I agree that the Mitsuharu version of emacs is pretty great on the Mac, but the lack[0] of multi-tty[1] support is a deal breaker for me. I like emacs-plus[2], which while not quite as nice as the railwaycat/mitsuharu version, allows m

My feedback for you is you need to give listeners a reason to keep listening to your podcast right away, you simply can not go on a meandering personal discussion about yourself for the first 10 minutes of a podcast and expect to retain my

Indeed. It seems like there is some mechanism that gives posts a second chance at making the front page, because when I wrote that comment (around a day ago) it seemed clear it was going nowhere. It's interesting to note that the times

Thanks for the tip! I need to educate myself a bit on Jupyter kernels, and this looks like a great starting point. I love the huge amount of documentation this package has!

Video creator here. This may have had a shot at the front page if it were an essay instead of a video. HN just doesn't like videos as a general rule.

That's the exact setup on macOS I run as well. I also run that way on my Linux development box (iTerm2 -> tmux -> ssh -> linux -> tmux (nested) -> emacs -nw --daemon) and it feels the same to me. I run emacs-plus macOS v

I grew up in the 80s in Washington eating them, and man, I remember the Red Delicious being my favorite apple of all time. Something has happened to the quality, or I just had no taste when I was younger, because I am mostly disappointed wh

That's right. We've got 4 bog standard 750G WD Caviar Blues in a software RAID array in that machine, all powered up for 11+ years, none of which appear to have caught any errors during that time. Pretty amazing. The OS has been u

Every day. I have a long running tmux session running irssi on a community Linux host that's been humming along in some forgotten corner of a vast data center for the past 11.71 years[0]. My ~/.irssi/config has me on a numbe

I wish you guys luck! Engineers may be a hard group to sell this to, given how great free desktop terminal emulators are, and how easy it is for an engineer to engineer tooling to generate ~/.ssh/config files from existing sources

I wonder if past generations felt this too -- this feeling that the as you get older, popular culture seems to twist itself to pander to your tastes and attitudes. I had assumed that I had this feeling because I was in the most sought after

This is just an attempt by Microsoft to stem the flow of power users to Linux Desktop. Did you see the flash video advertisement[0] Microsoft made for their new terminal? To me it feels more like Microsoft is trying to attract people flee

It's ok to be irritated by this. I ended up reading it in links[0] initially, which is usually my go to. After reading your comment I decided to install Firefox 66 (which I've been meaning to do anyway), where NoScript is apparent

Thanks for the recommendation, I just might do that. I was relieved to see it has a glossary[0] so you're not completely at sea. I remember getting all the way through Trainspotting without realizing that there was a glossary in the ba

Yeah, I can't believe I now look upon the times when we had cubicles as "the good old days", but compared to the open office plan hell of today they seem like a damn luxury.

If I want a light version of emacs (like on OpenWRT, or a constrained embedded device) I reach for JOVE, or Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs. JOVE was actually the version of emacs I first learned on back in the late 80s. JOVE is tiny,

Ah, for some reason I just assumed that YouTube Premium didn't work with Firefox, which is what I use now, and you had to have the native Android App. I think the problem I had the last time I tried this had to do with the fact that I

It's YouTube Premium now, and it's $11.99/month. Also, without resorting to APK hacks I don't think it's possible to use on my Amazon Fire Stick. Otherwise I'd love to pay for YouTube to watch YouTube without a

There were much drier "snippets" style communication for just talking about what's going on. I'd say that folks who abhor shameless self promotion typically didn't write much and instead worked with with the annoyin

I left Stripe a little over 6 months ago to join an exciting startup with a number of my friends. What I miss most about working there is the culture of shipping. There are a number of 'shipped' email lists at Stripe where people

I reject the notion that Elastic is in this situation because they need rent money. In my view, they're in this situation because they accepted over 100M in venture capital, and now those investors want to see a return. I believe that
