Very cool, I was just wishing for a tool like this today. A small feature request I would love to see: Support for custom delimiters. I sometimes work with CSVs that actually use pipe (|) as the delimiter to avoid issues with cells that contain commas as content.

I have used a one-handed keyboard for 20 years. My current set up is using

- A 25 key Macropad (really an external numpad) Something like this, for around $50 USD https://www.dhgate.com/product/25keys-macro-keyboard-kit-pro...

- The keyboard supports QMK, the customizable open source keyboard firmware

- I programmed my own layout using the Frogpad style layout others have mentioned. Its central feature is that it is what's known as a "chording keyboard" in which you hit multiple keys at the same time, like a piano chord, to trigger different letters.

- The reduced keys on the keyboard mean I can comfortably produce any character at normal speed with one hand without moving my wrist in a way that would cause RSI.

If you want more info or a copy of my QMK config let me know.

It's not a book, but the Python3 Deep Dive courses by Fred Baptiste on Udemy are very good at helping to understand the internals of python: https://www.udemy.com/user/fredbaptiste/ If the courses are pricey, remember that Udemy seems to have major sales every couple of weeks, so I'm sure they will come down in price again soon.

Can confirm pirateweather.net's forecast API working as a drop-in replacement for DarkSky's. I was able to fix a soon to be broken DarkSky bitbar script by just replacing the URLs/API keys to pirateweather's in under 5 minutes.

As someone who's documented a lot of users flows by hand this would be a really handy service. However, it'd be great if there was more of a demo available without a sign up. At the moment it seems like there's just a couple of tiny screeenshots and a single GIF showing what your product actually looks like. How about a sample screencast or a sample PDF of a finished guide?

Ethical considerations aside, this article had a huge impact on me and played a big part in getting me to finally learn to code. _why's style made the idea of coding very approachable for someone who didn't have a math/science background

It also allows you to "split" your terminal into multiple tabs, panes and windows, which makes it easy to hop back and forth between sessions in multiple environments. As others have said though the killer feature really is that you can run it on a remote machine and attach and detach at will.

Yeah, I probably take the Boston scene for granted, but at the same time I'm not looking to join the next future unicorn, I'm just looking for a steady job at a good company that I'll enjoy.
