I am sorry, but I can’t force myself to love new Figma cursors. What are those half-pixel offsets in the arrow? Why is the finger broken?

I like the idea in general, but why people who aim at nostalgia always do half-assed job recreating it?

(blurring seems to be screenshotting artifact, actual cursors are not blurred)

It’s always source to destination, from -> to, before -> after. Also known as the most natural order, with timeline going to the right.

In this picture it’s deliberately confusing because they call source “target”. Link that you create is a target.

Don’t thank me

@nikitonsky unfortunately in many assembly languages the Intel syntax (wrong order) is used. And it always makes me cry.

@nikitonsky thank you for this detailed explanation which I have already forgotten.

@nikitonsky On Windows it is the opposite actually 😅

mklink link target

where target is the source.

TIL: turn off “Smart zoom” in Trackpad settings to make right click instant (by default it has ~500ms delay)

IT IS SO MUCH BETTER

@nikitonsky @tandav а есть способ убрать задержку при переключении раскладки?

Rune Skovbo Johansen

@nikitonsky @tandav Delay must be in certain apps only? I have smart zoom enabled and in all the things I tested, right click was instant. In which app do you experience the delay?

So I was searching for “creative typography” the other day to prove a point in an argument, and thing I saw made me quite sad.

Out of 30 results, at least 10 are clearly AI-generated. Can you spot which ones?

Niki Tonsky

My guess would be these ten.

So we kind of already live in a world where you have to filter out machine-generated crap from real human work. And it’ll probably only get worse from here

So that’s why I was still seeing furry ads in Search!

(joking, I don’t use Google Search, Chrome and use uBlock Origin, of course)

If anyone wants to get commit rights to open-source repo and maintain it for two years before trying adding a backdoor, github.com/tonsky/rum is up for grabbing. Asking for a friend

Thanks to a fried who challenged me, dark mode on tonsky.me now hides pictures properly. It also remembers state between pages and glows in the dark!

Check it out:

@nikitonsky it would be nice if touch events also worked in darkmode on mobile.

@nikitonsky on Desktop it is awesome but on iOS it is unusable:(

Look, websites could be useful and not just a pretty stock picture. 2003 vs 2024

@nikitonsky not to mention that the older one was much more secure as it clearly shows a padlock

halva is

@nikitonsky nooo you must navigate at least 3 dozen menus located in random places scattered all across the site to do the same thing you used to do on the landing

@nikitonsky
what dns resolves ltl96.com?
im using 1.1.1.1 and the same over secure dns just in case it was getting snatched by my isp and tried my internet providers dns as well.

@nikitonsky I love the idea. 😍

I would much prefer if this was called `infix-math`.

The sane/insane, normal/crazy framing is unnecessary and hurtful for people with actual mental disabilities.

@nikitonsky That’s easy: press the left button three times, hold it for two more seconds, but no longer than four, press the right button without releasing the left, then after another two seconds, release the left b… wait, what?! 😅

@nikitonsky It seems they want to completely ruin the user experience. Same with YouTube, btw.

It is the second time I measure Zed typing latency and second time I find their claims to be the fastest completely unsubstantiated.

Sad. People might believe it and get excited for the wrong reason

Walter Tross

@nikitonsky I wonder who's ever felt the need for less typing latency in a local editor. The claim is not only unsubstantiated, but also useless, IMO. Typical marketing hype.
