mooism2··on ITerm2 2.0
I expect it would require explicit support from mosh.
mooism2··on ITerm2 2.0
I have tmux set up so that pressing the prefix key twice switches to the previously selected window. I don't remember whether it was like that out of the box, or whether I had to configure that when I switched from gnu screen.

I take it with nested tmux sessions, cmd-D would split the outer tmux window? How would you split the inner tmux window?

mooism2··on ITerm2 2.0
Am I right in thinking that the tmux integration won't work if you use mosh? (iTerm2 -> mosh -> tmux)
mooism2··on ITerm2 2.0
Does tmux integrate with itself? That is, does this solve the problem of needing different prefix keys when nesting tmux sessions (whether using iTerm2, or using a terminal emulator that doesn't itself integrate with tmux)?
mooism2··on Ask HN: Why most "Hackers" are negative around here?
That article is about politics at least as much as it is about business.

Most of the comments there aren't negative. Critical, yes, but not negative.

Either that is a bad example, or I'm failing to see what you're complaining about.

mooism2··on Ask HN: Why most "Hackers" are negative around here?
Can you give examples?
mooism2··on Ask HN: Why most "Hackers" are negative around here?
What are you talking about? Technological disagreements? Political disagreements? Business disagreements? Something else?
mooism2··on Show HN: I wrote perl golf that screwed up GitHubs syntax highlighter
It's not possible to syntax-highlight perl code perfectly without compiling it... but I'd expect a decent perl syntax highlighter to process that line correctly.

mooism2··on Conscientious Objection and Alternative Service
I'm confused. I thought the USA had abolished conscription?
mooism2··on Why or Why Aren’t You Using Scala?
1. The type system is too complicated.

2. It's difficult to find implicits. If I am looking for a Haskell typeclass instance, I know it will probably be defined either in the same module as the type, or the same module as the typeclass. I couldn't work out where to find implicits.

Or just use UTC.
mooism2··on Ask HN: Maximum length within a control structure
I would say that if you can't fit a function onto your screen, it's too long and should be broken up.
mooism2··on The Most Shocking Result in World Cup History
Does evidence from betting markets back up this hypothesis?
mooism2··on Ask HN: What happen to Line Break on HN?
It's because of this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8003428

Someone used no whitespace in their comment to make a point.

mooism2··on Ask HN: Anyone remember article about funny Windows compatibility workaround?
I don't remember the specific article, but it was probably written by Raymond Chen on his “The Old New Thing” blog.

I can't find the Photoshop article with only a minute's googling, sorry.

mooism2··on Never Use HTML Tables, Ever!
I don't understand the motivation for this. The author blithely says to google for something... I must not be using the right keywords. You'd think he could at least link to a few examples.

Put your browser into porn mode and NYT will let you read without registering.
mooism2··on Ask HN: Do you use proxies?
Yes, I proxy some of my work ssh connections so I can access them despite working from home.

Yes, when I'm working from the library, I proxy all my work ssh connections over a ssh connection to my personal vps, because the library seemingly blocks everything except dns/http/https; sshd on my personal vps listens on port 443 for this very reason.

Yes, at work we use CloudFlare to proxy our website.

mooism2··on Microsoft's Cortana Has Predicted Every Elimination Round World Cup Game So Far
Article says Cortana has correctly predicted 6 of 6 knockout games. There have been 8.

And since when has a team going out of the World Cup been tragic?

mooism2··on Why does subtracting these two times (in 1927) give a strange result?
You're in China. They adjusted the local time zone. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6841333/why-is-subtractin...
mooism2··on Show HN: Nuclear Chess, an explosive chess variant
The rules as stated are ambiguous. If there's no check, then there's no checkmate, so what's the win condition? Experimentation indicates that you win when your opponent's king is removed from the board. Is it a draw when both kings are removed on the same turn?
mooism2··on Ask HN: Caps lock warnings
If someone is memorising your password from watching you type it in, caps lock being in an unexpected state is not going to hold them up for long.
mooism2··on Ask HN: Caps lock warnings
You get warned about caps lock being on before you enter your password, so it's not a security issue.

Before OSs did this, when I mistakenly had caps lock on while entering my password, my thought process after each password attempt went something like this:

- oh, did I mistype my password?

- I'm sure I typed it right, are the key presses not registering?

- oh ffs, did I change my password? No. Wait, is caps lock on?

- yes, that was it, argh

It just stressed me out for no good reason, and I'm glad I get warned about it now.

mooism2··on Security exploits by programming language.
Title as submitted is Security exploits by programming language.

Actual title of linked page is Software Assurance reference Dataset :: View all test cases and contains a mix of C, C++, and Java. There is no way I can see to search by programming language (or even to search at all).

mooism2··on Ask HN: Why can I upvote some of my own comments?
This is happening with my comments as well. My earliest asterisked comment is 39 days ago, then my most recent upvotable comment is 43 days ago. This is on the third page.

I don't think this used to occur.
