    Beneath the large obvious green 'Subscribe' button there is some low-contrast grey text ('Continue reading') that, when clicked, hides the box. This is on Substack's side, not the …

    Workman [0] was designed to be used on an ortho keyboard, though it is also usable on a normal keyboard. I suppose it's tricky to design for many modern features as they are not ye…

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but that code seemingly only applies to kernel packages, i.e. packages which are made by the gren team [1] Seems more like a check to make sure the version…

    It looks like they have a word (or multiple) for each letter of the alphabet. So CD is "change drum", git clone is " guest ice traps space cap look [Ctrl right - autocomplete]", wh…
