   Once you get use to it, you won't be able to imagine your life without Dash. It will save you a bit of time every day. Many times.

   As a bonus you can use the "snippets" feature as a generic text-expander. That saves me tons of time when writing emails, too.

   p.s. aText is not exactly a direct competitor; however, I replaced it through the snippets feature of Dash.

• Man pages are great, man readers are the problem

  Https://kapeli.com/dash for MacOS supports man pages just like any of its many other documentation sources. Just prefix the search query with `man:`. Absolute hall of fame app IMO. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Why "alias" is my last resort for aliases

  Yeah, I do something kind of similar, using Dash [1] snippets which expand to full commands. Since I'm almost always on my mac, it means they're available in every shell, including remote shells, and in other situations like on Slack or writing documentation. I mostly use § as a prefix so I don't type them accidentally (although my git shortcuts are all `gg`-consonant which is not likely to appear in real typing).... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Patterns for Personal Web Sites (2003)

  Yeah, I keep thinking that CHM was the peak format for offline docs. Today we have Kiwix [0] and Dash/Zeal [1] – both amazing projects, but somehow they feel more complex, and the formats they use aren’t as ubiquitous.

• Ask HN: What is one software product that boosted your productivity?

  Dash https://kapeli.com/dash Mac app. A native standardised search and browsing interface for the documentation of almost every programming language out there (and in some cases, their third-party libraries too). - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Rerun: Visualize Multimodal Data over Time

  Rerun is great. I wish they prioritize rerun_sdk build for iOS and/or Android - so that you can log remotely from mobile devices. Serializing and streaming images, depthmaps, sensors data in own code is a pain and rerun has done great work with that. A little worrying for me that rerun seems getting more complicated and verbose and API changes frequently. The whole vizualization code can clutter algorithm/code... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• I have made the decision to finally learn SQL. I don't have much knowledge about the language. I have downloaded Microsoft SSMS 2018 and that's about it.

  What is a good tutorial that can explain everything to me from the start that you have used yourself?There are lots of great tutorials out there, some mentioned already in this post. https://sqlzoo.net was what I started with years ago. If you'd like to start from the beginning, avoiding lectures and instead focusing on exercises, I would suggest https://sixweeksql.com since it targets MS SQL specifically and will...
