Make sure you check out magit[1] while your here. I think its my favorite piece of software that exists. I've used it for nearly 10 years.

I basically use it as the interface to my projects. It helped me become way more effective in git than I ever was with the command line.

I’ve actually heard of studies suggesting it’s specifically not an LRU. That each time you remember something the memory is rewritten (via proteins) so that memory is less and less accurate they more you remember it.

One of my all time favorite podcasts is about it: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/episodes/91569...

I’m sure science has progressed but I listened to this many years ago.

You might dig it.

> Anything that could help a person like me, who could really use help on this.

Maybe a self help book or a therapist? Your responses feel like they're coming from a place of frustration with your own situation. If that's the case then I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I'm not the right person to ask.

Good luck, for real.

I was trying to put it in perspective for you since your reaction seemed very out of left field.

> Sure this could work, for some. But nothing about

Yeah its a blog post not a doctors orders. Someone shared some positivity, on their personal blog, with a clearly playful title.

If it helps "some" people then its a success. Everything doesn't have to work for everyone.

Lighten up

> I see FreeBSD specific code littering upstream open source projects

Any examples?

> Why for example are Jails not compatible with Linux?

What? Jails originated in FreeBSD over 20 years ago? This question doesn't make sense.

The OP was referring to systemd affecting upstream by requiring systemd for things (ie Gnome). Are you saying there are pieces of software you have always used, but no longer can because they directly rely on jails?

I don't even use FreeBSD, but this was a weird argument.

OpenBSD started out as pdksh I believe, not mksh. But it still has a restricted mode.

https://man.openbsd.org/ksh.1#AUTHORS

He's saying that there is client side rendering and now there needs to _also_ be server side rendering to compensate for its shortcomings.

If you use sysupgrade, all sets will be installed, regardless of which sets were chosen during initial install.

They've even threatened to make just one big set since too many people are not installing all of them and then come ask for help .

I'm a big OpenBSD fan, but the OpenBSD devs recommend you install Xenocara, otherwise its considered a non-default install.

I saw two of your comments on this post. Regardless of your point, both of them are rude and do the opposite of what you want. Your comment history has plenty of other snarky, rude and unhelpful comments.

You are somewhat new so maybe you don't know that it's not really the way people communicate around here. Please check out the guidelines in the footer of the website.

How is this sad news?

- Its not a forced change. Don't do anything and emojis are fine.

- Even if it was forced, is slack responsible for every possible customization? (Hey I like using black text always! Its hard to see black text in dark mode!)

Its an additional feature. It seems like such a weird thing to be sad/complain about.

Do you mind sharing the long list?

That's not a good analogy. In this case, people aren't being stolen from, they are freely giving it away for someone else to do as they wish.

Additionally, "theft" as you put it, in this case, doesn't affect the original property owner.

$1,200 for 20 years of music, updated constantly. Still seems cheap.

Less than 5 grand for a literal life time of music.

Looks awesome. Random feature suggestion: Visual hunk staging like in magit for emacs. Super useful.

Edit: You can see that feature here: https://magit.vc/screenshots/ under "Staging Changes"

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not sure which version added it but /etc/installurl is configured to use cdn.openbsd.org during install. Prior to this, I believe /etc/installurl was populated with the mirror you chose during install. That had been around for at least a couple/few versions, IIRC.

Is there something else you are referring to? https://man.openbsd.org/installurl

Funny, that happened to me this week as well. With the same word!

> If that were at least like vim (which is terrible as well, but esc :q), it would be much easier to interact with.

How would you do "esc :q" if you were using vim inside tmux? :)

Can you provide some links for that?

I feel like this is a thing people repeat, specifically about KRACK and its been shown to be false multiple times (like here: https://lobste.rs/s/dwzplh/krack_attacks_breaking_wpa2#c_pbh...).

It looks more like a product acquisition than collusion.

> Slack will pay an undisclosed amount over the next three years to acquire Atlassian’s HipChat and Stride products

We moved to a monorepo about 2 years ago and it has been nothing but success for us.

We have quite a few projects but only 4 major applications. Maybe it is that a few of our projects intertwine a bit so making spanning changes in separate repositories was a pain. Doing separate PRs, etc. Now changes are more atomic. Our entire infrastructure can be brought up in development with a single docker-compose file and all development apps are communicating with each other. I don't think we've had any issues that I can recall.

We are a reasonably small team though, so maybe that is part of it.

It makes sense. You don’t pay and it acts like a radio station (suggesting songs). You do pay and it’s like a music library (play what you want).

Can you elaborate on this? What do you mean by native code, other than it being C? Why would a loopback listening daemon be an excellent way to get a remote exploit?.

This comment was rather brief.

I have my development machine at Digital Ocean. My local machine is an under powered macbook air (underpowered now that I use lots of docker for development). I'll probably just get a tiny chromebook next as I just want a dumb terminal.

I run emacs over ssh/tmux. I love it, emacs never shuts down, all my shells run through emacs as well. I can use any machine with my sshkey and be back to work immediately. I can increase the size of the machine, have public access to my dev box if needed. If I have a bad internet connection it doesnt matter since its just sending low bandwidth over ssh. All the real bandwidth comes from DigitalOcean and is super fast.

> We don't punish people because it makes us feel good or for some sense of fairness, we remove people for the good of society.

If that was true (in the US) then there would be more rehabilitation in prisons, preparing people to reintegrate into society. Instead of we don't and have a 75%+ recidivism rate for state prisons.

Also, the war on drugs.

I think you might be off by an order of magnitude

Q: Where did the author get the idea that fish is 200k SLOC?

A: 'cloc' on a fresh checkout of fish-shell says there's 200k lines.
