On a 4k monitor, I sometimes have 6 or 8 visible plus 3 or 4 more on a second and another on a third.
So something like sway-easyfocus for direct jumping via keyboard is quite nice.

Sway does not allow you to jump directly to a non-adjacent window natively, no.
But find sway-easyfocus which I contributed to. It does exactly this.
But companies like to make money default though.
Let me get this straight, you want to suspend AND resume?
Many smaller projects not explicitly supported by the vendor only make new releases and don’t also maintain a stable version.
I assumed this stage had already happened.


$70 if you hand deliver it to me. It’s my final offer.


The motivational component hits first. Developers lose the ability to push through tasks.
Eh… they lose the motivation to fix issues for free that don’t affect them. Crazy, I know.
More software I wanted was packaged for Arch than Ubuntu.


Say you rented a server at Amazon and ran your own VPN server software on it. Not that hard. The server could expose an HTTPS endpoint.
VPN software on your laptop connects to that.
From the network level, it appears you spend a lot of time connected to the same random website, hosted on some IP not owned by a VPN company.
A floppy disk is fine, just like Photoshop uses terms like dodge and burn, references to obsolete dark room methods, like cutting and “pasting” were literally how some layout projects worked.
Referencing the last physical incarnation of saving a file seems fitting!
Imagine a beach of infinite length with one lemonade stand on it.
Where do you open a second lemonade stand to maximize sales if people will buy from the closet stand?
The answer: next to the first stand. Everyone to the left of your stand will find you are the best option and everyone to the right will choose the other.
This model explains why two political parties along a spectrum can end up not too different from each other in an attempt to capture the most votes.
Because less than 1% of users would use it and your trusting the security of not one bit partner but thousands of ever-changing small partners.
Also, email is already federated.


Yes. I used CVS when it was the best option. If I recall, CVS made it easy to check out a different version of only one fail, making it easy to put a system in an inconsistent state.
For modern VCS that’s pleasant to learn and use but won’t scale to the Linux kernel, I recommend Darcs.
A single binary, interactive commands and online help.


CVS does not even support atomic commits across four files.


You used CVS and it wasn’t a drugstore.
Xh is my favorite— a rewrite of httpie with some fixes.


7” is a tablet.
This is better than directional arrows or alt tab because you can go directly to any window with one binding to open the utility and a second key to type a window label.

The beauty is that it’s the same short process to go to any window no matter if if you 15 visible windows across 3 monitors.
You don’t have to conceptually switch to an output and then to a window or type a string of directional keys like Super+LLLLLJJ
