TIL I have a "open Hacker News" hand reflex
I'm glad I'm not the only one. If I type 'n' into any browser it autocompletes to HN.

As others have said, a full size HDMI port would be nice. However, I've been very satisfied with my JetKVM. I was about to order the GL.iNet KVM they just launched, but I ended up picking up another JetKVM now that sales are open.
My use-case is that I have it connected to an Raspberry Pi which I use to test the RPi builds of my application. I just ordered a second to connect to a mini-PC which is the minimum spec supported by my application. It has made my testing experience very smooth.
Another thing to consider is that, once you are medicated, you have a whole new set of skills to develop.
I remember when I started taking ADHD meds and I was like “wow I can focus now” and proceeded to focus with all my might on the wrong thing.
My rule of thumb is: Whatever I am doing when the meds start working is what I'm going to be doing.
What was the hyprland-specific issue?
They were definitely my fault, to be clear. There was a crash at launch (I don't remember the cause exactly) and being unable to copy to clipboard when using the wlr-layer-shell extension. Those likely affected other compositors, but I did not catch them on Gnome when I was doing the majority of development and testing.
The real story with Omarchy is Hyprland. Feels like the first time the desktop Linux is not only fun but that there's a far better case being made for switching to desktop Linux over Windows, not only because of less resource usage, but also a new (old) paradigm in tiling windows, repackaged in a way that doesn't make people want to smash their computer.
Hyprland itself comes with such nice defaults that it isn't surprising at all that it's getting as much attention as it is, for better or worse.
I can absolutely echo your sentiment. I recently released some software which has Wayland support. Immediately, I got some bug reports from Hyprland users so I setup a partition with EndeavourOS + Hyprland to work out the issues. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, as you said, the defaults are nice. Configuring it was a breeze as well. Now about 2 weeks later I am daily driving the system I setup for testing and am working to switch fully to it from macOS.
directmusic commented on CSS's problems are Tailwind's problems colton.dev/blog/tailwind-... · Posted by u/coltonv
Say what you want about Tailwind's usefulness, but the author's claim in the section titled "Rule sets" is objectively false. In the Tailwind documentation they mention the @apply directive which allows you to use Tailwind's styles in your primary stylesheet.
Here is the portion of the documentation which talks about this: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives#apply-...
In my own project, I moved to Tailwind recently and found @apply to be very useful. I experiment with the inline styles and move them to a CSS class when (and if) needed. Additionally, the Tailwind CLI translates the states like hover: and active: as well. I personally have found it super convenient.

And again another irresponsible person comes to try and whisper in my ear “try it again”. Absolutely horrific morality
They did not do that.

I primarily do macOS development work and use Instruments for profiling, but have been working on Linux a lot lately and Hotspot has been pulled out a lot over the last few weeks. Highly recommended.

Something like this should be default in MacOS. I use blackhole daily in my audio production and sound design practices. If you use a modern audio interface you might have a loopback available there.
macOS 14.2 implemented something like this in Core Audio, but it is not user facing (and also documented extremely poorly). You can create a "Tap" that can capture audio from a particular application, or subset of applications, or an output device. This can then be added to a private or public Aggregate Device (depending on the Tap being private or public).

I love this feature in Gnome and use it all the time, I actually miss this feature when I use macOS, would love to be able to hold command and drag a window without needing to select title bar. It sounds like System 76 are really working on a super productive desktop, I look forward to trying it some day.
You can do this on macOS. However, you need to hold Cmd+Ctrl.
