Maybe Subscribe with Reeder[0], 1Password[1], Userscripts[2]. The RSS and HTML icons are obviously fairly generic, so not 100% sure.

I checked, it's not Reeder.

Don't know what it is either, but I'd like to got off-topic and remember with fondness the time when you could subscribe to RSS feeds directly in Safari. Google Reader was replacable, a direct integration into the browser not.


The RSS button is https://rssdiscovery.app/

And for a short time, RSS was the bee's knees across the entire Internet. Apple had the best support for it, and almost put NetNewsWire out to pasture, until they just removed all baked in RSS functionality, entirely :(

But I use Reeder across Mac, iPad, and iPhone to keep up with feeds.


Their video on YouTube, in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vW12gQ4Klc


Okay I must say, the production quality of that video is insane.


Feels like HTX blew up out of nowhere with a ton of long form content at once, but they were huge in Chinese social media already, and finally decided to start translating previous content to english and uploading to Youtube.


My family and I binged a few of their videos. They’re so good


Oh nice, these are the guys that made the auto-aiming trash can!


[flagged]


I've sent money to creators on YouTube/Instagram, but my employer at the time had government contracts, so it's it fair to say the US government funds Factorio video content?


Sure. You nailed it.


Agreed! Check out "scrubby" video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bLyZ7gkurv4


The wholesomeness and ingenuity made my day!


From their youtube channel description:

> Our goal is to create fun and engaging videos.

I wonder whether they are more into video-making or tech.


Yes.

I've been watching them in Chinese for a while. Their video production evolved through the years by leaps and bounds. Their technical skill also skyrocketed. But it started as a channel with technical reviews and some DIY.

If you want to try to watch their videos with AI translation, you can try this: https://space.bilibili.com/163637592 For example, an artificial flower made of memory metal: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1gN411M7kh/


That looks really interesting, but there's a ton of text flying over the video and it's making it hard to actually see what's going on in the image. Is there a way to disable that?


Yes, you just need to click on the button with the "弹" character right below the video (it's appropriately called "barrage of bullets").


I'd watch a video about the making of this video.


Does anyone know which keys/switches out there sound like this one?

It's got a soft cheery non-intrusive sound that I really like compared to the usual louder mechanical keys/switches that I hear in videos.


I recently learned that it's not just the switch, but also the gasket, so the switch plate material, the foam layers and even the keycap itself. I built two different split keyboards recently with the same simple Kailh box red v2 switch and they sound and feel completely different just because of the thickness of the switch plate and the type of keycaps I use.(check this for example https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HIldaxljpzc )

You can check if you find the switches colors here(it looks like an Akko purple pro, but not quite) https://keeb-finder.com/switches

Whereas rtings has a filtering list that also has sound profiles in the review pages.

https://www.rtings.com/keyboard-switch/tools/compare


Thanks for the info. A split keyboard sounds awesome.


You can get really cheap boards on taobao, for sofle, lily58, corne(all 3 are open source/open hardware) keyboards. You can of course also get prebuilt ones with or without switches for cheap if you want to. But in today's world, if you have tools and access to a 3d printer you can get a board for a few bucks some components and finish the whole thing with good switches and keycaps for 20-30 dollars.

It's a fun experience, and a nice reason to play around with SMD soldering techniques. I had my daughter (4 years) solder the hotswap sockets.

Worth checking out the miryoku layout, which is optimized for small keyboards, where I recently added sensor bindings for ec11 encoders[1].

[1] https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_zmk/pull/116


The sound is described like creamy or thocky.

You can get aula f75 for cheap, arround 50$, there are plenty of sound tests on youtube as it's very popular.

I got that version and I am happy, but if I was to buy a new one I would get the full size f108 because it's important for me to have distance between arrow keys and other keys. And tbh I would just get an apple keyboard or something similarly slim because it's more confortable for me. However for thicc (mechanical switch) keyboards, aula f75 has great specs and sound at a very good price.


Thanks will check out the aula 75


Best keyboard I have very used was at a random data center and I would swear it was using alps switches. They feel more like snapping a glass rod.


Lube them manually (by yourself or someone else)


I wonder what issues they ran into with using the entire keyboard as a mouse.


Put keyboard in perfect ergonomic position on the desk, move mouse, now the keyboard's in a terrible ergonomic position.

Also you have to keep a much bigger area clear for it.


I'm assuming it's too heavy and has too much contact surface (so more friction), making it too hard to glide smoothly.

