Vim swap files (.swp) are periodically saved out to disk. In the event of a crash, reopening a file will present you with a screen asking if you want to recover the file. I doubt it’s character by character, but I’m sure vim has a setting to speed it up

Feels like generated AI art like this is modern clipart

I still think Anthropic should've bought Clawdbot/OpenClaw. Feels like a missed business opportunity to expand your market share by capitalizing on the hype.

The tmux usage referenced at the end of the article was fascinating to watch. I’d never considered using tmux as a way of getting more insight into how an agent is working through a problem. Or to watch it debug something

Unrelated but I really enjoyed the wavy text effect on “opinions” in the first paragraph

Sorry, I don’t understand this analogy

Could you explain the difference?

The folks at SaySomethingIn, that originally started with Welsh and other Celtic languages, have recently expanded to Japanese. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve found some decent success with one of their other courses. It’s all about spaced repetition and focuses exclusively on listening and speaking.

I think it’s not just the camera LED, but the indicators that appear on screen, like the amber, green, or blue dots that appear in the menu bar when the microphone, camera, or screen recording are accessed by apps.

New comment by linux2647 in "Show HN: Modest – musical harmony library for Lua"

linux2647 — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 04:13:56 +0000

I wrote something like this for fun years ago, although I don’t think I published it. I think my library had a scale defined by a root note and a set of steps. A chord could be constructed from a scale and a root note, with modifiers such as inversions and others like X7, Xb5#13, etc. The scale has the blueprint and the notes follow. You already have the primitives with notes and intervals.

Parsing chords from notes is more difficult, as are most parsing tasks.

How to parent/be a parent. I don’t have much choice in the matter, as my firstborn is coming this spring ^_^

I’ve definitely been memory limited on a 32GB MacBook Pro. Though it’s probably due to Docker, Slack, multiple IDEs, and dozens and dozens of browser tabs all open at the same time. Consider me part of the exception.

It was created back when Fandom was Wikia, back when it was a good place to host a wiki
