It's wildly misused if the reason that it exists is pay. Even the parent to my comment is talking about interview process; I doubt that varies much from any of the "FANG" companies vs. Microsoft, Uber, etc.

Because of the touch bar I was motived to switch Esc to Caps Lock (using Karabiner Elements), but I have since switched it over on all my machines (i.e. those without touchbars) because it's so convenient/ergonomic.

That's possible in tmux, though

by spraak 7y ago
Huh, all those are features of tmux itself. I can copy/paste to/from system clipboard, I can easily movie between windows (and could set in my tmux.conf to use Command-` if I wanted), I can focus panes with the mouse, etc.

I'm sure people are, but it's too big of a problem to fit in the space of thinking for the average person. Also, where do you live? If you don't live in any of the areas soon or already being affected (e.g. Pakistan, India) t

Yes, Sepp Holzer! It's refreshing to see other people, especially among the HN demographic, to know of work like his and permaculture in general given the general obsession with specific myopic forms of technology (like to whom you&#x2

I just avoid YouTube altogether for my child. There are some really good TV network apps like Barnkanalen SVT (Sweden), ZDF/KIKA (Deutschland) that make quality content, have no ads and are free. And no risk of watching something I don

> 45 years of eating low-fat high complex carbs Can you quantify how many grams per day "low fat" was for you? Were you consuming eggs, fish, dairy or olive oil? Were you consuming any processed foods?

I believe that you're missing the point. We aren't getting obese on the carb diet. We are getting obese from excess calories and dietary fat. De novo lipogenesis (producing fat from only carbs) is inefficient and uncommon. Storing

Tangentially related, but I've been trying to find a fancy Node/Typescript (either would be great) REPL. By fancy I mean vim bindings (like `set -o vi` in bash), color schemes, and terminal based.