There's probably something with the position of the hand when you move the mouse as well. At least I seem to be moving mostly the wrist when I use my mouse, meaning that my hand and forearm are not always aligned; without this alignment, I feel there's more strain on the wrist when typing.


my imagined device has the hand a bit more vertical, which would give more leverage for moving the device around.

Could you do a thing with magnets where you have a special mousepad as well with the pad being all one pole pointing up and the device the same pole pointing down?

Also my imagined device would not need the full keyboard, just the full right side of a qwerty keyboard.


I imagine it's uncomfortable to grip since you need to be careful to not press a key doing so. Since you can't rely on fingers much for grip, you could put more force pressing downward with your wrist but that would also add friction with the table. Mice are small enough that you can fit your hand around it, but a keyboard is large and flat.


I'd also guess fatigue. Pushing around that huge thing constantly


Same, looks like an amazing idea.


More than two, e.g. there’s also the Inline Images Protocol supported by iTerm2 and WezTerm.

Kovid documented his rationale at some length here: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/33


FWIW The definitive thread on "images in terminals" is probably found in these threads:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/...

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/...

there's lengthy discussion from just about everyone at this point in those threads, about why images in terminals is Hard


Definitely S01E01, @ ~55-58 minutes. I just watched it.


Huh. OK then. I was not taken by it and don't really want to watch it again, or the whole thing, so I will take your word.


I mean, 25 years and 27 inches later, and only reappearing after the queen Hudson served had died, with no tale of exactly where he’d been or how he got back… the cynical explanation would be that he was simply a different man claiming to be Hudson in the hope of a handout from the restored monarchy.


That too. This sort of stuff happened a lot; Perkin Warbeck and Lambert Simnel etc.


These have been available since mid-2022:

  :insert-output Run shell command, inserting output before each selection.
  :append-output Run shell command, appending output after each selection.
  :pipe, :| Pipe each selection to the shell command.
  :pipe-to Pipe each selection to the shell command, ignoring output.
  :run-shell-command, :sh, :! Run a shell command
The placeholder for the current file is %{buffer_name} (not as bad as it looks, the command line has tab completion for basically everything).


Cmd + click places multiple carets on macOS. Apparently – I never touch the mouse when I’m editing in Helix. I don’t know which modifier it is on other platforms.

I’m not sure if replicating Sublime’s Ctrl + D is possible or not, but there are other ways to achieve every use case for it I can immediately think of. e.g. I think I’d typically be doing `<space>h` to select every instance of the symbol under the cursor, or using `s`elect to reduce a selection to a match, possibly yanked and pasted.


Does not work on Linux. Also, double-clicking to expand selection like in Sublime does not work.

There might be a better way but this bind works well for me in normal and select modes.

  C-n = ["search_selection", "extend_search_next"]


It uses old style figures rather than lining, if that’s what you mean by “higgledy-piggledy”. See https://practicaltypography.com/alternate-figures.html#oldst...

I don’t think so, no. This is how it works today: https://www.gov.uk/check-job-applicant-right-to-work

If your new hire is a British or Irish citizen, you ask for their passport on their first day and retain a photo/scan. In most cases this means that a layperson has to verify that the (possibly foreign) document is genuine, but I don’t think fake passports are a statistically meaningful problem.

If they have a visa or, probably most likely in recent years, EU right to remain, they will have a share code for online verification. That takes you to a page with their details and a passport-style photo that you can download as PDF for your records.

Identifying whether someone has the right to work has never been a problem. If somebody is working illegally, it’s because the employer is either knowingly employing them illegally, or doesn’t care/bother to check (or even know that they’re legally required to do so – a perennial problem with early stage startups in London, in my experience).


Except there's no obligation to have a passport.

That says if you don't you need a birth certificate and an official letter showing a national insurance number. I guess the new thing would substitute for that?


> Except there's no obligation to have a passport.

No but if you don't have it then you can't show it.


A small practical example of how you might use this: https://imgur.com/mTS0vHO

Helix on the left and a Clojure repl at top-right in terminal panes. Portal data viewer in a browser pane at bottom-right.


But why wouldn't you just use any old window tiling manager?


Having 2 separate windows requires an extra mouseclick for any interaction on most OSes. For example, try to highlight text on a non-focused window.

Obviously a tiny extra effort, and not sure it justifies this feature, but it can add up for some things.


Fwiw macOS does not require an extra mouse click for this, outside of limited circumstances (likely very limited these days) such as X11 apps.


Actually wait... yes it does need an extra click for text selection! Scrolling works without focusing the window though.


Because all the editor keyboard shortcuts and such work in the browser tab
