Man if this guy copied Mosh's feature-set it would be really awesome. edit: I guess I assumed something I shouldn't have

  It does not appear to be a "guy".

      I don't know that you read the definition you just quoted as carefully as you think you did.
      • mlindner 8y ago
        You're nitpicking this too much. "guy" is used by women and men, and probably others as well though I haven't heard it personally.

        The virtue signaling doesn't come off as genuine as you tried to convey it.
        • scandox 8y ago
          If it's virtue signalling to point out a lack of precision then...well...harrumph...etc
          • hjek 8y ago
            I think some people sometimes use guy in the more casual non-gender-specific way, myself included. Maybe it's a cultural or regional thing? And I guess it could be said that using guy is assuming the gender of someone, but one the other hand isn't that also assuming that the someone saying guy is making an assumption, etc, etc? Perhaps it's just a bit sad when a whole point is disregarded because of a single ambiguous word? I'd also find it cool if Mosh's features were available in Oxy, as it's great when using unsteady wifi connections, in trains and stuff.

              I have no problem with your original, or particularly with your use of "guy". But the dictionary excerpt seemed to clearly show that the usage was incorrect, as it only applies to groups. So my comment is entirely about the person who accused the other commenter of virtue signalling. And I agree with you about Mosh style features. That would be lovely.

                Maybe this from gcide is more appropriate: > From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]: > [...] > 4. A member of a group of either sex, usually a friend or comrade; -- usually used in the pl.; as, tell the guys to come inside; are any of you guys interested in a game of tennis?. [Informal] [PJC]

    It is a "guy": "Dylan Davis (@JennaMagius) is a senior security analyst at RiskSense. He has performed a variety of Fortune 500 incident response engagements, discovered new CVEs in major software, and performed vulnerability analysis on a wide variety of embedded devices."

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I was just going off the name and the fact that their (Github, I think?) bio described them as a "girl".

  I stand to be corrected, but I’m pretty sure Mosh uses SSH under the hood. Perhaps Mosh could be modified to support Oxy?
  • gnur 8y ago
    Mosh only uses SSH to setup the initial connection, when the handshake between server and client has been created SSH is no longer used.

      Thank you for clarifying.
