I assume the larger portion of what's "untenable" is "short commutes"; spending multiple hours of unpaid personal time in a car per day just driving to and from work so that you can have the place you sleep be affor

For me personally, 90% of it boils down to "unix baseline". I do most of my development work remotely on linux servers of varying flavors, but OSX + homebrew means that I can pretty easily use the tools I write for one machine on

It's also slightly stricter with syntax; you can't have extra ending commas. {'foo' : 1, 'bar' : 2,} is valid Python but not valid json.

I use it for just about everything work-related, but given that my day job is literally "connect to sets of remote servers and bang out code" it'd be insane not to. Some of my coworkers still use screen, but tmux + wemux havi

Honestly, I think that we're already moving that direction-- Patreon is comparatively recent, but more and more people are finding that it's actually a viable "microtransaction/subscription" model for online content

I started with and loved Mercurial as a DVCS, and it still has some QoL commands that Git requires some hoop-jumping to get at, but ultimately the deciding factor was the inability to permanently delete branches. Since branched dev work wou

If they have that much trouble taking the flags off of people's accounts, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that there's no codified correlation between "has the AP running" flag and the "is running a Comcast

I find it interesting that you say that, because my first thought was that this would be a step down from git pulling my dotfiles. All you need is to have a simple script that goes ln -s .zshrc ../.zshrc in your .dotfiles repo and ge

Is it still a social engineering hack if a well-known celebrity with their personal info broadcasted all over the internet decides to use that personal info to secure their account? Or rather, is that a social engineering hack on Apple, or

While I wouldn't disagree with the stupidity of "security questions" answered straight, I don't know if this is something to lay on Apple's doorstep, because anyone with a modicum of knowledge either lies or supplie

You only make the initial instantiation once. - SSH to remote - on remote, run "screen" - get disconnected from remote - SSH to remote, .bashrc runs "screen -DR" and you resume from where you left off You only have to cr

If your workflow doesn't include tmux or screen, then I feel like your problem's already been answered. If you really wanted to, you could just add a "/bin/screen -DR; exit" to your remote .bashrc and the scree

Seems oddly backwards to me, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. If I've bought and am paying for a phone that costs a significant fraction of my computer, it seems like a waste not to use it for that purpose. You can make the

It depends on how "reasonably close" they end up coming. If it ends up being a xeno's paradox of issues where it can handle 90% of situations, then 99%, then 99.9%, then 99.99%, etc, but each of those incremental improvements

It comes down, for me, to more a question of "how much external facetime do you have in your day-to-day job". Shared cultural displays are one thing, but forcing everyone into the "Least Comfortable Denominator" just bec

Unfortunately, "just find another ISP" is no longer an option for plenty of people. I can appreciate the sentiment, but the risk of being kicked off of your local internet mono/duopoly is a lot higher for a lot of people than

I've always just relied on zsh to deal with my pushd stack automatically. I don't frequently need to pushd (thanks to tmux's vertical splits), but when I do, it's inevitably something I don't think about until after

Same. I have 4 adapters floating around right now (my laptop, wife's laptop, work-provided laptop and the spare 85 adapter I have kicking around) and none of them have had a single issue in the 1-3 years I've had them.

While that's true, that's only the case for sites you regularly visit. If you get linked to a random site or blog post from HN, Reddit, Digg, Facebook, or what have you, your first thought is not going to be "gosh, I really w

It depends on how ads are blocked by the user, and it also depends on how you frame it. For example: I don't block advertising on Something Awful, because the ads there are both unobtrusive and occasionally quite relevant or interestin
