Do you have an app for that?

It would make sense with those Soviet homebrew OSs, like iS-DOS, that rendered 64 characters per line on the Speccy's 256x192 screen, and featured a file commander and a full software package.

I’ve started Pirsig a couple of times it just doesn’t click. Could you elaborate a bit?
Re:Ask HN: Any interesting books you have read lately? on Thursday August 17, 2023 @02:09AM (#37157850)
Thanks. I opened this thread to see this.
I use Iosevka for everything. Glad it gets some recognition.

Did anyone use it with Rails and Hotwire?

What is Marginalia? Feels like a links database.

Could anybody explain it to me? I read it many times but every time it seems to have a different meaning.
Re:Tips for a Better Life on Wednesday December 23, 2020 @10:58PM (#25524917)
I don’t get #65, why it is in the future tense? And what does it even mean?

65. You will prevent yourself from even having thoughts that could lower your status. Avoid blocking yourself off just so people keep thinking you’re cool.

This is great. I always wanted to make an extension that would put the “Update Branch” button to trigger CI without enabling branch protection.

Hope they'll make it, always liked voxels.

Thought there will be a link to the actual book or something, so we could compare their approach with the modern view.
I will never buy a notebook with touch bar and regretting getting this one. As a vim user I would vote for Esc any day. Same issue on the iPad keyboard cover.

It would be much nicer if they didn't put photos of Moscow to illustrate China.
Re:Jaconda – Integrate your Telegram with services on Wednesday February 04, 2015 @09:29PM (#9001426)
Jaconda for Telegram works in a different way compared to XMPP Jaconda.im, it is possible to stitch them together but it's a bit too early at the moment.
Re:Jaconda – Integrate your Telegram with services on Wednesday February 04, 2015 @09:26PM (#9001420)
This is my personal opinion I've gathered from experience. I still have some friends using XMPP from Gtalk times. I have 0 new XMPP contacts for years since the fall of Gtalk. One might argue that it is still going strong, but I don't see anything proving that point. And the most authoritative indicator for ourselves is the amount of companies signed up for Jaconda. Guess having to add DNS records so XMPP is working on your domain is not helping either.
Re:Jaconda – Integrate your Telegram with services on Wednesday February 04, 2015 @10:39AM (#8997399)
That is exactly how jaconda.im is working now, everybody in the room can send emails into the room.
Re:Jaconda – Integrate your Telegram with services on Wednesday February 04, 2015 @10:25AM (#8997286)
We are using it ourselves as both XMPP and Telegram messenger. But the truth is, we are not planning to develop a stand-alone messenger. XMPP messengers are slowly sinking and Telegram looks like a nicer alternative. Especially considering Telegram's team showing interest in our project.
Re:Jaconda – Integrate your Telegram with services on Wednesday February 04, 2015 @10:09AM (#8997155)
Jaconda.im started as XMPP-based messenger hence the name – Jabber Conference derivative. And it does work with XMPP. Nothing changed in this regard.

However after Google Talk was replaced with proprietary Hangouts protocol we had to look for other options.

Telegram fits our concept just right. Let's see what other people think. You are welcome to participate.

I don't live in US, and here the service provider told me I would have pay.
Re:Everything just doesn't work and nobody cares on Sunday February 10, 2013 @12:45PM (#5197089)
Yes I mean Digital Color Meter. You're right, I was unable to find this option. But since then I moved to a better solution anyway.
Re:Everything just doesn't work and nobody cares on Sunday February 10, 2013 @12:42PM (#5197083)
But it has a smaller screen, so I am not bothering.
Re:Everything just doesn't work and nobody cares on Sunday February 10, 2013 @12:41PM (#5197079)
Everything else is even worse.
Re:Everything just doesn't work and nobody cares on Sunday February 10, 2013 @12:40PM (#5197076)
Interesting to mention that I don't have this problem. Chrome displays a listing of the root folder on my hard drive and Safari opens Finder.
Re:Everything just doesn't work and nobody cares on Sunday February 10, 2013 @12:38PM (#5197070)
Everything except Chrome works. I think it is also related to CloudFlare, but I am not alone in this world of pain: http://google.com/search?q=chrome+error+324

I know about the Radar, yes you can submit, but then what do you see? http://d.pr/i/8bto 0 problems! Great. I am talking about an Open bug tracker, not this.
