Thats the norm, not the exception. Back in the early days that was the only way these services operates: AOL IM, MSN Messenger, ICQ, IRC, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, Skype, MySpaceIM etc. Even now you have Discord, Slack, Steam Chat… and

We were already shifting to different working patterns before COVID hit. Had it been 10 years earlier it would have been much more impactful but the concept of working from home wasn’t novel in a great many industries before COVID. And thos

In the days before free SSL certificates I might have agreed with you. But these days I’d expect even dev environments to be secured.

I’d argue all 3 criteria have been met (though, to be clear, I also don’t agree with your definition either): - beauty is in the eye of the beholder - this has been enshrined both in paper and digitally on the internet. That’s far more resi

Sometimes it can be overwhelming being told what your “potential” is. And just because someone said you have good ideas it doesn’t mean being an entrepreneur is right for you. Literally the most important thing you can do in life is find th

Normally I'd agree with all of your points but the article is really clear about lowing the page brightness and not the page contrast. They even had an infographic to illustrate their point: https://miro.medium.com/max&

Paper isn't typically a pure "#FFFFFF" white and if you'd bothered to read the article instead of rage quitting after the sub-heading you'd realise that the article is advocating exactly the same point you are. Let

Good to see you've added support for that but the cynic in me can't help wondering if that ANSI code is even needed. While you're right that unicode makes it easy to support, it's also even easier to output the Fraktur c

Not familiar with hTerm. Got a link to the project? Would be good to add support for that to my image rendering library: https://github.com/lmorg/murex/blob/c77b893a58a682735ad7502c...

Maybe get a webcam and hook it up to a Raspberry Pi? Or look at security cameras rather than consumer IP cameras?

Once it's scrolled off the top of the screen you're basically at the mercy of your terminal emulator's scrollback history. Some might have an escape sequence available to recall it but I there isn't any standard way of d

Not all terminal emulators follow that completely. Most only include a subset and some include their own proprietary escape codes too (like iTerm and Terminology have codes for rendering images. tmux has an escape code for changing the sess

You couldn't find an authoritative spec because there isn't a universal standard. Lots of terminal emulators differ in different ways.

by hnlmorg 5y ago
Indeed but that doesn’t mean that JSON isn’t a subset of YAML. That means that the strictness of JSON removes ambiguity of what is a string and what is not while the lazy strings in YAML allow for ambiguity (and this problem comes up all th

by hnlmorg 5y ago
Unless I’m misunderstanding your argument (which is possible, I’ve not had my morning coffee yet) what you’re describing is really more about JSONs strictness as a feature rather than YAML not being a superset of JSON. You’re general point

According to the article, they already do have a Linux option. I’d wager the FreeDOS is a legacy option because they’ve supported it in the past an figures have shown it sells. Even if those figures don’t take into account how many of those

Agreed with everything you've said. I'd also add that the rise of cloud computing hasn't helped either. WP was great when hosting consisted of shared LAMP services or hosting your own. But WP is a huge pain in the arse to hos

You did the right thing. Better to leave the interview on good terms and turn the job down than make a scene yourself and risk burning a future bridge (you never know when you might run into these people again).

Theoretically can be. Every command you invoke without a path will need to look up PATH. In practice well behaving shells cache the contents of PATH to speed up operations.

This happened to me on arch recently. I updated pacman but it didn’t warn me it needed an updated glibc. Now pacman refuses to run. It should be easy enough to repair but it was just an old laptop I wanted to test something on so I ended up

This is wrong (and dangerously so too). On FreeBSD 3rd party packages go into /usr/local and not /usr You absolutely will get base packages in /usr/bin (eg `env`) so nuking /usr/bin will break your F
