your favorite little computer program hoonja-doonja (mac version)

no RPN no credibility

RPN all the way. Using the HP theme for full effect.

i was a math major but i could just never get with rpn

huh, interesting. i was viewing a pdf in preview, and outside of that i updated the underlying file and generated a new pdf for it, and preview automatically redrew the newest version. wouldn't have thought it would do that.

it does do that, very useful for TeX things.

Search box is my calculator

lol yes it me

someone described Pro Office Calculator as the Frog Fractions of calculators. if that sentence is not gibberish to you, it may be worth playing around with

hmmm. so it's NOT really a calculator, you're saying

i mean, it DOES work as a calculator, for a while

the finder sorts numbers in filenames in a natural-language order now!

e.g.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
07
8
9
10
11

Didn’t it always?

huh i guess the internet says it's been there since 10.0, which would mean i should have noticed it before 10.14. but i came up on system 7 and unix and got used a long time ago to prefixing the filenames i wanted to sort right with 0s

i'm still getting so much delight out of my time-warp OS upgrade, what a wonderful life

apple does this according to a sanctioned alternative of the UNICODE COLLATION ALGORITHM

gonna try to master this multi-touch gesture:

Show desktop
Spread your thumb and three fingers apart to show your desktop.

i always forget about that one

i already forgot it

same

yet here i am doing it now, thinking about useful it would be

i still use fingers-together for launcher and feel like a boss every time

best reminder app for macos? like something that can just flash up the word "posture" every 30 minutes

i have settled on Time Out - it's v good

DENTAL PLAN

i just excitedly searched the app store for "dental plan"

saxamaphone, $3.99, reminder app but only for telling to get the reeds for the thingy that your daughter plays

my new coworker uses Time Out to trigger breaks, seems like there's a lot of configuration you can twiddle depending on your behavior-modification needs

bah Time Out wants me to pay a subscription SORRY MY DUDE THAT IS NOT THE WAY OF THE HOONJA DOONJA

playing around with these pomodoro things to see if i can make one work for what i want

If you spend most of your time in a browser there’s probably an extension that does this

Stand up! https://getstandapp.com

Maybe this is the hoonja-doonja Tracer Hans is looking for.

Of course it’s probably going to tell Facebook you are slouching.

hoonja doonjas must be software only!!

Chris i think yours is exactly what i'm looking for

xp what kinda dark angel fuckin shit is that?!?

Beta of Reeder 4 is out https://beta.reeder.ch

I love Reeder; fantastic app

is it better than instapaper?

Free trial of Rhino 3D

reeder is a feed reader, whereas instapeper aiui is still a bookmark/offline reader for articles you have already found and want to bookmark or read.

Although the latest version seems to have some Instapaper-like functionality too

got it

I stopped using instapaper for Pocket after instapaper stopped working well. Pocket is way better.

I use reeder on my phone but find Feedbin so good that I just do all my feed reading via browser.

instapaper works now, fwiw

i tried pocket for a few months during the great data protection fail that felled instapaper but several times it grabbed just the first few grafs of a story, which was just enraging

I didn't like it as much but w/ both apps I usually just link to the original anyway. Pockets saving and integration with other things and everything is good. At first I hated it, but now I don't regret dropping instapaper.

But if people haven't tried Feedbin, it's killer. It syncs with Reeder so I use Reeder on the iphone. If Feedbin made a native app it'd own.

Pretty happy with Inoreader. Their native app is pretty good but I’ll always stick with Reeder. The only feature I’ve ever missed is the ability to sync unread items beyond one month (but I guess the problem is with the aggregator not the reader)

Just as another data point (I may have mentioned this elsewhere), but when Reeder was languishing I switched to News Explorer and haven't switched back.

Does that have a central backend or does it poll each RSS feed individually and locally? Because that's the old NNW model and I never want to return to that

still v happy with bazqux for all my feed management (with reeder for phone) tho i like the reeder 4 beta.

I'm still on the hunt for the perfect solution for news/feed-reading. Fear my preferred method isn't available yet. I had to google "bazqux" after you namedropped it just now, Fizzles. It did not disappoint tbh:

Not free, not freemium

Being paid service reader updates feeds of paying and trial users only. It doesn’t get rate limited by site owners for fetching millions of free users feeds and updates your feeds in time. It designed for the needs of paying clients not for the nice screenshots and reviews. And you get real customer support here.

And we all know—free readers close.

I was gonna say that newsreader app reminds me of NetNewsWire... which apparently went back to the original developer last year and will be open source and free again?? What a world.

Baxqux is the business. And is like Pinboard in being happy with what it is, too

Does that have a central backend or does it poll each RSS feed individually and locally? Because that's the old NNW model and I never want to return to that

It's using iCloud for syncing and polling individually. Bazqux was never able to process a password-protected feed for me, which meant that I had to put those in Vienna - anyway, once News Explorer settled down it works great and syncs with my phone. Few apps support password-protected feeds, but it's a 100% must need for me.

are there any websites that observe dark mode settings in line with the 10.14.4 update?
