where it says that, follow the link
hugg··on Running Linux on My MacBook
Learning scripting means you learn things that can be applied to other things.
hugg··on Illustrated Jq Tutorial
Is there something similar for YAML? I've tried `yq` briefly but weirdly enough it doesn't seem to accept standard input in the way that jq does (ie pipe in some json, and output some pretty json)
hugg··on Finland to give dads same parental leave as mums
What kind of good reason would you be looking for? I mean for most just spending time with their small children and forming good relationships with them is 'good enough'

And yes, gender equality has not been tried fully in a society yet so it's hard to know.

hugg··on Finland to give dads same parental leave as mums
Well, they could just not take the days, then.

Noone is forced. It's just a 'waste' if you don't :).
hugg··on Are Daily Scrum meetings worth it?
Personally, I like the slack message standup over the meeting, but that's mainly because I'm a terrible listener, at least with text I can go back and see what a certain person has decided to mention. I also feel like it's easier to mention someone that I might need help from during the day
hugg··on Why you should have a side project
More like, "Why I feel like I should have a side project"
hugg··on Super Mario 64 has been decompiled
There's still a lot of assembly code
hugg··on Japan resumes commercial whaling after 30 years
The outrage is at the announcement that one more country is now allowing it. But you probably knew that.
hugg··on Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi?
Transmission daemon + Kodi + Running home assistant (just preordered the rpi4 4GB)
hugg··on A Cult Japanese Retailer Making Billions Breaking All the Rules
Hey! Flying Tiger is actually from Denmark.
hugg··on Burger King is introducing a vegetarian patty from the start-up Impossible Foods
Yeah I think those kind of alternatives are fine, since they don't really try to push "its just like meat!!" message, they all have distinct flavours.
hugg··on Burger King is introducing a vegetarian patty from the start-up Impossible Foods
A big thing for me was figuring out what vegetarian food I liked. There was a lot of experimentation. Building my own recipe bank for fast, easy to make food and more complex dishes. I am still expanding that knowledge.
hugg··on Burger King is introducing a vegetarian patty from the start-up Impossible Foods
I guess over the years I've lost some perspective :). Thanks for your reply.

Is it really better to make something "like" a meat product instead of just making a good vegan/vegetarian product?

Since going lacto-ovo vegetarian myself, I just want tasty food, doesn't matter if it's "like" a meat product.

hugg··on iTerm2 beta adds Python API
Hm, interesting, thanks.
hugg··on iTerm2 beta adds Python API
I use iterm2 + tmux + vim and there is noticeable latency compared to say a linux setup or using kitty
hugg··on Slow Software
McAfee intercepts every IO read/write afaik, which makes it horribly slow
hugg··on Twitter to remove ‘like’ tool in a bid to improve the quality of debate
As others already have mentioned, there are actual bookmarks in Twitter, that is not the "like" button (click the share button in the Android app, for example)
hugg··on Twitter has barred hundreds of accounts for posing as liberal activists
Maybe they think that only gamers know what an "NPC" is. But, feels like a stretch.
hugg··on Do You Know Cobol? If So, There Might Be a Job for You
Replying to the title here, but from my experience knowing how to program COBOL was only one small part of the problem at my previous employer. Knowing what the programs where doing and what other programs the output affected mattered much more. Such knowledge was not set in documentation but rather in people's heads, more often than not that knowledge disappeared as soon as the person that had been working in that part of the system retired.
hugg··on Apple’s use of Swift in iOS 12
As a mainly C# developer, it seems we have a lot of features in common!
hugg··on Google's 20th Birthday
Ah ok. It just wasn't showing anything on the map.
hugg··on Google's 20th Birthday
Why doesn't USA have any doodles?
hugg··on EU to stop changing the clocks in 2019
It's a conspiracy to get consultants contracts!
hugg··on Hacking an assault tank...a Nerf one
Sometimes I wonder if the SO in these kinds of comments actually get a negative reaction - or if it's just another dumb, outdated joke that women/girls are sooo sensitive
hugg··on MacBook Pro 15 (2018) – Beware the Core i9
So basically, professionals are using their professional-grade laptop wrong.
hugg··on MacBook Pro 15 (2018) – Beware the Core i9
This is unacceptable, sure, other Core i9 throttle (like the XPS 15), but not this aggressively. What is even the point of offering this if it can't keep it at even base clock?

Is this the fault of thinness, aluminium chassi or something else?
