This is exactly why I'm considering using atuin also. My zsh history on my mac will sometimes just completely disappear and then I have to go lookup what I was trying to do again. It is driving me crazy.

They can, with enough money. The problem is that these will need to be sold at an even steeper discount so that throwing enough money at the renovation makes sense. That means whoever currently holds the loan will eat a huge loss, whether there is a conversion to residential or not.

My Fortune 500 employer has been in a hiring freeze for the last 1.5 years.

Agree, and I do the same. So many books, so little time.

Unity has lost $455 million dollars in the first 6 months of the fiscal year 2023. They lost $919 million in 2022. I don't think they have ever made a profit. Companies are not charities; they exist to make money, and Unity doesn't by a mile.

I would think Google would want this in Brave and Edge also. Google will want to advertise to the users of these browsers even though they aren't using Chrome.

I wonder how Brave and Microsoft Edge will handle this change. Are they also going to ship this "feature"?

I worked these out a while ago. I think on some sites, an iframe will still show, but will be empty. My second rule and this one probably do the same thing.

I have these 2 custom filters in Brave, and haven't seen this popup since:

I think the mailing list flow is a hindrance to attracting the next generation of contributors.

joobus — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 12:21:27 +0000

I am an Emacs enjoyer. My biggest issue with Emacs is that development is still done via a mailing list and patches. I wish they would adopt a Git front-end (web UI) workflow.

New comment by joobus in "Reddit Strike Has Started"

joobus — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 17:54:53 +0000

The third-party apps shutting down on July 1st will be the real test. If Reddit notices a significant drop in traffic on that day, they will probably start walking back the change. I agree that this boycott, while the intention is good, won't do much.

joobus — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 02:38:08 +0000

> Most annoyingly, a lot of websites have custom keyboard shortcuts, so you have to blacklist them in the Vimium config.

No, you just need to enter insert mode. Hit `i`, then all the keyboard shortcuts for the site work. Exit insert mode with escape or ctrl+[.

New comment by joobus in "Acceptance of evolution by high school students: Is religion the key factor?"

joobus — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 19:22:16 +0000

There are no reproducible scientific experiments proving evolution. Evolution is as much a religion as all the others.

It is not a well-picked name.

Long hours, low pay, and tolerates verbal abuse from a boss with a filthy mouth.

joobus — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 13:26:00 +0000

You're missing a very key point of this work:

> Carbohydrate restriction is currently the only whole-foods approach that can reverse a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.

Carbohydrates break down to glucose in the bloodstream, the same as pure sugar. For a large and growing number of people, low-carb diets are not simply a means of weight loss.

There is a cli tool to run postman collections: https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman

You still have to create the collections in Postman, however.

Weev went to jail for publishing data AT&T left on the open internet.

The reality is lawsuits cost money, whether the defendant is right or wrong. In America, the process is the punishment.
