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?
@@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.
I can only attempt to express how thankful I am for this video! clear, concise, immediately actionable. you resolved a lot of minor annoyances, notably finder and added several tools to my productivity workflow. keep up the amazing content, and hope to continue to receive insightful knowledge such as this!
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!!

Thank you so much. I’ve just reformatted my M1 to use it for Python programming and this was such a big help to create a nice blank yet productive base to work from.
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!
I am an old CS person. Through the 80s - 2011 I was using Sun servers running Sun OS or Solaris. I am tired of using Microsoft. Seeing these new MacBook Pro M3 laptops, I am thinking of getting one. Love the command line. Any thoughts about switching? I want to have at least one other monitor at home perhaps two.
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
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.
One question, do you recommend a MacBook air m3 16Gb to develop Apps with KMP? Is it enough to use Android Studio XCode with different emulators? Or it is worth jumping to the 18Gb macbook pro m3 pro. Thank you very much for your videos.
After a verylong time very useful video, thank you for making it. I could not understand how were you getting intellisence in terminal, could you point some resources for it?
+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.
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?
5:03 - "Rectangle - a MacOS windows manager" Why on earth Apple doesn't include such functionality as standard in MacOS is beyond me. I honestly think it is one of the biggest painpoints of MacOS...
I'm not sure if this was mentioned, but Emmett has an expansion where you type lorem# (# is some number) and it expands to that many words of lorem ipsum filler.
great educational video. Can you please let me know, how to show the icon of folder when typing "cd" in your iterm2 as in your video? It is a special zsh theme?
For the terminal junkies among us, Time Warrior is a really nifty free time tracker(cross-platform?). Bit arcane at first, and reporting could be improved, but so lightweight to use 😊
Thank you, great video. Question, what MacOS version are you currently using? I'm using 13.4 and see that Homebrew doesn't have a pre-compiled package for some of the softwares that I am trying to install and would need to build from source. Is that how you went about this?
I‘d really like to have sensible keyboard shortcuts in Finder. The default ones are most annoying, because nothing you‘d expect works: F2 for rename, enter to navigate to folder, delete to delete files,…
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 !
Paste is the clip board manager I use. It allows you to categorize your pastes e.g. common sh commands I really like it and it syncs between my iphone/ios devices
I love my customized Linux environment but tbh linux battery life sucks so much and sometimes I just want a machine that works flawlessly with screen sharing and connecting to bluetooth devices and everything when I have an important meeting.
Yes I definitely want to spend 3 days in toxic forums trying to get wifi to work and dialing in the fractional scaling perfectly, only for all of it to break a month later after a kernel update. Been there, done that, bought the Macbook, everything works perfectly.
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).
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.
hmm...good guide. just not for me. I am coding in Nvim using Tmux and want to curate my dev tooling from one repository. so I prefer to have control about my configs and plugins and tools and can set it up in 3 minutes by cloning my repo and run a script. It is way too much "mouse clicks" for me....
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.
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.
Most of features of Mac UI are outdated and clumsy Mac2023 == Linux 2008. I absolutely hate finder. Sadly driver issues on linux drove me away... I bough Mac M1 purely for it's battery life. I just wish I could use Gnome3 or other linux desktop on Mac to be more efficient.
Hey Arjan, "Free workshop" word is haunted because of the MLM and finance influencers, if it is not a scheme to enroll me for free and then try to milk me, you should really phrase your sentence differently,
Bro, it literally is that. This dude can barely code his way out of a paper bag, cannot even use basic VSCode shortcuts and doesn't even use vim motions despite having vim emulation installed in VSCode. Dude's a hack.
Dude. Drop the VIM extension. You really are not using it as far as I can tell. I love VIM in the right context. But VS Code has so many other features you are not using like F2 (rename) and CTRL-D multiple select, etc., etc., etc. I use vim exclusively when editing system level files in *NIX like systems like macOS, linux or raspianOS. But never in a programmers editor or IDE. Be good to yourself.
I was suppose to get a computer refresh this week.. I was finally gonna get a m1 MacBook.. Then the boss denied my request and said "consultants only get HP laptops..". Im so angry that I have to downgrade and endure another frustrating 3 years of slow computers that can barely hold 10 browser tabs up... I would gladly buy my own m2 pro and have them configure it for their companies adoptions and what not. they could even keep the thing after im gone.. I just want a smooth work computer :/ haha this is like salt in the wound 🥲

