Is there a way to tell CTRL-w to break words at / as well as space? I often use it to remove a parameter from a command I've copy-pasted or got from the history, but for the cd use case it removes too much.

Edit: ESC followed by backspace seems to work.

I don't know why people keep telling this. In reality most people who get into Bitcoin do this because they heard all those amazing stories of getting rich and when they check they see the value is rising, rising and still rising.

I doubt the far majority does even know what an ICO or NFT is and most of them likely still have and use their PayPal daily.

There is really nothing shady about protecting your money from failing currencies by investing in something that works right now.
Is that true? Google Projects correspond to AWS accounts. You can have as many AWS accounts as you like. If I'm not mistaken (very much possible), you can even inherit permissions to AWS accounts comparable to Google's org/folder hierarchy.

I meant when comparing it to how deadly the virus is. The virus might be 1000x more deadly for the average person, but that's grouping 20 year-olds with 85 year-olds.
Star Citizen is allready a game.

It's not particularly good one[*], and it's missing a lot of promised features, but you can actually, fly the ships, have combat, trade some, walk in ships etc.

I am not defending them, because It probably will end up in tears, but they already delivered some.

Although clearly in pre alpha state, is more stable than some recent releases by major studios.
I think the mafia is overhyped and an easy way of keeping up the fiction of a clear separation between good and bad, citizens and criminals, oppressed and oppressors.

In this specific case, there is no need whatsoever for the threatening employee to be part of a criminal association. In a land where many people have little to lose and are, by culture, prone to up their threats until they have their way, victims are afraid of refusing their requests. This in turn further encourages the behaviour. The issue, more than the power of the mafia, is the weakness of the state: extremely slow, sloppy and reluctant in prosecuting crime (big or small), very quick in pardoning convicted criminals.

I was an early backer and played since the first playable teasers. For background, I played EVE Online for 10+ years, and have played almost every single space-based open-world game other than Star Citizen.

Unlike the game talked about here, it's actually a technically impressive game with some properly unique ideas and some really fun aspects. It's also a total buggy mess and half the time I can't even get through a half hour session without it either hard crashing, or coming across game breaking bugs. Plenty of people seem to be having a fine time, building huge bases and impressive ships and running some pretty decently sized operations, but that's not me. Whether it's my hardware combo or just bad luck, I've struggled to ever get a solid session in at all. I still don't give up on it though, and check back every few months, as I think they ARE building something awesome, it just needs a lot more work.
I did exactly this a few years back.

It added 18.5 kB on top of busybox, so, not as good as the 6kB ASM server code. With busybox included, the whole image is 1.18 MiB, or 751 kB compressed.

I'm not about to argue against systemd, it's great software, and it's in every distro right now for a reason. Understanding apt (+/- how to package for it), systemctl, and the options you've laid out in your unit file are not trivial, and I would argue that they are less trivial (or harder) than understanding what's happening with containers, especially if you're running rootless containers, and/or using a container tool like podman which does without the daemon.

--cpus 2 --memory 500M

is easier, and gets you the same results though they may not be as permanent or as well managed -- the management and external stuff is an orthogonal concern, and that's not the situation I was addressing. The original point was insinuating that throwing up a binary and getting it to run. your filesystem is also not available to the container by default, and in this way docker sort of fails closed. If you're running a rootless container, the story is even better.

One thing you have not covered is filesystem isolation, which docker also does very easily. There is a lot to configure on the systemd side[0] and the parts that are overlapping are just easier to configure and run with docker. Systemd is the better tool to build repeatable installs for pet processes, but again, there is a lot of knowledge underneath that is related. People to this day still complain that systemd does too much (I personally like it a lot, and it's great to have everything in one place).

[EDIT] Just to make myself clear, systemd is an amazing tool -- I like it, I run it, I'm not smart enough to administer a more complicated setup -- but docker is easier, for a large part of the small subset of systemd's capabilities that docker covers.

