Is there a name for oft-repeating content/post and the overall discussion on a given topic (dotfile management in this case) on HN? I am not complaining about the repeat. It’s just that I find it very amusing to see different people ki

We’re just looking at the manifestation of one of the hardest problems in software engineering - naming things. There’s no one good answer. Instead we must design our system to be “soft” i.e. malleable - able to evolve as the world evolves.

Note that the design of the experiment needs to be able to disprove theory. That is to say if the results don’t match calculations then their theory is falsified and we make progress.

All of these incidents remind me of episodes from House MD. I swear they made one on this Antartica where House did a “zoom call”. The airplane guy had more complications than ruptured lung but apparently he had just came out of scuba divin

I don’t understand how an anti-proton can orbit a nucleus without annihilating into pure energy with a proton from the nucleus. What am I missing here? Honestly speaking I am really amazed by these researchers ability to separate and then “

Not controversial at all! Most linux distributions come with python installed. Anything more than invoking a binary and redirecting the output? Just write it in (pure) python I say! Edit: by pure Python, I mean don’t require any `pip instal

Vishy Sir during the end game commentary said that the engines say it’ll be a draw. Where/which move did Ian make the mistake? Anyways, hats off to everyone involved. Magnus, Ian, commenters, and the chess twitterati. What a game! ~8hr

I have read far too many ssh tunneling articles and all of them either forget about the bind address or just pretend that the only host that can be tunneled is localhost. The fact is that ssh tunnels are bound to an interface on one side an

I can’t make sense of this. Are you telling me that any Android user with “default” pixel setup will use my SSID for location tracking? And that if my WiFi shouldn’t be part of Google’s (and Microsoft as well) data collection I need to suff

Heck, even today it’s the polite way to communicate with drivers and maids. Don’t answer the call, but immediately call back and ask them if everything is ok. They won’t call you if it’s not urgent and important.

Personally, I learnt my bash by reading a lot of Gentoo EBUILD scripts and config files. I can recognize other Gentoo users just by how many curly braces and double quotes I see in a simple one liner. The one resource that I have bookmarked

PoE is probably Power over Ethernet. With that you don’t have to worry about laying down electrical line to power the APs. The APs draw power from the Ethernet line itself

it's also quite possible to design and implement this one the server side. I mean one can implement Circuit breaking, exponential backoff etc. at network level (e.g. istio) based on the "internal service" (could be VMs/n

Didn’t know this existed because I rely heavily on Caffeine when I am presenting or doing something that requires no interaction with the mac for long periods of time. And the caffeine app(also a shell command) has been since like forever!

OR perhaps the issue that the same people who are in the clique of the said field are also evaluating the research proposals. So the funding doesn’t run dry? Not that that’s a good or bad thing. You wouldn’t want a “non-expert” to evaluate
