Tips from a dancer on how to deal if you don't have a shower at work to clean up after your ride:

- By far the most important, make sure you shower before you ride if you won't have a chance afterwards. IIRC, a shower will get rid of 99.9% of sweat eating odour causing bacteria, and that bacteria has a doubling period of about 20 minutes when well fed, so a shower gives you 3-4 hours stink free even if covered in sweat; much longer if you have a chance to change & dry off before those 3-4 hours are up.

- wear cotton. It might feel icky after you sweat, but it won't stink like technical fabrics will. Wool is a good compromise -- the smell of wet sheep is preferable to locker room.

- change your clothes and dry off when you get to work.

What are you guys doing with your configurations?

I've been using vim since 2009 and tmux for the last 5 years. Initially, I had to figure out how things worked, and that took some time, but I never spent any time configuring it now except if I find a new plugin and figure out a new feature I'd like to add.
I really enjoyed weekly updates on the Gambian election
Mouse works perfectly fine (at least in macOs), you can even resize vim panes and tmux panes using the mouse.
I like this move. I don't mind ads to support webpages I enjoy but I do want to 've rid of the really annoying ads. I also don't get why advertisers do that. If I am annoyed by an ad, I'm not going to buy.
It takes an hour by bike an forty minutes by car. That's forty minutes a day you could be spending with your children instead.
I am also really scared by the suggestion that they might 'take a leap' and check if it's valid... Then they have a list of keys and whether they work or not

Middleman have some utility but I think often they extract more money than the value they provide.
Which is why I said own the funds 'directly'. I'm not sure if WF/Betterment pool your money and then carve up % of funds or if you end up the actual owner. They may force you to liquidate to leave, which IMO is another strike against using them.

With regular brokerages you can move stocks/funds around with a transfer.
Yes, knowing English is great. Everyone should learn English.

But declaring English the lingua franca means that people from other cultures will be at a perennial disadvantage vis-a-vis native speakers, or that their native language would be neglected.

There's an obvious benefit we get from everyone speaking English, but there's also a non-obvious cost to the homogenisation of cultures. Already, there are languages dying (and dead), and with every languages dies a potentially different and meaningful way to look at the world.

In any case, I'd leave such decisions to those actually affected by them. People tend to react in surprising ways to other cultures telling them what they're worth or not (c. f. "Balkanisation")
Yes, it was Midnight Sun and my BBS was called The Night Light.

You were long distance in 609, so we might not have ever met. My only memory of the 609 area code was of a good Pascal developer named Ffejtable? (question mark included in the handle.) What was your handle?
Very nice. The design makes me really want to use it. Does it sync calendar and tasks with Exchange/Office365?
> Don't you mean rounded up? round_down(1 / 2) = 0

Oops, you're right. Fixed.

> I don't have experience with pen and paper RPGs, but how does this compare with other "ultra-light" RPGs like Risus?

I have been asked the same by SDF bboarders, but I honestly cannot given an answer (yet)—I need to check out Risus (and other systems).

> And is this setting agnostic?

Yeah, there are also different skill sets. I have added magic because fantasy themes seems to be the most popular settings, but I plan to add different ideas for modern-day or Sci-Fi scenarios, such as rules for hacking systems, space maneuvering and space ship battles, etc.
> The configuration is only as complicated as you make it to be.

Sure, I understand that, and it's tricky maintaining a balance between simple configuration and features. My point is that with VSCode, there's just so much I get for free, with a very pleasant user experience. I still use vim when I need a quick editor in a terminal, but VSCode is my always-on go-to editor of choice for coding.

> I suppose over the decades you used vim your vimrc accrued many layers of cruft.

Yeah, I think I've got about 2 - 4 years of cruft (because I refactor and garbage collect a little bit every year.) But not 20. :-)

Still, it's a pain point that VSCode takes away. :-/
I imagine the focus on the Atari is because of the much simpler mechanics and input data, compared to more modern games, correct ?

How hard it would be to make the transition to more complex games, like Zelda or Mario for the NES ?

You are wrong. The law permits denial of boarding in the event of oversold flights, however, the passenger was already boarded and the flight was not actually oversold.
People have different workflows, and different desires for what they want out of their editor. For myself, I have just enough vim config to turn off compat mode and enable a few things. I think the only plugin I use is fugitive for git. I used to be a full blown IDE person, but I found that I really don't need all that stuff. Vim as a more featureful vi makes me very happy and requires no ongoing maintenance.
Seems like if you replaced MONTEZUMA’S REVENGE with quicken or excel and you could replace 1/2 the office workers in the world.
Same boat. I use Atom with vim keybindings now and I feel much more productive than when I rolled with straight vim + tmux. Great tools, but there are much better options these days.

Or, to neovim.
Never heard of Wunderlist and sure will not remember To-Do for long.
The question I ask is, were all those apps just created to be bought? In other words, were they 'startups' always aimed at some kind of buy-out or IPO or whatever? If so, I have to question that whole model (shock, horror).

After all, it's one thing to expect everything to get cannibalized into, well, Microsoft I guess, and consider that an ideal world.

