I also have optical drives for backup and music/movies. I tried Netflix for movies but they have very few movies and for what they have, quality is low (few titles in - network dependent - HD and terrible sound - need to pump up the volume on TV until 70 % to be able to listen normally). And a 720p DVD looks better than an 1080p Netflix.
There are products that definitely ride the border. For example, if Nim isn't a videogame, are LCD-games videogames? I think most people would still call Game & Watch consoles videogames, despite the fact they aren't doing any kind of bitmap imaging.

Bash completion for the domterm command (a terminal emulator) calls the domterm command itself with a special "#complete-for-bash" option:

complete -o nospace -C 'domterm "#complete-for-bash" "$COMP_LINE" "$COMP_POINT"' domterm

It works pretty well has the advantage that it automatically ties the completion to the executable, avoiding version mismatches.

It would be great if other shells could use a similar mechanism. Then you could use the same completion logic for multiple shells. A complication is that zsh and fish completion provide descriptive help text; there would need to be a mechanism for a "completion option" to provide such help text.
If Kyiv falls that is 0%. The risk is a lot higher to him, he can't just walk out of this or be evac'd. The Russians have a price on his head and want him dead because they believe that that will break the Ukrainian spirit, which I highly doubt will be the effect, if anything it will spur them on.
How would you suggest to write a title that’s less inflammatory?

I have a higher tolerance to this type of language. Some people find any critique offensive. Some embrace it.

With any public confrontation, you’re bound to get a spectrum of people with various reactions. How do we make sure criticism, even harsh, needs space in public dialog whether it is open source or not? If it’s meant with good faith, that is.

People these days have an adverse reaction to any sort of criticism and it is troubling. Anything other than a pat on the back and emojis is considered rude. We got rid of downvotes on YouTube and this was the justification.

IMO, not really. Russian sanctions are a current topic that may well be relevant to those HN users that run startups. Or discussing things like Namecheap no longer hosting Russian domains. That’s all relevant. A dive into a historical debate, not so much.
We're talking about neonazi and far right militias in the ground that are being trained and funded by America. You clearly didn't read any of the sources that I linked(which are Western, and in some cases, US military sources). I'm not talking about dumb neonazis larping somewhere, we're talking about well armed and funded militias that are being used to fight a proxy war, killing civilians.

Regarding Kharkiv and Mariupol I won't discuss further as you clearly are more motivated by rhetoric, than talking about actual facts.

Also, if the Iraq war was a humanitarian disaster, the alternative was not too great either (i.e. akin to choosing to leave a child in the custody of an abusive parent because they're still being provided the bare necessities).

Hugo’s documentation is a great reference and very well articulated. If you are looking for a tutorial and want to grow understanding, a book might be much better. I am the author of Hugo In Action (https://hugoinaction.com) and the objective of my book is to introduce the concepts slowly and with a running example for easily trying out.

> I doubt you have ever penetrated deep enough into the favorite German pastime.

You don't know me.

Many years ago, early nineties, I worked in the kitchen of a New Jersey summer camp for over two months through a student exchange program.

At one point I decided to show them what "German" and "order" really means. I cleaned up the large pantry. Before, it was what you expect when you hear the term. A somewhat dark place with lots of food stuff in a lot of shelves. When I was done it was a bright room with every single can and every single label of hundreds of different cans and packages aligned to within less than a millimeter with the edge of the shelve and with each other. Every single label pointed exactly forward. Nut a speck of dust anywhere, and light flooded the room and between shelves. The contrast between before and after was stark. The camp manager walked through and did not say a word. My work as an ambassador of German-ness was done :)
The medium can matter in both cases, in the sense that the medium is not just the format, but also the cultural context of interpretation. There can be subtleties in word choice that evoke shared stories, or word connotations or otherwise make reference outside the work itself. You can have the same references in the form of visual symbols, stylistic choices or more. The viewer/reader must make much more effort to gain that cultural context for interpretation, which may very well be lost or degraded over time.

I would posit that while a painting has can be very high context, that the tendency is for poetry to be even more context dependent. Transplanted outside its native culture, I suspect visual works (again, on the margin) can be grasped with more depth by the viewer than than a reader of the (on the margin) poem.

Students will be evaluated on their grade point average (GPA); a student portrait sheet where they will be asked to demonstrate Portrait of a Graduate attributes and 21st century skills; a problem-solving essay; and experience factors, including students who are economically disadvantaged, English language learners, special education students, or students who are currently attending underrepresented middle schools.

https://www.fcps.edu/registration/thomas-jefferson-high-scho...