Yes, I'm well aware. Indictment is in no way being found guilty by a jury of your peers though and has wildly different standards of evidence.
The article's title is a tad hyperbolic, but it is worth reading nonetheless.

About halfway down , it states the rules:

Every hour, you have to come to the start line and run a 4.16666... mile course (so 100 miles per 24 hours). When you finish, you can rest, eat, sleep etc. But on the hour you have to be back on the startline again. The winner is the one who is still there when everyone else has quit.

Yet another example of the weird and wonderful things that humans can, and do, do.

That said, number of cameras is not the only metric. Every house and business having their own camera backed by VHS tapes and watched occasionally by bored humans is much less of an issue than one camera per road but they’re all networked and backed by hard drives and scanned by AI.

oh god I fell in love with everthing related to Alpine Linux. Found out about it when I started playing around with docker but then ported all my home servers and Raspberry Pis to Alpine. It's so damn small and has little overhead. Need docker? `apk add docker`, done!

Show HN: A super bot for your Slack, 100 giveaways for HN Founders
I and my co-founder Manju have been working remotely for around a year, while we love the concept of remote work we found it difficult to keep a track of all the important stuff on Slack.

For instance, there are 10's of channels and 100's of messages coming in, we often lost track of the most important messages or links and it is never easy to find them again.

We wanted an easy way to highlight/capture messages for our weekly SuS updates without digging through all the conversations, every time just before the submission.

Completely frustrated with this problem, we wanted to solve it, we build a very simple bot for ourselves to manage our Slack conversations into a DIGEST of sorts.

The bot created a DIGEST consisting of all our:

#Actionitems ( for the things to be done or top goals for the next week )

#Discussiontopics ( setting up meeting agendas, discussion items, etc.)

#highlights ( for anything else which was super important for us like links, funding resources, etc.)

The bot is extremely simple, yet it gets the job done! now we never have to worry about the weekly updates again. we just pull the content from Poppins and update it on SuS.

We use it all the time and can't imagine our workspace without it, as It has been super helpful for us, some of the people in our network who are starting up have shown a lot of interest to use it as well. in fact, a couple of them are already using it!

we are willing to give it for free to other Startups/teams and individuals who are facing similar issues on Slack.

we will give it for free to the first 100 sign-ups.(first come first serve basis) https://www.poppins.me/

P.S Fun fact: we built the entire Bot to assist us with our SuS update within a day or so.

Cheers,

Mayank

I can clearly feel a mild dopamine rush every time the UI of an app/service changes - independent of whether that being an actual improvement. I suspect this effect to be even stronger for a majority of users. From that pov changing the UI is a marketing instrument.

I shipped a game exclusive to PS4 using UE4 about 4 years ago.

Godot by default does not support consoles. Yes, you can to employ another company to port it for you, but that is a no go for me. UE4 on the other hand you can do it all yourself once you get the developer kit and access (legally) to the platform of your choice.

On the other hand you can easily do mobile with Godot.
Would be happy to answer any queries here.
This is very bad news if it ends up panning out.

Apple is one of the few major tech companies who so far doesn't have a conflict of interest with their users. Apple's interests are still mostly aligned with their users', with the idea that Apple provides good products/functionality that (mostly) benefit users and get paid good money in return.

Expanding their advertising business would change this and ultimately put them at odds with their users.

Or dog shit under a door.
With UE4 you have a very large engine to deal with. With Godot you'll spend more time making your game look AAA.

for 2D I'd definitely go Godot.

I mostly do 3D games with fixed or limited range cameras (not first persons) so Godot works nicely.

Overall you'll need to understand well the engine you choose going forward. They all have their pros and cons.

As an example, it takes 3-4 hours to recompile the UE4 engine source code (for customization). Godot, about 4-12 minutes, in its entirety.
Author's point of view... dbgate have much simpler user interface. dbeaver is powerful, but it has traditional design like other applications made by Java. dbeaver looks like Eclipse, whereas dbgate looks like VS Code. Another point - powering by javascript allows lot of "hacking" - plugins as NPM packages, data export/copy jobs exported as js files, which can be run with nodejs. This cannot be accomplished with Java.

