Paying does not stop people from lying to you,as long as there is interest in it. The crowd has been manipulated throughout the history, and is destined to be so, because there's interest in it. If you want not to be part of the crowd,use your own discretion, which you cannot outsource,by paying.

It is not that common. Erlang has a famous one "erlang the movie". This one feels more like a hat tip to the awesome erlang one.

Just checked the website and it looks like a mimic with payout. I hate them all the same no matter whether I am asked to click on all the buses or cats.

Even if it does not cause any performance issues, I dislike it. If the thing runs in terminal, it should be expect to be used in a script thus it would be better to make no assumptions of terminal capabilities and leave the fancy part to external tools, if one is interested. I always hate systemctl's piping to a pager by default. "Do one thing, do it well", don't try to surprise users with fanciness because at work we don't like surprises.

In retrospect, safe doesn't equal healthy, and the damage is usually recognized decades after. I don't think people know coke was unhealthy in the first day. GMO food is still very important though, considering globally we may have a food crisis. However, until that happens, nah, thank you.

It isn't. I use F11/F12 for previous/next tab, in tmux and browser, and I can confirm it.

I recently discovered kitty[1], and I love it. It certainly doesn't have all the fancy nice-to-haves, but it is butter smooth, 256 color okay, and renders emojis nicely.

It looks like a cloud-init wrapper to me. Shell script provisioning, the kind that I would avoid.

You can have similar completion using zsh-autosuggestions, it is easy to configure. However, improving performance is difficult.

Success in work does not make one happy, or at least in the long run does not do so.

It has been discussed in great detail in book The Power of Now if I remember correctly, that there are two types of happiness, pleasure and joy.

Pleasure is short-term and results usually from external events. Winning a lottery, having a party, making your first million, and etc, these will bring great pleasure to you. However, pleasure fades away fast, and you will not feel any difference after some time, no matter a day, week, or a month. The life goes on, and you still have all other things to make you stressed and feel miserable. This is why people say money cannot make one happy.

Joy is, on the contrary a skill that can be learnt. It is an attitude to be content with your current state, and be just a little bit above that "neutral" mood, no matter in what adversity. With this skill, you would not worry about if you would succeed in your job, because it is irrelevant to your happiness.

Both The Power of Now and Stoicism stuff like A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy can give you some hints on how to live a joyful life.

I used mutt for 10 years and then moved back to web mail. With inbox zero and gmail keyboard shortcuts, processing email is so easy that mutt is almost an over-kill.

I used to use Ngrok, then I discovered ultrahook which gives me a persistent endpoint, for free.

Firewall rules are not yet implementated on ipv6 network in China by ISP. It is a fact, and actually people are using ipv6 network as a means of bypassing the wall.

Nope. If mobile network uses ipv6 then people would have no problem accessing Facebook

I have been using huginn for more than one year and I am very satisfied. What's the difference between huginn and beehive?

After discovering cvim for Chrome, I switched and never looked back. Vimium, on the other hand, is a bit different from pentadactyl/vimperator experience.

I have heard of people using Huginn and jasonetteios[1] to build ios apps.

The ranking is a joke. Look at taobao, the most famous website in China. Its front page is a mess. As an Chinese I can tell you those Chinese copycat software or websites are often patched up Frankensteins.

I was about to say the same. Recommended it to a few friends. It is a life changing book, even more enjoyable than original Chinese version.

I will never activate my wechat payment. Actually I avoid all Tencent products like plague. Having been seeing Tencent's shameless copy-cating and alluring teenager to spend money on its shitty virtual costumes (In early days, you would have a half naked virtual avatar if you didn't purchase any costumes and costumes have expirations),it is hard for me to regain any trust in this company.

I was reluctant to switch to tmux, but screen's never fixing its UTF8 display in hardstatus makes me sad.

Interestingly, this thing, made in China, has almost zero sales in China. Its price is a bit high, if compared to TL WR703n, which can do a lot more things. http://world.taobao.com/search/search.htm?_ksTS=145780791366...

It reads like pieces from David Rock's <Your Brain at Work>.

It acts like Alfred web search, but in command line. I still prefer Alfred, but for those who use Linux it is convenient if you do not use vimperator.

Steve Jobs believed in Buddhism. There is one saying in Buddhism that your heart is your Buddha. Follow your heart, put in this context, could be translated into "follow your guts feeling, do the right thing" which is actually against taking action out of ego or desire. Passion is desire, and "follow your heart" should have nothing to do with it if Jobs took Buddhism practice in daily life.

If I understand correctly, there is almost no way to stop this attack because it uses client side JavaScript code. If Baidu doesn't remove this malicious js from its http response, github will continue to suffer.

Sometimes it was not only intimidating. Several months ago I had interviews with apple for a devops position. While most interviewers were friendly, there was a very aggressive one. He started with "I am going to ask you some of my favorite questions", and the tone of the interview went sour. Most of the questions should be from the skill sets he was mostly proud in but remotely related to the requirements of the position. For questions that were relevant, he asked something like "how could you terminate a forkbomb without a reboot?" which I answered "practically it is impossible", he insisted there was a way which I did not know, and I felt insulted. While I guess he was expecting me to answer process group killing (which is still impossible when all resources are taken the computer is not responsive at all), it is just too damn wrong to make an interview a do-you-know-what-I-know showcase of the interviewer. Unfortunately, in big companies like Apple, ego-filled persons are not rare. If having to go through more than 5 rounds of interview, one have a good chance to encounter one.

Reading comments in this thread reminds me how talented people are and how much superfluous engery there is in them.

Chinese Gmail user here. Now the easiest way to access Gmail is via Mailbox. No kidding. It works on my android phone and Macbook, and should do as well on iPhone. The first time of use requires a proxy, but afterwards it is okay without any. My guess is email information is partially saved on Dropbox servers by Mailbox. I don't know for how long Mailbox would continue to work though. when it doesn't work, I will have to use a SSH tunnel every time checking emails.

Personally I have to thank the great firewall for blocking Facebook and Twitter so that I would not waste my time on these nonsenses. For serious problems I do not mind find a way to access google, but I would not do it to try to access Facebook especially when none of my friends are there.
