Just squint and it'll become clear.

Same path I took. I'm liking Aerospace so far. I just snagged the "i3-like" config from their docs and it feels like home. Not quite as snappy as i3, but very workable.

I switched to i3 years ago for the workspace management. I can spread different workspaces across my monitors with easy commands and full control. Every OS and linux distro I've tried has inferior workspace management compared to i3. Tiling is secondary for me.

If you come from i3 you'll probably find Aerospace[1] to be more what you're after.

Love it. Is it open source? The only thing missing imo is a chord viewer.

Thats pretty neat!
I would say that this is an extreme and somewhat rare example. Kids here do walk themselves to school. But this does seem to be a growing concern, hence the legislation.

Lichess is better in every way except one: their push notifications are unreliable.
Even then, households that choose to homeschool or private school their children still contribute to public schools. So the article's claim of needing to close schools due to fewer pupils and lack of funding is left unanswered. There may be migration involved.

How long does it take for a typical transaction to finalize?

Genuine question: How do you use it? Do you mean you use it to make purchases, or do you mean you hold it as a store of value, and that's the use? Something else?

only because you'd need to know what time it is to know where south is relative to the sun.

Conservation of mass need not apply.
Storage is kind of the major blocker for those technologies currently.

She wasn't talking about solutions to the exams. Sounds like they didn't give solutions to the practice problems.

Actually it'll surprise you when you hit a mountain that you thought was 2000 feet lower because that's what the map and terrain database says.
Re:Deleting an S3 Bucket Costs Money on Tuesday October 19, 2021 @10:11AM (#28918261)
Having worked with S3+Cloudfront as well as Netlify, I can say with confidence that Netlify is better anyways. And it's hard to beat free...
A lot of people use tools like hurl for integration and smoke tests during CI runs. The extension looks nice, but it is limited in that way.
The first feature I look for in tools like this is the ability to run requests concurrently. Of course some requests depend on others, but there are often a lot of requests that can be run concurrently to save time. I don't see how to do that with hurl.
Visidata is a great interactive tool. TV seems like it would be better when scripting, or in one-liners.
Re:Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI on Friday September 10, 2021 @05:25PM (#28487059)
As someone who is forced to use either Mac or Windows at work, I would love this for the sole purpose of using i3 again.
