Same here. I gave up on Protonmail, even after getting my family to switch to it. Ultimately the lack of good email searching was a dealbreaker. Fastmail has been great, especially with a custom domain and masked emails (the 1Password integration that auto creates them is great when it works).

Seems that Protonmail has made some improvements for the searching but people are still complaining. Oddly enough I'm also using Mullvad but I couldn't be bothered to get it via Tailscale as I share my subscription with my dad.

Props for making such a beautiful and useful website! I was surprised to see how well it works on both mobile and desktop. What did you use for the search feature at the top?


Thanks so much! I'm using Fuse.js: https://fusejs.io/, which parses through a JSON file with all the post titles and descriptions.


If you don't mind me asking, what visa are you on? H1-Bs are limited to 6 years so I'm guessing another temporary visa.


Probably because "Hindu Switcheroo" rhymes


Another alternative is yobai (+ skhd) https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai

I switched to it after having some issues with rectangle sending some of my windows into the abyss (way outside of the screen) which forced me to kill the app and restart it to get it back. But if Rectangle works for you that's good too, it's probably easier to configure.


yabai is the only alternative if you are used to i3wm or bspwm


Did you disable kernel security to inject the window server extensions? I don’t understand the repercussions so I’m a little reluctant to.


Same, and this really makes it a deal breaker for me in my company's MacBook pro.


You don't have to do that, it works without. Those are for addons I believe.


Magit is another popular alternative for emacs https://magit.vc

I wonder if anyone has gone from lazygit to magit or the other way around. As someone who uses emacs for my day to day dev work I can't see myself changing.


Not that I would switch away from Emacs itself, but I can see myself using Emacs just for Magit even if I was not using it for anything else. Magit is just that good. (Consider sponsoring Jonas on Github if you use and love Magit so that he can keep making it awesome. https://github.com/sponsors/tarsius)


The edamagit extension for VS Code is also fairly good: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kahole.m...


It's not only about new hires. You will have to figure out things about code that you wrote 3/6/12 months ago.


But you can write code you can understand 12mo from now but have that same code be inscrutable to a new hire. Definitely different litmus tests.


Can you opt out of the course if you manage to enter a valid tar command on your first try?


tar --help


man tar


That's not a `tar` command, that's a `man` command about tar.


Perhaps they can opt out if they know how to fork bomb without looking it up
