The search term persistence is nice, when you want to change what you searched for, e.g. add another word to narrow it down more. It’s been the behavior on mobile for a while, and I was skeptical at first, too, but you just really don’t need to see the URL of your search engine. Well, unless you’re trying to add it to the browser, but at that point, the search term persistence won’t yet happen.

I am currently finding that out, too. 🙃

So far, I’ve had them in a vegetable curry and in a sort-of-East-Asian style dish (rice, chickpeas, teriyaki, sriracha, peanut sauce) and I threw them onto a toast where I had a tomato-hummus spread on there.
I feel like that generally works quite well, if your base food is already quite rich in either veggies or spices, then you can just throw chives into the mix without it poking out too much. Lots of those dishes might use leek anyways, and chives aren’t too different from that.

Yeah, my parents don’t seem to understand that this is actually work. To them, I’m just sitting there, having a bit of a chat with them. I now work in the field and they have become somewhat more sympathetic after I told them that this is basically another workday for me, when they call me to come on a Saturday or Sunday. Like, yeah, I will get around to it, but I am often exhausted from work, which does make it a pretty big ask for me to continue working on the weekend.

At first, you look at them until they notice, then you look away. The first time, they’ll probably be irritated, because for all they know, you looked at them, because their hair looks silly or whatever. Then give it some time before you look again. In some sense, you can play it like you’ve just been caught looking at them, so you don’t want to be caught again right away.

Then you repeat that a couple times and try to gauge their reaction (without directly looking at them). If they catch onto you and make an ew face, then definitely abort mission. If they smile, that’s a good sign.

Then you can try to hold the stare a little longer before looking away and again, see if they smile. Eventually, you can try keeping the eye contact for a few seconds while they smile at you and then you smile back.

At that point, it’s definitely time to talk to them. They would not keep up the smile, if they had doubts about going on a date, although it’s obviously still not a guarantee. Sometimes, they only realize that they can’t follow through when it gets serious.

But this whole spiel does communicate that you’re shy about it. If that’s not how you feel, it’s better to talk to them right away.
In general, the more time you take before doing the talk, the more serious it is, because then it’s not just a spontaneous “you’re cute, wanna go out and see if we fit”, but rather a “I’ve been observing you for the past weeks and worked out that you are my dream partner please marry me right away”. So, yeah, don’t take too long before you talk to them.

I’m so tired of projects being like “We’re open-source” and then they’re hosted on GitHub, using Discord and whatever fucking other awful tooling they can get their hands on. Thanks guys. I’ll definitely check out your project, yes.

I feel like you severely overestimate the reach of this channel. People who watch LTT are in a very specific bubble of YouTube + PC gaming + techy-but-not-too-techy.

But ultimately, even if every average person parroted exactly what LTT says, I don’t feel like we can do much about it, even if we know about it and discuss it. The guy is just going to find some way to shoot himself in the foot for entertainment. You can do hardly anything to solve that on a technological level.

I mean, there’s some decent design principles behind it. For one, it just takes up space only once rather than for each window individually.

But much more importantly, it makes use of an implication of Fitts’s Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts’s_law#Implications_for_UI_design
TL;DR: Because you can slam your mouse cursor against the top of the screen, you can’t miss the menu vertically. It’s like an infinitely tall button. This makes it fast for users to move their cursor there.

Having said that, this macOS design is from a time when the mouse and navigation menus were the primary user interaction method, which they’re not anymore. So, yeah, that’s why it was designed like that, but I doubt they’d expend this much effort to design it like that again.

Oh, when you’re coding something in a Git repo and you realize that you need to make a different change before you continue coding (e.g. switch to a branch, pull newest changes, or just create a separate smaller commit for part of your change), then you can run git stash push to put away your current changes, then make your other change, and then run git stash pop to bring your ongoing changes back. I recommend reading git stash --help, if you want to use it.

Sometimes, though, you might end up just taking it into a different direction altogether or simply forget that you had something stashed. That’s when that indicator comes in handy. Because while you can have multiple things stashed, I do find it’s best not to keep them around for too long. If you do want to keep them for longer, then you can always create a branch and commit it as WIP onto there, so that you can push it onto a remote repo.

Yep, here’s my Starship prompt, for example:

So, I have it configured to show:

• the exit code of the last command (if it’s non-zero),
• the duration of the last command (if it’s longer than 2 seconds),
• the time (when the last command ended),
• the current directory,
• the current Git branch, and it also shows some Git status information, for example the $ means I have something stashed,
• and finally the technology in use in a repository/directory, so in this case that repo uses Rust and the compiler version is 1.83.
