Is there a picture-in-picture equivalent for apps?
Afloat - Don't know if it will work for macOS 12. If it's just for safari alone, you can try Pennywise

Keep a window "on top" M1 Mac.
Hi! Apart from Afloat (which is not updated for a while now) there's an app called Rectangle. Although it doesn't keep windows on top of other windows - it's a great tool to organize or "snap" your apps through keyboard shortcuts.

My favourite Git commit (2019)
This bad commit message keeps resurfacing on HN front page like beach litter. I would just go with "Remove non-breaking space characters" instead of writing a Russian novel. Also, if you're on macOS just use a Karabiner rule [0] that converts all non-breaking space characters to regular space characters to prevent yourself from accidentally typing it out.

emacs has ruined my navigation in other apps
On macOS I use Karabiner-Elements. I remapped right Command to Control and now have two Control and two Meta keys, and can use one hand for modifier keys and the other for letter. For the occasional Command I use the left one. I’ve also extended a bit Emacs complex modifications and I’m quite happy withe the setup. Caveat: I think that due to how I use modifier keys the double keys combinations don’t always work. But have never debugged it deeper.

How to Start Dictation on macOS with a Microsoft Surface Ergonomic Keyboard
I was using my friend's Microsoft Surface Ergonomic Keyboard when I was staying at their house for a few days. I really liked the keyboard so I bought one for myself. It's a great keyboard, but the function key behavior is a bit annoying. Pressing the function key just toggles a little light on the key, and doesn't actually send any keypress event. macOS also thinks that this keyboard has a globe key for some reason. So it took me a long time to figure out how to start dictation and come up with this workaround that I posted on StackExchange.
I actually really enjoyed finding a solution for this problem, and I'm really impressed with Karabiner-Elements. I've been reading through the complex rule examples on their documentation site [1], and there's some really cool ideas.
I like the idea of setting up keyboard shortcuts to launch apps [2]. There's also a safeguard for command-q, so you always have to press it twice. (Google Chrome already does this, so you could set up a condition to ignore the rule if Google Chrome is the active application.)
