Network effect, same as for most social things. Perhaps the EU will force interoperability, but they seem more focused on "save the children" style control and monitoring.

That mirrored mode is interesting and made sense to me even before I read the explanation. I'd assumed it only makes sense for using the left hand and that using just the right would need a different version of the keyboard, but there doesn't seem to be a flipped version.

Going into more detail would be helpful: Do you get an error? Do some settings restore or change? How old is your backup (i.e. from what version of Voyager)? Android or iPhone (before and after)? Are you selecting a file from your device, or trying to use from cloud storage (Google Drive, Nextcloud, etc)?

Two months after suffering her injury on the final season of Game of Thrones, Casey Michaels was one of 80 performers asked to contribute £300 towards a gift for Irlam for keeping the team safe. Although they were told the collection, which potentially raised £24,000, was voluntary and would “not impact any future employment,” Michaels believes the opposite is true. “Everybody knew there would be repercussions for not paying,” she says.

This Rowley Irlam comes across like a corrupt, arrogant arsehole.

I'm guessing by the recipes you mean Southern USA. I thought okra was from somewhere in Asia, but Wikipedia tells me it's from East Africa (Ethiopia, Eritrea and "East Sudan" - which is kinda funny as there's a Sudan and South Sudan).

btw, you wanted cue not queue, as in cue cards, that's my cue, cue the music.

Are you saying you think it's ridiculous to end support "already"?

I think it's likely that anyone still using 486s isn't updating software anyway, so it's unlikely to matter aside from niches like retro devices. Luckily, open source means that if there's a genuine desire there'll probably be a fork to provide it.

Thanks, I knew I'd seen it before somewhere.

Nothing dates it more than the reference to Boing Boing.

Then the UK's equally dumb: it was 10:04 pm BST (GMT+1) cos daylight savings is a thing in most of Europe too. At least it's synchronised across Europe^[The EU is planning on killing daylight savings but I have no idea if the UK will do the sensible thing and go along when/if this happens] so you just need to remember that most^[thanks for making it more confusing, Mexico] of North America changes a few weeks earlier.

Also, the UK says GMT/BST which is nice and clear - calling both EST and EDT "Eastern Time" makes even more of a mess!

And yes, I've just rediscovered you can use footnotes, why do you ask?

 

This is old news, but no-one posted it at the time.

They released a bunch of new features, including error boundaries, each without as (simple but useful), exported snippets and er LLM-friendly documentation.

There's 24 new things in total, as it was a Christmas advent thing.

Title text:

Can you pass the nackle?

Transcript:

[Cueball is holding a pointer and gesturing towards a whiteboard that shows the chemical formulas HCOOH and CH₃COOH. Below these, respectively, are classic diagramatic representations of formic/methanoic acid [with an apparently accidental doubled bond between the carbon and the hydroxy group] and acetic/ethanoic acid; being, in turn, a single- and double-carbon chain molecule with a double-bonded oxygen (carbonyl group) plus an oxygen-hydrogen (hydroxy) upon one carbon of each, to form the full carboxyl grouping, and hydrogens completing all other expected bonds.]
Cueball: The two simplest carboxylic acids are hakoo and chuckoo.
Off-panel voice: No!!

The normal complaint new Zellij users have is that it has a lot of keybindings which are likely to conflict with programs like nvim or Helix that use a lot themselves. Before, the workflow was to lock Zellij with ctrl-g which let input go through to the focused shell/program.

The new mode has most of the keybindings behind the ctrl-g lock, e.g. a new tab is ctrl-g t n (instead of ctrl-t n). You can still use alt-(cursor) for changing focus and alt-n/alt-f for a new tiled/floating pane, but all other key presses get passed along.

You can switch between default and unlock-first (non-colliding) modes so if you need those alt shortcuts you can lock everything as before.

Plus some other nice features like being able to change modifier keys while running (via the Kitty Keyboard Protocol), and autoloading the new config when you edit the file.

Bacon v3 released (dystroy.org)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Bacon is a Rust code checker designed for minimal interaction, allowing users to run it alongside their editor to receive real-time notifications about warnings, errors, or test failures (I like having it show clippy's hints).

It prioritizes displaying errors before warnings, making it easier to identify critical issues without excessive scrolling.

Screenshot (from an old version I think):

v3 adds support for cargo-nextest, plus some QoL improvements.

v3.0.0 release notes

 

Getting later and later at posting these!
