    Glad to hear it! I found that Sash forward switching works about 97% of the time, but still occasionally has a hiccup. Have not been able to pinpoint a cause yet, but I find that e…

    Information and entertainment are less scarce today than the 1960s. Expensive is not just relative to what it used to cost, but also relative to value.

    Added reverse hotkey setting (defaults to none). Jitteriness has also been addressed. New release available on GitHub. Please set the forward shortcut again too.

    As a counterpoint, perhaps there is a sort of "natural selection" which will drive better abstractions due to being more token-efficient. Albeit perhaps a relatively smaller effect…

    Glad you find it useful. I found cmd+backtick broke in many other situations too. Was driving me mad.

    Didn't think reverse cycling was worth it since most apps only have a few windows open. Any use case you have in mind?

    Wish I had the courage to do this too.

    Show HN: Sash – tiny macOS utility to reliably cycle through app windows

    macOS's built-in cycle window shortcut (⌘` / ⌘@) has always been flaky for me. Probably not a Show HN, but if it annoyed me this much it might be annoying some others. Only tested …

    what are the default values, in case someone wants to restore them?

    Love the irony: Man builds a Gemini-style feed aggregator for small web, finding it, well, not so small.

    In case it was not clear, that is exactly my point: a language designed for Japanese could open up the possibility of incorporating symbols other than those readily available on QW…

    I can't speak to Korean, but thinking about Japanese, one probable reason it wouldn't catch on is how tedious and inefficient it would be to constantly switch between input modes. …

    Zooming out before taking screenshot and the text is no longer obfuscated. I tried and confirmed it works. In fact, the text is perhaps even more readable than the original.

    Essentially agree. Nonetheless, if reports are to be believed the post-rule change decline is significant, and I can’t help but wonder how big of a positive feedback loop—in other …

    Japan has required amortization of capitalized software over five years for qualifying internal-use software since at least 2000. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe most other …

    I had the same thought. Still, perfect or not, I bet it'll be an attractive option for some. I guess our gmail content has been fed into an AI of sorts since many years ago. I woul…

    I've suggested this elsewhere too, but have you considered a mailing list instead? It ticks the boxes about notoriety—which appears to be the main concern of the OP author—with the…

    Agreed. We try to use browsers standard features whenever possible. Despite looking into using the built-in validation, it's never been worthwhile. Too many gotchas, and we end up …
