Very cool to see a man execute on his vision. Ghostty -> libghostty -> terminal multiplexing -> ???

Thank you for summarizing it this way. All their flowery language (esp from OP) seems like long for "we figure out how the chart should look based on its data". From their page: > …

What can you do on a Mac with Shortcuts vs AppleScript vs Hammerspoon?

That's cool, I hadn't heard of Squint, thanks! Looks lightweight. Another compile-to-js option that seems good is Gleam.

Hmm I already avoid Lua by writing in Fennel, I’ll probably avoid the JS by writing… what Lisp compiles to JS, ClojureScript?

It's Rust vs Python in this case.

I type in Dvorak and frequently the iOS keyboard's swipe typing bugs out and acts as if the layout is in QWERTY. I kind of don't believe it will ever be fixed...

When I was learning Nim and learned how imports work and that things stringify with a $ function that comes along with their types (since everything is splat imported) and $ is mas…

The biggest thing I still don’t like about Nim is its imports: import std/errorcodes proc p(x: int) {.raises.} = if x I can’t stand that there’s no direct connection between the th…

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I will now think of Channels as queue + [mutex/communication guarantee] and not just queue. So in Go's unbuffered case (only?) a Channel is m…

One of the harms Go has done is to make people think its concurrency model is at all special. “Goroutines” are green threads and a “channel” is just a thread-safe queue, which Zig …

I wrote my shell prompt in Zig years ago in part because I was interested to use its async/await to run all the git calls in parallel for the git status. My prompt is still fast de…

It doesn't really matter who is more egregious, but IMO a country's leader pardoning his own family members is about as banana republic as it gets.

The pardon power has been so abused these past few administrations that it's clear there should be constitutional changes in the pardon power, either congressional review, or strip…

In my Zsh startup on Mac I had to worry about collation, as I expected ~ to sort last (I have a directory prefixed with ~ to load plugins that need to be loaded last). Idk why a lo…

I was soo excited when they announced this, but I've heard almost nothing since.

I gave it a glance at some point but don’t see why I’d use it. It’s just some dude’s config. I have my caps lock rebound to a “hyper” key so every important thing is one key combo …

I wonder how much of my Hammerspoon config I could replace with this... Edit: upon reflection, not much actually: https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/2eaeaecf76c22be3ecef5c8563...

curlie has had the best balance of ergonomics and power of all the cli tools I've tried. It's full curl underneath but provides a nice ergonomics layer that matches tools like http…

Figure I’ll add my own obscure bug that’s never fixed. Apple finally released a Dvorak keyboard for iOS. Except a lot of times it bugs out and stays in QWERTY mode just for swipe t…

Cool thanks for sharing! I'll have to check this out. I've wanted something similar. After trying a bunch of the usual ones, the only "notes system" I've stuck with is just a direc…

Had the same question, surprised it's not addressed in the faq.