It's quite another to get used to the idea that all good things exist to be consumed and obliterated. I really don't care if it furthers somebody's stock prices or is a correct competitive move, to me that seems like entropy in a very obvious way.

And I have a feeling that when AI does kick in, its value system must surely be founded on resisting entropy… so it'll look at this sort of thing with a very dim view.
It depends on the implementation, the concept seems fragile but they can be amazingly resilient. There are a bunch of MEMS accelerometers that support ranges in the 10s to 100s of Gs.

Now let's hope they procrastinate just like everyone else.
I do exactly this myself, and it works remarkably well. I had a few conflicts I had to work around between different packages, but the updated vim package directory structure has mostly solved that problem.

EDIT: The biggest problem, for me, is that since they are all dotfiles, they are invisible to normal ls operations within the stow directory. It's a minor nit, but it can be quite annoying to run up against.
I can confirm with proof that they spread incorrect information and will not fix it even if you bring it to their notice. i.e. Fake News propagator.
I've heard such internalized beliefs described as "aliefs", indicating that they are, in a way, more fundamental. As an example, if you're walking in a dark forest at night, you might rationally believe that noone is hiding there waiting to murder you, but if you don't alieve that the forest is safe, that doesn't stop you from feeling unsettled.
I use tmux and vim too. The problem is no IDE (or editor) comes near tmux+vim for me. If they did, I wouldn't be using tmux+vim since it's an awful experience living inside a text-based window-manager like that.
That's true of your name, your address, your DOB, SS, and your phone numbers. Nothing stopped those things from being given out and collated by third parties. Nothing will stop email being given the same treatment.

All the tech tricks to try and figure out who gave who my email address are pointless exercises in time-wasting. Adding various words to your email (like with Gmail aliases) does no good because anyone can figure out your real original email. Only machines are (somewhat) fooled by this.

Of course, if you owned your own domain, or paid for quality email, you could have many multiple email addresses to partially address this, but since everyone switched over to so-called free email with social graph companies, what's the point.

Email will never die. Why should it? It's fast (instant, nearly) and you can send nearly anything to anyone - limited only by size (and with a few tricks, not even limited there). It's worldwide (not limited by who's on what 'network' or what is popular in whatever country).

If anything, I think we are seeing (or will see) a resurgence of email as the 'de facto' way of contacting and communicating with people. It even holds up pretty well in court. Email newsletters have made a come-back (a little bit) and with the stagnation of FB and G+ (did it ever grow?) and Twitter on the verge of Ch 11, how will you communicate with others? How will companies reach you?

Or did you want a fax machine?
Disappointed in Bugsnag for covering such trodden trails for a HN front page grab. Content marketing should have something to do with your business. There are hundreds of blog posts describing this exact setup.
Yes, you can select panes and windows with the mouse.

$ cat ~/.tmux.conf
set -g default-terminal "tmux"
bind-key -t vi-copy 'v' begin-selection
bind-key -t vi-copy 'y' copy-selection
set -g mouse on
setw -g mode-keys vi

set display-panes-time 3000 #3s

My two wishes:

- I wish mouse selecting text didn't select across multiple panes, or all of the blank space in a (zoomed) single pane. ("Anyone? Anyone?")

- I wish the tmux copy buffer ( ctl-b [ select yank ctl-b ] ) would copy into the system copy buffer ( ctl-v ).
Looks like he has one that fits his needs nicely with the bash terminal.
You will most definitely want a recent kernel (16.04 ships with 4.4 - you want 4.8 or later). Also check the Arch wiki about Intel video to see if you can fix your problems with X (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics), eg. switching from SNA to UXA.

Problem is attaching the session on a remote machine, this is the main reason I've gone back to mainly using tmux in fullscreen workspaces instead of relying on a tiling window manager.

Still often use tiling though to tile a browser with a terminal or two browsers.

SSL and TLS Penetration Testing [Definitive Guide]
What you're implicitly arguing is that since we don't prosecute injustice evenly, we shouldn't prosecute injustice at all. There's always going to be something worse happening, it shouldn't distract us from doing what is right. You could easily make the argument that since we allow North Korea to have prison camps, we can't throw murderers into prison because actual justice doesn't exist evenly around the world.

If you look at Linkedin, Twitter and Google+ you don't find the same features that are available with Facebook.

What I think has kept the social network so attached to our psyches is the same psychological principle as to why the Japanese love romanticizing high school in anime over and over again. Facebook was created as a utility to connect together alumni within a university. It plays on our tribalism and need for cliques.

Just like this post mentions it also is moving towards more visual feedback. The sensationalist adds, the lude pictures and facebook videos aren't enough. There must be more sensory feedback even if it requires a VR headset to get it.

Take the example of the IRC chat. There are no avatars and the names are user created. Just like with radio in contrast to television you get less stimulation. It doesn't engorge the senses.

