They're now owned by infamously-litigious Microsoft.

It requires more precision than Swype, but GBoard supports multi-word word deletion if you swipe back originating from the backspace key. You get some haptic feedback, and can scrub to adjust the selected boundary.

Unfortunately some of those Swype nicities are patented [1], so other keyboards can't use them.

New comment by arusahni in "Surprise, pay $1000"

> We still use GitHub Actions but our monthly bill is now flat because we pay for a server.

Caveat here being that GitHub is exploring charging a usage-based fee for self-hosted GitHub Action runners [1]. While they've halted it for now, it's something worth being aware of as you assess your costs. This is probably a drop in the bucket compared to the order of magnitude savings you've described.

Oh nice! I guess they're back to features after finishing tackling their availability issues [1].

A "Steam for Movies" service (as expressed in an ancestor comment) is basically that, though. One doesn't own their Steam games.

In a society where women are being prosecuted for medical procedures, menstrual data becomes very risky to have handed over.

My favorite is when someone discovers they haven't yet granted Zoom screensharing permission, and that they need to exit the call to re-launch the application with the permission granted.

New comment by arusahni in "I found a useful Git one liner buried in leaked CIA developer docs"

arusahni — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 14:39:37 +0000

I use this alias:

    prune-local = "!git fetch -p && for branch in $(git branch -vv | awk '/: gone]/{if ($1!=\"\*\") print $1}'); do git branch -d $branch; done"

1. Fetch the latest from my remote, removing any remote tracking branches that no longer exist

2. Enumerate local branches, selecting each that has been marked as no longer having a remote version (ignoring the current branch)

3. Delete the local branch safely

New comment by arusahni in "Ask HN: Anti-AI Open Source License?"

arusahni — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 14:53:20 +0000

As others have said there are challenges with the core assumption that something can similultaneously be open source and restricted from being used in AI training.

That being said, here's a repo of popular licenses that have been modified to restrict such uses: https://github.com/non-ai-licenses/non-ai-licenses

IANAL, so I can't speak to how effective or enforceable any of those are.

New comment by arusahni in "Zed is our office"

arusahni — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 02:56:07 +0000

Agreed.

I joined a Zed hackathon at RustConf 2024 where I built the "Open in split" functionality from the file fuzzy picker. A member of the engineering team who was floating around helping folks had us exclusively work through the included collaboration features. It was a great tour of the editor, and did not feel tacked on.

New comment by arusahni in "Washington Post editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties"

arusahni — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 15:02:57 +0000

There are two additional recent ones mentioned in the article:

> On Oct. 15, the Post heralded the military's push for a new generation of smaller nuclear reactors. "No 'microreactor' currently operates in the United States, but it's a worthy gamble that could provide benefits far beyond its military applications," the Post wrote in its editorial.

> A year ago, Amazon bought a stake in X-energy to develop small nuclear reactors to power its data centers. And through his own private investment fund, Bezos has a stake in a Canadian venture seeking nuclear fusion technology.

and

> Three days after the nuclear power editorial, the Post weighed in on the need for local authorities in Washington, D.C., to speed the approval of the use of self-driving cars in the nation's capital. The editorial was headlined: "Why D.C. is stalling on self-driving cars: Safety is a phony excuse for slamming the brakes on autonomous vehicles."

> Fewer than three weeks before, the Amazon-owned autonomous car company Zoox had announced D.C. was to be its next market.

Edit to respond to your edit: these are the opinion pages, not reporting.

The PSF and several other organizations that provide public package registries wrote an open letter [1] announcing a joint effort to make this situation more sustainable. I'll be interested to see where it goes.
