I see this comment about how awesome Apple Trackpads are all the time here, and just assumed I was missing out because I'd never used a MacBook. But I got given a MacBook Pro recently for work, and I'm super underwhelmed. The trackpad on it is no better or worse than any other trackpad I've used.

Dani, whom the article mentions, has also worked on prosthetic arm replacements which are indeed modelled on tentacles. I don't have a link to hand but I'm sure some use of your favourite search engine would show this for you.

My last job was at a UK bank. All our *nix systems were configured with a specific whitelist of commands that could be run via sudo. We found this an enormous pain in the arse when the powers that be decided to deploy ansible everywhere, and found that none of its "become" methods would work if sudo was set up like that.

Is there an arm64 version of the docker image for the atuin server? I'd really like to be able to deploy this to my microk8s cluster.

Ah, so much this! Why do all these new utils not come with a man page? :(

Oh I don't know. I'm going to send this to a friend of mine who's an ex black cab driver. If he doesn't get full marks I'll be amazed.

Snagit got me into trouble twice at my last job, by phoning home even when I'd ticked off the preference for sending usage information (which appears you have to opt out of, rather than opt in to, which is a dark pattern in my book anyway). My employers monitored for all data leakage and my machine got flagged for this twice. So I uninstalled it and have never used it since. ShareX is my go-to now.

There's so many people in here saying "did you try it?" - and I signed up on the waiting list the day it was announced and still don't have access.

Absolutely love the Fermat reference at the end!

Huh. I've chatted to Dani several times (we go to the same bar and share a circle of friends). She is hella smart. Sadly she's yet to have had the third thumb with her whenever we've met, but I know a bunch of our mutual friends who've tried it and seemed to get on with it very quickly indeed. Did not expect to find it on the front page of hacker news though!
