I was told that some people in Busan, the Korean city nearest to Japan, felt the earthquake and even felt dizzy.

Oh wow, yes I remember now, I used to type `Alt+F` and then `S` immediately because Notepad didn't support `Ctrl+S` back then. Thanks for giving me nostalgia!

I tested the demo at https://moq.dev/publish/ and it's buttery as hell. Very impressive. Thanks for the great technology! Watching the Big Buck Bunny demo at https://moq.dev/watch/?name=bbb o

Actually the default value of `APT::Install-Recommends` had been false, and it was changed to true in Debian 6.0 Squeeze (2011-02-06). I didn't like the change at the time because my Debian and Ubuntu systems suddenly installed more pa

There still seem to be some remaining issues. My Cloudflare Pages site is still giving me 500 errors. I looked up the response headers and realized that when requests are served by a certain data center, they fail, but if processed by anoth

Off topic, but it is good to see an article about the LIEF library on Hacker News. I recently had a need to modify the header of an ELF file and LIEF was a lifesaver. Thanks to all the authors and contributors!

History classes are always fun! I didn't know dash had the command history feature. It is just disabled by default.

Yeah, I also used Docker (actually, Podman) as an alternative Python package manager and it worked well enough. Most of all, it felt somewhat cleaner and more reproducible than using plain virtualenv. Of course, I migrated from it after I

A very well written article! I admire the analysis done by the author regarding the difficulties of Python packaging. With the advent of uv, I'm finally feeling like Python packaging is solved. As mentioned in the article, being able t

Just the default one. I tried some alternative keyboards and they are better in some ways but in the end the default keyboard was enough. Termius provides input of some special keys (e.g. Ctrl, Alt, Esc, Tab, Home, End) so that's anoth

I tried Mosh but it didn't fit my taste. It tries to "predict" the state of the screen before being acknowledged by the server, but sometimes the prediction is wrong and Mosh reverts the cursor movement and redraws the affect

I also write code using my phone when I'm on a bus or the subway. It requires some patience but after getting used to it, the experience is surprisingly pleasant especially if you're familiar with terminal-based tools. My environm

The cool thing about this project is that as it uses systemd's socket activation, it requires no server processes at all. There is no waste of resources when Cockpit is not being used. Accessing a page is literally the same as invoking

The funny thing is, I do know about WeeChat (the IRC client) and did use it in the past, but still thought the article was about WeChat (the Chinese messaging service) for a moment. I'm embarrassed!

Oh wow. So some countries had free local calls, which boosted the local BBS culture. That's pretty cool, huh. I had no idea. In my home country there was no such thing, so BBS's tended to be owned by big companies.

I also learned the lesson to use a different history file recently. I added `HISTSIZE=-1` to `~/.bashrc` to make the number of items stored in the history unlimited, but the history kept being truncated. The problem was that Ubuntu&#x2

I recently tried CockroachDB's serverless offering and I was very satisfied with it. It has a generous free tier, easy-to-understand pricing, and a query analyzer that helps me estimate how much a query would cost. It is still in beta

PEP 518 lists some reasons not to use configparser and I agree with them wholeheartedly.[1] Personally I don't want to use ill-defined formats, even for simple projects. [1] https://peps.python.org/pep-0518/#config

The addition of a TOML parser to the standard library is really welcome. I've always wanted to use TOML in my Python scripts but having to import an external library made me use JSON instead, which was awkward due to the lack of commen

This vulnerability seems much harder to exploit. I've just checked the services I'm in charge of and while there are a few uses of `${ctx:...}` in those codebases, the corresponding context values are all injected internally and n

After reading the answer, I've got some questions: 1. I like little-endian systems because adding or subtracting small numbers is easier in those systems byte-wise. Would the same benefit apply to human languages? 2. Why did the Arabic
