you can multiplex using plain ssh: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSH/Cookbook/Multiplexing
dedsm··on Tell HN: Firefox Is an awesome browser right now
Multi account containers + Temporary Containers [1] + I don't care about cookies [2] are an awesome combination I use, I have ~10 fixed containers and for almost everything it's a new container that lives as long as the tab is open.

dedsm··on If this project is dead, just tell us
there are a couple of issues with "moving on", since the project is owned by pypa, it feels it should be the default for python projects, pipenv has a good idea, but in my opinion, a flawed implementation, and maybe all my issues are already resolved in those 600+ commits without release.

About the framing of the question, I think it's because of all the flame wars in the past when people criticized pipenv and maintainers took it a bit personal.

dedsm··on Building columnar compression in a row-oriented database
it's perfectly fine to use TimescaleDB alongside any regular tables.
dedsm··on It's not okay to pretend your software is open source
I think the main issue is that you state something that's not true, https://github.com/antirez/redis-doc/pull/984 shows that, Redis Labs is claiming license is OSI-approved, when it's not.
dedsm··on Turn off tracking protection to resolve “video is currently unavailable” error
CBS All Access is US-only AFAIK, so I don't think GDPR is a problem for them
dedsm··on Modifications to Google Chromium for removing Google integration
Since quantum arrived, firefox developer edition is my browser of choice, and with the containers functionality it checks all my marks.
dedsm··on My experience with off-shoring teams and what went wrong
I owned a company that provided off-shore services to companies in the US, it worked perfectly.

If you are doing off-shoring, you really need to insist on the independence and the ability to speak up of the team, it doesn't work if you get yes-men, sadly that's the general case for India-based offshore companies

dedsm··on St – A simple terminal implementation for X
this is not entirely true, xmonad's config file happens to be a haskell file, but I don't need to recompile the whole xmonad project if I want to change it, I just start xmonad again.

It does some tricks to do this (mainly the _main_ xmonad executable compiles a custom binary for you taking the xmonad.hs as input), but it's a different case.

dedsm··on GitLab Master Plan
I've been using Gitlab CI for more than two months now, and it's incredibly simple to set up and really powerful specially with the integration with docker, also, self-hosted gitlab is free.

I also have Teamcity where I work and the comparison is not even fair, I set up gitlab in one day to serve as a continuous integration/deployment server

dedsm··on My time with Rails is up
one of the issues I see with rails precisely is that most people won't ever know that 1.year is not a plain ruby method
dedsm··on My time with Rails is up
The main difference is that Django does not rely on monkeypatching or magic methods, and for me the separation of concerns feels just natural in Django.

When I started with Rails it felt like magic, you didn't know why things worked.

dedsm··on My time with Rails is up
I've always said Rails is good for short-lived build and forget projects, it's too "magic" for my taste.

I can't imagine what it must feel like to receive a mid-to-large sized Rails project to maintain.

dedsm··on Our modern web theme goes live
modern, as PHP
dedsm··on Logo, Bullshit & Co., Inc.
so, the whole logo is bad because Yahoo didn't pay millions of dollars on it?
dedsm··on Facebook Lost a Great Engineer
"At my current company, we hire based on provable real-world experience."

That is also a pretty bad hiring schema, you are leaving out a great deal of potential great programmers that are just starting, so, which strategy is better? I guess you always leave people behind, if it works for you, it's the right choice, and it has been working for facebook.

dedsm··on I built a better Google. It was easy.
is this like a joke or something?

Nevertheless, random routing is a bad idea even if a dyno can handle multiple requests simultaneously
dedsm··on Getting Started with Django
DRY?
dedsm··on Getting Started with Django
I don't see why giving the user more info on how to handle a full project since the beginning is a bad thing, the django part will certainly be independent of the rest of the tools.

why on earth would you want to have mongo as main database to emulate relations?
