Last month I walked across Spain.
Here are some reflections from the experience.

How To: Highlight Text Fragments When Linking
weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2024/08/08/how-to-highlight-text-fragments-when-linking
A highlighted result
In recent months, I’ve begun to notice that results from web searches often highlight specific text on the page to which they’re linking. The web page is also scrolled to the relevant content. It’s quite helpful!
A quick investigation showed this is accomplished by appending a bit of code, #:~:text= to the URL for a link. These are called Text Fragments, and they’ve been supported by Chrome since back in 2020. It took a couple more years for support to come to Safari, but at this point, the element is well-supported enough to be worth using

hachyderm.io/@danilo/112440849765087243An ongoing pattern in the AI march:
- the hardware efficiency improves
- the software efficiency improves
So I continue to argue that energy consumption as a PRIMARY criticism of AI is going to be unpersuasive, as incentives drive down the energy costs with time, and all critique of the energy costs is just as applicable to conventional cloud computing, which we have already accepted into our social bargain
(and which underpins every single tech salary)
so instead:

If you use poetry to manage your venv for each repo, you can also do: poetry shell to use start the virtualenv, and then run nvim . to start coding.
Provided that your dap is setup like this:
local dap = require("dap")
dap.configurations.python = {
{
type = "python",
request = "launch",
name = "Launch file",
program = "${file}",
pythonPath = "python",
},
}

Giving [@zellij](https://hachyderm.io/@zellij) a try as [#tmux](https://mastodon.social/tags/tmux) replacement…
And it feels so "done right", just like when I moved on from (neo)vi(m) after decades to [#HelixEditor](https://mastodon.social/tags/HelixEditor)
The fundamental stuff just works and doesn't need a ton of tweaking, plugins and config debugging.
Getting started is made easy by the fact, that the UI doesn't hide its functionality behind a steep learning curve, but instead shows contextual hints for keyboard shortcuts, actions etc.
Something both, [#zellij](https://mastodon.social/tags/zellij) and [#HelixEditor](https://mastodon.social/tags/HelixEditor) just get right!

Wow, my initial impression is excellent! Start at: phanpy.social
Includes everything I want, excludes lots of junk that I don’t. Easy on the eyes. I’m sure there will be flies in the ointment eventually, but seriously considering adopting this as my everyday web client.