That's a very simplistic test that falls flat on its face when you realise Hitler loved animals, was a vegetarian, and despised smoking and alcohol. By your test, animal cruelty and self-poisoning are fine because Hitler disproved of them?
Lying about being in the mafia can have grave consequences, obviously. Especially if there is a big media storm about it and you happen to live in the vicinity. I think it's pretty normal to give them "benefit of doubt" if they claim to be in any mafia, and stay clear of them, no matter if you think they actually are in the mafia or not.

Didn't doubt your experience (I read and enjoy your comments all the time on HN), just pointed out that the feature set offered by single static binary (which arguably is not easy to build depending on what language you're using, etc) is not the same as what's offered by linux containerization in the current day.

Half the "static" binaries that used to float around weren't even fully static because of glibc, until building with musl (and getting bit by getaddrinfo) became widespread -- the situation is not as simple as you made it seem.

It's kind've hard to argue about having random unknown data laying around, but...

The insinuation that my device may be host to something potentially malicious is concerning. It gets a little worse that it can change, without notice. I'd tend to trust Signal and their security, but the potential for that mechanism to be hijacked is always present. They've certainly made it hard, though, and I think the folks at Signal are probably clever enough that my anemic observations don't tell the whole story.

FreeBSD Tutorials
Yes GDScript. Very few gotchas, very easy to learn and maintain in my head. I believe I had to recompile the engine a few times for various things, which took a bit more, but the game can be shipped entirely with GDScript.

Having used C++ and Blueprints extensively, GDScript is really a breeze. Of course games perform better if made entirely in low level C++, but as an indie you have to make a choice and you have to ship a game.
> What can make sense is that it would be illegal to buy sex (but ok to sell). Otherwise, if attacking the prostitutes, the legal system hurts the ones it was supposed to help

The prohibition of prostitution was never to protect prostitutes, who were viewed as the both immoral actors and temptors of others into immorality.

Its true that a modern rationalization of maintaining the prohibition of prostitution is that it is a tool to protect people from being victimized by being compelled or misled into becoming prostitutes, but that’s more of an attempt to sell the policy to people who would reject the original premise by people who are personally invested in that premise but recognize that others are not than anything else.
Meh. I just want to make cool shit.
With regard to 3D indoor scenes, performance is entirely related to the complexity of the scenes & how much effort is put into loading/unloading non-visible areas etc.

For a couple of data points, here is the official Godot third person shooter demo:

https://github.com/godotengine/tps-demo

And you can also find "Platformer 3D" demo here (playable in browser too):

https://godotengine.github.io/godot-demo-projects/

The showcase also has some 3D games that have been produced:

https://godotengine.org/showcase

Also TailQuest in development 3D Platform/Puzzle:

https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/gnfjn9/tailquest_so_...

Various people have experimented with voxel worlds and other things which push the limits of the engine & are viewable on YT.

In short, with 3.0, Godot isn't competing with, say, Unreal in the 3D realism stakes but it still has more 3D capability than most people who start to make a 3D game will actually hit when the scope of the work required becomes apparent. :)
no one actually gets paid to write and improve the software, only to sell services. That's a rotten incentive structure.

That incentive structure is universal though. A builder also doesn't get paid directly to maintain his toolset, that cost is included in how he charges for his services. A hospital doesn't charge you for the laundry/cleaning services, it's included in their service bill. If a farmer's combine harvester breaks down, he can't just up the price of his wheat twenty-fold to pay for a new one.

There is a market for selling shrink-wrapped software, see e.g. Microsoft, Nintendo, Apple. Invariably these products are proprietary, because Free Software uses a different paradigm: under the free software/open source model, software is a tool, not a product.
