Definitely has nothing to do with axing the staff

I have mixed feelings about the JSR requirement for explicit typing. Other than that, it is pretty great!

Curious what the issue you were running into was? I’ve been using stow for my dotfiles for at least 8 years now and have been loving it the whole time.

Using the GNU stow utility makes this super easy. It even has a --dotfiles flag so you can author your dotfiles as dot-zshrc and when the utility symlinks it, it will be .zshrc. Makes it nice so your source files are not hidden but the actual dotfiles are (as expected).

That he is orange is just a fact. What makes him a bad man is everything else he does.

You should check out mise (https://github.com/jdx/mise), it is very similar to ASDF (multi langs) but written in Rust instead of Bash, and doesnt use the shim technique that ASDF does. My shell startup went from a couple hundred ms to a couple dozen ms.

If Apple was a monopoly, sure. But Apple is not a monopoly.

For your blog, jquery is totally fine and reasonable. Jquery for a web application? That is going to be way more of a headache. It all depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.

It is the default message platform on iPhones, that is what makes it so special.

Curious what you think makes it better than other examples out there? How is it different than Active Record or Prisma?

TIL thanks for explaining

As far as I can tell, Firefox Focus has no tab support, which means it is a non-starter. How can you use it as a browser if it has no tabbing?

This is most likely going to be the push I need to get me over to Playwright. I really like the Cypress API, particularly `cy.intercept`, compared to some of the Playwright equivalents. I'm sure that is just because I am used to Cypress now, and eventually I'll feel the same about Playwright.

I cringe every time I see the Sherwin Williams logo. It is a bucket of paint being dumped on the earth. Imagine if BPs logo was just an oil spill

yt-dlp has been awesome, but one thing I [admittedly havent tried to solve and] don't like about it is that it seems to default to unusual container types when downloading.

When using yt-dlp, I get a .webm file, and when asking for audio only using `-x`, I get an .opus file. Is there any reason for this?

The environment will be fine. They want to kill people now in order to hopefully save people from dying in the future.

How this is not a parody is beyond me.

It’s all making sense now, we kill half the population today by stopping all oil consumption so then maybe in the future they won’t die.

It doesn’t. Both sides need to work together towards a common goal. If only one side is doing it, nothing will change.
