I carry a knife specifically to stab people who pronounce my name that way (the Achmed way). ... yes, this is a joke.

You can use a managed switch to get this working if you have a router with too few ports. I have several gl.inet routers running openwrt but they all have 2/3 ports total. I put a TL-SG108E in front of them and use that to tag ports. T

This is one of my favourite things I've read on here, and it frames working on a team the way it should be framed! Going to adopt every part of it. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, they are less secure. VMs can rely on HW features to ensure memory isolation.

The strawman is reducing his comment to "really just a debate on ideal hours and the post fails to make an argument there." It's not about ideal hours at all. I'll post the entire comment here for anybody that might not

+1 csk is as good as it gets. Had him for my first CS class there and to the end of my time there, that class stood out both in terms of quality and enjoyment/engagement. If you're at Waterloo and have the chance to be in Craig&#x

It's common for the obvious cases and obvious constraints to be assumed. Adding "distinct" would have made it clearer, but it was obvious that the author meant distinct from reading the title alone.

In medicine those kinds of arrangements exist, but they charge 30% (I forget if it's off the top or the bottom).

Yeah I'm specifically responding to the question above. Some things like REST/HTML/XML are familiar enough that the initialism is as good as a dictionary word. SOAP, on the other hand, I forget what that was. Hopefully it&#x2

One of the 5 stages of grief: bargaining :) I have tried to use a couple of tools with better types on the job and on the "productive/industry" side of the spectrum. That consistently led to disappointment. It's been a w

It's way better when you learn the words. Now I understand it's about frequencies and channels. DFS to a software crowd will always expand to depth-first search. I was trying to figure out if that's what was being discussed h

I'm describing my experience. Feel free to live according to yours if it differs. Also, in jest: citation needed on the RMS claim. We can all play that game ad absurdium :)

Emacs is a great platform, but the default key mappings make it an RSI machine. If I recommend Emacs to anybody today, the first thing I would tell them is to: - enable evil mode and prefer its interface to vanilla Emacs - install doom-emac

If you can convince your crew to try something new, there are some great FPS games nowadays. I've enjoyed those, though I haven't been able to put in anywhere near your number of hours. - Squad - Escape from Tarkov - Rising Storm

In recent years, I have been spoiled by doom-emacs (and previously spacemacs). They have made everything work out of the box for me to such an extent that I mostly don't know what's active--I've just learned the right leader

Another problem is that it's a small set. If you had a list of all HN users, you could compute md5 for all of them in seconds.

Serves you right for disparaging The One True Language! Ok, fine, we'll present Idris with a fig leaf.

Paredit made a massive difference when I was writing Lisp. It does take some getting used to, but pretty sure it was a net positive after a week of use. I actually started enabling it when writing other languages (Python/C++) to see if

Unfortunately it's not very simple. Converting PS/2 signals to USB is trivial. USB to PS/2 is a different story. Only a small subset of USB keyboards support it. They keyboard basically needs to send PS/2 over USB.

As I clicked on the link, my mind was wondering how it would compare to the last DIY keyboard I saw ... which was trishume's. I should read the username before clicking :) Thank you for sharing your new workstation, Tristan. This one l

It's hard to keep an optimistic and creative imagination when the status quo is as bad as it is, but don't let the present malaise limit your horizons. There is more than one way out.
