Mine still does that, I just press and hold on the spacebar and can move the cursor around, are you sure its no longer available on your phone?


This was changed, and it is pretty easy to think the feature got removed.

When it was pressure-sensitive, you could push harder anywhere on the keyboard. But now that it’s tap-and-hold, it only works on the space bar. Most other pressure-sensitive actions just got replaced with tap-and-hold with no changes. But doing that on any other key brings up letter-specific accents, so they moved it down to spacebar.

It also used to be faster. Now you have to wait, but before it was pressure sensitive. You could trigger it instantly with more pressure. Edits were so fast and convenient, but now it’s a slight pause each time


You can still tap and hold in the text itself to bring up the magnifying glass gizmo, but yeah the experience is awful


Doesn’t work If the keyboard doesn’t have a spacebar - happens with numeric input. IIRC the old 3D Touch version worked on any key.


How do people strain their stock? I use a seive with a muslin in which I then squeeze to get all the juices, but its unweildy and messy.


This sounds like a job for a centrifuge so I wonder whether the sort of people who home engineered their way to dishwasher sous vide have come up with washing machine stock straining.



I've read some weird hacks but the traditional non-centrifuge way to clarify the stock is to use some protein like ground meat or egg white to "absorb" any discolorant, protein, etc.


First time I made beef stock, I had much more than I needed; so I decided to turn some of it into consommé. You stir beaten egg-white into the stock, and simmer for a few minutes. The egg-white magically gathers the particles in the stock, and floats to form a raft on the surface. You then lift off the raft, to reveal limpidly clear consommé.

My consommé was lovely; but no better than Baxter's tinned consommé (and no worse). I haven't tried again since.


I just use a fine mesh strainer. If you really want clarified stock, you can simmer it with some egg whites and/or shells, the proteins will agglomerate all the remaining sediment. Strain again and done.


I'd assume with the muslin and squeezing they aren't going after clarified stock.


First through colander and then 1 or 2x through fine mesh strainer.


Like you are trying to pull the juices from the plant matter?

The stock should be flavorful enough as is. You shouldn't need to also squeeze the vegetables to get more flavor (just cook longer if you want that).

I use a mesh sieve and nothing else.


i use a mesh sieve, but i also give the vegetables a press as i'm doing it.


one round through the sieve without the cheesecloth, discsrd large solids, and then one round with the cheese cloth, no squeezing. I don't typically add vegetables to my stock thought, as it seems to me to make more sense to me to add them later, so that the flavors don't evaporate off.


I use a chinois with a wooden tool that comes with the chinois.


I just pour it through my colander and let it drip for 5-10 minutes. Optimal, I guess not, but it's good enough for me.


I could have written this, except for the being a good enough programmer to write a browser that is. I wonder if the author has heard of the ladybird browser? https://ladybird.dev/


I wonder why Shopify is sponsoring them...


“Ladybird is a love-letter to the web, and proof that open technologies enable innovation by organizations of all sizes. Shopify grew up on those technologies, and proudly contributes to them. We’re excited to add Ladybird to the set of projects we support.”

Pretty cool of them to contribute $100k to the project.

Id also suggest that France is much less densely populated than the UK - less inhabitants to work around.


The population density of the UK (particularly England) feels staggering to this Swede.

Some examples (people/km^2):

    England:     434
    UK:          280
    Germany:     239
    France:      118
    EU:          109
    California:   98
    Texas:        43
    US:           37
    Sweden:       26
    All land:     16


Sweden has about half the population of London. I am probably within walking distance of more people than live in Sweden.


Sweden gets loads of tourists from e.g. Germany/The Netherlands just looking for peace/quietness.

Where do English people go for that? Scotland?


Personally I go to Scotland, or sometimes Wales.

Though even within England, the population is highly concentrated in the South East, so the South West and North East have a lot of relatively sparsely populated areas.


Yeah Scotland's very much up there, its known for having some incredibly remote regions.


> Where do UK people go for that?

Brits don't want quietness. Instead they go to Germany and drink until they can't stand upright - and then continue to drink until they pass out.

Source: was a barkeeper many years ago in Munich. A group of half a dozen Manchester fans drank more in one night than what would last two days otherwise, it's absolutely insane. Australians also tend to drink a lot, but IME they tend to get rowdy when too drunk.


Maybe the brits who want quiet aren’t going to bars in Munich to seek it out? What a fucking ridiculous means to back up an equally ridiculous statement.


Does Germany not have laws restricting sale of alcohol to drunk people?


They have that in many countries but it doesn’t work. There is always someone who will sell booze to you, no matter the state you are in.


Yeah, UK by area is mostly Scotland, which is stunningly beautiful and quite empty. Also infrastructure there tends to be more basic; even main roads in the north of Scotland are often single lane with passing places.

Wales and Northern Ireland are smallish by land and not very densely populated (?) but not massive outliers I'd think.


Even the SE has areas with surprisingly low population density. Outside of the urban areas much of the land is protected against development as national park/AONB/green belt.


One of my favorite things in Scotland was everyone waving at each other as one car stopped on the passing space as the other car drove past.


Interestingly India is 435!


Australia : 3


Would you mind expanding on what you mean by ‘dark developer’? I could guess from context but Id appreciate your definition if you dont mind.


90% sure it's "dark matter developers" as in "they never write blogs, they don't go to user groups, they don't tweet or facebook, and you don't often see them at large conferences." - https://www.hanselman.com/blog/dark-matter-developers-the-un...


Yeah, that's true. I have a blog, and share the code & docs I write for myself, but my blog is not about programming, and the docs are more like cheat sheets for general public.

Well, the code is just GPLv3 licensed small tools which I develop according to my own needs. Nothing impressive.

I don't use Twitter, Facebook and Reddit anymore. I just converse here, and with a Discord server I really like.


Would you mind sharing it? Im just getting to grips with vim so any pointers towards some simple improvements would be much appreciated.


Sure:

  set ts=4
  set sw=4
  set softtabstop=4
  set expandtab
  set hlsearch
  set incsearch
  set wildmode=longest,list
OK, only 7 lines then :)

Basically: tabs are 4 spaces, searching works better, and tab completion works like bash.


Oh no, I need at the very least timeoutlen, visualbell and line number. I type that manually when I SSH if I must. Don't want to wait for ESC, no beeps at all and I wanna know where I am on the document.

And lots more is needed for decent Vim IMO. smartcase, set hidden, etc.


I read that most people only use about 10% of vim's features, but everyone uses a different 10% :)


relativenumber is essential too, unless you like typing something like d-638-<Shift>-G just to delete 15 or 20 lines of text.


I actually think lack of line numbering is essential, because I quite frequently want to select blocks of code with the mouse and yank into the clipboard.


That is true, but you can integrate tmux and vim with the system's clipboard. Then again, :set nu! is easy to type.


Thank you!


Take a look at the vim-sensible plugin. No need to install it, just see what the generally agreed sensible settings are.


Most of vim-sensible is already default or equivalent on Neovim, fwiw.


You might find this HN discussion interesting, its full of good explanations for different electrical concepts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26362492


Does anyone have any experience with 0patch? I use it to keep a couple of old Win7 systems patched but it makes me nervous…


Seconded, this is what I do.
