New comment by CaRDiaK in "Keyboard differences between Windows and Macs"

This irks me also, more than I'd normally admit. A couple of solutions I discovered over the years; one is to use `hidutil property --set` from the command line for UserKeymappings to overwrite the non us backslash to the backtick (I can't remember the specific codes for the keys, but you can find them online), however, this was cumbersome when occasionally using an external keyboard (I prefer ISO over ANSI) or if you restart the machine.

Eventually I settled on Karabiner Elements, an app that lets you create a simple modification specifically to target the Mac internal keyboard where you can map `non_us_backslash` (that strange unused key) to `grave_accent_and_tilde` which fixes this.

You might find OrbStack useful here as a replacement for Docker Desktop. So much faster and uses way less resources: https://orbstack.dev/

Apple did actually introduce its own container framework in Tahoe, but it’s still early days. https://github.com/apple/container

Because it’s faster, easier, safer and cheaper to transfer large volumes of capital than say loading a plane with gold or sending a bag of cash.

to add, in the latest version of MacOS / iOS you can import / export as Markdown, which is quite nice.

New comment by CaRDiaK in "Ask HN: Go deep into AI/LLMs or just use them as tools?"

CaRDiaK — Sat, 24 May 2025 11:06:14 +0000

Same. Yet being a generalist has always been the most interesting to me so I carried on that path. Ironically, now I can use an LLM for depth, I’m the one being asked how I manage to ship so much. It’s in part due to how I use LLMs for depth whilst relying on my natural breadth.

New comment by CaRDiaK in "Apple M4 MacBook Air review: I have no notes"

CaRDiaK — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 12:32:11 +0000

What I find disappointing about this revision is that the Air is portrayed as Apple's most portable machine, yet it still lacks the nano-texture option. I understand that this distinction between the Air and the Pro is intentional, but it seems somewhat counterintuitive.
