Readit NewsI just tried it on NixOS 24.05. It starts, but nothing happens when I click "Open a project" or Ctrl+O. It's as if it lacks the ability to show a file selection dialog.
Could this be your issue? https://zed.dev/docs/linux#opening-files-does-not-work

For the commenters here: do we have something like VimR [1] for OSes other than the Mac that provides a file explorer sidebar with smaller font size (probably sans)?

The toggle is supposed to convey immediateness, like a light switch turning on bluetooth is immediate.
A checkbox is like filling a form, it requires submission for the action to take place.
This assumption breaks if you use macOS. Windows uses (or used to use) Apply button in its settings. Macintosh OSes were reactive from the start. Which means that checkboxes have immediate-ness on Macs.

I've been using fzf ctrl+r for a while now, but i'll give ethis a try. Also didn't realize homebrew for linux exists!
As a non-Mac user I really want to know why one would prefer Homebrew on Linux.
My assumption is OS package manager would always have more packages compared to Homebrew, and I don't know if Homebrew on Linux even supports GUI packages or not.

Python is a rough language to be productive in. It's a great scratchpad, but dynamic typing, exceptions/poor error handling, and a horrifying deployment and dependency system make me reach for something like Go in any case where I need something to be even vaguely reliable.
The more ML I do, the more disappointed I get.
Ever tried gluing Go with either Python or JavaScript? I'm interested in learning what libraries are there to glue them and how complicated and slow they could be.

Hi folks!
Telltail [1] lets you copy text from one device onto another. If you've used or ever known about Apple's Universal Clipboard, it is quite like that. It uses Tailscale [2] to achieve this.
I must tell you that setting it up requires you to have some familiarity with the terminal (which already comes installed on your computer).
I've written a blog post about it which you can find here [3]. The instructions to install it are here [4].
It is a personal project of mine and is not affiliated to or promoted by any org.

To this day I haven't found a teacher who could express complex ideas as clearly and concisely as Starmer does. It's written in an almost children's book like format that is very easy to read and understand. He also just published a book on NN that is just as good. Highly recommend even if you are already an expert as it will give you great ways to teach and communicate complex ideas in ML.
