    the double questionmark `foo??` is sometimes also useful, since it'll show full source for the function/method/thing if you do it to a function.

    "ratio of open/total issues" can definitely be gamed by autoclosing anything that isn't an easy fix. "average time to resolution" is also susceptible. Both of these are pretty comm…

    After being annoyed by this (and a handful of persistent others) a few too many times, I ended up with the following ublock rules: www.youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-media.ytd-rich-ite…

    I don't think some sort of vaguely granular "last edited by XXX at YYY" annotations/tooltips/whatever would be too outrageous a feature to confuse everyone. If necessary, could tre…

    I've not really seen much actually using it in the wild, but I came across CriticMarkup[1] at some point in the past and had some idea of using it in some sort of copyediting workf…

    maybe I'm just doing it wrong, but having looked at these capabilities occasionally, they seem pretty weak. - There's no equivalent of "git blame" that I can find to see who/when a…

    Scratch Monkey may have some vague notions along those lines, if I remember rightly: https://www.antipope.org/charlie/fiction/monkey/index.html

    mitmproxy[1] in transparent mode, with a self-signed root cert added to whatever trust stores on devices/browsers/OSes you need to intercept, is where I'd start. I'm not sure how w…

    The last time I actively looked into it (granted, some months ago), it was somewhat hindered by https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/9309 causing it to re-evaluate sources quite a…

    A more specialised variant that's also quite common is the "window watchdog" peripheral, which is similar to the timer version, but will also trigger a reset if the keep-alive sign…

    At least some STM32s do, see page 89 of the STM32F4xx reference manual[1], the option bits 5:7 at 0x1fffc000 let you activate the hardware watchdog immediately following reset if y…

    if you have a common base system it might be possible to copy/rsync/untar the tools you need and then use them. Ideally you'd want to restart the container/pod once you're done to …

    you might be (unintentionally) conflating CLI tools with TUI ones. CLI by and large treat the terminal as something to read/write lines to, with maybe some rudimentary interaction …

    is there a backend in particular you've found to work? I've looked periodically for something in this vein, but the only one I can see right now is https://pypi.org/project/matplot…

    what form of USB-C PD is suitable for powering my 2.4kW electric kettle though?

    bonus fun if you're in a regulated industry and any BoM change is going to be, at the minimum, an external test-lab redoing all your certifications, and in the worst case, a brand …

    I'd be interested to hear more about what sort of challenges you have faced, and if/how you responded to them, if you have the time. Regardless of the upthread "well, just switch […

    even if I don't, I probably need to be able to understand and recognise them when other people do, in libraries/snippets etc that I depend on. Not specifically a new feature, but I…

    That's a good point, if you have a fairly small set of structures and you're mostly just adding/removing connections and changing labels, I can definitely see that working well. Ho…
