Never blur passwords, always completely remove/blackout!

@TeemuSa Год назад

Or use a collection of blurred versions of some friendly words to give the de-blurrers something to do...

@japandi780 Год назад

Genuine question, can you really de-blur something that blurred? If so, how would this even be done? Is there like an algorithm to the blur pattern that can reverse or something?

@rwz Год назад

@@japandi780 you can get close approximations of possible characters which result in the blurred version and this way make better guesses, if not completely reverse it, at what the blurred text originally said.

@japandi780 Год назад

@@rwz crazy, I didn’t think you could get anything from something so processed. I’ll bear this in mind if sharing anything with sensitive information.

@redabitar Год назад

Can I suggest something? I think it’s better to increase the scale of the display when you’re recording. Especially on mobile, it makes it much easier to see small text, and for example if the video quality is low it will still be clear :) Great video!!

great viedo, any chance you could run through how you have set up some of the tools (specifically iTerm2)?

@sherribooher7930 3 месяца назад

Go to iTerm2's Settings, select Keys tab, then open the Hotkey panel. Click on the "Create a Dedicated Hotkey Window..." button to set up your hotkey profile and record the hotkey you wish to use. Hope this helps!

@rima8583 Год назад

Thank you! Just one question, for iterm2, how to make the show/hide of transparent command line active even if we close the iterm2 app? It seems that it does not work if I don't have the iterm app open, and I don't want to keep the app open next to my open applications

@catarinayikake4820 Год назад

It does seem like iTerm2 needs to be active to show the transparent terminal. I always have it open, but no windows, just shortcut keys so I can always use the terminal.

When in iTerm2 go to “keys” tab, then “hotkey”. Click create a dedicated hotkey window. There you go.

I like using vim a lot but it is hard to debug python applications in it. I hoped that you could provide some insight into that, maybe someday you will find the time to learn how to use it an give us your opinion. I say that because you're my default go to channel when we talk about python development. Keep up the great work Arjan !

@alexbuccheri5635 Год назад

You probably want to integrate GDB into vim. Or my preferred option, go straight to the graphical debugger in Pycharm (and add vim key bindings)

@lonnythompson8131 9 месяцев назад

The default shell is zsh. Do you have to change to another shell such as "bash" to use brew? How to change shell? When using brew, what location should be used, for example installing perl5?

Espanso is a free text replacement option - open source.

@iamthezeo Год назад

+1 for Espanso! Very powerful options, but does require a bit more work to set up. The config is in yaml, so you can keep all your shortcuts and replacements backed up, for example in GH.

@dmmeteo Год назад

I prefer Spectacle instead of Rectangle. For me, it looks more friendly. For example, you can press the cmd+opt+left arrow a couple of times and it will resize your window for 50% > 25% > 75%. In Rectangle you must learn the special shortcuts for this behaviour.

@michael_baron Год назад

I thought Spectacle is not developed anymore and won't work on the M1 Macs. But maybe I"m wrong. I think Reactangle also allows you to cycle through widths.

@dmmeteo Год назад

@@michael_baron it works fine with M1. but I must check Rectangle again, maybe the current version become better than ~1 year ago. :)

Rectangle can have this behavior as well. Spectacle isn't developed anymore, and Rectangle is the de facto replacement.

I have a real love-hate relationship with Brew. It's great if you keep things updated, but does not play well with older machines and OS versions (e.g. production systems that the customer doesn't keep up to date). I know it's not the real focus of this channel, but it would be interesting for you to compare to working on Linux (latest Gnome is very nice) or Windows (probably WSL, maybe even goofy WSLg).

@MrEo89 Год назад

The brew team is also sunsetting all support for every version that Apple doesn’t support anymore. Ali have a Mac running 10.15.7 Catalina and building everything from source has become a 9 hour pain in the ass. Looking at you .. node, rustc, and llvm.

Dude. Drop the VIM extension. You really are not using it as far as I can tell. I love VIM in the right context.
