The caps lock thing always happens with me haha, the funnest thing is other people are unable to understand hitting caps lock is more ergonomic than right ctrl.

Others remap it to ESC...

ESC on tap, CTRL on hold is the way!

After you can run his clones on some amount of electricity, sure.

I've been using firefox's viewport zoom to improve website visibility a lot these days. Traditional zoom reflows the page, but the viewport zoom keeps the page the same, just makes it bigger. You might know this from pinching out on the touchpad on a laptop, but you can do this on a keyboard by setting `mousewheel.with_$KEY.action` to 5 to perform viewport zoom by having a keyboard key pressed. I use it with alt, and use AHK to bind XB2+scroll to emit alts instead (I make it emit ctrl regularly but alt when a firefox window is focused). It has been one of my best usability improvements recently. It's one of those things that, if you make ergonomic enough, you end up using on every single website, since you can make the column width the optimal size for your readability.

I didn't know about this, I'm on my laptop right now running macos and just tapped the trackpad with two fingers and it zoomed in. Usually I'm using a mouse and keyboard, I'll have to figure out how to do this with a keyboard shortcut.

Thanks!


That makes it look like you're too stupid to understand the PR.

Edit: I see this comment getting downvoted. To be clear, I was trying to explain why someone would want to merge a PR without going through all of it, I didn't mean to call such people stupid.


Only for a scale approaching github's, otherwise a gitea instance or whatever doesn't have any interdependent components other than the server you host it on, which won't have nearly as low a downtime as github (though that's a low bar, a better way to phrase it would be saying it would pretty much never be down).

Sick, I can stop using `pwd -P` based switching between /usr/bin/git and git.exe (and for some other stuff like ripgrep). Hell, I can probably stop using PowerShell completely.

>The world is essentially one life supported regime away from having a level of stability in the middle east that has quite literally never been achieved.

Agreed, but I wouldn't call Israel a regime.


Surely the modern equivalent to that is having public git repositories.

Perhaps, but has "I'm not doing your whiteboard challenge - check out my git repositories instead!" ever worked for you?!

Haha, for some reason when phrased like that I get a bad feeling about the outcome of the interview.

Apparently, a book is a bunch of text on pages.

Would you prefer if those people used a mouse and desktop environments?


I am not trying to diminish anyone and I do not have a preferences for how other people use computers. I was merely trying to explain why the CLI gets so much attention.
