Yes it's amazing. And for long complex commands, being able to just press v to drop into a proper vim to edit the command is very useful.

I can relate to this. Especially after intense bouts of focusing on particularly complex problems, I might experience thoughts and have dreams in strange logic / programming kind of modes, unlike normal linguistic thought patterns. And

Yes, you have a point. For example, if we consider algorithms, the grokkkng algorithms book is definitely easier to digest but maybe doesn't go as deep. So it gets you over a hump which might make the more advanced / detailed book

Do you have issues with online payments? Things where you are transferred to some banking page to enter some two factor authentication or something like that. That is one of the main issues I have when I do things like that, online payments

Where I live, Ireland, it is illegal to operate a phone while driving and you will get a fine + penalty points on your license if you are seen. This includes holding the phone up to your ear on a call. I assumed it was the same in most coun

Regarding the prefix key, I agree CTRL+R may not be the best default choice. But if it is easy to change then I think it is OK. One of the first things I do on a new system with tmux is remap CTRL+B to CTRL+A, as a screen hangover and I thi

In Ireland it's the same, everyone uses WhatsApp. If I share my number with someone, it would be much stranger for me to receive an SMS from them than a WhatsApp message. If I phone a tradesman, e.g. a plumber, and they ask for a pictu

And they can run any server they like too, of which there are many up and coming options - synapse (official / reference python implementation), dendrite (go), conduit (rust), construct (C++).

Ya I noticed that too and I think it's a mistake. It's a one off purchase for non business use at least.

I guess it checks it when you actually try to dereference the pointer? On Intel too you still have to "repair"the pointer before you use it. It's definitely not the safest optimisation but it can be used to great effect when

Yes generally for userspace addresses they are 0. But more importantly they can be used for other stuff, commonly referred to as pointer tagging / smuggling etc. It's a useful optimisation technique where you can add some extra me

Amazing. It even works great on my phone. This is one of the best things I've seen on hacker news.

In Ireland it would be very rare for me to see it in ice-cream or chocolate, and I'm fairly religious about checking labels. Plenty of sweets / jellies, but these days there are more and more vegan / vegetarian options.

This looks great. I'm just in the middle of trying to set up a home server using dendrite to do exactly this (mainly for fun). This looks really well done and polished though. It's great to see services like this using matrix as i

No, it just uses WhatsApp web. Even if it didn't the data is still passing through WhatsApps's servers.

We use Freecycle a bit in Ireland. I get the sense that the people getting rid of the stuff are as happy to have it taken off their hands and not taking up space in the house. As you are getting it for free it's implied that it is your

Yes telegram is more usable IMO, but worse security. In the past I might have said to people try telegram or signal, but now with the momentum of this whatsapp policy change I am pushing signal so I don't dilute the efforts.

All we can do is try. If we do nothing then the problem only gets worse. I considered just accepting it and moving on, but I've thought again and I'm trying to get as many contacts onto Signal as I can. At least there will be anot
