I’ve been using WindHawk for a bit, and my favourite mods have been:

- Slick Window Arrangement (better window snapping): https://windhawk.net/mods/slick-window-arrangement

- Better file sizes in Explorer details: https://windhawk.net/mods/explorer-details-better-file-sizes

This wasn’t a pen test? It was a drive by “oh fuck the platform I’m using is completely insecure”.

The custom Github Actions approach is very customisable and flexible. In theory you could make and even auto approve bumps.

If you want something more structured, I’ve been playing with and can recommend Renovate (no affiliation). Renovate supports far more ecosystems, has a better community and customisation.

Having tried it I can’t believe how relatively poor Dependabot, the default tool is something we put up with by default. Take something simple like multi layer dockerfiles. This has been a docker features for a while now, yet it’s still silently unsupported by dependabot!

The refined github extension[0] has some defaults that make the default view a little more tolerable. Past that I can personally recommend Renovate, which supports far more ecosystems and customisation options (like auto merging).

I think they mean if they already have her fingerprint from somewhere else, and a secret backdoor into the laptop. Then they could login, setup biometrics and pretend they had first access when she unlocked it. All without revealing their backdoor.

I'm not sold at the idea - for most projects it makes sense that the author of the PR should ultimately have ownership in the code that they're submitting. It doesn't matter if that's AI generated, generated with the help of other humans or typed up by a monkey.

> A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision. - IBM Training Manual, 1979

Splitting out AI into it's own entity invites a word of issues, AI cannot take ownership of the bugs it writes or the responsibility for the code to be good. That lies up to the human "co-author", if you want to use that phrase.

This is new to me, and a wonderful dive that I wish I was aware of during my OS course. Thanks!

> a PC laptop with Apple build quality and display quality, and there definitely aren't many options

There’s been a bunch of Windows ARM laptops that aim to directly compete with the M series Macs. Linux compatibility will depend on make on model.

There’s also a hell of a lot of gestures that I’ve just learned of: https://www.cnet.com/tech/i-finally-got-used-to-the-new-ios-...

The article makes an interesting point about the search focus. I wonder if there were plans for AI assisted search? That is a direction that could explain why search became so prominent.

From reading this thread I’m glad I’m not alone. It seems their “compact” mode has a bunch of invisible gestures that you’re just supposed to know about.

Luckily I’ve also discovered that you can revert back to “bottom” tab mode in the settings, which brings back something similar to the old UI.

As a long time Android user, I find these magical gestures frustrating difficult to discover. How on earth is someone supposed to guess such a gesture exists, and how am I supposed to guess the rules for when certain gestures work and certain gestures don’t?

Even long time friends who are iOS fanatics, and who have used iOS since the beginning are often surprised when I show them a new gesture I’ve learnt. Am I missing something? I’m really grateful to learn this now but I can’t imagine the “Apple way” is to stumble upon these by forum comments?

In the west we have “No Animals Were Harmed in the making of …”, which I’m only just learning comes from the American Humane Society: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Humane_Society#No_A...

I had always thought it were a generic phrase!

httpx also supports sync and async, but I remember seeing an issue in their repo about worse performance than aiohttp.

Not to mention sync_to_async and async_to_sync are also part of a library, asgiref that the Django developers made to wrap a thread pool runtime!