My interpretation is the test was removed, the test/application fee was removed, and essays and a portfolio were added. I can't find criteria for evaluating the essay or portfolio (or how much they contribute vs GPA), but those are parts of other standardized tests (SAT, etc), so it's not some crazy new idea.

Either way, the policy was race-blind, at least in language. And in practice the prior policy was resulting in massively disproportionate representation from some groups at the expense of others.

Maybe the new policy isn't ideal, but neither was the previous policy. Disallowing progress because it might hurt a group currently profiting off the status quo doesn't seem like an ideal solution either.

"Absent a major U.S. and European military deployment to Ukraine, which President Biden has already ruled out since Ukraine is not a member of NATO, Ukrainian forces cannot prevent a rapid deployment of Russian forces into Ukraine"

So far that statement is proving to be wrong. Perhaps they overestimated the effectiveness of the Russian military or underestimated the resolve of the Ukranian people.

Yes, but I can practice moving my eyebrows to achieve mastery, because I know how to move them at least a little bit. With my ears, I literally cannot - no matter how hard I think about it or how much I strain, they just won't move. So how can you practice something that you cannot do at all? Just "try harder"? I feel like that's like telling someone with no legs to practice walking.
They didn't convince themselves of anything of the sort. Those were just lies the Bush administration made up to convince the rest of the world.
Yes, there are neo-Nazis in the Ukrainian military. There's neo-Nazis in the American military too, and the German military despite their extensive anti-Nazi efforts, along with neo-Nazis in the Russian military such as the Wagner group. Turns out militaristic authoritarians are attracted to military service wherever they are. I'm not saying that neo-Nazis in the military aren't a problem, but it's a problem like covid in the military is: something that's nigh inevitable as long as it exists, and something to be stamped out when evidence of its existence is found, regardless of which military it's in.

I know what they are talking about.

A few years ago I tried using Hugo and it felt like the docs were made for people who already knew how it worked. After all, it's very hard to write docs from the eyes of someone who doesn't even know what the jargon is and why the various concepts exist. As a newcomer, you end up saying a lot of "okay, but what is a practical example of how this helps me?" as you scuttle through a bunch of browser tabs.

At least back when I tried it, Hugo could use a guide like https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html that builds up a website from the basics while incrementally using Hugo features to solve problems with a toy website like, say, e-shop product pages to show how things fit together.
He's isolated like he's receiving chemotherapy. A few years back he pointed out that many leaders appeared to be dying of cancer. Add the US mortality statement last week and it's clear to me he's got terminal cancer.
One good way to understand how something works is to write documentation for it. In this case it seems like the author has pretty strong opinions about how it should be done. It's a big job, of course, but perhaps similar in effort to writing a blog post?

I don't mean to be snarky! Just got the feeling that the current docs are written a bit as an afterthought and that the blogger, on the other hand, is a good writer. I wonder how useful this type of feedback is, and if the irritation over the docs could have been challenged into something more impactful.
> If you think Britain is a force for good than taking power away from it would be bad yes.

You're presenting a false choice there.

I'm more interesting in your perspective on this:

>>> ...and arguably got Britain into a war with Germany unnecessarily (remember that Hitler's ideology was heavily based on race and he saw the British as close to the Germans. He even intentionally let their army go at Dunkirk because of this.)

You seem to be implying that you think Britain should have let Hitler build his reich.
You are right, I think I do suffer from this. This Ask HN was posted to check a such a mitigation strategy.
Hi there, Filebase CEO here - thank you for the questions and very valuable feedback!

1. We've been building Filebase since 2018 and have been live in production since 2019. We are relatively well known in the Sia and decentralized storage ecosystem. IDC, 451, and GigaOm have all done reports on us.

2. We are targeting web2 and web3 developers. You can safely ignore all of the NFT and Web3 mentions. Most customers today use us as a S3 compatible storage service.

3. Storing data directly on Sia absolutely costs more than $2 per TB. Their website is unfortunately outdated and that same number has been listed for years. Sia is a decentralized storage marketplace - hosts set their own pricing and compete against each other. Filebase goes to this marketplace and acquires storage capacity.

4. The Sia network is one of the leading decentralized storage networks today and has been live since 2015. I can't speak for the entire network since it's decentralized, but for Filebase specifically, we have over 10,000 users and are about to approach 1 billion files processed.

