External Link X (formerly Twitter) · x.com [1] This is a pretty incredible use of css grid to overlay items overtop of each other without needing to resort to position: absolute and the side effects that it brings. .wrap { display: grid; & > * { grid-row: 1; grid-column: 1; } } Note This post is a thought [2].

External Link printables.com [1] Someone has created a knock off of the ltt screwdriver and made it printable, and it works really well. I have one printed with 6 different bitholders. I popped some labels on them in bambu studio as I printed to mark them for metric/inch and so on. [2] I’ve had mine for about a year now, and I use it quite often. I used to be a dedicated screwdriver kind of guy, but as life has changed I’m not working out of a shop with tools at reach as much, I’m grabbing a couple of items and heading to a job in the house or a neighbors house. It’s not 30s to grab just the right dedicated screwdriver anymore. Also having some setup with hex and torx is a game changer. It’s also super handy that you can just pop the bits right into a drill or impact. [3] Highly recommended print. Sorry for not buying the real deal Linux, I got kids to feed here. I owe you a t-shirt order or something. [4] Note This post is a thought [5].

Hotkey to open link under at the text cursor position while typing in edit mode I find myself not wanting to leave the keyboard for navigation and think a keyboard-only shortcut that could open a link at the text cursor position is at would be really handy for this case.

- Very inspiring video Jason, these people faced adversity and crushed it. The market is so hard right now, its not easy to get a job, move around, and recover from a layoff. Everyone in this video just showed that you can make it in this industry right now, you just have to be willing to work harder than the rest. The bar is raising, a lot of great people are already putting in hard work to make it. Community is Key, Theo mentioned that a lot of the companies he works with don’t even post openings, they go to their community first and are often filling spots through lower risk community hires.

- Docker no Docker, what!!! So fly.io uses Dockerfiles to deploy your app, but no docker. They use containerd to download your docker images into firecracker microvms to run your app. Firecracker is the same tech that runs aws lambda functions.

Ultimate Modular Macro Keyboard "Kibly" Ultimate Modular Macro Keyboard "Kibly" Reddit · reddit.com [1] This is a pretty sick design, touch screen macropad, trackball, ring, and knobs for days.

- Niklas Luhmann created the Zettelkasten method of notetaking, He was the Da Vinci of writing, holding a high standard that we can take inspiration from even today in this digital era. As many times as I have seem the Zettelkasten covered, I never knew that it roughly translated to little cards in a box. Four Principles # [1] Mischa lays out four principles of Zettelkasten. - Atomic - each card conains one idea - Link - cards are linked together - Structure - comes from the links - Own Words - You write the note in your own words My blog, tils, and thoughts make up my own zettelkasten. I am not going to say that mine is a perfect representation of his method, but the components are here. rather than building books, my thoughts and tils build up to blog posts. The rate of blog posts I write definitely changes with the seasons of life, as seasons change it becomes a bigger or smaller part of the season. I really like Mischa’s most important note to Write in your own words, this is what really promotes learning, and proves to yourself that you can form a thought around the topic. Up until recently I’ve wrote everything, but lately I’ve taken to copy pasting some quotes i...

add quick-tap-ms and require-prior-idle-ms · WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block@cb2cda4 Contribute to WaylonWalker/zmk-config-42block development by creating an account on GitHub. GitHub · github.com [1] Even after switching to my hm and ht behaviors I am running into some issues where sometimes I am still accidentally hitting mods(&hm) and layers(&ht) while typing and it’s been getting frustrating. My main issue has been on &ht, they are configured the same so I suspect that my pinkies just move a bit slower over the keys than my pointer/middle finger. I just added quick-tap-ms and require-prior-idle-ms to my &hm and &ht behaviors, and a few intentionally sloppy passes through monkeytype seem to show that its working well. A few days of trying this will tell whether it was a good fix or if I have maybe gone too far the other way. The end goal here is to be able to roll over keys faster without worrying about hitting other layers or mods. Note This post is a thought [2].

There’s a TUI for that with Nick Janetakis (Changelog & Friends #53) Nick Janetakis is back and this time we're talking about TUIs (text-based user interfaces) — some we've tried and some we plan to try. All are collected from Justin Garrison's Awesome TUIs repo o... Changelog · changelog.com [1] 50 minutes into this episode they start a discussion on seo, and naming posts. They give Jerod the task of googling for tmux and see how high up the ranking they find Nick, expecting a number one post, and he cant even get to Nick. The problem? Jerod is such a beginner he doesn’t even know what to search, he starts with a long query about getting started with tmux, but all of Nick’s videos are why you should use advanced features of tmux, but Jerod has yet to discover that these exist. As experts we often come up wtih a post title for the exact thing that we are trying to teach someone how to do, but yet, they haven’t discussed that they need that feature yet, they just want the getting started guide, or tell me why I should start using tmux. Not why sessions are better than windows, and tabs suck all together. Definitely an eye opening conversation listening to two experts sit in...