Never blur passwords, always completely remove/blackout!
Or use a collection of blurred versions of some friendly words to give the de-blurrers something to do...
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?

great viedo, any chance you could run through how you have set up some of the tools (specifically iTerm2)?
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!
Can I know how do you do the iTerm trick that makes iTerm sits at upper part of the window? Is it a separate window or a separate tab? Thank you!
When in iTerm2 go to “keys” tab, then “hotkey”. Click create a dedicated hotkey window. There you go.

do you use Bash or zsh for shell?
Hello
I need to divided my screen into four windows. Exists a method?
Which keyboard are you using?
What kind of lights are those on the wall?
Your keyboard sounds fantastic! What model is it?
How safe is Homebrew? Can it for example access my saved passwords?

Espanso is a free text replacement option - open source.

Wow, your condescending comment was not expected. Your reply shows you might want to work on your anger issues.
Hi Arjan, this is nice video. But how do you solve docker issues on Apple Silicon?
your keyboard sounds awesome! haha
Last part was the most useful to me
5:03 - "Rectangle - a MacOS windows manager"
Why on earth Apple doesn't include such functionality as standard in MacOS is beyond me. I honestly think it is one of the biggest painpoints of MacOS...
Microsoft has a patent I believe 😢
Design philosophy mostly. macOS does have tools for window management but they are very different from how you'd do it in Windows.
I'm not sure if this was mentioned, but Emmett has an expansion where you type lorem# (# is some number) and it expands to that many words of lorem ipsum filler.
Thanks for sharing!
It's my pleasure! Thank you for the kind comment, Leonardo!
great educational video. Can you please let me know, how to show the icon of folder when typing "cd" in your iterm2 as in your video? It is a special zsh theme?
OH, I find the icons after the installation of Fig. Thanks for your content.

How did you set contro+option+space in item2 ? :)

Thank you so much for this video. Some great suggestions!
Thanks for this! I was actually asking about fig in your poetry video without realizing 😂
Happy to help!
woah im a developer and right now i have minimal productivity, this is just what the doctor ordered
is there any way to show terminal from top of screen in Windows OS?

what plugin or setting do you use for the folder completion in the terminal?
It was "Fig"

Thank you for this video. Do you know how to install / compile prophet using pyenv or conda? (for python 3.11.2) Happy Easter!
thank you perfect!
You’re welcome!
Can you create a video about python metaclasses because it's difficult to understand
Noted!
What is the autocomplete thing called?
What kind of macbook do you recommend for web developers?
Any will do lol; you don't need a powerful machine to write code.
Hey Arjan, Thanks to teach us so amazing helpful tips. I just want to say I wonder why don't you put more energy on your voice.
This is really helpful! Thank you
You're so welcome!
Nice, but the most productive of all is missing; raycast. Especially when you configure it for opening vs code projects and many many more
@Patrick, where can I learn more about setting up Raycast to handle VS Code projects?
How does raycast compare to Alfred?
If you want to make key repeat rate even shorter, run this in terminal: defaults write -g KeyRepeat -int 1
Love it thanks dude
nice video!
Bravo! Thank you.
Welcome!
Fig is a deadend. Currently not accepted new signups.
Great info
Thanks for watching!
Raycast replaces and improves on most of these tools

Did you tried d2 instead of mermaid?
Curious, how many people work on Arjan Codes team?
Just a few, we are a small team :)
Really great app recomendations 🙌

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)
Paste is the clip board manager I use. It allows you to categorize your pastes e.g. common sh commands I really like it and it syncs between my iphone/ios devices
Finder Tip:
Press CMD + SHIFT + . (period)
This will show/hide hidden files.
Development on Mac since the move to Apple Silicon has been considerably less convenient. No GDB or Valgrind, and goodbye to support for GCC < 12.

Maccy doesn't look as useful as alfred copy-paste history or the other popular similar tool
I would love a video on getting python under control. I feel like my environments and versions always get screwed up.
