david_frieron 7-zip 22.00 – APFS, Posix TAR, high precision timestamps

Given that not EVERYBODY does EVERYTHING on Linux in the CLI, can anyone recommend a GUI archive handler like engrampa, but that is not bound to p7zip and will instead use 7zz?

david_frieron Charm – Tools to make the command line glamorous

This appealed to me, too. Maybe the demo they are going for is, old.

david_frieron Culdesac Tempe: The first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in the US

That looks like nothing so much as Season 1 of The Good Place.

david_frieron Ask HN: Higher IQ? What are your hacks for assimilating?

Humility is a great start!

Humor, also. Amuse others with your wit. Don't be insulting, it's not necessary

Be willing to have your opinion discounted for a while (see, humility). When you turn out to have been right often enough they will come around. If it doesn't work out that way, hmmm, maybe you lacked some necessary knowledge.

Actual knowledge can often trump an ability to figure it out quickly. Pay attention to people with experience in a new situation, even if their CPU clock is running slower than yours. Respect their database.

david_frieron Ask HN: What personal blogs do you read?

kottke.org - I know it's big and popular but it's still got a very personal feel.

nancylebov.livejournal.com - Input Junkie She is the Button Lady you may know for many years now. Very eclectic subject matter

vihart.com for the math and the attitude.

david_frieron Amazon to Disable S3 Path-Style Access Used to Bypass Censorship

It's unclear to me why would we expect corporations that are designed to seek only profit to care about issues that are unrelated (at best) to profit. Such as human rights.

david_frieron Sundar Pichai: Privacy Should Not Be a Luxury Good

If you cringe a little you're really almost-acknowledging that you haven't /really/ done anything for your privacy. Maybe using Apple products is a bit of g33k virtue-signaling?
