66s in pyright (both run via uvx <tool>). I c

Looks promising! It doesn't work with my poetry environment, but I like what I see so far. Definitely something to watch.

Pardons like that one really fuel the conspiracy theories about how many executive actions in the Biden admin, particularly toward the end, were really carried out by the former President.

Amazon often tries to show me a dress store. I’m a guy, and I’ve never bought women’s clothing. On the surface, the ad makes no sense and is irrelevant—but what if I end up wanting to buy a dress for someone else? Then I might remember that

I've subscribed to Kagi for 2 years and subscribed to Perplexity for 2 months. I liked Perplexity a lot—in particular, I think its search AI search is faster and maybe a little better than Kagi's. But the lack of standard search a

Being a monopoly, in itself, isn’t illegal. The question is whether the company maintains its monopoly through illegal tactics or leverages that monopoly in illegal manners. (NYT really ought to add “illegal” to their title.)

I’m pretty excited for this to be added to ereaders, which notoriously (among people who care about this kind of thing) have terrible layout engines.

It's also interesting to notice how often comedies are also tragedies. My favorite modern example is Dumb and Dumber . If you remove the comedic timing and absurdity, it's a depressing story! By the end, Harry and Lloyd are desti

It definitely feels “heavy” on mobile Safari. The animation is buttery smooth, but the little space station thing doesn’t rotate as quickly as I feel it should based on my scroll velocity. I feel like I’m alone in not liking it. The technic

I think this probably depends on your definition of "freedom". If you mean freedom as in movement, then yes, 3D games were freer. If you mean freedom as in game design, then I'm having a hard time coming up with contemporary

In the original game, lots of important clues were at the sides of the screen. With VR, you have a perfect mapping of the center of your attention being the center of the screen. I wonder if this, coupled with smooth motion letting you see

Myst is one of my favorite games, but I never could get into realMyst. The idea was great at the time, but I thought the visual fidelity was lower (despite being ... "real"), and the click-based movement never played well. I did l

I really like this pattern, but unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to work with my LSP (pyright, in Helix), even when running my editor via uv (`uv run hx script.py`). I could always do `uv run --with whatever-it-is-i-need hx

The showstopper for us is our SCA vulnerability scanner doesn't work with uv yet :(
