    Why does signing up through Github require the "act on behalf" permission? That seems risky.

    Unfortunately many older mud servers (diku? Rom?) started with the wrong \\n\\r and codebases spawned from them just continued. Very few send the proper \\r\\n

    I started "real" programming with MUDs, and after a hiatus I'm still helping run a C-based MUD, and it's awesome. Much water has passed under bridges, yet there are dozens of us ev…

    That's great, but not "open source". The "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International" license isn't.

    Show HN: C-Based Ansi2html

    Got a bit tired last week of using pretty slow programs to convert ANSI-colored text to HTML (which I do often enough, as I dabble in developing a text-based MUD), so I built my ow…

    That depends on "which version" of "Perl 7" you're saying, as IIRC there were various "factions" that had varying ideas about what ought to happen when "perl7" runs programs that d…

    Ctrl + [ instead of Esc gets one back into normal mode, with no delay Takes a while getting used to it (I still haven't)

    Comment #37812206

    I had a long battle with making kitty work with tmux. I settled on the following in ~/.tmux.conf, before moving to wezterm for good. Maybe it fixes things for you, too: set -g defa…

    Yup, I do. I do use Yabai, sans that modification. Disabling SIP "just" to get speedier/no animation doesn't seem like a good cost/benefit.

    Comment #37753188

    Nope, it doesn't. It reduces it greatly, but it's still there. To disable it "fully" one has to disable SIP, and that's not a great idea. Rather than "reduced" motion, I'd really l…

    Since about 2008-01 or so, using Moose, we've been able to do something like: { package Point; use Moose; has 'x' => (is => 'ro', isa => 'Int', required => 1); has 'y' => (is => 'r…

    I use skhd and yabai, and it's quite okay. Not as great as i3 under linux, but much better than OSX's defaults for sure.

    I use wezterm and love it, too - BUT, it doesn't yet support SSH agent forwarding, which are an integral part of my workflow for some machines. So it's great -- for me -- for local…
