Another Kentuckian in tech here. Thanks for the list. A friend recently attended https://13layers.com/event/lextalktechjan24/ and said it was a good mix of talks. I think they're quarterly and it's on my list to follow up.
I also lurk on these slacks: bluegrass-dev.slack (same folks as the meetup I assume), Louisville Tech louisville.slack, and startuplexington.slack
Hope we keep this ball rolling a bit longer on meetups and gatherings both in person and online.
Deadlines stress me out and I dread impending failures, and I have a very broad definition of failure. I would definitely feel harried. Am I being limited by worries? Are you having some misses in targets here and there but you're trucking right along, or are you really good at meeting what sounds like many many targets?
I miss many targets and it's amazing how little it matters. The key is creating space to be truly passionate about something, that ends up protecting you and sustaining you
More than enough to control window focus on my computer and such. I'd be happy to have a system that responded to a few hundred thoughts: "Left desktop", "Right desktop", "Last focused window", "Lock screen", "What time is it?"
I like this browser and usually have it set as my default on my phone. I like that I can set links to open in private mode by default quite a bit.
My wishlist: 1. collections syncing to my Firefox account and desktop Firefox 2. a menu option to move a page from private mode to normal mode where I'm logged into things; right now I copy/paste the url 3. (sadly) an easy way to open the current page in Chrome.
The biggest issue I've run into is some app sign-in flows that roll through the browser or webview break when using Firefox private by default. I switch Chrome to the default temporarily to work around this.
Not the OP, but I wouldn't be comfortable answering that question. The problem is that each of my media sources have a long list of problems. Those may cancel out between the sources or just need some care for interpreting the contents, but passing a list of sources would be useless and potentially harmful.
I have only the vague understanding that there are governance structures in place for open source projects. Can you go into a little detail about what aspects of this project's governance impress you?
aturon's response below (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9046882) outlines most of what I would say - really its the RFC process that I'm most interested with and how that is managed in an open way. There are always pet ideas and desires that complicate processes like this - the volume of RFC's the project has dealt with is impressive with no major community rifts that I have heard of.
My first computer was a display model Tandy 1000 HX. I was young and didn't know much about the internal bits, but I did know rapidly turning it off and on made a lot of neat things show on the screen. Whoops.
Mosh and screen/tmux serve different roles. Mosh keeps your connection and reconnects across all sorts of events that would break your ssh connection. (laptop sleeps, different networks). Then screen/tmux manages the sessions on the other side of that connection.
Maybe I don't understand everything screen can do, which is very possible.
I've been nearsighted for a long time and wear glasses. Recently I developed presbyopia, and now cellphone screens look blurry unless I remove my glasses. Most of the time my vision with glasses is fine, until I want to look at my phone. A screen that looked sharp to my ancient eyes with my glasses would be wonderful. First world solutions!
Does anyone know what these searches do? Does a filter limit the search to known domains, or silently add keywords that identify a site as a blog or a video?
