This is clearly the hottest thing on HN right now, and it was bumped from #1 to #6, anyone knows why? Is it some kind of bot protection?


User flags, because outages are a fact of everyday life.


Which is dumb, linking to status pages shouldn't be on HN. A blog that has analysis and explanations of outages or post mortems should.

knock-knock dang


Dang doesn't see messages like that unless you use the footer Contact link, but I remember a comment from him a while back that I would summarize as "Some site users think it's a good use of HN, and other site users disagree and flag it, and we downweight/dedupe them sometimes and/or if someone emails us with the Contact link". I just didn't want you to wait for a reply that'll never come unless you Contact them.


hehe I know, was just saying more for fun, but I appreciate the comment none the less.


The golden recipe: neovim, tmux, rg, fzf, i3/other tiling wm on nixos/arch

Fzf all you can, not just inside vim, but also use it to switch between tmux sessions in an instant. I have a tmux manager on top of tmuxp that is able to start / switch to already started sessions via fzf.

Identify patterns you use a lot and make snippets out of them. Create project templates.

Have a folder where you dump reference / things that need to be really easy to find, and set up vim to search into that instantly, no matter where you are.

Keep an inbox file to throw things in, make a wm bind a script to prompt for text and append it there via zenity. Don't throw links into it, it's gonna be a bookmark dump.

Make sure your todo system is a keybind away at all times.

Review your way of working, challenge, and improve it. Be lazy, but only when you afford it.


>Make sure your todo system is a keybind away at all times

This point here I think is incredibly useful in general. When accessing your full to-do list feels like its own todo, you're gonna have a bad time


I was about to get it on with tmux, but as soon as Neovim implemented a terminal I was outta there. Seeing as Neovim is has terminal emulator, windows and tabs why do you still use tmux?


I really need to get around to fixing my arch, its still left mid-reinstall after at least a month (and I'm lost on the networking for the 2nd time, you'd think I'd have learned by this point)


> Make sure your todo system is a keybind away at all times.

Can you access your todo system from your phone? I'm always torn on this, and why I keep my todos in google keep.


I'm using todo.txt via the CLI [1] with my TODO files in a Dropbox folder syncing it with Simpletask [2] for Android.

what is rg, i3 or tiling window wm? can't you use tmux as a tiling WM?


Only if everything you do is in a terminal.

If you also need a browser, IDE, or any other non-terminal application open then i3 lets you tile those as well.

I haven't used it in a while since we switched to macs and ssh'ing to remote linux dev desktops but when I had an all-linux dev setup I remember i3 being pretty amazing.


A lifetime in prison is the right punishment for rape.


I disagree (depending on the case, I guess), but that's a matter of opinion. My answer was merely to explain the judge's actions, and was not intended as a comment on whether this particular sentence is just. If the judge believes the initial jail term was a fair punishment, then if he were to add a fine, he'd have to reduce the jail term, for the punishment to remain fair in his eyes.


And the punishment for murder?

Is murder just as bad as rape, or worse?

If I were the victim of rape I'd want the death penalty, but from the outside I can easily see that that's not just.


What about Qisas, a traditional Islamic way of performing justice via “eye for an eye”? A victim or their family may choose to inflict equal damage to the guilty party’s body.


I want to use Firefox, and I would if it provided a faster internet experience, which it doesn't on Linux (compared to Brave/Chromium/Chrome). The devtools in Firefox lack basic features that have been requested for years. Too bad that these are the only viable options.


Which basic devtools features are you missing, if I might ask?


simple things, like being able change the order of the columns in the network tab


I just checked the bug database, and this has never been filed as an issue, for what it's worth. The closest to it was the offhand mention in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1509560 which otherwise focused on column resizing.

I filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1595961 just now to track this, but I have a hard time reconciling this specific example with the "requested for years" characterization in the original comment...

If you are able to file issues you run into, that would be much appreciated; people can't fix problems they're not aware of.


I played with nvk quite a bit, very impressive.


thank you for this awesome project, fd is a core dependency in my workflow. fzf with fd and rg in vim and in the shell has saved me so much time.

Would the else branch trigger on a falsy value, or on an exception? It's a bit confusing, as it looks like it would handle exceptions on the else branch, even though we know we have to wrap await in try/catch for that.

Other than saving a few characters (the variable name), I don't see any benefit of this, while it makes code harder to read.

Too bad the `with` [0] keyword has been reserved for crap, it sounds nice (not for this, but maybe for something else).

>> and also requires you to start renaming variables (ie. row1, row2...) due them going over their intended scope

Variable shadowing [1] is a really bad practice that makes it hard for people to collaborate and keep the code sane. Bad habits are not a reason for language changes.

Revolut's disposable card is awesome. I use it constantly.


Can you please DM me the title of the book?



i would never consider using an electron-based terminal, but for casual users it looks really pretty


You would be surprised how many people do.

Ubuntu (gnome actually) has a small but very competent disk tool. Yet people recommend Etcher for writing disk images to USB because it's cute.


Etcher does have really nice UX for casual users though. It couldn't really be much easier to use.
