IIRC the only data sent to Apple is the crowdsourced traffic data, which can be disabled. Everything else stays on device or is E2E encrypted.

I wrote a shell script [1] that allows me to write my own mini-man pages to capture things exactly like this. Whenever I have to do something non-trivial on the command line that I will 1) likely need to do again at some point and 2) don’t do often enough to commit it to memory, I simply create a new little note. They are viewable in the terminal just like normal man pages so the notes are trivial to read once written. It’s worked extremely well for me!

I wondered this too. In my experience, "fabric" typically refers to the programmable logic region in a FPGA-based SoC (such as the Xilinx Zynq). I'm assuming the M1 does not have this, so I'm not sure what it means in this context.

I agree with this, though I still use iTerm over Alacritty simply because iTerm’s font rendering is better (in my opinion).

Care to elaborate on your preference?

I think this is a great approach

That’s a real shame that lumail didn’t take off (I had never heard of it until now). I agree, embedding something like Lua or even Guile into Mutt seems like it would be very useful

The conditional option setting with MuttLisp will be very useful

Their App Store team is completely shooting the rest of Apple in the foot, and I’m amazed that no one there seems to realize this. They are burning good will faster than they can create it.

The general antipathy toward Trump though is not based on policy grounds, but rather his whole way of being. His casual disregard for truth and flagrant mendacity, his blinding narcissism, his disdain for international cooperation, etc.

Even if, as a progressive, you find Biden milquetoast and uninspiring, he at least isn’t an embarrassment to the office and to the country.

When I lived in Austin I took the bus almost every day without issue. Austin has the best public transit in all of Texas (though that’s admittedly a low bar).

Agreed, as Vim/Neovim has risen in popularity recently it seems there is a trend of people thinking it’s only usable if you install these 57 plugins, and a large number of these users seem to have blind spots on Vim’s native capability.

The autocomplete feature is a great example of this. I do not use an autocomplete plugin at all, but rather use Vim’s native ins-completion. Combined with a language server and a lightweight LSP client (I use vim-lsc) this works beautifully.

I am excited for some of the upcoming changes in neovim however. I think the introduction of treesitter for syntax highlighting and a native LSP client will both be huge

Is Microsoft any better than Google?

As an outsider from Europe, you seem to understand the situation here better than most Americans.

mutt can probably do something like this with its send-hook [1] feature. Another alternative is to send emails as multipart/alternative with a plaintext part and an HTML part. That way, recipients who use an HTML email client will see the HTML and plaintext readers will see plaintext.

This is what I do at work. My work uses Outlook which does not support format=flowed [2], meaning my plaintext emails would look weird to colleagues who use the standard Outlook settings. Outlook will also default to responding in plaintext to a plaintext email. To avoid forcing my preferences on my colleagues, I now use an automatic filter [3] to convert my plaintext emails into HTML using a Markdown parser. My email client then sends both parts: the HTML and plaintext part as a multipart/alternative email.

This actually happened to me when I was an intern (many years ago). My official job offer went to spam and I didn't see it until weeks later. Fortunately I happened to check the spam folder and saw it. I now make it a habit to regularly check the spam folder in Gmail and I often find non-junk mail in there.

Nextcloud now has Live Photo support

Where do you see this delay? I have not had this experience, Bitwarden has always been perfectly snappy for me.

Wrong. From the article:

> Also, because there's gaps in that ultra-lightweight nanotube scaffolding and less extraneous binder and additive materials, a battery containing a given amount of active material can become much, much lighter and more compact. Energy density, both by weight and by volume, stands to jump by factors of 2-3.

> But I think this is something which needs to be handled by governments (laws/regulations) not by apple forcing their opinion about what is right onto everyone else by abusing their marked positions.

Why should governments force their opinion about what is right onto everyone else? Why not allow freedom in the market so that users can choose what matters most to them? Right now, Apple is serving the market of those opposed to tracking and in favor of greater privacy. If it turns out this is what consumers want and are willing to pay for, competitors will feel pressure to follow suit. No heavy handed government regulation needed.

Nurses, doctors, firefighters, parents, and a number of other professions around the world are well versed in adjusting their sleep schedules as needed. I don’t think your circadian rhythm is as fixed as you think it is

That works when specifying a backup extension, but not if you don’t want to create a backup file.

    sed -i ‘’ ...

works on BSD sed but not GNU. Meanwhile:

    sed -i’’ ...
    sed -i ...

both work on GNU but not BSD.

Because the -i flag works differently on GNU sed vs non-GNU sed and there is no way to use it portably.

Amazingly, there is no portable way to use -i that works on both GNU and BSD sed implementations. Which means if you’re writing a portable script, you can’t use -i at all.

(Would love to be proved wrong on this)

You’re right that defaulting to the GNU coreutils is probably more convenient. However, NOT doing this is a good way to ensure that any scripts you write remain portable and don’t use GNU extensions. That’s the reason I stick with the default BSD coreutils on macOS.

Re: bat. I agree with you, I don’t get the hype over this program either. It’s pretty easy to configure 'less’ to use syntax highlighting and ‘less’ is installed basically everywhere.

The main advantage of rg is how much faster it is than grep. It’s WAY faster.

I don’t use direnv but I have colleagues who do. I think the idea is that it can set environment variables/run arbitrary commands when you cd into a certain directory (such as activating a Python virtual env, for instance).

Honestly one of the most well maintained projects I’ve ever used. The author has a coherent “philosophy” and vision of how the program should work and does a good job of preventing feature/scope creep. Don’t see that too often

Note that in general this is not a one-to-one replacement. `%!cmd` sends the current buffer contents to `cmd`’s stdin and replaces the buffer with `cmd`’s output. In the case of ‘ls’ this works since it doesn’t take anything on stdin
