PowerToys for Windows has a keyboard remapper. It has nowhere near the power of karabiner, but otoh you don't have to wade through karabiner's config file.

"offputing" for "offputting" is a great typo, as it might mean "computing on a platform that's not on the local host"

Drying performance is shit. Especially since you can pack a washing-machine fairly full without affecting performance, but a tumble-dryer needs to be loosely filled. But even so, the combo machines don't dry well.

I just PR'd into a project that's a kludgy mess of bash. You can code-golf in Powershell. There are terse aliases. But generally the community doesn't do that. Looking at some of the bash garbage I've been subjected to,

Pwsh starts on my machine in 400-500ms. Far slower than I'd like. That is with no profile. I am a wizard. My profile is my power. With great care and sacrifice I've got it down to about 2s and I just have to load less-commonly-use

Look up strict mode. Array unrolling is a legitimate gripe. The design justification is that Powershell is pipeline-oriented. On occasions where you specifically need an array, either type your variable or use the array operator: [obj

1. Native PS is easy. Binary commands are no harder than on any other platform, but I find $? to be reliable. Now you know. 2. Pipe to Out-String. Now you know. 3. Format commands generate console-host-specific markup. You would never pipe

Or we can turn it around and say that the client one is the enabling of the alt-right. Between the trans and the alt-right, which do you think is responsible for more harm? Alt-rights are indoctrinating our children and eating away at socie

Your dunning-kruger is showing 1 the conviction of chauvin was an outlier event that took exceptional circumstances to achieve. The point you prefer to avoid is how rare this is. 2 is in bad faith. Your country is majority white. 3 is beggi

I work with low-skilled colleagues who pass deeply-nested dictionaries around. Validation is of limited use because there's no safety guard once you get through that perimeter. I enjoy python in itself, but throw in cheap offshore devs

Germany is notoriously bureaucratic. And Spain is just pure fucking hell. Notaries should be hunted for sport. Britain is great. I can file my taxes online relatively painlessly for any non-employment income. Employment income is done autom

Culture is set from the top. My wife is transforming the culture of the small org she directs. My employer replaced operational leadership with bean-counters, and the culture has gone to shit. Musk has prioritised engineering results, which

I'm in favour. I'm constantly tinkering with my own Powershell wrapper for git - it's not publishable yet - but a goal for the project is to show the git commands being executed. I'm focused on rebasing. I want to make i

Windows 7 was genuinely good. It was stable, it just worked, it shipped with Powershell, and I could launch anything with very few keystrokes. The downsides I will acknowledge are the modal dialogues (which are worse on macos) and the fact

Reaching your users is even difficult for me, building internal tools. We use a multi-pronged strategy. The only way to be sure is to have a popup in the app, although tbf this annoys people so care should be taken to minimise the nuisance.

Re 1, no: it is not communism. You've conflated "communism" with "something disallowed by my preferred dogma". How very HN of you. Americans using the word "communism" is invariably an indicator of fallacy

It's been interesting to follow this discussing but I find your thesis unconvincing. "Trump voters" is not a marginalised set, it contains super pacs and Peter Thiel. It may contain subsets that are marginalised but those set
