The hyphen is as wide as the em dash (it's one pixel higher than the em-dash—the only visible difference to my eyes). And the $ symbol doesn't have a line that goes through all the way through. It doesn't work for me for daily use, but looks quite clean and nice overall.

I'm at 87%. How would you classify Turquoise (`#40e0d0`) and Dark Turqoise (`#00CED1`)?

"Your boundary is at hue 181, bluer than 87% of the population.

For you, turquoise is green."

Took it 3 times (90%, 85%, 87%). At least, I now know why sometimes I'm surprised that people call green things blue :)

To be honest, there should have been a "neither" category, because that was frustrating to classify a color that is clearly neither. But I understand the need for a binary choice for this experiment.

Turquoise `#40E0D0 ` feels green to me, while Dark Turquoise `#00CED1` , I can agree to consider as blue.

The Goldtouch split keyboards worked wonders for me.

I have "Shift space" remapped to underscore as that was my biggest annoyance. The rest I've made peace with (though not ergonomic).
Re:New accounts on HN 10x more likely to use EM-dashes on Thursday February 26, 2026 @10:54PM (#47176296)
It's Option Shift "-" for the em-dash. Option "-" is the en-dash.
Fun comments for re-writing sudo in Zig:

> Zig doesn't have traits. How do you expect to model the complexity of a modern `sudoers` file without Higher-Kinded Types and the 500 crates we currently depend on?

> Also, `unsafe` in Rust is better than "trust me bro" in Zig. If you switch, the borrow checker gods will be angry.

This got me a chuckle.

Re:Retiring Test-Ipv6.com on Sunday October 05, 2025 @01:56PM (#45483701)
I had these same concerns for a while. Earlier this year, I turned on IPv6 and run a dual stack on my home network (my mac is browsing HN via IPv6.)

Do you remember what sites didn't load for you?

Re:Tmux 2.0 released on Thursday May 07, 2015 @03:08PM (#9507489)
I run `stty -ixon -ixoff` once and that fixes the issue for me.
Some thoughts: VMs are an interesting case. Someone with the motive and means would have exploits to get out of the VM. This is probably easier if the guest is running something to accelerate (e.g. VMWare Tools / VirtualBox Guest Additions.) Once you get out, you have to account for the host OS. Assuming you could do it, how does one determine if the VM is part of a honeypot or the target?
Re:The Heartbleed Bug on Tuesday April 08, 2014 @02:10AM (#7551668)
Well, I was interested in actually testing it out in code. I got it working with the pyOpenSSL bindings (I had to expose struct ssl_method_st, SSL_get_ssl_method, ssl_write_bytes and rebuild cryptography for pyOpenSSL.) Fun times.
Re:The Heartbleed Bug on Monday April 07, 2014 @11:27PM (#7551282)
Would love to see the code and test it against a rebuilt a patched nginx.
Re:Workflow in tmux on Saturday April 13, 2013 @02:25AM (#5542752)
I know what you mean. I translated that to a python script a while ago for myself so I could stick it on other boxes without having to compile it. It's now a gist – https://gist.github.com/chirayuk/5377283
Re:Workflow in tmux on Saturday April 13, 2013 @02:20AM (#5542744)
I believe tmux 1.8 supports this use case.

From the manpage (for new-session):  If -t is given, the new session is grouped with target-session.  This means they share the same set of windows - all windows from target-session are linked to the new session and any subsequent new windows or windows being closed are applied to both sessions.  The current and previous window and any session options remain independent and either session may be killed without affecting the other.

For TOTP, you can have the same account on more than one device (I do for convenience). All you need is the initial seed which you can either enter manually, or scan the barcode using more than one device.
Re:Amazon Has Drastically Changed the Way I Read on Friday December 30, 2011 @08:22PM (#3409789)
Agreed. I might have considered putting up with that if the e-books were significantly cheaper. Then, I would just buy copies for family/friends. But this isn't the case and it's just simpler to read a book and give/mail it to family/friends.
That hasn't been the case for a few years now.

SpiderOak? https://spideroak.com/

If TarSnap had iPhone, etc. versions, I would use it for everything. (the permission specific keys are just awesome.)
