Intro

Karabiner and KMonad are great open source software. Don't forget to support the authors and contributors.

If you want to try home row mods on OSX, don't use Karabiner but KMonad. KMonad is harder at the beginning but then it is easier than Karabiner. Creating layers in KMonad is trivial and without drawbacks, while it is impossible in Karabiner without drawbacks.

You need to compile a PR of the project. Install https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-DriverKit-VirtualHIDDevice/releases/download/v2.1.0/Karabiner-DriverKit-VirtualHIDDevice-2.1.0.pkg

Comparison of syntax extensions in Markdown flavors

I created a crude comparison of the syntax of the various common Markdown extensions to have a better view on what are the most common extensions and what is the most widely accepted syntax for them. The list of Markdown flavors that I looked at was based on the list found on CommonMark's GitHub Wiki.

Flavor	Superscript	Subscript	Deletion* Strikethrough	Insertion*	Highlight*	Footnote	Task list	Table	Abbr	Deflist	Smart typo	TOC	Math	Math Block	Mermaid

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.
