I'm building a new terminal multiplexer called cy: https://cfoust.github.io/cy/index.html

It records your sessions and is configurable with Janet, a Lisp. I'm having a lot of fun with it! (It's also the only thing I ever seem to post about on HN, heh)

This is not a hard-and-fast rule. There's hardly agreement in style guides on this note. Don't be a jerk and nitpick style on the internet; it does not add to the conversation. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/13631/is-an-apos...

I took the class this textbook is used for a couple of years ago at UW. Andrea was a fantastic teacher and it was the easiest presentation of the material I'd ever found! Seriously, read this textbook. It's full of wit and information.

Yes, the scripting and building is all "online" as you put it. There are essentially no barriers to building, all you have to worry about is the primitive limit.

>ideologically more neutral I hardly feel like the global market will accept Chinese alternatives as being "ideologically neutral" in any sense of the phrase.

As someone who has been programming in Rust for nearly a year, even for commercial purposes, this article is baffling to me. I've found the compiler messages to be succinct and helpful. The package system is wonderful. It's dead easy to get something off the ground quickly. All it took was learning how and when to borrow.

Having just moved to SF from Madison, I have to say that the engineering competence of teams there is disappointing in comparison to the Bay Area. Not only that, but Madison companies really do not pay well at all. You can't expect to keep talent if you aren't paying for it.

Holy shit, that first one is so annoying. I don't understand how even the shoddiest of voice assistants on the market get it right but Alexa doesn't.

The thing is, ALL other voice assistants I have tested get this right. I have submitted three reports to Alexa support about this very thing and they don't care. It's ridiculous that doing something that is so common would be so ingratiating.

I've worked on a number of SPA's over the years and I always run into the problem of getting my team to give a shit about performance. "We're not Google," they protest. Frankly for a lot of people it's the trade-off of slow client performance for development velocity. It's much easier to just throw on another state for new functionality than it is to consider what parts of the page can be static and how they can be rendered.

It's frustrating that the author takes what is a reasonable field for humans to research and conflates it with some kind of sexist drive for domination. Personally I feel like this sort of hogwash (the author even stops short of saying "as a mother") undermines the credibility of the NYT.

I use Authy and LastPass all the time on my Apple Watch. It's really an incredible experience to have all of my digital identity on my wrist.

For what it's worth, you can just to Ctrl+K (and I assume Cmd+K) in Slack to quickly jump to a channel, no need for shift.

I don't think that's a good justification for slow startup time and general sluggishness. Despite having 30+ plugins and 800 color schemes installed vim starts up in just a few milliseconds on my work rig. I code all day every day.

I wrote a game for mobile devices in JavaScript that used a state machine and it worked far better than I could have imagined. It surprises me that there isn't a good web framework that does something similar, though Angular's notion of states comes somewhat close.

I'm writing a text editor. I love it, its handling of UTF-8+ strings makes me want to bawl with the amount of time I've dumped into handling that in other contexts. The lifetimes take some getting used to but after you do, the language is a breeze and so much fun to work on.

This site has an exposed Git directory, so you can clone the whole thing. Funnily enough, it appears to be actually talking to a MySQL database. http://sharesolo.com/get_notes.php

Also, all of the credentials are there. I won't post them, but lordy, please close this before your database is wiped.
