Things that made me do a double-take this morning: A mention on HN of my hometown of Bolton and Ye Olde Man and Scythe!


Same!



mgmt looks really promising, and I want to try it out, but if their FAQ is up to date, then this is concerning:

"Auth hasn't been implemented yet, so you should only use it in trusted environments (not on publicly accessible networks) for now."

https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/blob/master/docs/faq.md#i...

Kind of a non-starter for my use case. I hope they get to a 1.0 release soon.


Yeah, it was discussed separately a couple of times (https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=github.com/purpleidea) and is just packed full of "this is definitely for a specialized audience" sharp edges


Your comment was exactly what I had in mind when I posted this story - especially the bit about Enlightenment!


I somehow feel tiling WMs occupy the same mindspace these days.


old open source hippies unite! Thank you for posting this, you really made my day :D


I sold a .com back in 2008 via Sedo - it was very straightforward. The buyer initiated it, I think all I had to create an account and populate it with a few details and they (Sedo's service) took care of everything else.


> One disadvantage of k3s, is that it does not have HA control plane out of box

This hasn't been true for a while, since these days K3s ships with etcd embedded: https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/installation/ha-embed...


Thanks for the info. I haven't been following k3s development after I decided to switch to kubespray. Glad that this concern has been addressed. Nice work!


The display specifications are shown here: https://frame.work/laptop

13.5” 3:2 2256x1504, 100% sRGB color gamut, and >400 nit


It is also IPS.

From NotebookCheck: «13.50 inch 3:2, 2256 x 1504 pixel 201 PPI, BOE CQ NE135FBM-N41, IPS, BOE095F, glossy: yes, 60 Hz»; «Framework uses the exact same ... as found on the Acer Swift 3 SF313. ... wide color coverage and relatively high contrast ratio. Response times are slow».

The issue is: being this "option" (without a clear alternative?) glossy instead of matte, the display also will require being a module as part of the modular framework.


"(1) poor availability of Quake-style dropdown terminals on macOS and Windows"

This is a feature available in both iTerm [1] as well as Windows Terminal [2].

[1] https://blog.mestwin.net/drop-down-terminal-in-macos-with-it... [2] https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-terminal-...


iTerm2's implementation was basically unusable the last time I tried it, for details I can't remember well. One issue was that if you have iTerm swap the command key and option keys for in-terminal keybinds, it modifies them altogether when you're using the app, breaking command-tabbing out of the app, among other keybinds. (Having it swap these was something I did because it was necessary to get some combined modifier keystrokes to go through correctly, perhaps on pain of reconfiguring each of its escape codes to match xterm individually. I can't quite recall.) To get the behavior I wanted I ended up having to bypass iTerm's drop-down behavior in favor of some Hammerspoon automation. I put up with all of this because all other terminal emulators available on macOS were abominably slow, to the point that tailing a log in any tmux window makes the entire pane lag enough to make typing suck. (And the only way to get acceptable performance in iTerm2 was by enabling hardware acceleration.)

I'm glad that Windows Terminal added that feature this year. It's better than most terminal emulators on Windows in most other ways, too. I'll try it the next time I'm on Windows.


"When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.

[..]

Syntax highlighting is juvenile. When I was a child, I was taught arithmetic using colored rods. I grew up and today I use monochromatic numerals." - Rob Pike


A great example of how very smart capable people can express silly ideas wherein they justify personal preference with bad logic.

https://ppig.org/papers/2015-ppig-26th-dimitri/

Code isn't arithmetic nor prose and the majority usage of highlighting is because people intuitively grasp that life is easier with highlighting.

It is perfectly ok to have different preferences but one must be careful not to elevate a preference to a law built upon sand not bedrock.


I hypothesised that syntax highlighting just had to provide some tangible benefits just because of how it allows the brain to process lots of information with a quick glance. After having witnessed a few geniuses work and swear by no syntax highlighting, I started to doubt my thesis, so thank you for linking the paper.

Maybe some people just perceive the syntax highlighting as cognitive overload although it's meant to achieve the exact opposite.


Maybe They want to try fixing syntax errors to old school way printed out fanfold paper and highlighter pens.

narrator voice : They do not want to do that.


Great Scott!


Don't do this. Disabling swap is bad idea: https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html


In practice the benefits of swap mentioned in that article almost never happen on desktop use. I used to use swap on my last install and it was pretty much never used. I don't bother with swap anymore. Server may be different game though.


Not really. While there are still problems without swap, all swap does is move that problem further away while slowing down some things in the meantime.
