I’m grateful for having built-in debugger in all modern browsers, but you can’t deny that this UI is an absolute nightmare. I have no idea what belongs to what and where to click. Firefox/Chrome/Safari (latter is a tiny bit cleaner)

I just backed it and recommend you check it out, too. The amount of work and care seems astounding https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwichary/shift-happens

What an idea! Turn (almost) any Python command line program into a full GUI application with one line

Going all retro today. Input Mono + custom color scheme. WDYT?

@nikitonsky i really love Input font. But that yellow highlight of function names is screaming into your face a bit too loud.

Just soldered new keyboard! Helix rev3 with Kailh Choc V2 Low Profile Browns and NuPhy Coast Twilight keycaps. We’ll see how useful those rotary encoders can be (set for volume/scroll for now)

It looks... different. I like that it's split and that you can move the parts independently of each other. But you only have a single Ctrl key on the left? And what do those rotary keys do? Thanks
Niki Tonsky
Since everybody got so curious: I have to improvise with keycaps because they are from “normal” keyboard and I can’t use 1.25u or 1.5u keys in mine. Cursor arrows are on a layer, but under a single hand (very convenient). Full layout at https://github.com/tonsky/Helix-layout

Damn it! I had this very idea for a few years now, but haven’t got time. Well done! https://mastodon.online/@terhechte@mastodon.social/109762188554971985

@nikitonsky с днем рождения! Скоро будет пора бросать все эти юношеские забавы со скобочками и переходить на серьезные технологии 🥸

If I develop Clojure plugin but do it in Python am I still a Clojure developer? What scares me is that I’m getting good at Python

Slack notifications continue to remain a mystery to me. One might think that with settings like these you should see DMs or thread replies. Well, I do not! I wonder how supposedly professional tool could be so unreliable?

Clojure Sublimed now has its own built-in Clojure parser and deduces indentation, ns name and top-level form boundaries from it. For end-user, it means much faster formatting (8 sec on clojure.core -> 0.9 sec) and that you can use any syntax highlighting you want. Pull from master if you are brave enough, I’m going to use it for week or two to find if there are any rough edges

Every time they show these behind-the-scenes footage which is supposed to show how well emotions were transferred to 3D models, all I can see is that real person has 10x more detail and emotions on their face.

@nikitonsky from the other hand, you were never supposed to read emotions of alien species as good as you do with humans

If you have Glyphs.app, any font can have ligatures. Here, you can see Apple’s proprietary SF Mono with !=, := and <=. Why? Because I can

Apple Calendar has the best settings. Turn on timezones support — why would I want NOT to have timezones support? Show events in year view — as opposed to what? What else is there to show? Ask before sending changes — ask whom? what?

@nikitonsky is this another one of your design critiques? If it isn’t, just use Fantastical instead.

I think I have ideas about at least the two last ones. Show events in year view — as opposed to hiding them. Ask before sending changes — ask you before sending changes (by email) to people invited to an event.

@nikitonsky Was that thing I need in Application, "More tools" or one of the tabs in Settings? Wait, that was Chrome and I'm looking at Firefox, it's probably one of the checkboxes in settings, if not then there's probably an about: url for it... or not.
