Tangential: I would love to see more interpreted languages offer shells with native constructs for operating as daily drivers shells (not just REPLs). When I first started learning…

3060ti only has 8GB, 3080ti has 12GB. That’ll make a difference for prices/comparison.

I'll bite: 15.5 years tech experience across SRE, SWE, PM, PGM, & strategic initiatives-adjacent things. Last roles was Director/Principal level. Last projects were driving hundred…

This is probably more common than you think. VMs are expensive, both in resources and cost (if you’re using something commercial). OS-level isolation (shared kernel, cgroups, names…

Oh, I've used some awk too. My favorite (and most ridiculous) application was using the qawk from The AWK Programming Language[0] book to make a flat-file relational database of CS…

I landed on near the same thing. I also went too far the other way at various points: ed as editor, weirder shells (posix sh, rc, es, rush (ruby shell), pdksh), suckless everything…

I've made a few batches of salmon garum that turned out nicely. Just make sure you use raw and not cooked, as the cooked fats will taste rancid. It tastes different than asian fish…

For fish sauce definitely, assuming you also use the guts so you can get the enzymes. If you want to make with a protein source that doesn't have the enzymes present, like mushroom…

Homemade garum is a fun kitchen experiment, if you have the equipment and patience. Heat + protease + protein substrate is really all you need.

The National put out a official 'bootleg' recording of two nights of concerts using the Mike "the Mike" Millard method, called Juicy Sonic Magic[0]. Only physically released on tri…

Technically TRS only has one ring (Tip Ring Sleeve) and TRRS only has two rings (Tip Ring Ring Sleeve). It does have four separate contacts though, separated by bands.

It's not just configs though, as there is some logic implemented via shell that could not be handled entirely in configs. "Window Manager" was chosen as it the logic imposes a spec…

This does have a single floating pane shortcut (in the current directory), using the tmux `display-popup` command.

I think the key distinction is the consistent layout (main pane + stack) along with keyboard shortcuts to manage. To me it's similar to running vanilla X{11,org} vs using a window …

I went a little too far into 'unix as my IDE'. Do I regret using `ed` as my primary editor? No. Do I still use `ed` as my primary editor? Absolutely not.

Through this project I realized that there's just some limitations to a plain tmux config. I eventually had to switch over to calling out to shell in order to get around those issu…

For me, personally, the value was in have something similar to a window manager for the terminal. As I was constantly spawning, killing, and reorganizing panes, a tiling-based appr…

As weight and baker's percentage instead of volume: 227g (94.58%) margarine 30g (12.5%) sugar, powdered 240g (100%) flour 5g (2.1%) vanilla (assuming liquid extract) 15g (6.25%) wa…

Hey, HN! With all recent agentic workflows being primarily terminal- and tmux-based, I wanted to share a little project I created about decade ago. I've continued to use this as my…

Now I want to see 'Tories' used derisively in modern American politics.

This was helpful in clarifying to me how dangerous Yarvin and those who follow his beliefs are to normal people. As stated in the AMA, he believes everything he says. We have subst…

I’m hoping https://www.albumoftheyear.org/ takes off

If you then delete from the Recently Deleted album it says that the photo “will deleted the selected photos from iCloud and all connected devices”. Additionally, at least in iOS 17…
