Good list.

One option for the menus maybe is keyboard searching. Command-shift-/ aka Command-?then type the name and arrow navigate. (Key sequence might be wrong, it’s muscle memory at this point)

I wonder if Thaw could be modded to repeat the menu bar?

Dock can be hidden/revealed with a key sequence but I like the auto-hide with long delay to pop up idea, suggested elsewhere.

That’s funny because when I work with Fahrenheit I just work with 5°F ranges to compensate for the approximate mental math required. Eg very quick mentally, 100°F = 37.778 °C (thanks autocorrect) = (100-32)/2 = 34.

But if it was closer to freezing say 42°F =5.556 °C (again) so 5°C. So arbitrarily we could say 57°F was 12°C =53.6 °F actually.

But a true Canuck knows knowing the temp is barely half the battle, what’s the wind speed and humidity? 29°C can be a lovely day if it’s dry or completely unbearable if it’s humid.

We hardly ever use decimals for weather-related measurements, the other factors above being more relevant.

Contrast that with measurements where I would say if you need to know a precise one you should be using decimal; ie what do you do if it doesn’t precisely third or fourth? If you’re talking about tool sizes then any system works as long as your froodle matches the grommlet.

I had a longer reply but turfed it, but the global menu is based around muscle memory for eye and mouse locations. My personal experience sounds nothing like yours so I suspect we navigate very differently such that it impacts you far more than me.

I’m a heavy keyboard user so rotating apps and windows in apps means I always know where I am and don’t even notice the costs you’re talking about.

I like the idea but don’t want to sacrifice on cameras.

What is this thing I just discovered and now really need and they plan to destroy.

In GitHub we use an OIDC token to access some AWS resources. Locally I need to populate tokens etc and so I have an `if: ${{ACT}}` and a not condition to populate it.

It’s even worse than that, it’s 20GB compressed and 60GB uncompressed. Regardless, if your VM runs out of disk space there’s no meaningful error (well 12 months ago) except a failure to start. (Possibly colima-specific I dunno I uninstalled docker-docker)

I do find that some things just work locally and fail in real actions and vice versa. For the most part it’s made it easier to move the bar forward though.

I can’t see xitter because they say so, but this is likely speculation on next-next-gen 17 as next-gen 16 is about to be released.

Accessibility> Display & Text Size> Color Filters> On then top option is Grayscale.

Color Filters also has a true no blue mode for night.

It’s still called a via ferrata in France so this isn’t confusing at all. Source: did some near Annecy as well as Grenoble 20 years ago.

And Quebec fwiw but I only know of the one at Tremblant (which is paid).
