you can make it sort the first k elements and it will still be O(1). Set k high enough and it might even be useful

If this is about line endings, surely a simple shell or python script could correct them?

I love the idea of using multiple font faces at the same time while looking at code. I wonder if (hope?) terminals will one day soon support switching fonts with control sequences… Would be pretty awesome!

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.

The difference between generating JSON and generating HTML is minimal for the server, doesn’t seem to me like server side rendered sites have significantly higher server compute costs. Also generally for SPAs, the server has to replicate whatever flow is happening on the client anyway to keep state in line (since the client can’t be trusted)

Any Linux distro should work for the setup you want. I have radarr, sonarr, sabnzbd, deluge and jellyfin running on an Arch setup, but something more accessible like Ubuntu or Debian should work fine (although I’m not familiar with whether the Pi4 can power those heavier distros). If you’re comfortable with the command line, it doesn’t matter much which distro you pick since you can install and configure all those apps over ssh.

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)

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. I did get a t-shirt from them for doing a user interview though :)

For a mainstream press article about science, it’s pretty good. I do wish they had touched on the failure of recent experiment to verify some of the theoretical particles predicted by the standard model.

I really love PowerPoint. I feel like the automatic snapping features and general polish allow me to make very pretty slides with a high level of control, and it feels way better to use than e.g. web-based alternatives. Admittedly, I haven’t tried a foss alternative in years.

I am not an AirVPN user, but you might want to look for whether AirVPN supports filtering traffic based on port numbers, and then you can set a fixed port in your torrent client which AirVPN will always route through the VPN (and allow other traffic such as DNS and HTTPS to go around it).

Some VPNs support app-based split tunneling (such as Mullvad), but it seems from a quick search that AirVPN doesn’t. But if it supports port based filters, you can accomplish the same thing.

I don’t write, but the Neorg project seems to be getting some attention from writers

I created a variant of Monokai/Monokai Soda called Monokai Vapor, available in the marketplace :)
