Stop and identify yourself, apparently.

The 1st column is the lines unique to the 1st file, the 2nd column is the lines unique to the 2nd file, and the 3rd one is the lines that are not unique. -1, -2, -3 allow to disable those columns. Pretty easy to remember.

Ah, HN downvoting neutral comments again and I don't like it, but I have a policy of not upvoting anything out of pity.

I like how this article's title doesn't claim that it's about utils "that you don't know". Yet I was expecting utils that have something to do with the Linux kernel, not generic *nix command-line tools.

> I Lost Everything

I doubt that a person who can post about it on the internet did actually lose everything. Most likely he leads quite a luxurious life: he is a wealthy (compared to other parts of the world) American, most likely wrote his story from his MacBook and has a place to live. A lot of people can only dream about a life like his. His expectations is what makes him believe that he "lost everything".

P.S. Clicked on the link after writing this post. Yeah, the guy actually wrote it from his MacBook.

And it's only one exchange out of many.

Bitcoin never promised anonymity. Bitcoin transactions are not anonymous and never were.

> No one questioned authenticity or whether it was actually a possible thing to make.

Why didn't you call them out on their bullshit?

> Human judges give ugly people twice the sentences of attractive people. Judges have been shown to give significantly harsher sentences just before lunch, when they are hungry.

It would be nice if you could provide sources for these claims.

One way to access the article without getting blocked by their adblock blocker is to wait for the page to load, press <F12>, go to the debugger (in Chromium, it's the tab called "Sources") and stop JavaScript (a pause button). Then you can scroll down safely and read it.

So, how much megabytes (compressed) does it take to store all of your corpora?

> How do you boil a frog? You turn the heat up slowly.

Obligatory reminder that you won't be able to boil a frog by slowly turning the heat up, it would jump out. It would be nice if people stopped using this common misconception as a metaphor.

It was my first thought and after I checked the comments it seems like a general consensus of HN that the best way to turn them off is to switch to some other OS.

> (also, this appears to be a particularly difficult culture to immerse oneself in, as by the definition presented in this article, having deep social interactions with a Hikikomori makes him/her less of a Hikikomori)

Anonymous communication doesn't count as "social interactions". Imageboards are where the hikikomori culture thrives. I doubt many would remain hikkis if they were deprived of internet access.

And, as far as I understand, it's a story about suicide.

"GoMix" would be read as "gomik-s" in Russian.

"Gomik" means literally "faggot", the plural is "gomiki".

The suffix "-s" was being used in pre-revolutionary Russia as a way to make your speech sound more polite. Etymologically, "-s" is short for "sir". Nowadays, "-s" is used (very rarely) to imitate speech of somebody from those times, mostly for its humorous effect.

Given the above, "GoMix" sounds very ridiculous in Russian, something like "faggot, sir".

What email provider do you use?

Have you tried it?

> Not only is Google Search is unparalleled

For me DuckDuckGo works pretty well. If I can't find something there, I always try to use Google, to no avail. It proves that DDG is as good as Google at least for my searches.

> one can still use Google Search completely anonymously

If you try to use it via Tor, you'll have to solve CAPTCHAs, not for every search, but still pretty often. It's annoying and not very anonymous-friendly. Sure, you can use Google Search anonymously, but Google does enough to discourage you doing it.

I always wondered whether the language had or had not been named because of that show about colorful, pastel-, candy-colored equines, of which I'm totally not a fan of.

> It's different from rebasing to squash many commits into one.

What is different?

My point is, if you don't write meaningful commit messages for some commits, you probably don't need any commit messages for those commits at all. It reduces noise for people who read your `git log`. If you make a commit and then immediately revert it, instead of "foo", it's better to write at least "tried ...; didn't work".

How is "Revert foo" different from "Revert 52e8ace0571ec9ac9b669bc5acfd0bcea537805d"?

> Nowhere does the author say that commit messages are meaningless

He doesn't. I say it. His commit messages are meaningless. To understand what's going on, you need to read his diffs, not commit messages. In his workflow, only reverts and merges provide any context, and for them git creates meaningful commit messages automatically.

If your commit messages are meaningless, why not make them empty? Like this: `git commit -m "" --allow-empty-message`.

> Electron is problematic and you can always tell an Electron app when you see it because the performance is so terrible.

Have you tried the open-source Brave browser?

https://brave.com/

Its GUI is created with Muon (which is a fork of Electron). The browser doesn't seem very slow, at least to me.

Also, Firefox have used XUL for a long time to create its interface. XUL is not much different from what Electron is: XML-like markup to design your interface and JS to manipulate it.

In zsh it's just `ssh a@a "rm -- ${(q)A}"`.

Books are just one form of text. There are plenty of others. Everybody who knows how to read books also knows how to write at least something.

It's not true for software. There are plenty of people who can use some applications, but can't write any application, even as simple as a helloworld.

> boiling frog like

Just want to mention that the anecdote about a frog slowly being boiled alive has no foundation in reality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog.
