If you’re willing to try Neovim I’ve been using xcodebuild.nvim for a couple of years (for macOS not iOS, but they’re both supported).

There have been other attempts; Commit Mono uses a slightly different approach: https://commitmono.com/ (don’t know which came first)

Funny, I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or sincere because I can’t tell the difference between that car and a Mustang or a Charger from the same decade.

Everyone telling you that it's fast because iTerm2 is slow. Terminal.app is already faster than iTerm2 and on par o very close to most other alternatives in terms of speed.

I also used Terminal until recently and don't use any of the advanced features alternatives provide. The main reason to switch from Terminal.app is truecolor support. The terminfo thing is annoying but I just setenv TERM in ssh config. Better split panes is nice. Configuration in a text file is a matter of taste, but documentation is good.

> Playlists are ok, but heavily recommending entire albums is bizarre. Its like trying new foods by going to Costco. It would make more sense to select top picks from an artist.

Strongly disagree. It’s probably a generational thing but I listen to music in albums, not in popular hits. This was by far the main reason I used to use Rdio instead of Spotify.

I was clearly only responding to this part, which is still useful information. Nowhere I said there is no issue, there is no need to always nitpick on everything. I'll go back to not commenting on anything for another year.

I just tried creating a new vault and it created a .opvault. It became the default with version 6.1, released in Nov 2015 https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/OPI4#v6100...

That style is usually called “single story a”. Monaco is a common monospaced typeface that uses it. I suspect that style is less common because at small sizes it's easily confused with o.

You don't need to imagine it, you just need to look around and see what other people do instead of only considering your own use case.

I only used Silver Efex. It's more flexible and powerful than basic Lightroom and more specialized than Photoshop. It's great for black and white work, it is a tool specifically made for photography, not a general purpose one.

I could see preferring svn to git because of the simpler model, but cvs? No thanks, a vcs without atomic commits is not much better than snapshot archives, maybe worse actually.

Yeah but when you found the wheat you still need to know how to make bread.

Doesn't this describe all web browser development of the past 15 years?

Is GPG security through obscurity, since it only relies on you not knowing my private key?

We also tried tablets 20 years ago. And VR 30 years ago. And electric cars 140 years ago.

I don't really believe this project will work, but your argument is rarely a good reason not to try something.
