    I would definitely prefer this. I've never wanted to see the "cache" stores for all (XDG-compliant) apps, but often want to see everything for a single app.

    Is there any advantage/difference to using ProxyCommand with netcat vs just saying "ProxyJump bastion.example.com"?

    As someone spending a large amount of their week doing interviews these days, I really empathize with the spirit of this article. I've expressed an annoyance very similar to this o…

    I don't think there's all that much overlap between people who use Rust and people who think a terminal written in javascript is a good idea.

    Good for them. Those are good tweets.

    > 'we have CTA that works, don't increase my tax' I'm sorry if that's how I came across, it's definitely not my feeling. I think the CTA works in that it's a system we should be in…

    Yeah, of course there will be fares for riders. I meant tax revenue that the city could be spending on other things. I see that they're claiming there's no risk for the city, and t…

    There's probably a more jargony, urbanist term, but I would generally just say "hub and spoke".

    I hate this so much. First, nobody who's lived in Chicago for more than about thirty minutes can possibly believe that this will end up being free to the city. At some point, someh…

    You're thinking like a human. There are plenty of organizations where $5/mo and $150/mo are essentially indistinguishable and would not affect decision making in any way.

    I use it a lot when doing exploratory SQL work or writing queries. I can tinker with my query in one pane and send it over to the `psql` repl in the other. I do use psql's `\e` com…

    I sometimes suspect that the build tool ecosystem would be very different if only Makefiles allowed soft tabs.

    Awk meshes very well with a lot of my natural inclinations about text processing. I've sadly stopped using it lately as it seems that the majority of my use cases these days run up…

    That's because pushing back against a potential employer like that is the HN version of Internet Toughguy Syndrome. You might also be surprised how few people respond to a mugging …

    As usual with acquisitions, they have stripped any information about what their product actually is (was?) from their site.

    A little weird to see it here, but ModularGrid is the best thing to happen to the modular synth community since transistors.

    Yeah, I suppose reading a bunch of one-sentence-per-line paragraphs might be a bit sub-optimal, but I haven't found it to be a problem in practice. For longer documents, it's not m…

    Part of the beauty of Markdown is that you don't have to use soft wrapping. Consecutive lines (with no empty lines in between) are combined into paragraphs. I put every sentence (o…

    We've hired a few as test engineers, and I think results have been quite positive. We treat our QA department as kind of a software engineering farm team. In fact, I don't know the…
