Believe it or not, ignorance is not the main reason people don't use emacs

The main reason is that Vim is better, right?

This is so cool. Seeing the word splitbrain definitely gave me a moment of dreaded recollection though, not gonna lie. Not a fun place to be when you're dealing with databases and clusters.

The mention of “white, heteronormative, cisgender” at the end seems so shoehorned in that you’d think the author had a gun to their head to include it.

Edit: I say this because pretending it’s the “white, heteronormative, cisgender” crowd in the Bay Area oppressing everyone unlike them in… rural America of all places is hilarious. If anything this entire article is evidence of the opposite given the relative demographics of each.

Perhaps this says more about you than the author. At the very least not imaginative enough to picture someone being genuine. Or perhaps this just isn’t the right sort of thing to discuss on hn?

I’ve seen this happen when the people move in and aren’t technically in the city they thought they were. They were right on the border IIRC. Ride-share apps and Google had no clue until I entered the city adjacent to the one they thought they lived in. They somehow still got packages. I guess the zip, street and number combo were enough.

Tip for next time this happens: hold down the back button for a menu of your history. It can help get where you want faster. Although not sure it helps too much if you literally had to click 30 times
brazzledazzle · a year ago
That or right click.

Sure thing :

$env::Path (the semicolon? so Path is not quoted here? But when I assign a value it's quoted?)

Dir -r | %($_.Name.ToLower) ( what is this? statement dreamed by utterly deranged)

They took us for absolute fools

brazzledazzle · a year ago
I mean you don't need to use the convenience aliases, or use even use it exactly that way. Here's it without any aliases:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | ForEach-Object { $PSItem.Name.ToLower() }

This might be a better mix of both worlds:

gci -r | foreach { $PSItem.Name.ToLower() }

There are shells out there that sit between PowerShell / Nu and the old guards like Bash / Zsh.

Ones that support data structures out-of-the-box (like any et al) but also work perfectly fine with existing UNIX commands (like Bash).

PowerShell seems to work fine calling a nix executable, unless I'm missing something:

> ls -t *.js | head -n 10 | foreach { echo $_ ; Get-ChildItem $_ | fl Name, Length } product_original.js

Name : product_original.js Length : 3353

gulpfile.js

Name : gulpfile.js Length : 382

I have tried to do the same, but i have opposite experience. I just can't grok the syntax, it always seems like a magician pulling out another "Haha! I bet you haven't seen this one coming !"

Like, i can't even construct the abstract model of how it's supposed to work

brazzledazzle · a year ago
Would you be able to provide an example? I'm not doubting your experience, just incredibly curious since I had the opposite experience.

why is the description for https://github.com/madprops/goldie is "Firefox Vertical Tabs Powerful Python Chat Client Nim Text Finder" ?
brazzledazzle · a year ago
It got those from this comment and transposed the descriptions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41347438

I'm curious, what kind of presentations involve searching the web on the spot?

The kind with no agenda
