This is an awesome use case for ElasticSearch, thanks for sharing this.
I really enjoy learning new shell commands. I moved from bash to zsh mainly for command and parameters autocompletion so I could learn and discover new commands quickly. man pages are often big and cluttered with a lot of details. I never though of searching in all of them at the same time, but it totally makes sens.
I use tldr a lot and I think a similar implementation could be handy :)
This post is also a nice way to learn how to use ElasticSearch, nice work!

Really disappointing how they crippled the extension mechanism: https://github.com/lusakasa/saka-key/issues/53
The justification of “it’s for security” makes no sense.

In my view, it’s a bug in the browser if important keybindings can be overridden by content.
-
I agree, if by “content” you mean web pages.
However, the idea that web extensions I’ve explicitly given permission to install can override the “new tab” shortcut which I use many times a day, but not the “new window” shortcut which I haven’t used on purpose in several years is daft, and blaming it on “security” is scaremongering.
-
Vivaldi has a brilliant ‘Toggle keyboard shortcuts’ action that you can bind to a shortcut (or mouse gesture). It’s a pity that it disables the browser’s bindings instead of the website’s, but even then I find it useful.
For that matter, extensions unpreventably overriding browser defaults is as silly as web content doing so. I hope Firefox and Chrome and … Edge, is it? can one day afford to overhaul their keybindings architecture, so that:
- the web browser and extensions expose actions (plus desired bindings)
- a central keybinding registry lets you bind available actions to keys
- website Javascript can be kept in its proper place: subordinate to the user and their browser. We run tings. Tings nuh run we.
-
The setup you’ve described is so obviously the right way to handle this problem that I have to ask myself, did browser vendors consider this and reject it as impractical, or did it honestly just not occur to them to come up with a sensible, declarative way to handle key bindings?

Yeah, the “web extensions” garbage is very sad
-
? At first, I was sad about this move too but after upgrading, I managed to find alternatives for most of the plugin I was really using. I feel like it’s a new start for browser plugin development now and I think some people will consider doing a rewrite of popular projects which could be a good thing in the end. Don’t fix what’s not broken they say, but I don’t think there are only downsides about this move.
This change actually made me learn part of the webextensions api and I started working on a webextensions history browser plugin because the orher similar plugin I was using wasn’t open source and I didn’t like its ui.
I hope this won’t block users from adopting the new versions. I really like the recent overall improvements in firefox ?

Very inspiring. I feel bad for those who don’t understand how tests, code quality and sharing knowledge and projects trough open source is helpful.

Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software?
I would have signed this for Canada. Open source can benefit the world in many ways, including public sector. I often feel like closed source means security by obscurity. Maybe it can’t fit all projects, but I’d definitely like to see this happen at scale.
There are already a load of awesome open source projects with non restrictive licenses that makes people life’s better. Software is for people.

Minimap plugin for Atom implements ads, refuses to revert, resulting in a fork
Apparently that minimap plugin is a part of atom by default? If so then wow, that is bad.

I had a very hard time following this and I’m not sure what it’s aiming to do.
-
Yeah I think you’re right, I need to improve my writing skills. This post needs some context.
It is more a list of links I used to share than an actual article. I used to send many of these links to a few interns at my job so they have places where to start discovering projects and tools.
Oh and Sindre Sorhus definitely likes unicorns and rainbows ;)
-
Seems to be representative of what is happening in the Node/JS and Ruby communities: systematic use of the “awesome” adjective, inserting rainbow and unicorn emojis, praising individuals, focusing on whatever technology or tool is the most talked about at the moment. Socially worth a read.

The talk in Saguenay for the SagLacIO was just awesome. As a programmer, you get to live with all these problems and it’s rarely getting better. Thanks for sharing this Fred, you are so right, everything is terrible ᴥ
Sounds like this project needs a new pull request https://github.com/nikolas/github-drama/
