This is brilliant, I hope we see loads more of these edits.

I do if I can raise the laptop up so that the screen is where it should be for good ergonomics.

It's the meme version of a laugh track

Copper is antimicrobial, so it's a pretty nice feature to have on a keyboard - you won't be catching MRSA from these keycaps! Unfortunately copper's way too expensive to be used in hospitals (or on my keyboard).

I just watched Hit Man, which claims there aren't any such thing as hit men in real life - clearly that's not the case!

"Commentator posts hot take, demonstrating a massive lack of empathy to people doing a stressful and important job."

I guess some people might go with f-s-tayb, but I wouldn't necessary recognise what they were saying.

True, most updates I don't actually care about. I haven't had any updates cause problems yet, but I like that I could choose to not enable updates on anything with a bad history (or critical stuff where I don't want to run the risk).

Yes, I still have it showing up in Windows/Android, and phone numbers show their cost per minute.

I have a load of credit on there still (got tricked by them deactivating my credit and topped up unnecessarily). I still use it for international calls at least once a month, I hope this news story is overblown.

This is one of my favourites, despite the lack of Hobbes.

 

This is old news, but no-one posted it at the time.

They released a bunch of new features, including error boundaries, each without as (simple but useful), exported snippets and er LLM-friendly documentation.

There's 24 new things in total, as it was a Christmas advent thing.

Title text:

Can you pass the nackle?

Transcript:

[Cueball is holding a pointer and gesturing towards a whiteboard that shows the chemical formulas HCOOH and CH₃COOH. Below these, respectively, are classic diagramatic representations of formic/methanoic acid [with an apparently accidental doubled bond between the carbon and the hydroxy group] and acetic/ethanoic acid; being, in turn, a single- and double-carbon chain molecule with a double-bonded oxygen (carbonyl group) plus an oxygen-hydrogen (hydroxy) upon one carbon of each, to form the full carboxyl grouping, and hydrogens completing all other expected bonds.]
Cueball: The two simplest carboxylic acids are hakoo and chuckoo.
Off-panel voice: No!!

The normal complaint new Zellij users have is that it has a lot of keybindings which are likely to conflict with programs like nvim or Helix that use a lot themselves. Before, the workflow was to lock Zellij with ctrl-g which let input go through to the focused shell/program.

The new mode has most of the keybindings behind the ctrl-g lock, e.g. a new tab is ctrl-g t n (instead of ctrl-t n). You can still use alt-(cursor) for changing focus and alt-n/alt-f for a new tiled/floating pane, but all other key presses get passed along.

You can switch between default and unlock-first (non-colliding) modes so if you need those alt shortcuts you can lock everything as before.

Plus some other nice features like being able to change modifier keys while running (via the Kitty Keyboard Protocol), and autoloading the new config when you edit the file.

Bacon v3 released (dystroy.org)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Bacon is a Rust code checker designed for minimal interaction, allowing users to run it alongside their editor to receive real-time notifications about warnings, errors, or test failures (I like having it show clippy's hints).

It prioritizes displaying errors before warnings, making it easier to identify critical issues without excessive scrolling.

Screenshot (from an old version I think):

v3 adds support for cargo-nextest, plus some QoL improvements.

v3.0.0 release notes

 

Getting later and later at posting these!
