FYI, for the expected control-a behavior press the 'a' again after control-a.

Great! You can switch between screens using Control-A and the screen number. I hadn't even known about the function keys until now.

And anyone who uses GNU screen ought to know about Byobu, which makes screen a bit more visual and easy to navigate. Especially perfect for headless instances. Not wanting to leave it is why I've not spent much time with tmux. Is there some

Don't downvote comments that are already gray. Just one or two downvotes is all you need to teach them a lesson. No need kicking someone when they're down.

It's perfect for a tiny dev server or toy machine. I was surprised, and tend to use Ubuntu on my non-critical servers. Debian testing/unstable works just great; I keep meaning to move toward it instead. Though I really do feel that Ubuntu p

The notion that the long term will harm them is a bit out of scope. Being a startup, a YC one at that, you can assume they see no significant long term for the company anyway, and hope for an acquisition before their idealized startup cultu

If you asked me to define 'brogrammer' prior to reading this thread and learning of the meme, I'd probably have described your typical technical cofounder of a generic 2011 startup. It doesn't help that the linked post _is_ a YC startup too

Dave Winer doesn't seem to like anything, does he?

While I fully agree with your point, the guarantee of developing software for a living and NOT building compilers or such sounds actually more attractive. Solving problems and designing systems is amazing but what you idealize sounds myopic

"Quite often there is not physical possibility of legal parking." By the same token, quite often there is not physical possibility of legal cycling OR driving. Courtesy is the solution indeed, yet the rhetoric on the issue seems to point th

The only café's I see around the bay area that are Speciality Coffee Association of America members are those that are long-established and shockingly up-scale. Does this study apply to newly founded coffee shops, or just the failure of exi

Unfortunately, supporting legal marijuana does not mean they're interested in pushing for legalization. "Sure, I don't care what other people do." != "We will fight for legalization."

I said, "they adopted the mask quite a while _AFTER_ the comic and movie popularized the image." I did not say that they adopted it prior to the movie or comic; I said after. You must have read it wrong.

Not sure what you're trying to say here. Anonymous was active years before V came out, and they adopted the mask quite a while after the comic and movie popularized the image. Would you prefer they were big black guys in suits and afros? Th

And they deserve credit for building alliances with existing activist networks while they were organizing Operation BART protests. Without these, Anon's impact on OWS wouldn't have been much noticed. It's a wonder to watch a the movement su

Really though, the home button design is really showing its age... Look how much screen real estate it takes up on the iPhone, or how much of the iPad's frame could be utilized if there were soft keys. Its become the first thing I notice wh

My advice is assuming you've yet to be arrested or questioned thoroughly. Cops are legally required to answer these questions truthfully, and if don't ask them specifically cops are known to play with semantics and probing questions to get

Lock your phones. Do not consent to searches, saying it cleary and decisively. Ask why you are being held, and continue to ask if you can leave.

Do we really need a bunch of people walking around talking to their phones without even having someone on the other end? Actually, walking down the street is the speech-to-text situation for me. Sending a quick text or Gtalk reply w

Not a downvoter, but this can sound like a standard "man-up" type of answer. Its easy to suggest and might come easy to some, but it's way out of reach for most young developers trying to get on the career track. Making a notable contributi

Outside of the Googles and Facebooks, this couldn't be further from the truth. Its so hard to find talent these days, and easy for the talent to jump ship to other firms, that most are hiring whoever is even remotely qualified just to remai

While I doubt that the market for older and obscure DVD rentals is going anywhere, most of the titles you seek are likely available in your library system. Ordering them on (free) loan from nearby branches would take about as long as Netfli

There ought to be a Godwin's Law about threads talking about gender on the Internet. Given a certain concentration of comments on the subject, a sarcastic and baseless complaint of the assumption of male guilt (especially absurb, off topic
