Looks are extremely important for everyone. i3, however, is an example of something that looks good. For bad, see https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1013849/ , https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1013788&#x

Nice, but http://r.dakko.us/ is still the winner in my book.

You might not want to commit all of your changes at once.

State in the form of staged changes is a huge convenience to me (e.g. with git add -p), but to each their own.

The basics (stage, commit, merge, branch, push, pull, log, diff, bisect) aren’t confusing. (The rest isn’t that confusing either, but…) If you prefer GUIs, feel free to use them, but that’s certainly not everyone.

I switched to xmonad ( http://xmonad.org/ ), since you can change the layout per workspace and it doesn't include a bar. (Sure, you can turn it off in dwm, but where's the minimalism in that?)

But the argument really is both vs. spaces. Anyone using tabs for alignment is doing it wrong.
827.
by minitech 10y ago
Personally: by not enforcing maximum widths. Having a fixed limit makes for ugly workarounds and looks horrid if you happen to be viewing at a narrower width. Just wrap code where it makes sense to do so.

> Why go to the trouble of securing the transport layer if you're both NOT using PGP AND assuming with no proof that the server isn't compromised? To guard against MITMs as well as DNS spoofing to an extent.

Usernames are low-entropy human-readable identifiers. If you're getting at login rate limiting and other best practices regarding how things should be: right! That's why it's a term for a vulnerability.
832.
by minitech 10y ago
Maybe another term would be better, but it is in common use (example: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Testing_for_Account_Enumerat... ), possibly because usernames aren't meant to be resistant to brute force.

by minitech 10y ago
Yes. If you assume the server isn’t secure, there’s no point in any of the other things except the PGP signature, the keys corresponding to which I wouldn’t be able to get anywhere without making some other assumption of security.

What do you mean “on the torrent provider’s side”? They’re all on the same server, and the magnet link and hash digests are even part of the same page.

“Overloaded literals” only has one meaning as far as I know, and what Haskell has is it: a literal whose type isn’t solely determined by its contents.

This table says that Arch downloads aren’t over HTTPS, but the preferred way to get them is through a torrent, which is served (both the magnet link and the file) over HTTPS. It also means checksum verification instructions are unnecessary.

Sorry, I meant specifically that the 40% is all on the left and the text is all on the right.

If you wrapped that "unique" implementation in some kind of reusable construct, it would be even easier to use, and it would be easy to replace with a more efficient implementation. Hmm.

Looks great at 1230px wide, but 1231 is too cramped. I don't want to write a new comment before reading the article, and then there's a big blank space that takes up 40% of my viewport when the article continues past the comments.

That you might want to allow user-defined templates and that the package is ES5-compatible are two I can think of.
