<p>it is pretty fun I was surprised. It's just nice it's so pocketable. I thought it'd be too small but I turn the font up so I am constantly flipping and I don't seem to notice. The page flips are fast<p>But also, I didn't understand how much the lightness is amazing. A kindle is light and one handable but it's noticable, this is so light I just can hold it up. I've heard in the ultralight mouse (for gaming), there's a point you just feel like you're moving your hand and don't notice the mouse. This is how I feel for this and it's worth something</p>

<p>I have found that the most reliable way I like is to just construct the command externally and then pass to gnu parallel (mostly for --eta and --tmuxpane). And the great thing is, as others say, xargs -I. I prefer for shortness (and few collisoins), '@'<p>seq 1 10|xargs -I@ echo 'bash run.py @'|parallel -j 10<p>I know the echo is a little silly but then I can remove the |parallel and see if it's right. And if I don't want parallelism, I just pass to bash</p>

<p>Not yet I'll post later, need to make sure I didn't hard code anything<p>I need to talk to claude and read the oauth docs, but when I kept it entirely client side, I had to reauth/re login with gmail every ~ hour.

<p>also the nice thing about making personal apps is I can make it entirely keyboard shortcut oriented and harcode the vimium like navigation (f, then modals pop up, then click to go to that email). I got the loading down time to feel instant</p>

<p>I made a version of this also bare gmail API -- not that I can't use imap but I often have emails related to tasks I want to keep open. But if I have many GMail tabs open, it kills my ram.<p>I also habitually want to open a new GMail tab to check for new email, but waiting for the heavy webapp to load takes forever. So a simple client-side only app which calls the gmail api for the top 20 emails and allows to search (so find the email and then leave that tab open) works great</p>

<p>This is niche and HN is full of these back and forth comments. One thing which a particular type of crowd will appreciate is being able to apply simple patches to constantly-up-to-date packages.<p>For an example, I love atuin but it, by default, skips commands starting with space. Currently it's not configurable and while I wait for time to submit a PR or for the issue to be resolved, make a single line `patch` which just removes the part of the `if` statement which checks if it starts with space. So easy, took 5 minutes (also had to comment out 1 test).<p>And now on home-manager debian or nixos server, I get up to date atuin with that one patch. It downloads rust, etc, compiles, and then that's garbage collected away</p>

<p>For intersect I also wonder if you add a filter that the books are within the top rated. Like if I give my favorite books and want to find someone who has my same taste, it doesn't help if they hated (all/most/some) of those books. Tricky in that not all users give star ratings</p>

<p>Keep in mind that default Gmail allows webhooks for any changes (email received but also changing labels, etc), for free using Gmail pubsub. I use it a lot because it's the only way of getting programmatic notifications from credit card purchases (turn on purchase alerts to all cards, send to Gmail, have a filter archive but capture the reception in webhooks. Parse with simple regex)<p>Super fast low latency very satisfying. Pubsub scales well and free :)</p>

<p>Is that true? I have no perspective but it's relied on by diabetics and if since they can't regulate it themselves, if the readings are off and they gave themselves insulin, they would know it is wrong. Maybe the OTC ones is different than the diabetic one but I didn't think so</p>

<p>This is a hack but I still found it helpful. If you do want to force a certain version, without worrying about flakes [1] this can be your bash shebang, with similar for nix configuration.nix or nix-shell interactive. It just tells nix to use a specific git hash for it's base instead of whatever your normal channel is.<p>For my use case, most things I don't mind tracking mainline, but some things I want to fix (chromium is very large, python changes a lot, or some version broke things)<p>```<p>#! nix-shell -i bash -p "cowsay" '(import (fetchTarball { url="<a href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/eb090f7b923b1226e8beb954ce7c8da99030f4a8.tar.gz" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/eb090f7b923b1226e8b...</a>"; sha256 = "15iglsr7h3s435a04313xddah8vds815i9lajcc923s4yl54aj4j";}) {}).python3'<p>```<p>[1] flakes really aren't bad either, especially if you think about it as just doing above, but automatically</p>
