Check out the other mouse options. I learned FreeCAD 1.0 entirely on trackpad (Mac, no middle click). Now, if the random crashing were fixed, that would make a real difference for …

I also like (and was lucky enough, as a young man, to find a physical copy of) Asimov's "An Easy Introduction to the Slide Rule." It's my favorite introductory text. PDF copies can…

Faber-Castell had new-old stock in the mid 20-teens, but they ran out (of stock or patience) around 2016–2018. Picked up a 2/83N for under $100, and I wish I'd gotten more. I'd sug…

I typically recommend LYAH ( https://learnyouahaskell.github.io/chapters.html ), followed by Real World Haskell (already mentioned).

I put those on the top or bottom desktop, but you could create a named workspace ( scratch ) and set up a keybinding to navigate to it.

Zen browser (which is derived from Firefox) does a really good job of making this the default (at the expense of mainly supporting vertical tab lists, which I've come to love).

Re. pane size, it's normal tiling behavior. Panes can be take the full screen or some percentage (I like 1/2, 2/3, and 1/3). If the widths add to 1, both panes fill the screen. If …

This is addressed on the linked page. Quote: We're using xwayland-satellite rather than Xwayland directly because X11 is very cursed. xwayland-satellite takes on the bulk of the wo…

I'm away from the computer at the moment, but I believe I'm on 0.1.3 [0]. Noting the release notes, it does have many animations already enabled (but I have some or all of them dis…

Fair enough. "Overview" [0] presumably solves this, though. [0] https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Overview

It's right of your editor, where it started. If you have (having had "Editor" focused, and just opened "TermT"): Editor | (TermT) | Term | Browser (FM) | Term | Browser | etc. (whe…

This seems like a good place to note the "center window" keybinding for windows that don't fit well in the screen (e.g., 2/3 wide pane next to 2/3 wide pane, or 1/3 pane on the rig…

Newly started applications receive focus, so they're visible by default. They are inserted right of the current view, so recovering the previous active pane is consistent ("left pa…

I'm still running an older version (ain't broke, won't fix), but I keep getting recommended the newer versions for features. I'll check them out eventually.

In the same boat with you. Not quite the same configuration (some version change issues, lost it once in an 'rm' accident that followed a symlink to / [I learned that day...] and h…

Niri convinced me to give up xmonad. I ran xmonad exclusively for 14 years. Being able to have an unlimited number of windows on a desktop (without continually switching the tiling…

Not saying I agree with you, but where do you think the training data came from? The internet is full of socially awkward albeit prolific writers.

Governments are overthrown regularly (I count 13 such cases just in the 2010s). Mine hasn't yet made it to the point where such actions are needed --- if and when it does, you may …

And fair enough. Nevertheless, it's not an ad hominem to attribute to the state a characteristic which has been observed in every form of government. Barring the newest (though COV…

Depends. For the Founders of the US, it was a base assumption that the state was a bad actor. It's usually a good bet (i.e., it pays off more times than not), IMHO.

Effectively and technically. A motor is not an engine.

Can you provide an example? I'm not sure how one would use it improperly...

I did the back of the napkin math below: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42697255 Barring mistakes, it balances if we had avoided reducing the planet's vegetation by 20% since…

But it might change what we view as a legitimate mitigation strategy. For example, could we burn oil at 2024's rates with 1900's forests and not have net-positive CO2 levels? Back …

Based on the official website[0], it would appear the package name is necessarily not quoted. This doesn't strike me as odd at all. It's an identifier, not a string. The quoting of…
