On: Launch HN: mrge.io (YC X25) – Cursor for code review

[auscompgeek]

I wanted to check this out, so I installed the GitHub app on my account, with access to all my personal repos. However when I went looking for one of my repos (auscompgeek/sphinxify) I couldn't find it. It looks like I can only see the first 100 repos in the dashboard? I have a lot of forks under my account…

Quick update – we've merged a fix which should be live in ~15 mins! Thanks for reporting this :)

[allisonee → auscompgeek]

sorry about that! we're looking into this now--if you go back to https://github.com/apps/mrge-io-dev/installations/select_tar... and just add repos you want to use us with under the "select repositories", that should unblock you until we fix it in the next hour or so.

just to follow up--the fix for this is landing! thanks for surfacing

> They can't block every 8 character tag.

Whilst Git will be default abbreviate commits to 7 characters, that's merely a default; `core.abbrev` can be set to any number to change the default display. Git will also accept any length abbreviated hashes as long as they're unique in the repo.

There's a known issue where the shell integration doesn't respect that setting when it sets the cursor shape. https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/2812

Curious why you think Canva isn't a good company?

It could override the reverse bitwise or magic method `__ror__`.

On: X.com refuses to open with Firefox strict tracking protection enabled

[auscompgeek]

You have to opt-in to turning tracking protection to strict. When you're about to there's a prominent warning that it will likely break some websites.

Using Firefox in its default configuration shouldn't break websites.

On: How to type “blimpy” in Emacs [video]

[auscompgeek]

It's Lua. Presumably they're using Neovim.

[umanwizard → auscompgeek]

Ah, my bad. Not a heavy vim user so I didn’t realize this was neovim-specific.

On: ChromiumOS Developer Guide, Programming languages and style

[auscompgeek]

The ChromiumOS Python style guide notes the difference between Google's public Python style guide and their internal one.

> New projects should use that unmodified public Python Google style guide (4 space indent with methods_with_underscores). Historically, we adopted a style that was congruent with Google internal Python style guide (2 spaces with MethodsAsCamelCase).
