This is exactly yak shaving as well.

The Urban Dictionary [1] defines it as: "Any seemingly pointless activity which is actually necessary to solve a problem which solves a problem which, several levels of recursion later, solves the real problem you're working on."

So it is a perfect fit for what you described.

This also came to my mind when I heard `rill`, coming from https://www.rilldata.com/ .

I'm loving it! So simple, yet exactly the thing needed to share a secret quickly in a secure manner over a non-secure channel, e. g. email. Still a fresh idea I've never seen elsewhere. Congrats and thank you for providing this!

Biggest issues for me: Subscription based payments and (biggest issue) missing option to adjust the keyboard shortuts. So I have to adjust my workflow and muscle memory to the tool instead of the other way around. For the rest it is a very nice looking client with a good amount of features (for my use case) and hats off to the developers.

Also `yazi` https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi , which is the closest nnn-replacement on Windows up until now.

Not on every Thinkpad. On a T14s the FN and Ctrl keys have different sizes.

Reading the headline, I initially thought that Microsoft bought the company behind XLWings [1], which also enables you to use Excel directly within Excel, even locally. Not affiliated in any kind to that company, just used it in the past.

I completely agree. I'm also trying to wrap my head around Nix on a non-NixOS system. My requirements are to just manage my dotfiles (successful with home-manager) and configuring my system/installing certain packages, so everyone on the host can e. g. start a docker container with Docker installed by Nix. Ideally all with flakes.

I suppose, I can't have the second part without NixOS, though ...

Oh gosh, better not focusing on SpaceX and Tesla. He would destroy these two companies as well. As read somewhere (here at HN?), both have departments to distract Musk once he visits them, so he doesn't create much harm. Musk is not the genius some people think he is. The companies have good engineers, that's it.

Anyone has some experience with Kivy [1]? It seems that it checks off some of my requirements, like cross-platform, supporting touch interfaces, ease of development, allows complex/fancy UIs as well, etc.
