Vim supports multiline editing and I'd imagine emacs does as well. In bash/zsh, <ctrl-x ctrl-e> opens up $EDITOR so you can use whatever you're accustomed to anyhow. Most of these features are already available if one s

A company receiving receiving $23 million usd to build a terminal is about the dumbest thing I've seen this month. I would've figured it to be a April Fools joke if posted a few days earlier. Why is a company building a terminal

These gardens sound like federated social networks, like mastodon or pleroma hosts in the Fediverse.

No there is not. Like anything else, there's good and there's bad content, and there's a LOT of content. I'll take a 30-sec or 60-sec video that's straight to the point versus a meaningless 8-10 minute video that&#x

There’s nothing inherently wrong about short videos. Content isn’t inherently good because it’s longer or on a specific medium. Nobody is saying that only one type should exist. Everything has its place.

Obviously. But TikTok/Instagram Reels are orders of magnitude more pleasant than Facebook or Twitter. It’s not really comparable.

How else would a recommendation algorithm work? I don’t see why it’s concerning that a company knows that I like to follow musicians, etc. What’s the alternative? Never finding new things because I refuse to divulge what niches or hobbies I

Comparing things like vine or TikTok or Instagram reels to a 1 or 2-hour long video makes no sense at all. Those are wildly different things and both have their time and place. I haven’t used TikTok but I do use Instagram reels and the feed

I’ve heard and used “o’clock” my entire life but not with 24 hour time. You could say “fourteen hundred (hours)” or 2 pm/o’clock. For 08:00, “oh 8 hundred hours”.

Correct, this is unfortunately how humans work. It has to have that cool factor.

Also a hell of a lot more dangerous. I'll take a bike any day over pennyboards or longboards.

That's why I selfhost a comic/manga reading app, and why I self-host media services in general. I use mango [1] but I see people discussing Komga [2] a lot. [1]: https://github.com/hkalexling/Mango [2]: http

Someone doing a half-assed refactor doesn't mean it's "dangerous" to encode a unit in a variable or function. I do agree that generally it's better to use something like a struct that's more flexible, but doing

Yes, it categorically is a good thing. People make mistakes. Our society should not be an unforgiving one that heavily punishes mistakes or can’t handle basic situations like fraudulent transactions. Prevention of fraud is a cat and mouse g

This also goes the other way when dealing with forms in Asian countries. I had to put my lastname first and so on when registering for my phone provider and bank in Korea. I know people with long names have had issues because South Korean n

Dude, it’s just some tweets from a guy on an aspect of a topic he’s knowledgeable about. Not a comprehensive reference on every single naming scheme that has possibly been used by people in Vietnam.

This is the ideal workflow for me since I think merge commits clutter up the log, but it falls apart if people aren't consistent in following it. *glances and $corp git repo and sees 'updates' 'fix' 'updates&#x

Did you misread the article? Says it happened two days ago (3/14/2022) and a murder charge is pending.

I'm pretty sure it's just intentional flamebait to promote their product.

1. You made a boring design. It's not a gen-z thing to dislike sterile, clinical designs that look more suited to businesses. 2. This is an ad, and seems like it was intentionally written as flamebait.

Personally I'd take a job based on the pay & how much you like the company vs what specific tech stack they're currently looking for. When I'm getting paid to do it, I like just about any language; getting to use rust is

People do consistently audit unsafe usage. And I would rather have atrocious rust code that's memory safe, than atrocious C/C++ code that comes with a free package of CVEs. There are tools that explicitly exist for this use case,

Rust was a shiny new thing back in like 2018. It gets talked about a lot because it has a lot of ergonomic and conceptual fixes that make life better. People like that. No, not every programming language is the same. "nobody, other tha

I will agree that twitter irrevocably has changed the online landscape. But I believe it's the ability to instantly transmit things that has pushed towards shorter and shorter content. For example Vine really took off, and now you have

Intro classes (i.e. 101 or just 100-level classes) are designed to weed out people or fill cross-class requirements for majors. My degree required some "aesthetic" classes so I took Dance 101; the class was comprised of a diversit

I'm greatly thankful for the hard work put into lilypond and frescobaldi. I use lilypond to type up leadsheets for jazz and some other genres [0], inspired by Mark Veltzer's Openbook [1]. I've gotten pretty fast at typing up

I'm not talking about discoverability. I do that myself externally by reading discogs credits for an album and going from there. I would prefer a music streaming service to have nearly all of the albums or songs that I want to listen t

by andrewzah 5y ago
More songs = more music that is potentially accessible to more people with different tastes. I don't use apple music or spotify because they lack quite a few albums that I've had to source myself.

Thank you, that fixed it.

Thankfully it appears to not be on the frontpage anymore. This feels like average twitter drama and not something that belongs on HN. Without concrete points there's nothing to really discuss other than speculate on what caused this pa
