Thanks for that.

That's how I do it- mostly to run urxvt. Off-Topic: I'm setting up a new machine, and wondering whether I should use WSL 1 or 2 (or both?). Is there a clear path forward for these systems? WSL 1 has served me pretty well. Most

I have the hp 41 cv app on my iPhone and it's fantastic. I paid once many years ago and have never been asked to pay again. A great group of enthusiasts keep it going. That said, I've had recent occasion to do some programming f

He should add "ARR" to the glossary. I know a lot of others here, like me, scan the comments to see if the article is worth reading, so translations help us.

Guessing a bit here— correct me if I'm wrong. This jargon is utterly foreign to me: SMB = Small to mid-sized business (not server message block) JR = Junior rep? Jr? AE = Account executive ARR = Annual recurring revenue

Several days later, but I have to say I agree with you.

I always spoke as a person. Somebody would have had to think to go to xavier.com to find out my handle was also my website.

Please see my response here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25211102 My username was a handle like most others (almost nobody comes in under their real name). It never occurred to me, for instance, to go to gpm.com—

My user name wasn't clearly an ad. I use that same username on, for instance, the Coral City webcam chat. I remember one person on the subreddit getting an "aha" as s/he was asking something and I wouldn't direc

Many years ago I got banned by a moderator on a sub for answering someone's question. I did have a product but didn't pitch it directly except in paid ads on the sub. My username was the website. I emailed the mod for clarificat

It'll probably bounce back. We've been here before, when computing was centralized and everybody logged into the mainframe. Then it turned out that to have independent computers gave users a huge advantage and helped control cos

I'm not sure that not being in the government makes a death threat implausible. It may even make it more so. Whitey Bulger apparently ordered a few deaths that were carried out. https://www.usatoday.com/story/new

It didn't pin down Graham on supporting a late-term Supreme Court nominee, even though he's on the record as not supporting them.

Well I hope the researchers aren't pursuing this randomly.

But, as the article points out, the size of the oceans may actually work against that by diluting the possibility of getting the correct concentration of ingredients.

Too late to edit the above, but ignore the last sentence. It was written first, and when I rewrote the comment I somehow forgot to delete.

That's the point. It's the companies that are little known that get squashed. I don't know much about the space, but I tried Google and chose zoom instead because it was easier— and I pay for Google. I tried Jitsi. But wh

My gripe is the companies who failed to implement because they couldn't do security in a way that was easy to use and resulted in a good user experience, but chose to be honest. I hate the (1) cheat to win and vanquish your competitors

I've actually seen this- I didn't know why they did it.

I'm with you. It's almost like a plan is coming together before our eyes. Put people in "power" that can be controlled. I had no idea that there were rumors about Graham being gay. That may very well upset his constit

Yes; there's a framework in place but it's not as robust as we would like it to be.

You're probably right. I'm not a fan of Trump, and I'm not sure how I'd feel if I found out that there was truly fraud and the election belonged to Trump. But I am in favor of investigating all (legitimate) allegations

They're just believing what their information-circle is saying. They're not looking at things themselves. For instance, in the discussions I've seen of the Right talking about fraud, they've not mentioned the shenaniga

The irony here is that of the "undocumented" immigrants that became "documented" I've talked to they are almost all conservative. The famous ones of course include Arnold Schwartzenegger. But before DJT, even th

We're supposed to have checks and balances. It seems a few key individuals were terrified of DJT and wouldn't stand up to him. Someday maybe we'll know why.

Write them as 'benefits,' not 'features.' That is, how having 'Assignees' helps the user.

I think the second-order effects of that will be fantastic. Skepticism and critical thinking are sorely missing today- at least in the US.

It'll be interesting if it works backwards— if they grow to have a romantic interest in each other.
