For some reason the old page is still showing up for me. The only new thing is this image from the homepage:

If you have an iPhone you can scroll horizontally even if it doesn't look like you can (though I am also annoyed by HN truncating the text)

Not sure why it isn't working for you, but here's a snapshot of the page: http://archive.is/5Hrgu
0942v8653··on Sublime Text 3 Build 3124
You likely have already tried this, but in case you haven't: sshfs has a mount option -o reconnect which tries to be a bit more resilient about this sort of thing.
0942v8653··on Bash 4.4 released
It seems that this has not been fixed (or maybe I'm just doing something wrong?):

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2015-12/msg00031...

Edit: it looks like you must use \1 and \2 instead of \[ and \].

0942v8653··on And no new Macs were announced once more
> because I don't want to rebuild the image every time I change a file..unless there's a way?

I believe the current strategy is to have a container that contains your full build environment, push your source files in by mounting a folder, and then use file watchers to automatically rebuild/rerun.

I don't think they are, if you mean this API: https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/12372638.json?pri...

Maybe you could send an email to hn@ycombinator.com

0942v8653··on Amazon Prime putting in commercials
Ok. It looks like it is just a single ad before the content of each of the pilots in the current promotion. Definitely a bit silly but not outrageous.
0942v8653··on Realize – Go build system with file watchers, live reload and output streams
Thanks, as soon as I read the title about file watchers I was hoping it would be a simple rerun/restart tool.
0942v8653··on Amazon Prime putting in commercials
Wow. How often do they show up? Are they skippable? This is pretty ridiculous, after making such a big deal of it being ad-free.
0942v8653··on Colorized man pages
Is there a way to avoid Times New Roman? Some of the characters are pretty ambiguous. I remember, back when I used that command, I mixed up an l and a 1 for one of the flags.
0942v8653··on Extracting data from Wikipedia using curl, grep, cut and other bash commands
I don't think it's really bash, more the utilities' inconsistent APIs and single-letter flags (which are not descriptive at all). Each command has its own API with different options, so it takes a lot of exposure to really learn them.
0942v8653··on Setup Keybase.io, GPG and Git to sign commits on GitHub
Hi!
0942v8653··on React Native for Ubuntu
This is great for GitHub, because when you go into the ubuntu/ subdirectory it shows the README in there just like it would for the repository root.
0942v8653··on The Apple Goes Mushy Part I: OS X's Interface Decline
Note: This is my personal opinion!

I recently had to use a computer with OS X Mavericks on it (10.9 I think). I was struck by how beautiful the interface was. I'm having trouble finding a good screenshot illustrating this, but compare

http://content.gcflearnfree.org/topics/243/2013_new_desktop....

http://download.softwsp.com/sites/12/2015/11/os-x-el-capitan...

Everything just looks better on Mavericks. The gradients may be over-the-top but they're at least consistent. Transparency on El Capitan is pointless and ugly. Maybe I like the system font a little better.

Firefox is also a really good example; it looked great on Mavericks but has not been able to fit in since.

Usually, I prefer simple UIs: i3, terminals, etc.. But the look they have done for Yosemite/El Capitan just doesn't work.

0942v8653··on Ask HN: Does this 'local web' tool exist yet?
Try the recursive options of wget. It should be pretty much what you are talking about.
0942v8653··on Inky 3 – Encrypted emails using ANY email provider
So this is, what, a worse version of PGP? I'm not sure I understand.
0942v8653··on Cloud9 Acquired by Amazon
> (or worse, they'll block everything but 80/443 outbound)

Or worse, they'll do deep packet inspection to make sure you are not using SSH. My high school did this, and I ended up stuck with Cloud9 instead of using my real server at home. Glad to be out of there.

0942v8653··on Ask HN: How to secure your Apple Mac against malware/viruses?
Related: is it possible to use ClamAV without the daemon, etc.? I would like to run it manually on specific files/dirs, but I don't know if I can.
0942v8653··on Ask HN: Best keyboard for Mac?
It's easy to reconfigure a regular keyboard to have the same modifiers and same key locations as a Mac keyboard. Don't let the symbols on the keycaps deter you from choosing one you like.
0942v8653··on Living, in Limbo
This issue is, from what I've gathered, fairly recent, and amounts to what some would call a crisis in psychiatry; there's a strong incentive for drug makers to prefer a repeating, temporary solution over a permanent one. Even if a permanent drug was researched, tested, and approved, it would be hard to come by because it would basically be a net loss for the company. However, it remains to be seen how viable "actual healing" is for a chronic problem—mental health or otherwise.

In my opinion, taking things from your perspective is going to be very hit-and-miss. Combined with the replication issues that seem to crop up in these fields, a great deal of money and energy might be spent on a non-drug remedy that is simply a more effective placebo. It could take years to figure out whether a treatment provides life-lasting effects.

0942v8653··on Ebay posts every character a user types into the password box
There is also the possibility of timing attacks on either type of request. By the length you can tell when the HTTPS request is most likely POST /PWDStrength, and from the times that the request is initiated, you can guess at some characteristics of the password (maybe they stopped typing for a second to verify requirements after typing 7 characters; maybe they stopped after 8 because they have to move to the numpad on their keyboard).

edit: the best sopution for this is probably to wait a specified amount between requests, rather than doing it with each character.

0942v8653··on Cheap HDMI capture for Linux
What about HDMI DRM? Does it break it (illegal) or fail when it is used?
