<p>It's not just configs though, as there is some logic implemented via shell that could not be handled entirely in configs. "Window Manager" was chosen as it the logic imposes a specific layout without necessarily preventing you from using other configuration options. It's almost solely layout management and keyboard shortcuts to assist.</p>

<p>I think the key distinction is the consistent layout (main pane + stack) along with keyboard shortcuts to manage. To me it's similar to running vanilla X{11,org} vs using a window manager (hence the name). A vanilla configuration will work just fine but sometimes a constrained or opinionated environment gets more out of your way and better fits your preferred workflow.<p>If you already have a robust tmux workflow with a desired layout (or lack of layout) and custom keyboard shortcuts then this may not work for you. It's just one way to manage panes/windows in tmux that I hadn't seen before and different from the usual ad hoc methods.<p>Like most window managers, I think it's all preference. What're your current preferences for pane layout, window management, etc? Do you always create/layout panes in the same way or is it situationally dependent?</p>

<p>Through this project I realized that there's just some limitations to a plain tmux config.

<p>For me, personally, the value was in have something similar to a window manager for the terminal. As I was constantly spawning, killing, and reorganizing panes, a tiling-based approach gave me more control over my terminal and allowed me to perform complex operations without having to memorize or execute multiple commands. My use of a terminal is not static and therefore having a more dynamic option made my life easier.<p>This is really just a personal project that I wanted to share in case others might like to try it.<p>I will add that, especially at the time of creation, I was heavily in the 'unix is my IDE' camp. A terminal window manager was a logical next step to that notion. As someone called out below, I even used `ed` as my main editor for a while (which was as bad as it sounds).</p>

<p>Hey, HN! With all recent agentic workflows being primarily terminal- and tmux-based, I wanted to share a little project I created about decade ago.<p>I've continued to use this as my primary terminal "window manager" and wanted to share in case others might find it useful.<p>I would love to hear about other's terminal-based workflows and any other tools you may use with similar functionality.</p>

<p>This was helpful in clarifying to me how dangerous Yarvin and those who follow his beliefs are to normal people. As stated in the AMA, he believes everything he says. We have substantial documentation of extreme proposals, including turning the lower class into biodiesel or simply locking them in prisons where they can live out virtual lives. How did we get to the point where a cyberpunk dystopia is our definition of an optimal society? How do you counter a movement funded by the most wealthy and powerful people in the world who solely want to use their influence to exact control without empathy? How to we get to a post-ironic world where we have sincere discussions about improvement and not just troll to create chaos to centralize control?</p>

<p>If you then delete from the Recently Deleted album it says that the photo “will deleted the selected photos from iCloud and all connected devices”.<p>Additionally, at least in iOS 17.5, the Recently Deleted album itself has a disclaimer at the bottom that says that “items will be permanently deleted.

<p>A quick look through Newegg shows 4 AMD AM4 motherboards (B550 and X570) with Thunderbolt (2 TB3, 2 TB4). None have two DP inputs. I didn't see any Intel (LG1200) with two inputs either.<p>Would you use a Maple Ridge (TB4) card instead of Titan Ridge?<p>I am impressed with Apple's ability to seamlessly handle all of these scenarios. Their product integration really does create a great experience within their ecosystem. I didn't expect my setup to work perfectly but I'm happy it gets most of the way there. I'm not pulling the trigger on Apple Studio Display but I'll be watching progress to see if it works.<p>My use case is an outlier, I guess: I'm in the Apple ecosystem for all personal stuff but use a Dell Latitude for work (TB3, GPU chokes on 5k but technically works) and have a beefy Windows desktop for gaming and personal development work in WSL. I love the idea of just plugging a single cable into whatever system I'm using at that moment.</p>

<p>I actually did the exact same thing. Went with the ProArt B550 and didn’t consider that the LG 5k requires two video connections to the graphics card. This[0] eventually helped me realize my mistake. Currently running in 4k and it’s fine. At least camera, speakers, and hub work.<p>0: <a href="http://johnwilger.com/2019/01/27/lg-utlrafine-on-linux-gnome3-gdm3.html" rel="nofollow">http://johnwilger.com/2019/01/27/lg-utlrafine-on-linux-gnome...</a></p>

<p>The Hey onboarding today is tied to a website-driven invite and signup process. While that _could_ be a bad customer experience through some lens, what percentage of users following this flow are or will be downloading this app prior to signing up?<p>In a larger sense, Apple seems to be saying that, at least for consumer apps, they have an expected user flow from launch/beta through purchase. That flow makes Apple the primary channel and pipeline. If you have a multi-channel app (web + app, in this case), they want the main experience through the app regardless of business model or context. This makes the customer experience argument seem like misdirection.</p>

<p>In a previous life I worked with the Department of Education for a certain state. Their head graphic designer, Fred if I remember correctly, was about 70-something and had Parkinson's. He was able to churn out amazing work using the mouse and Wacom tablet. His wife, who also worked at the DoE, would touch up his work and clean up anything caused by the tremors. Quite an amazing team.<p>He was also a jazz piano player in private. He created a setup where he used his electric organ as a midi controller in GarageBand. He would record himself playing and, once through, would clean up the extra notes using the note view.<p>I'm very happy to see technology moving forward to help those whose conditions otherwise prevent or obscure the great things they're capable of!</p>
