funny how that made the phone more expensive
First they say healthcare is expensive because of the research costs involved, why does healthcare research also require govt funding too?

You're right, censorship is same as lack of censorship.
Re:Ask HN: Why aren't you solving real problems? on Thursday September 26, 2024 @11:53AM (#41659882)
real problems require people to change habits and thinking. Neither of these are tech solvable.
yes, people are stealing because of cut staff at checkout machines.

Paul Otellini and Brian Krzanich (both from sales background) have made such strategic mistakes its hard to overstate, combined with the govt office work culture makes it not a great place to work
For better.
Re:Julia Evans' Git Cheat Sheet [pdf] on Sunday May 26, 2024 @11:27PM (#40487328)
Read once here, the best cheat sheet is one you create yourself. In my case, with fish shell or bash history search with fzf, I've effectively created a cheat sheet of commands I frequently tend to use with working examples. Seems to be working for me so far.
No, it shouldn't.
Re:Zellij: A terminal workspace with batteries included on Saturday May 25, 2024 @09:49PM (#40479224)
Most of the problems with zellij people have initially can be fixed if they write the config file from bottom up..just comment everything out and you'll get to your desired config in 15 minutes.

Use the 'clear-defaults=true' option for each mode and build the config.

E.g.resize mode for me looks like this

  resize clear-defaults=true {
        bind "Esc" { SwitchToMode "Normal"; }
        bind "h" { Resize "Increase Left"; }
        bind "j" { Resize "Increase Down"; }
        bind "k" { Resize "Increase Up"; }
        bind "l" { Resize "Increase Right"; }
    }

Normal mode:

  normal clear-defaults=true {

        // Quit/detach
        bind "Alt x" { Quit; }
        bind "Alt d" { Detach; }

        // Switch modes
        bind "Alt p" { SwitchToMode "pane"; }
        bind "Alt r" { SwitchToMode "resize"; }
        bind "Alt t" { SwitchToMode "tab"; }
        bind "Alt s" { SwitchToMode "scroll"; }
        bind "Alt m" { SwitchToMode "move"; }

        // new pane or resize pane
        bind "Alt n" { NewPane; }
        bind "Alt >" { Resize "Increase"; }
        bind "Alt <" { Resize "Decrease"; }

        // move between panes (moves tabs if at the last pane)
        bind "Alt h" { MoveFocusOrTab "Left"; }
        bind "Alt j" { MoveFocus "Down"; }
        bind "Alt k" { MoveFocus "Up"; }
        bind "Alt l" { MoveFocusOrTab "Right"; }

        // swap layouts
        bind "Alt {" { PreviousSwapLayout; }
        bind "Alt }" { NextSwapLayout; }

        bind "Alt 1" { GoToTab 1; }
        bind "Alt 2" { GoToTab 2; }
        bind "Alt 3" { GoToTab 3; }
        bind "Alt 4" { GoToTab 4; }
        bind "Alt 5" { GoToTab 5; }
    }
Re:Tmux is worse-is-better on Saturday May 25, 2024 @09:47PM (#40479217)
Zellij is an order of magnitude better than tmux. Main issue with tmux was that it always messed up my TERM.
wezterm + ssh + zellij on remote machine has been working like a charm for me.
Re:30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok on Tuesday April 30, 2024 @01:27AM (#40207525)
The question was, in all earnestness, do you really believe children reading books has the same detrimental effect on a child's development as social media and phones do?
Re:30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok on Monday April 29, 2024 @03:28PM (#40202898)
In all earnestness, do you think reading books has the same effect as doom scrolling on tiktok?
Re:30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok on Monday April 29, 2024 @03:25PM (#40202856)
just maybe 5-6 years ago, attempts to regulate the time spent online by ones kids was met (on forums like *eddit and hackernews) with a sarcasm filled 'WiLl nO oNe tHinK oF tHe Kids' mockery and then pointing to the advent of books/newspapers/ipods etc having similar effects on society. Lol, techies are probably worse than the average person when it comes to figuring out how a society should function

Good to see this article flagged. Next time I see someone getting beat up, will make sure to remind him NPR says he should change his beliefs.

Re:SEC has not approved Bitcoin ETFs [fixed] on Tuesday January 09, 2024 @06:19PM (#38933755)
it wasn't hacked I think, more like another blue check account impersonating it tweeted that out. This is the official account @SECGov tweeting out fake news.
Yes it's quite worrisome indeed. highest state tax, most mismanaged budget, welfare black hole, high living expenses aren't enough to remind an average californian how futile their existence is. More property taxes will build some character.
Re:Effective Neovim: An Instant IDE [video] on Sunday November 05, 2023 @01:11PM (#38153783)
LazyVim the distro is different from lazy.nvim the package manager. Both are written by folke and are excellent. Not sure why parent comment says these are extra layers of complexity. LazyVim is written in a way you can selectively disable or enable the plug-ins it uses. I can't imagine why 80% of these plug-ins would ever make their way into neovim core.
People are making a choice for their kids, whether they want the after effects of religious or public school 'brainwashing'. For many, its a clear cut choice, one way or the other.
Will you continue voting blue after your move and bring back same policies?
There's a small chance of that if the audio is of the perp, the audio is of the Vice President, who isn't the perp, and 8 months after the incident.
Calling someone else a dickhead for your mental issues ironically makes you a dickhead.
Why are they dickheads?
