This is exactly yak shaving as well. The Urban Dictionary [1] defines it as: "Any seemingly pointless activity which is actually necessary to solve a problem which solves a problem…

This also came to my mind when I heard `rill`, coming from https://www.rilldata.com/ .

I'm loving it! So simple, yet exactly the thing needed to share a secret quickly in a secure manner over a non-secure channel, e. g. email. Still a fresh idea I've never seen elsew…

Biggest issues for me: Subscription based payments and (biggest issue) missing option to adjust the keyboard shortuts. So I have to adjust my workflow and muscle memory to the tool…

Also `yazi` https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi , which is the closest nnn-replacement on Windows up until now.

Not on every Thinkpad. On a T14s the FN and Ctrl keys have different sizes.

Reading the headline, I initially thought that Microsoft bought the company behind XLWings [1], which also enables you to use Excel directly within Excel, even locally. Not affilia…

I completely agree. I'm also trying to wrap my head around Nix on a non-NixOS system. My requirements are to just manage my dotfiles (successful with home-manager) and configuring …

Oh gosh, better not focusing on SpaceX and Tesla. He would destroy these two companies as well. As read somewhere (here at HN?), both have departments to distract Musk once he visi…

Anyone has some experience with Kivy [1]? It seems that it checks off some of my requirements, like cross-platform, supporting touch interfaces, ease of development, allows complex…

Sorry, but this is just not true. Meat was only a small part of the eating of our ancestors, as it still is for most tribal people. They hadn't an AK to shot at animals. So they sp…

I would also recommend "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" [1], as you are learning hands on with some practical stuff: from generating Excel-files to PDFs, from sending e-mail…

SingleFile [0] and SingleFileZ [1] are my tools of choice for archiving pages. Often using an adjusted version of the aardvark-bookmarklet for cutting out unwanted parts. [0] https…

Url for Textadept: https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/ It's a cross-platform, open source editor written and configurable in Lua.

Thank you for dockerizing it! Helpful to get it to run on modern hardware.

Another unusual alternative could be the V-language [1], depending on if you consider this a "sane language" ;-). Not having used it myself and obviously you have to consider other…

Well, I don't see the offensive part here. As you say it yourself: "It might be overkill for many simple use-cases." Period. No need to jump into every thread where a user says tha…

Well, there's a tool for every task and yours in this case might be too overblown for the simple task that the user is trying to solve. No need to compare it to the use at bigger c…

Sorry, but no: Calling the advance to Kyiv (fascist Russia clearly wanted to take the capital by storm), the slaughtering and war crimes in the suburbs and the hasty retreat with t…

Neovim [1]. Emacs with evil-mode work pretty well (IMO the best "vi-emulation" within other editors; the vi-plugin in JetBrains-IDEs works also quite well, though), however I learn…

I own a Tern Verge myself. Got already > 1'200 km tracked, although not using it that often. Beside some ... issues (a pedal broke, the brakes need some adjustments from time to ti…
