I would definitely prefer this. I've never wanted to see the "cache" stores for all (XDG-compliant) apps, but often want to see everything for a single app.

Is there any advantage/difference to using ProxyCommand with netcat vs just saying "ProxyJump bastion.example.com"?

As someone spending a large amount of their week doing interviews these days, I really empathize with the spirit of this article. I've expressed an annoyance very similar to this one many times before - it's astounding how many no

I don't think there's all that much overlap between people who use Rust and people who think a terminal written in javascript is a good idea.

> 'we have CTA that works, don't increase my tax' I'm sorry if that's how I came across, it's definitely not my feeling. I think the CTA works in that it's a system we should be investing much more in.

Yeah, of course there will be fares for riders. I meant tax revenue that the city could be spending on other things. I see that they're claiming there's no risk for the city, and that is a very nice claim. It's also a naïve o

There's probably a more jargony, urbanist term, but I would generally just say "hub and spoke".

I hate this so much. First, nobody who's lived in Chicago for more than about thirty minutes can possibly believe that this will end up being free to the city. At some point, somehow, we're going to pay. Second, we already have a

You're thinking like a human. There are plenty of organizations where $5/mo and $150/mo are essentially indistinguishable and would not affect decision making in any way.

I use it a lot when doing exploratory SQL work or writing queries. I can tinker with my query in one pane and send it over to the `psql` repl in the other. I do use psql's `\e` command to open the previous query in your `$EDITOR`, but

I sometimes suspect that the build tool ecosystem would be very different if only Makefiles allowed soft tabs.

Awk meshes very well with a lot of my natural inclinations about text processing. I've sadly stopped using it lately as it seems that the majority of my use cases these days run up against a (to me) glaring deficiency in the language.

That's because pushing back against a potential employer like that is the HN version of Internet Toughguy Syndrome. You might also be surprised how few people respond to a mugging attempt with a well-placed roundhouse kick.

As usual with acquisitions, they have stripped any information about what their product actually is (was?) from their site.

A little weird to see it here, but ModularGrid is the best thing to happen to the modular synth community since transistors.

Yeah, I suppose reading a bunch of one-sentence-per-line paragraphs might be a bit sub-optimal, but I haven't found it to be a problem in practice. For longer documents, it's not much trouble to read the rendered version and do ed

Part of the beauty of Markdown is that you don't have to use soft wrapping. Consecutive lines (with no empty lines in between) are combined into paragraphs. I put every sentence (or longer clause) on its own line. This keeps the navig

We've hired a few as test engineers, and I think results have been quite positive. We treat our QA department as kind of a software engineering farm team. In fact, I don't know the last time we hired an entry-level SE directly. So

I don't think this will help as much as they hope it will. In my experience, people are generally incapable of pronouncing anything, even when it is said to their face. My name is Nat, which is about as simple a name as you could ask f

I have more of a django background, so I've never used any of the libraries that you compare this to. How does Sneakers compare to something like Celery ( http://www.celeryproject.org/ )? Does it let you kick off async

I started out writing perl scripts to download porn. Clicking through to every page of various free galleries and manually saving things was hard work, so I figured there had to be some way to make the computer do that for me. Still makes m

I've gotta second this, command-t is probably my single favorite plugin. I tried using FuzzyFinder way back when, but it was just a little too quirky to be useful. This blows FuzzyFinder (and even fuzzyfinder_textmate) out of the water. N

I had the same problem when learning Japanese. Whether teachers or friends, I didn't often speak it with other men, and definitely picked up some softer turns of phrase and pronunciations. Once I became able to hear this in myself I starte
