hyyypr··on Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
This is great, I had a limited number of queries with my previous plan and I would end end using duckduckgo most of the time out of fear of "wasting" my limited kagi searches.

The mental gymnastic of having to decide if a search is worth using Kagi for, ended up in my not really using Kagi..

This unlimited (and reasonably priced) solves this, thanks!

hyyypr··on Bram Moolenaar has died
Thank you Bram, you will not be forgotten. RIP
hyyypr··on Grand jury subpoena for Signal user data, Central District of California
What is wrong with the EFF?
hyyypr··on The Facebook phone numbers are now searchable in Have I Been Pwned
I don't recall ever giving my phone number either and my number is detected by HIBP..
hyyypr··on NASA's Perseverance rover sends stunning images
iirc the "landing crane" was doing autonomous live analysis of the terrain and making the necessary last minute adjustments to avoid problematic areas.
hyyypr··on Bloom filters debunked: Dispelling 30 Years of bad math with Coq
> Conversely, sending every URL that a user visits to some external service, where it could be logged and data-mined by nefarious third parties (i.e Google)

As in, just like DNS.

hyyypr··on Looking back at how Signal works
Excellent investigation on that SO question. I had no idea, thank you for sharing.
hyyypr··on Off-Facebook activity
Thank you for this.
hyyypr··on Work with Git Forges inside Emacs
Well, I'm perfectly happy with [1]fugitive thank you :)

Joke aside, why is magit magic?

hyyypr··on Show HN: Guitar Dashboard – Open source music theory explorer for guitarists
Regarding Toby, how confident are you that it is not another case of “you’re the product”?

I still need to dig into their extension code to see how chatty it is, their FAQ doesn’t mention how data is synced to their servers.

hyyypr··on Isochronous Curves
Me too, this morning.
hyyypr··on Big data meets Big Brother as China moves to rate its citizens
What about Credit scoring, to a French this also sound like an absurd idea.
hyyypr··on Neovim v0.2.1 released
Nice to see things moving forward !

I've been a very happy neovim user for over a year now (on linux). My switch was pre-vim 8 so the ability to have things (like plugins) run asynchronously was a huge plus, but now vim has that too.

For me the biggest selling point is the plugin architecture, I've been a vim user for over a decade now, and I'm only writing my own vim plugins now, because neovim allows me to do that in the language of my choice (ie. not VimL).

Same here, and the procedure is pretty straightforward.

hyyypr··on Pattern Matching with TypeScript
The implementation in the blog post does handle exhaustiveness via the "default" case of the switch statement.
hyyypr··on Uber Founder Travis Kalanick Resigns as C.E.O.
Pretty much the same here in Paris, France.
hyyypr··on Pegasus Mail
Unrelated but their website is remarkably well rendered in w3m.

hyyypr··on LastPass: Security done wrong
Could you elaborate ?
hyyypr··on LastPass: Security done wrong
The HN community seems to be giving a lot of praise for 1Password, Lastpass and Keepass occasionally. But rarely mention Dashlane, I'm curious as to why ?
hyyypr··on Practical NLP for Finding Wifi in Hostels
This is interesting.

Yelp has also started doing something along these lines selecting quotes from reviews in which a word that occurs frequently has been found.

hyyypr··on Desk: A lightweight workspace manager for the shell
Love tmux, fail to see how desk and tmux are related. I think you missed the point.

Wheb i boot up, i still have to ^R to cd to the right location, and then ^R again to "compile" etc.

I'm looking forward to trying this out, direnv (mentionned above) seems like an even better idea.

hyyypr··on Classeur.io: Re-enjoy writing, with Markdown
Was and still am a big evernote fan. I just switched away from it towards tiddlywiki to be in full control of my data.
hyyypr··on Classeur.io: Re-enjoy writing, with Markdown
I'm using tiddlywiki [1] and I absolutely love it. You can host it where you want (owncloud works fine), and it has basically everything you just described.

I edit mainly using the web interface, but you can also edit the "tiddlers" (each note) using any text editor. The note has it's metadata at the beginning of the file.

I think I'm only using a very small % of TW's capabilities, but it feels like a very powerful tool.

hyyypr··on A Good Vimrc
Thank you for this! I've been using capslock as Ctrl for a long time time, and fell into the bad habit to use C-c to exit insert mode.
hyyypr··on Google Cloud Shell
Please, make your contribution worth something by explaining your issues with OVH.

I've been a very happy customer for years now.

hyyypr··on Perplexing Pluto: New ‘Snakeskin’ Image and More from New Horizons
Isn't it just lossy compression related artifacts from the glow ?
hyyypr··on Whose xterm is it anyway?
Pulling _all_ Enlightenment[1] dependencies just for a terminal emulator is a waste of time and space.

Why would I use that instead of rxvt ?

hyyypr··on Why Some Security Experts Use Mutt
You can read html emails in mutt with decent support, using "links" or a somilar app. Mutt let's you define application that generate dumps for a given MIME type.

hyyypr··on Gravity's Oldest Puzzles
Great article, there's something I didn't quite understand though. Why would the Sun's gravity make the probe go _slower_ as it moves _away_ from it?