I don't know the current state of things with Facebook as of right now, but I think at some point there is going to be a movement that begins to build and build and it will come from a deep revilement for the sensationalized news, the abundance of ads, the platform that promotes arguing, the too-slick ease of doing virtually everything in a virtual format. At the core of it is the fact that long ago people sought to break away from illusory things. Think Buddhism and Gnosticism. Now, instead, we are willingly and eagerly enshrouding ourselves in something that looks glossier and more fabulous than real life and it seems like we've forgotten to remember the signs along the road in case we want to turn back.
They fixed the mouse integration about a year ago, I remember it being a bit of a hassle before that.
Thanks for clarifying. I am happy to buy the discography, but I was hoping there was a way to do a repeating payment to support the project's continued development, as opposed to doing it on a show-by-show basis.
ToDo-Screensaver: A screensaver that reads a text file from your PC
I was surprised that there was no mention of door games. That was easily half the fun, IMO.
It usually only takes a moment to configure uMatrix for any given site. However, adding NoScript into the mix means that, each time I allow a new script or group of scripts, I have to refresh so that previously unallowed external requests can be made and uMatrix can register them. uBlock is usually not a problem and I usually don't have to touch it, but sometimes I have to let a request or two through.

Sometimes it's absolutely infuriating when I have to spend 5 minutes configuring a new site before I use it, incrementally configuring and reloading, but my anger directed isn't towards my addons. It's directed towards the shitty website that requires a thousand external APIs to function properly.

When it's bad enough, it's a sign that I don't need to be using that website. After all, what is the point of having three layers of blocking (not counting my other addons) if I just let everything through anyway in order to use the site? I also don't allow any third-party cookies and that is non-negotiable for any service.

If it's absolutely critical, as in work-related or I cannot find my information elsewhere, I spin up a thinly-provisioned untrusted VM to minimize my exposure to malware and spy/tracking agencies.

All of this effort is completely pointless if you let yourself get pixeled[0] or pinged with APIs like Google AJAX. And it's pretty much currently impossible to avoid getting pixeled entirely.

Until we fix the major security holes that allow beacons to track us, it's all just intellectual masturbation when we use these tools.

What I would like to see is an addon that intercepts all images and provides them as a tree to allow whitelisting of images, and a caching system similar to Decentraleyes[1].

I'm actually pro immigration. One of my biggest issues with H1B is the difficulty of a citizenship path. I would prefer to court true H1B holders. I want the US to be the number one country for all the high skilled people of the world.

The current H1B system abuses both native and traveler when cheated.
I for one consider that a feature - it is easy enough to write bad code in JS as it is, so anything that encourages defensive coding and solid unit/functional tests is very appropriate for this particular language.

A crash certainly draws attention to a problem much better than an error in a log that no one usually looks at.

Yes it's a pain, but you deserve it for writing buggy code and then not catching it in testing (that's what I keep saying to myself, anyway). ;)
IMO your biggest competition is probably just whatever comes installed on the phone.
I'm not sure about C++, but C tries pretty hard not to break code that complies with a previous standard unless it's absolutely necessary, and they put some effort into avoiding breaking common extensions too.

This is why, for example, the language-level boolean type introduced in C99 is `_Bool`, and then you can include a standard header that will typedef it to `bool`. Identifiers that begin with an underscore and an uppercase letter are reserved for the implementation, so no compliant code will be using _Bool anywhere for itself. And since old code won't include `stdbool.h`, there's no conflict if it happens to define its own `bool`.

Given this, it seems like the best approach would be to call it `_Typeof` or similar, with a standard header that does `#define typeof(x) _Typeof(x)` to make it nicer to use.
A simple, beautiful todo app and timer
Prior to moving to a mac and using iTerm2, I did this very thing. But iTerm2 has good enough support for all of the same things, without some of the limitations imposed by tmux, that I find I don't need to use tmux anymore. Split windows, quick switching between panes, mouse support... it's all just there.

When I work remotely, I use the tmux integration provided by iTerm2 to provide more native windows, and it works well enough that I don't have to think about it most of the time.

If I were moving back to Windows or to a Linux development machine, I probably would go back to tmux in a single window. I'm just somewhat glad I don't have to right now.
Did they not pay out the compensation? I can't seem to find that part.

I'm going to ask a staggeringly dumb question here:

Since none of the fish on Earth, which survive these conditions, live in zero-gravity, what is the reason for doing the experiment in zero-G? Given the immense cost of sending stuff to the ISS, there's clearly something about doing the work in zero-G that's either necessary, or highly advantageous.

Clearly the effect that keeps the fish alive works just fine under normal Earth gravity, or we wouldn't have an interesting question to answer.
Very nice! I like using `auto` when writing C++ and miss it when writing Objective-C. I could use Objective-C++, of course, but that has its own problems. I'll have to keep this in mind.
Is that all? That's ridiculously low.

I agree. Vim is solid as a rock. I've been using it for about 10 years and I saw it crash 2 times. On the other hand, I had to use Atom for 2 weeks and it crashed on me exactly 6 times.
I kind of expected this to say something about "married" being flipped between Jane Austen and George Elliot rather than just glossing over it and saying the results for both authors are substantially similar.

Also I wonder about the approach here. Austen's protagonists are generally female, right? So of course we're privy to more of their internal thoughts than the men.
