One quirk that's always bugged me is that ā„+. doesn't work in VSCode terminal (to repeat the last parameter of the previous command, cycling through history). Also any ā„ combination. Found the solution this morning
{
"terminal.integrated.macOptionIsMeta": true,
"terminal.integrated.sendKeybindingsToShell": true
}

It seems like every other day I'm seeing new tools for scraping the web to Markdown. I would like to point out two of my own that seem to be constantly overlooked in the fray:
Gather: https://github.com/ttscoff/gather-cli ā a solid command line tool that performs a custom Arc90 readability, advanced Markdown conversion (handling footnotes, tables, etc.) and integrates well as a skill in your AI assistant (working on an MCP for it)
Marky: https://fuckyeahmarkdown.com (a web-based tool with optional readability and an API for automation, ostensibly also usable as a skill)
While upgrading RuboCop in a project, I noticed three new style cops in v1.85.0.
I almost skipped them. At first I thought they were just syntax sugar but I think they are nice additions and they make Ruby code match better with the language idioms.
@wdlindsy This upcoming midterm elections will be interesting.
Republicans control, directly or indirectly, most news outlets.
@rands Jetbrains is my usual driver, but I've been surprisingly happy for months with Cascadia Code.
When I played this game a few years ago, https://www.codingfont.com, I got JetBrains.
I recently wrote a #ruby gem to compare two SimpleCov runs: simplecov-compare. I wrote up a long-form post on my blog about why and how it works.

Shoppers and pedestrians look up in confusion as the legendary rock riff echoes through the streets, turning a normal afternoon into a surreal live performance ringing from the sky. Carillons are traditional church bell instruments found across the Netherlands and Belgium, usually used for classical music or hymns. Modern players, however, sometimes surprise audiences by adapting famous songs for the bells. Hearing a heavy metal anthem like āAce of Spadesā played on centuries-old church bells creates a bizarre but unforgettable mix of sacred tradition and rebellious rock energy.".
