   I would love to hear other dired features that people use. I'm just now getting a comprehensive understanding of how great dired is.

   This is an interesting article to me. I'm professionally a scientist but this year I've set about to helping my partner start her business/website. I have a CSCI undergrad and a strong basis of computational/coding skill

   I feel like you're implying that in order to start a successful business you need to think/talk like this. I can't imagine any reason that would be true. However, if you want people to listen to your theories after you&#x27

   It's so interesting to see this on Hacker News. Through the bizarre strange fortune of life I'm the owner of a mediocre building built in the late 1800s located in an old mining boom town. It has a very robust steam heating system

   I still see FFOS as ahead of its time. I really wish it would have worked out better.There's all this jostelling happening between the role of software based apps vs. the role of web content/apps on devices... but in the end every

   Uh. I run an autossh program on the host in question. It auto-runs ssh connections when they drop, including tunnels. https://www.everythingcli.org/ssh-tunnelling-for-fun-and-pro...

   Huh. This is really interesting. I'm currently living in Paris and have been talking to my (French) girlfriend about starting a business. Does anyone know of any other good resources?

   I mean, if we stick with the spirit of the article I think that it's even more likely to be Fortran. Seemingly interesting, accomplishes certain very specific tasks well, turns into an absolute monolithic nightmare when encountered in

   Yet I read a similar comment every day here on Hacker News. Maybe there's something cultural going on with a website run by an investment fund/startup incubator.

    I'm a long time coder and still liked watching your video just for watching someone else work in emacs. How do you get emacs to highlight all occurrences of map? Was it a keybinding for "highlight-phrase"?

    It's funny you should say it like this. I've never had a smartphone and am an American who recently moved to Paris. For the first few months I wonder why old people were so aggressive with their looks. Then I realized it was becau

    In case anyone else knows little about the history of cryptography or who these names are, here's some relevant information. Here's the paper that started it all: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007&#x2F

    This might be the most accurate description of grad school I've ever read. It's almost too poignant. It's this balance between freedom and toxicity that makes graduate school such a polarizing experience. Recovering from a di

    This is such a laughably unprovable claim. "Few people who have the vision, motivation, and skill" is equivalent to saying "few startups succeed". It's just a truthism. It's equally likely that few companies ar

    I'm a scientist working on satellite data products at one of the two four letter agencies you named. I have published papers on these data products and myself work on processing of level 2 and 3 data products. A key point that needs to
