GitHub's own gh tool is really useful for things like this, as its builtin api subcommand¹ performs authenticated requests. Using that you can also see private repos and GitHub Enterprise usage …

> The UK is an island nation too. True, but it also has an open land border. There are a bunch of subtleties to the definition of island nation¹, some of which make UK borders erm… interesting². ¹…

My bad, that was an uncharitable way to phrase it. I didn't mean to imply that you are filling inboxes, but more that I believe it tilts the balance in that direction.

I find it surprising that you only had one "stop spamming me" reply. I've cancelled two services that have sent similar mails, and I figured I wouldn't be /that/ unusual…

OT: As pointless as that full overlay progress bar is on a text article, it really is quite simple and pretty. Now, if only it was in a noscript…

I may have poorly made my point. It isn't that bisect is /only/ useful with good commit messages, but many subcommands are vastly improved when there is meaningful information about th…

I was trying to track down a problem in the nim-lang/Nim repo, and had a similar impression. During a `git bisect` run I thought I'd made a mistake as I saw duplicate messages pop up, until…

My favourite "oh, Babbage" story is his letter to Tennyson¹. It shares a lot in common with the linked noise nuisances, as he appears to genuinely want to improve society². It is just that…

Noting that you also didn't ask, but git-fiddle¹ is a nice addition that wraps rebase. You can directly edit commit metadata, such as date and message, from within the rebase template when using…

I use both, but don't really feel like there is a useful comparison. My lightly patched st /feels/ better IME, but it doesn't have anywhere near the same featureset. kitty has its…

There is also switchlang¹ which isn't quite the same thing, but provides some of the functionality of PEP-622 and pampy. I believe it is notable for including a nice descriptive README, and …

The Infantorium was also a thing. People paid a quarter to gaze upon the wonder of premature babies displayed in incubators¹. While an infantorium still feels awful as a general concept, it did provi…

And for UK readers who missed it on the BBC last night, it is also available for free on iPlayer for ~month¹. Note that it is under the Arena branding if you're searching for yourself. [Non-UK: …

[only kinda related, but...] Micromorts feature a fair amount on Tim Harford's excellent More or Less¹ show. It strikes me that people who like the micromort as a topic would probably find the p…

> SoX is amazing . 100% agree. The man pages are chock full of examples too, which is great because the tool does a lot . Some of the examples are really interesting too, such as the delay effec…

Perhaps you're aware, and I missed the nuance... but, geany uses the scintilla engine as its editor component¹. I was once a pretty heavy SciTE user, and it surprises me how often you can spot i…

The addition of the diffing and conversion tools are a great improvement for my usage. I've previously hacked up similar things using squashfuse¹, but these are a lot better. 1. https:/&#x…
