• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this a triangle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just noticed in euclidean geometry, for any two line segments touching at a point there is exactly one triangle you can draw, i.e. a triangle is uniquely described by any two of its legs. In spherical geometry, there are two choices for the third leg!

  I read somewhere that this phenomenon is so unlikely that if we ever need to represent our planet in an intergalactic context, the solar eclipse would be a good candidate for a symbol to put on a flag [citation needed]

  I used boba u4 silents on my custom keyboard. Absolutely love them. Wish they made a consumer-grade keyboard with them (or maybe they already do?) But I’ve been working on a MacBook recently and tbh the keyboard there is pretty good now. So next step for me is to build a low profile keyboard

  On my colemak keyboard I put arrow keys on another layer under where hjkl are on qwerty. Beyond that, most of the keys are remembered by mnemonic rather than position imo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monaspace - Microsoft presents a new font family for code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if terminals will ever support switching fonts with control sequences… Would be pretty awesome!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monaspace - Microsoft presents a new font family for code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks like it’s not an actual height difference, but the smaller width makes the second i look significantly smaller than the first, also implying a lower height.

  I’ve been using Sidebery with some userchrome to hide the top tabs, and it’s a workable solution, but far from ideal.

  I also wish keybindings were configurable. For example, with the “/” search, ctrl-g/G to go to next/prev match is really weird

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No love lost: AppLovin helpfully releases tool to switch from Unity to Godot or Unreal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah exactly, Unity and Godot both use C# the same way React and Svelte both use JavaScript. Definitely some level of transferability, but honestly worth learning GDScript in my opinion because it’s a simple language and a pretty good fit for game scripting, and the one that gets first class attention from Godot.

  As far as I know, Swahili is almost always written with the latin script.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens when you open a terminal and enter ‘ls’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a great deep dive! I am curious how difficult/slow it is to extend the modern xterm interface. For example, I saw that some terminals now support squiggly underlines for errors. What would it take to build a terminal (and associated interface) that supported things like text size? (Of course it would break a lot of applications that treat the screen as a two dimensional grid)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens when you open a terminal and enter ‘ls’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Last time I used warp it also wasn’t super customizable. I like messing with the prompt and stuff. I wonder if that’s changed
