I use ratpoison tiling wm with custom bindings, it's kind of tmux or screen for Xorg where you stack apps for example firefox, vim, ssh, tmux/screen, terms. Anyway, it's up to you how you search ctags, man, grep, web, etc

This setup is agile but still not as fast as lsp or copilot, but I prefer learning and remembering over speed, personal taste :-)

Perl6 is factually wrong name, it's absolutely new language and as such deserves different name

Re:Some notes about HTTP/3 on Saturday November 24, 2018 @08:37AM (#18521927)
Smart decision, because QUIC as transport layer could be good for other protocols built on top of it.

But hey who knows, SCTP never took of but we are talking about google here

Aha, thanks for clearing that up

> Their second upgrade they called QUIC (pronounced "quick"), which is being standardized as HTTP/3.

Isn't QUIC new transport layer protocol based on UDP and, if I remember correctly, HTTP/3 will be HTTP bindings for QUIC?

You might think this is nitpicking, but HTTP is application layer protocol, so it's little bit confusing to me.

Re:Ask HN: Best Command-Line Applications? on Wednesday November 21, 2018 @02:21PM (#18505243)
Doesn't matter because every re-implementation of that old unix tool is made for same purpose and mostly accept same arguments.

For example you can make tar archive and pipe it to nc. On other server nc would accept data and pipe it to tar for unpack. This shows real power of unix pipes.

Stupid question. How do you solve (de)fragmentation and out of order delivery with unreliable protocol? What are cases and is it possible to make it simple?

Yes, on servers ;-) EDIT: used and developed by end users made from blood and flesh. On the other hand minix is used and worked on by corporation. So I guess it depends how you look at things

Re:What Everybody Gets Wrong About Jekyll and Hyde (2012) on Monday October 23, 2017 @08:16AM (#15532561)
I didn't say that book is based on Jung, just that Hyde is maybe personification of Shadow archetype. What's your opinion, could that be true?
Re:What Everybody Gets Wrong About Jekyll and Hyde (2012) on Monday October 23, 2017 @07:36AM (#15532366)
Isn't Hyde actually Shadow archetype from Jungian psychology?
Re:Krita Foundation in Trouble on Tuesday August 01, 2017 @07:35AM (#14899616)
Hey, kudos on great product! You really should create donation page for new features once a year or something like that, because Krita has value.

Also, ignore critique, most of them never dealt with bureaucracy in EU and native countries. Such a mess.

Tesla worked for Edison and was a person who could finish things and some of them changed the world. He was also person with vision, so I think Linus is either wrong or he is trying to put emphasis only on hard work. What if you have person like Tesla with both qualities?
Very interesting
Re:What does it take to be a good programmer? on Tuesday January 24, 2017 @05:58AM (#13470386)
I always thought programming is kind of literature, because you write in language for machines and humans at the same time ie. mix of logic and inspiration.

Re:Single address spaces: design flaw or feature? on Sunday February 28, 2016 @08:47AM (#11190894)
> To reduce the performance impact of syscalls without modifying application software, exceptionless/asynchronous syscalls have been demonstrated. With the regular syscall interface, the userspace process requests a syscall by executing a special software interrupt instruction to cause a context switch to the kernel. The arguments for the syscall are put in the general-purpose registers. The exceptionless syscall model requires small modifications to the libc and the kernel: when a syscall is requested from the application program, the libc places the syscall’s arguments in a special page of memory (“syscall page”) and switches to another user-level thread.

It would be great to have standard API for this, let's say fake mux syscall that would queue other syscalls and trigger them all at once after some period of time.

Re:Libertarian communism on Thursday October 08, 2015 @09:34AM (#10352619)
When I said hatred I meant 'Kill black people, jews, ...' directly in their ideology. So, can you guess what would happen if they won? Half world extinguished in few decades.
Re:Libertarian communism on Thursday October 08, 2015 @07:40AM (#10352032)
Well I guess because communism, unlike nazism, doesn't have hatred hardcoded in ideology.

On the other hand there is difference between theory and practice, you can have any ideological system, but if you depend on totalitarian dictator everything can fall apart - You depend on mood of that person/party.

Just guessing ;-)