5. A Filebase website re-design is coming soon and will include your suggested ideas of metrics and logos.

I think it's debatable; where the «experience» or delivery a game tries to reach, end? Where do we draw the line between considering it a modification of the "soul" of the game?

This is an important distinction because a game is much more rich and complex than a book, and has many more axes where things can change. I fathom that for some people the level of punishment is just too much, and maybe that flies in the face of how do they enjoy the game.

This is not to detract from the artistic vision of the creators, given art has a meaning imbued by its maker, and a meaning bestowed by its consumer, i think that having the /option/ to change something that a player can't enjoy is always a plus.

Not all ability or disability is on the body, as some may lie on the mind, whether it is because of a persistent problem, a bad time in your life, or just constraints.

Zelensky has broad cultural appeal in Ukraine (or you could frame it as "he's not polarizing and isn't hated by a large fraction of the country" which I think is the better way to look at it). How else would someone become president with such a limited political background? Killing him would be a textbook way to make a martyr.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the Russians to read the ideological room. The details of this operation seems predicated on Russian misunderstanding of who they were dealing with. An entire generation has grown up living with the background threat of Russian aggression and this point has really been driven home sine 2014. Expecting the people and leaders of Ukraine to not be mentally prepared for that comes across like the nation state version of the feds showing up on the doorstep of a bunch of apocalypse preaching crazies expecting an easy win and then being baffled that their victims prefer to die together.

Or something might happen and Ukraine might just roll over. Nobody knows yet. Time will tell.
Congratulations on the launch! It's great to see more innovation in this space.

I compared implementations of the benchmark which all run on the same LuaJIT VM. One implementation is just plain Lua using the loops and control flows provided by the language. Another implementation is written in SOM and transpiled to Lua; all SOM (i.e. Smalltalk) closures are faithfully translated to Lua closures (i.e. not using Lua loops and control flow). Yet another implementation does the same but directly LuaJIT bytecode is generated instead of Lua source code which enables some additional optimizations. The performance difference is very likely caused by the number of closures in use (it's a bit more complex than that, but the principle is the same).

I didn't compare with Strongtalk, but with Pharo 7 and 8, which use the Open Smalltalk VM (i.e. Cog/Spur) that is the result of a multi-decade performance optimization effort by Eliot Miranda and team. As you can see in my results Pharo shows essentially the same performance as the plain Lua version on LuaJIT (the tracing version 2.0 of it took "only" seven years to develop in comparison).

Also wrong. In the Bundeswehr soliders are allowed to disobey direct orders if it directly is in conflict with once conscience. See https://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/bundesverwaltungsgericht... (German)
I got the same feeling as well. Open formats and avoiding proprietary lock-in is what the spirit of "write in plain text" is about.

No its not, and not its not. Hugo it easy to install and/or build, I will give it that. But the documentation has always been poor in my mind, with gaping holes for common uses that are maybe outside of the opinionated "norms".
That could be part of the plan so. Worst case, Russia is creating a martyr. Hell, the more I think about it the less that invasion makes sense...
I think the post serves as general advice for writing documentation for a project. If the author had gone off and wrote docs for Hugo they 1. Might not have been accepted 2. Wouldn't contain info on why the docs are bad.

Aside from the general lack of quality documentation these days, the decline of technical writing as a profession has been a big loss.

They didn't just organize and write documentation. I recall doc interviews where tech writers would quiz me on how something worked, and on more than one occasion pointed out problems that sat at the intersection of functionality and UI that everyone else missed. And not my department, but I did get to see an amazing kerfluffle when an innocent question about an old feature everyone except the tech writers forgot about ended up derailing a release while people figured out how to reconcile things.

Completely aside from function, really good technical documentation is just a joy to read and use. It is sad that "we" produce far less of it than we used to.

Why isn't there a flat tax on all development (or the populace even) to cover this? like you said, it's "our past", why should only developers foot the bill?
Yes, and the portion of history I mentioned isn't shown in the official Bundeswehr museum nor is it considered part of their tradition. Maybe I worded it wrong, than.
That makes sense, although obviously the downside to a manual check-in/merge process is that it greatly slows down the editing flow.

Personally for the kinds of documents I work on, I'd rather risk losing my undo history than have to deal with manually merging changes from multiple users.

Plus, without real-time concurrent editing, the changes are much more likely to conflict.
