If you use a Mac, the Iterm2 terminal emulator has an additional protocol that supports rendering images [0]. It basically encodes the image with terminal escape sequences, and also works for animated gifs. Unfortunately, it seems to not b

Maybe SWAT can use this to validate that it's actually the right house when serving a no-knock warrant. I'm cynical enough to feel like there's no way this is good for any of their targets, though. Edit: Kolpa makes a really

Yeah. If I had forwarded Company X's mail to my house, I might be able to argue that I thought it was just a prank, and planned to contact their legal team about it (and give them the (sealed) mail). That is still probably illegal, bu

Their claim is that it's in order to listen to the conversations where a foreign person of interest is the other party. :) Don't get me wrong, I don't like the surveillance either, but domestic terrorism isn't their job.

You're right, but I think it's still important to consider. If I had a team of engineers that were from diverse cultures, but all happened to be male, I would feel that lack of (gender) diversity would still be a fair criticism.

I hope this doesn't come off as snarky, but you and your team may find many benefits from making infrastructure changes that prevent anyone from breaking the build. One way we do this is to have CI run for all pull requests, and preve

I appreciate the "popcorn" feeling, but HN normally strives to avoid responses like this, as they don't add quality to a conversation. This is probably why you are getting downvotes.

Hm; I stand corrected then. Thanks, guys, especially for pointing out the car exhaust and other things. All of those things are true (about additional time to be talked out, etc). I was coming from the perspective of someone who followed

As someone who read the novel after seeing the movie, I can see why people who loved the book were disappointed by the movie. The movie, to me, was a hilarious parody of a propaganda-heavy war machine (which might also be why I find Warhamm
