bugshideout··on Ask HN: What do you love/hate about terminals? Would you change them?
It would be nice if the terminal and/or shell exposed some metadata. For example which machine and folder it is currently at.

This would allow one to have two terminals connected to two different machines ( via ssh for example ) and drag and drop files from one terminal to the other, even if there is no route between the two hosts

It would also be nice if words or sentences in the terminal had metadata. So one could type `ls`, see a lot files and click on obe of them to open it

bugshideout··on Anyprint: use any language's print statements in Python
Ironically, what I miss most from Python is Python2's print, which for a language proud of getting rid of parenthesis, that is very contradictory....
bugshideout··on Ask HN: In what countries can you legally get a long term teleworking visa?
As far as I know, in Croatia you can stay as long as you want if you can prove you make at least 4000 EUR/month. In Brazil you can stay as long as you want as well if you invest about 25.000 USD in your own Brazilian company. That does mean paying 25.000 USD, but opening a company and putting that amount in it's bank account. You can always close the company an take you money with you afterwards.

The thing about tourist visa is about working in the country. That means "stealing" a job from a citizen of a country.

Nobody cares if a person during his/her holidays answer emails from his/her job in his/her native country.

From another perspective, even if there is not law saying so, for the guest country it's nice to have telecommuters. They spend money on the country, they (probably) won't use the health system (an maybe must have their own private health insurance), and they don't "consume" any of the country's jobs.

But the best part about having a telecommute job is country hopping. A big plus of switching countries at least every 179 days is that unless you are from the US or Eritrea, don't have to pay income taxes nowhere.
