  • What is mac?

    What a poser. What self-respecting Emacs fanatic doesn't know about Project MAC?

  • TIL about exwm, seems fun!

    (I'm bitextual, I use both emacs and vim, though I'm more on the vim side of the scale)

  • I've been happy with awesomewm for years now. Maybe one day I'll enshrine my current config in dwm or something from scratch in Rust and XCB, but so far it has not been the time.

    As for terminal emulators, alacritty has been comfy for me. It's not the most minimalist thing out there but whatever promises it makes in relative complexity, it delivers in performance and features.

  • Maybe this place needs a sister community SNEARCULT.

  • Gave up on st in favour of alacritty after realizing I deserve nice things like clickable links and scrolling without maintaining a dependency hell of patches.

    I think they toned down the nazi shit around the time when my tolerance for that brand of edginess began to dip towards the crust punk bartender's level, so I've given them a huge benefit of doubt.

    I somehow didn't remember them doing a mock Charlottesville, though. I'm disappointed but at this point not too surprised.

    Thankfully my desire for a community of software minimalist C curmudgeons and Unix nerds is adequately fulfilled by friends IRL whom I know for sure not to be fascist assholes.

  • Too bad E and A should be next to each other too

  • The linked post exemplifies the virtue of hazukashii, truly itai school hakushin-class yabai-style writing. In Japan they don't say "Rationalism" they say "クリンジ" and I think that's beautiful.

  • Kudos for the effortpost. My 5-second simpleton objection went something like

    YEA BECAUSE WEBCAMS COME WITH DENSITY SENSORS INCLUDED RIGHT?

  • The word "Einstein" appears no less than eight times in this story.

    Bringing up Hendrix every ten sentences doesn't make you an amazing guitarist either.

    I thought the video was a bit tame, personally. I'd prefer some footage of a Nazi being raped. The world doesn't have enough good-guy-on-Nazi rape, for my liking.

    Surely a genuine leftist who just happened to create a HN account today.

  • Damn, currently most of the comments are actually fine with it and the concerned moralists are downvoted. The Github issue got an interesting response too.

  • The market can remain irrational for longer than you and I can remain solvent sane.

  • Heading towards a very enjoyable and economically sustainable future where the advertising industry is somehow bigger than the goods and services industries that supposedly need its services. But before I get into that, speaking of goods and services, this comment is sponsored by OpeRaid Shadow VPN, the only energy drink/razor blade delivery service for Pro Gamers…

  • Yes! The thing I love most about browsing without adblock is seeing endless ads for tech conferences about programming languages I don't know, on platforms I don't use, held on continents where I don't live. I especially love the culty business lingo they use for pitching these conferences at me. No I'm not "obsessed" with anything my job involves and I'm frankly worried for anyone who is.

  • Sites you visit can ask Chrome for your interests to show you ads.

    Nifty. Let's ask what my browser has to offer instead (Firefox + uBlock Origin).

    Sites can not show you ads.

    Hmm that's a tough choice hmm.

  • I think Sneer Club understands the Less Wrong worldview well enough. They just happen to reject it.

    Wow, someone gets it.

  • Have some strawberry jam. Yes, it's strawberry. I have this self-signed SSL certificate that proves it is. I can get my buddies to cross-sign it too if you want. Your taste buds must be wrong.

  • A lot of things in programming are in fact evidence of natural selection rather than intelligent design.
