Re:You Don't Need a Terminal Multiplexer on Your Desktop on Wednesday February 12, 2025 @03:43PM (#43029585)
This tmux config turns F12 into a button to toggle the local leader key. You remote into tmux and hit F12, and now your leader key gets sent to the remote tmux instead of the local.

I don't use tmux locally anymore; but I still use the same leader key as tmux in wezterm, and I have a wezterm script to toggle it with F12 just like tmux.

Maybe you'll like it too?

  bind -T root F12  \
    set prefix None \;\
    set key-table off \;\
    set status-style "fg=$color_status_text,bg=$color_window_off_status_bg" \;\
    set window-status-current-style "fg=$color_dark,bold,bg=$color_window_off_status_current_bg" \;\
    if -F '#{pane_in_mode}' 'send-keys -X cancel' \;\
    refresh-client -S \;\

  bind -T off F12 \
    set -u prefix \;\
    set -u key-table \;\
    set -u status-style \;\
    set -u window-status-current-style \;\
    set -u window-status-current-format \;\
    refresh-client -S

Check out https://typst.app/ if you're looking to write a book yourself.

https://hypermedia.systems/ was written with it.

Browsing this website gives me the urge to poop for some reason.
All You Need Is Kill is a great read. The movie, Edge Of Tomorrow, was based on this book.
Re:Ask HN: Which Linux distribution do you use, and why? on Friday February 09, 2018 @12:19PM (#16341979)
You should give cinnamon a try. I think you would prefer it over gnome.
check out chromebrew https://skycocker.github.io/chromebrew/ It's a package manager for chrome os (requires dev mode). It's intel cpu only though; but it has a lot of the dev packages you need.

Since debugging is over a TCP connection, you only have to start the nodejs process with the debug flag, and then plug the address and port into whatever debugger you're trying to use.

Also, visual studio community edition is free[1] can debug nodejs with an extension[2]. And the capability is integrated into VS Code[3] which works cross-platform.

Those and webstorm/intellij are the ones I have experience with. But most of the time, I just use the CLI debugger -- it's not hard.

Re:Show HN: Yoleo – A Beautiful RSS Reader on Wednesday June 05, 2013 @06:13PM (#5829019)
yikes. It was a browser extension that uses superfish to inject ads. the extension allows you to disable this feature, but it still pulls in superfish. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/orbvious-interest/...

I removed the extension and the payload is more like 1MB. Still seems hefty but not as much of a concern to me.

I also noticed that content wasn't gzipped. should be a simple matter to add that to nginx.

Re:Show HN: Yoleo – A Beautiful RSS Reader on Wednesday June 05, 2013 @05:05PM (#5828605)
Jamie, I am getting about 10 errors a second in my console:

  Uncaught TypeError: Object sufio._xdWatchInFlight(); has no method 'apply' reader-29b4dd587f1ca6b5f0d639aac64ce9bf.js:1 e.(anonymous function) reader-29b4dd587f1ca6b5f0d639aac64ce9bf.js:1
Pretty print the error location from chrome:

  e.setInterval = function() {
        var e = t.call(arguments, 0), n = e[0];
        return e[0] = function() {
            try {
                n.apply(this, arguments)
  Uncaught TypeError: Object sufio._xdWatchInFlight(); has no method 'apply' (repeated 1589 times)
            } catch (e) {
                throw TraceKit.report(e), e
            }
        }, r.apply(this, e)
    }
The proxy at my work doesn't allow web sockets, and I think this might be related.

Also, I noticed that there are at least 3 different third party services being called (superfish, pusherapp and intercom). All of these are ancillary to the main functionality, right?

I haven't even got my feeds imported yet, and the app is already pulling down 2 MB. superfish in particular is super heavy. I think I would prefer a lighter payload.

the credit card information is transmitted to stripe over SSL. It looks fine.
Re:Show HN: Yoleo – A Beautiful RSS Reader on Wednesday June 05, 2013 @04:16PM (#5828280)
I checked and the strip communication is done ajax style through https. I don't see a problem.

Re:Will Go be the new go-to programming language? on Friday September 14, 2012 @02:46AM (#4520412)
I'm pretty sure i/o bound go routines will use the very same kernel eventing mechanism. I looked into this recently, and you have to explicitly tell it to use more than one thread with http://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#GOMAXPROCS

Can someone explain what is great about flipboard. The flip animation is cool the first couple of times you see it; but then it gets annoying quickly. I can't see any value in the app that would make putting up with the excessive animations worth it.
Re:What's That Programming Language? on Sunday May 13, 2012 @03:52PM (#3968063)
Score: 75/75 (100.00%)

Looking at the source in a programming challenge is still winning, right?

My wife was in the same position. She found some work pretty quickly networking at startup meetups. She ended overseeing a technical project, and doing some lite database work. She had a few opportunities; but picked the one that had the fewest hours.

If she has some skills, or can even pretend to have them, there are people that are desperate to give work to other people they meet at meetups.

this looks pretty cool. use it to install python and/or ruby: http://botbrew.inportb.com/

Experience with automated (build driven) testing tools a plus. Tools we're using currently include: nodejs, jasmine, and psake. but we expect the candidate to provide guidance, and take charge of making the application testable and tested.

We offer competitive pay and flexible hours.
