They're great when you don't own a phone - when you can't use random 2FA "Apps".

As many USB-security keys can be used passkeys.

You don't need a phone to do 2FA :

Not all 2FA is TOTP or a similarly-open scheme.

I couldn't believe it when the "real" news headline was reported - destructively scanning books.

I thought this was one of the less plausible parts of the book, Sigh! :)

Down the pipe, I think it's medium likely we'll start destructively scanning humans. Wild stuff, honestly.

It's always seemed strange to me that it's so common for people to feel the need to have continuous ... radio/podcasts/tv.

It turns out there is a fair amount of research done on this, look into:

I used to have the MSDN Library installed on my computer, from a CD, and it was reasonable to program offline. We should bring that model back. (Not for Windows - Windows sucks now. But for whatever we're doing)

That’s how Von Neumann did his thang, with a tv blaring in the background

The more things change the more they stay the same I suppose

I have this thought everytime I'm at the beach...

Since moving to Wayland, I missed ST. While there are many terminals available, most seemed too bloated.

This has enough font support to be useful, but doesn't provide scrolling, tabs etc... similar in scope to ST.

This was reported for Blender/Wayland, they might be able to use a fix like this: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/commit/eaf63a35...

What benefits does this have over https://github.com/dandavison/delta ?

My own modal editing system for emacs:

After using evil-mode and meow, this is a system I've come up with that addresses issues I ran into with both.

Had a similar experience, tried to switch to Meow twice, it's really nice in most ways. But I found lack of vim-style repeat and accidental "dropping" the selection to be so unwieldy that I couldn't stick to using it.

Ended up writing an alternative to Meow which addresses the issues I had.

It's currently in review for Melpa, see:

This has also been going in in Libraries in Australia. Go to the library - toddlers Rush to play on the computer.

I wouldn't mind so much if it was available for those who wanted it but in my experience it tends to be central and noisy - difficult to avoid if that's not what you're after.

Something they missed out with the GitLFS cons is authentication, if you don't use SSH-agent, pushing involves authenticating multiple times, sometimes more than 2-3 times in my experience.
