One more announcement this week. Almost certainly MacBook Pro.

M4 Air should be in the spring.


  * * 3p-script block
  * * 3p-frame block
...various other block lists, but that is the good one.

Spend a week or so unblocking various global CDNs and services.

Sometimes I have to hit my hotkey for `Relax blocking mode`.

It is more work, but it is beautiful.

===

Known as hard mode.

I switched, maybe 2018? The _only_ reason it happened was because of the shitty MacBook keyboards. There wasn’t any good way to avoid them.

So I got a used Dell 9360.

Sway and wayland.

Changed the way I use the computer. Switched back to Mac with the ARM MacBook (and working keyboard).

I use both very similarly and am comfortable on both OSes. But for now, Apple Silicon is _very_ nice.

Also, just having all the devices and suspend work. I will take that as a side benefit.


It is, Yabai can do it. I am currently using autoraise. Both work great, barring UI weirdness of macOS.

Example. Mousing over another window on the way to the menubar.

Oh, I like the fake Spaces approach.

I have considered trying that by minimizing windows, but would never get around to it.

Tiling is doomed to sadness on macOS, because of lack of APIs. But this is probably the most performant approach.

Have used yabai, but only for moving windows and focus-follows-mouse. Not for tiling. Because flaky (not yabai’s fault).

Thanks nikitabobko.

Looking forward to trying it as soon as I figure out how to mod alt-tab to ignore all the windows (from every fake workspace) in the corner.

Also, linked in the docs, JankyBorders. Nice.

I get around that by using the Stack and I flip between windows with alt+h/alt+j

Command+Tab is global window switch. The ones above are for "local" switching in the context of the workspace.


Oh, I know. I use sway — and greatly miss alt-tab (windows-style alt-tab), when I do.

Not linux-primary right now.

I can remember my linux-style stacking commands in order to try it.

But I would want to fix my alt-tab at some point.

Note: my sway (or mac) usage is basically two vertical windows or stacks of panes on a laptop screen. So a pretty simple setup.


you can get windows-style alt-tab with https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/


Right. Got it, love it.

But it won’t work with AeroSpace.

I mean, it will work, but it won’t work with all windows from _visible spaces_.

Because ever window from _every space_ will be in the current space (tucked in the lower right corner).


ah, right! Apparently I didn't read your first comment properly, sorry about that.


How many hours of screen-on time do you get in those three days?


"Screen-on" is a meaningless term in the context of eink.


1. The feed looks fun and well done. I’m going to add one and see if I like it.

2. Feed validation gives a recommendation.

https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fww...

Also, it gave some sort of redirect error for several minutes after feed creation. It disappeared on refresh, so I can’t give details.

3. Would be nice to have a (probably not ai, sorry) filter for only front page articles, or only articles over a certain number of votes or comments.

4. Your blog has no rss feed.

5. There is no `<link rel="alternate" ...` for the rss feed in the preview page.

Anyway, I like it. The scraper day-job looks neat, too.


Can we have a link to your chromium build with unloading?

Or is it private?


Min is cool and I don't want to plug here (to keep my original comment informational).

I've heard good things about this extension (but use at your own risk, I don't install extensions besides uBlock myself):

Probably this (from parhamm’s profile)

https://synth.app/


That's interesting, I'll have to go take a deeper look. Seems similar to Memex (WorldBrain)


on a recent version of Chrome, you can navigate to chrome://flags/#high-efficiency-mode-available to enable tab discarding.

You will then have to restart Chrome and enable the feature in settings.

I felt the same joy on reading the overview. Cleans up the git workflow so nicely.

...until I got to pull requests (Granted, that is github, not git). But it looks like you cannot generate a standard pull request with it.

https://sapling-scm.com/docs/git/intro#pull-requests

Haven’t tried it yet, looking forward to it.


I actually just created my first PR from a sapling repo now - not sure why it’s not documented, but you can push your local development branch to a remote server, and in the case of github, you even get the “it looks like you’ve just pushed a local branch, would you like to turn this branch into a PR?” prompt, and it appears indistinguishable from a branch created with the Git CLI.


The message generated with the hyperlink for creating a PR is actually done server-side, you can customize any git server to do this, more or less. So yes, it should behave approximately the same assuming you can just do the basic push interactions.


Reading the documentation quickly, it looks like you can generate a standard pull request, it's just that the PR may not conform to expectations if there are multiple commits.

Of course, when it comes to github PRs, there are so many different "styles" of pull request, I'm not even sure which one should be considered "standard".
