They just realised a new image generation a couple of weeks ago, why are you eager for another one so soon?
Are the image generation improvements available via API? Don't think so
Readit Newsnanook commented on Apple M4 MacBook Air review: I have no notes arstechnica.com/apple/202... · Posted by u/tosh
Personal wish list:
- Right-side USB-C
- Slightly brighter display
- Slightly wider hinge angle
- Option for nano-texture display, just like the MBP
- WiFi 7
Apparently the M4 Air has a slightly wider hinge angle than the M3 Air

For me, the value proposition is twofold:
- the multidevice sync allows me to write both as an impulse (on my phone) and structurally (on my computer)
- I derive value from Obsidian. It is genuinely very good. I want this company to have a decent survival chance.
How is obsidian sync any different/better than putting your vault on gdrive/icloud etc?

I don't use ST3 as my daily driver (I use BBEdit instead - still not on the VSCode train), but I do use it for lots of random editing and scratch needs.
Shameless plug - I wrote a plugin ages ago which makes it possible to replace and sort text using Python code (https://nneonneo.github.io/sublime-replace-with-python/). This little plugin has been incredibly useful for certain tasks, and serves both as a useful prototyping tool (playing with text modifications before implementing a full-blown script) as well as a general-purpose text wrangling utility. Basically, you can select some text (or find it with regex), then activate the plugin and type a line of Python code; it will then run the code for each selection region and produce the replacement. Sorting works similarly - select some regions, enter an expression as a sort key, and the selections will be rearranged according to the key.
I love how a plugin I wrote nearly a decade ago is still working with essentially no changes needed since 2017. Stable software is reliable software!
Why BBEdit? What languages do you code in?

The standard first 3 R4 keys (control, option/alt, command/win) are 1.25x width while the "true" Mac layout has those at 1x width to prevent the spacebar from having to migrate too far to the right (even though it's still a bit farther right than normal). This means to serve the niche of fn muscle memory users of the niche of Mac keyboard users you not only need the create the custom positional layout but custom keycaps (and the board/firmware you build it with must support layers to do fn in the first place). Then when you do all of this these people will still probably be uninterested because it's not some additional niche design criteria (70% vs 100%, low profile vs full size, split vs not, yadda yadda) anyways. All that is to say, there's a lot more going against it than just repositioning 1 key would seem.
I had a coworker who liked https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/products/mk-lowkey70-black. Basically "an external version of the MacBook keyboard with hotswap switches, RGB, and caps". Dunno that I've seen any full sized variants of the Mac layout though.
> niche of Mac keyboard users
Is it a niche though? Logitech, cheap BT keyboards etc mostly stick to this layout. And it's not just the left side that is the issue - they move fn to the right in place of the alt key. Can't cmd-alt-i with 1 hand anymore!
The only other keyboards I've seen with this mac-like layout are -
- https://nuphy.com/collections/keyboards/products/nutype-f1?v... which looks slick but I much prefer the 75% layout
- https://electronicmaterialsoffice.com/ which I can't justify paying for right now

Wow, this is almost exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks for the rec! It's a shame they don't ship to where I am right now. I'll try to pick one up next time I travel.

Why do they never make these with 4 modifier keys on the left side like Mac keyboards(Ctrl, Fn, Alt, Cmd)? Hate not being able to use muscle memory switching between my MBP and an external keyboard.

Now its a real joy checking my channel feeds on the weekend and queueing things up to watch later. I have excellent stuff to chew through when I feel like it - in the gym, cooking, cleaning etc. I really look forward to doing these things now.
Switching profiles takes a few clicks but the upside has been totally worth it. It's a shame they don't make this workflow more obvious (You have to go to Account -> Switch accounts -> View all channels -> Create a channel) to set this up.
I wish more social media allowed you to bucket your feed into "interests". Maximizing clicks/views doesn't have to come at the cost of scattered attention.
