I tried to switch back using the nightly channel. Loved it for a few days when it would start up in under a minute with a couple of thousand tabs open (but not loaded). Then after a few days it started leaking memory and filling up the whole disk in a few minutes causing forced reboots.
Probably a bug in nightly. I’ve had some issues in that direction (and video decoding) but it’s been recently fixed and isn’t as bad anymore.
I think it’s probably not a bad idea to switch to Beta or Release with 57.
I’ve done that too, you simply have a lot of swap (+100GiB) and put everything you don’t need on a distant virtual desktop.
That kind of remark is absolutely inappropriate here. I’m leaving it up for transparency, but don’t repeat it.
Specifically this was a highly personal insult (which also happens to be ableist), with no provocation.
I’d hardly view it as highly personal, or particularly insulting, or ableist. Feel free to not think having multiple thousands of tabs open is crazy. It’s not like I actually think less of junkblocker or something for having a lot of tabs.
It is a usecase Firefox has paid much attention to in their performance work. It’s like a temporary to-read list that I hope to get to sometime soon :)
I use zaw’s zaw-history for Ctrl+r instead of fzf but I like the command bookmarking feature of hstr as I find myself hunting for old crafted commandlines from time to time. Maybe I’ll steal it for zaw!
I first saw this article here https://sentinelone.com/blogs/shut-snitch-reverse-engineering-exploiting-critical-little-snitch-vulnerability-reverse-engineering-mac-os-x/ . Where did it actually originate?
EDIT: Seems reverse.put.as is the actual site of gdbinit on github.com, the author of the article. Wonder if they are connected to sentinelone.com somehow or if sentinelone is just presenting the article as their own…
I am wondering if we need a separate tag for ads too as privacy may not be a great fit. On the other hand people might start to use it to point at ads themselves rather than on content about intrusive advertisements, adbusting, ads using personal data (thought that would fit into privacy) etc.
I was expecting to get something back for sys.exit as it mentions python but I don’t get any results back.
We just pushed an improvement to make it get Python C definitions better (of which sys.exit is one). Expect a blog post announcement soon.
It would be nice if the same energy went into submitting patches to the owners of the man pages to improve their EXAMPLES sections.
The difference is in the barrier to entry. For example, I’ve often found mistakes in Mac’s man pages, but can’t even be arsed to figure out the whos, hows and wheres of it.
Similarly, another project by a Googler recently asked me to sign Google’s open source contributor agreement. For being such a simple thing to do, it turned out they want my physical address, phone numbers etc. there. Sorry, I’d rather have the project implement the patch I contributed on their own than yield to such insanity.
Sure, there will be those cases. There’s plenty more where it’s just as easy to submit a patch for. I’m fairly certain that all of the entries on the home page, for example, wouldn’t be a problem.
Or, making more usable versions of those commands, with intuitive arguments within arms reach, like ag and ack have done for grep.
ag and ack are far more specialised, though. They both are aimed at searching source code, while grep is a generalised text search tool. I do agree that in most cases, programs could stand with an improved UI (GNU tools, I’m looking at you).
Could be a free Dash for Mac replacement but the implementation is very buggy or unintuitive at the moment. Selection (eg python subset) doesn’t seem to persist or even trigger consistently. But it is open source so possible to figure out and fix the issues by spending some time.
Assuming I have different personal and work git server hosts, I have
pre-commitandpost-checkouthooks which automate most of this like so:
