   Re: $5 Money makes for an interesting barrier. For example, SomethingAwful charged $10 to sign-up and it basically weeded out all the trash and spam. You could have a tier system. E.g. $5 for general meetings and $100 tier to talk to whatev

   Once upon a time there was a systems programmer who wanted to use a readymade 3rd party solution to an specific problem. He evaluated 3 options, then downloaded, compiled, configured and integrated the best choice into the project over the

   When I switched from macOS to Linux, not having ⌘-K really bugged me. However I found out that most terminal emus on Linux also have this feature as Ctrl-L. In gnome-terminal you have to press Ctrl-K to clear the screen, and then Ctrl-L to

   Alacritty clears with Ctrl-L, out-of-the-box. Also, from `man bash`... > clear-screen (C-l) Clear the screen leaving the current line at the top of the screen. With an argument, refresh the current line without clearing the screen.

   Surprised no one linked Simple Made Easy[0] yet. Around 30 min, Rich Hickey describes how the opposite of simple is complex, and mentions the etymology, "to braid together". "It's bad. Don't do it." 0. https:&

   Try a printer + highlighter. It’s hard to explain why it works, but I find that having a physical copy helps me grok technical documents and re-find the details later. Apply other the advice in this thread too, but add a highlighter, notes,

    It seems Clio targets an AWS Lambda-style serverless infrastructure, having a network of short-lived, auto-scaling single-function instances, ideally leading to optimal resource utilization, hands-free administration, unlimited scalability,

    Apparently it works by hosting HTTP or Websocket microservices and communicating between them via JSON. The .clio files transpile to JavaScript, and the project optimistically targets full JS interoperability (e.g. compatible with any of yo

    Thanks, I misunderstood the proposal, which apparently applies mostly to "unescaped LINE SEPARATOR or PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR characters" within strings.

    Section 9 of the RFC would indeed technically allow interpreting 01 as you please, but section 6 states: “Numeric values that cannot be represented in the grammar below... are not permitted” Regardless I agree we should not do such things.

    Yep. It's technically incorrect. It seems honoring this type of technical correctness matters a lot. For example, imagine if ECMA added a new feature (e.g. 0-prefixed octal literals) in 2020.. Another issue: security. Imagine a hacker

    Any plans to open-source your tool? Sounds fantastic. Also I think "double-entry accounting" literally means "N-entry zero sum accounting" as you describe it, and hledger supports it.

    eslint does this for JavaScript with the no-warning-comment rule. The general idea there goes something like "don't use code comments as a project management tool," but I tend to use eslint as a reminder to finish things for

    We have no proof of what happens to our data. We can’t audit the source and we can’t see the protocols. China manufactures the physical chips and has a bad reputation for forcing companies to add backdoors.
