   Used this regularly for a couple of years but stopped at some point, had it as my default browser for opening links but it never became my main browser, mainly because it didn’t integrate with password managers and some things didn’t quite

   I've been trying to keep my average under 90g/day since about 2010 and most weeks nowadays I average half that. However I wouldn't call 500g a proper steak, only time I've seen stakes at that size is as novalty items on

   Is the gnu-coreutils true much faster? I have a hard time seeing how return 0 can be so slow.

   Does this work for Aqua applications as well? I'm thinking we'd like to use something like Hammerspoon or AppleScript to fetch the PID of the currently focused window. https://www.hammerspoon.org

   This is actually very neat, I haven't though about pausing desktop applications to save battery/CPU before. Tried it out real quick with Safari on my work laptop (macOS), worked like a charm with killall -STOP "Safari&qu

   We had/have a similar system in Sweden called SEQR[1] (pronounced secure) which were launched back in 2011 but it never took off widely. However a couple of years later, Swish[2], a similar system by the large banks using phone numbers

   I had Hughes as a lecturer in University (Chalmers, Sweden) and we heavily utilized quick check in our Haskell courses. He’s a great lecturer and a brilliant mind, I do think they still teach new CS students Haskell with QuickCheck as a fir

   Wow a HDMI input is so great, I've been looking for a tablet with something like that in order to make it double as extra monitor on the go. Tried duet with the iPad but it isn't good enough over lightning with video compression a

    See my comment about hacked Nooks, they're both really cheap and looks super fast. In general newer e-ink displays can render new content without refreshing the entire screen like in the early days. https://news.ycombinator.

    I've seen hacks on the Nook Simple¹ allowing for even runnig PSX games with good refresh-rate, ever since I saw those demos I've been dreaming about a decent resolution EINK screen for my terminal sessions. [1] https://

    Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this. I just want to attach a tmux/vi session to that EINK panel, I'll even bring my own wireless keyboard.

    view is also perfectly good, it's vim's pager.

    tokei is fast but isn't the smartest tool (at least for python). I compared it to pygount (and looked on individual files). Total lines is correct but it's grossly miscalculating code vs comments resulting in almost 2x total actua

    This looks nice but would like to be able to use a white/blacklist for decorator folding. Many http-libraries/frameworks use flask-style decorators for the routes and these are usually very useful.

    I think the problem is if you press q accidentally when you want to hit :q and then hit q again (recording @q), at this point Esc won't work and you have to hit q a third time to exit. When taking a second to think about it it's q

    I used this book to get introduced to Haskell and think it worked great, it’s also used as the course material in the first programming course for the CS-Program at Chalmers University of Technology (CTH) and have worked as a introduction

    Oh yeah and the soft touch finish is nice at first but it starts to peel after about 2 years of use.

    Used a Thinkpad (T550-something, retina screen) for a couple of years and can’t say I ever got used to or liked the track point, the touchpad had “palm detection“ but it was horrible and I ended up using a toggle key for the touchpad instea

    I ran SID in a embedded customer box testing unreleased software, I did run it in KVM from a stable release since I wouldn’t have physical access if something went wrong, glad I did.

    This argument could be made for any license that’s similar to another, I don’t think it’s fair reasoning. Why does 2-Clause BSD exist? Why does Apache license exist?

    I’ve been using it on Debian for a about 3 years (and on FreeBSD almost 10 years), wouldn’t say that it has been without its problems on Debian but it seems mostly stable for home use. Had some problems in Debian 8/Jessie especially wh

    This is a common misconception but in fact the incompatibility is purely accidental, in addition I wouldn’t call GNU/GPL the most pragmatic license family either.

    Neat idea for a minimal slack experience. However if all you want is a low bandwidth text only slack alternative to use with slow and glitchy cellular I’ve got an excellent alternative: wee-slack + mosh https://github.com/we

    You're allowed to do assignments inside of expressions E.g. if(x:=f() is not None): print(x) You can read more about it here: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0572/

    I’ve actually trivially rooted my mothers Asus two times when she had network problems and I had to find a way of debugging it remotely. One time I could inject an RCE via some kind of network connection testing tool they had which were sup

    I’ve been using pfSense for about 5 years. The past 10+ years I’ve been on either 1x1Gbps or 2x1Gbps symmetric up/down links via fiber (no isp boxes), no consumer/semipro router in the $150-400 range have been able to keep up with

    Can’t you open up a SSH-tunnel from the lambda? I think there are Python clients if OpenSSH isn’t available in lambda instances (anyone know which binaries are available? I suppose it’s a quite barebone Linux container)

    Well it’s like that by accident in 3.6 because cpython36 does it this way and no other implementation exists. In 3.7 it’s officially a part of the spec thus required by all Python 3.7 compatible implementations and not just cpython.

    Do they? Are they backed by capital pushing for an “Exit”, and even if so, couldn’t an IPO be a viable option?
