What if you want to write "Dijkstra"?
eqyiel··on Ask HN: Any tips on debugging Linux hibernate issues?
I have the same problem with a Thinkpad x240. Never managed to figure it out, instead I just use suspend which works reliably.
eqyiel··on JavaScript singing synthesis library
Thanks for posting this!
eqyiel··on The Evils of the `For` Loop (2009)
If you don't have Flash but still want to read it:

    Array.prototype.map.call(document.querySelectorAll(".zclip"), function(node) { node.parentNode.removeChild(node); })
eqyiel··on Color harmony and color design
This is another interesting one, made by a fellow intern at my industry placement company (part of a Computer Science degree here in Australia):

Lesson 12 has a really cool palette generator.

eqyiel··on 41 Percent of Fliers Think You’re Rude If You Recline Your Seat
Isn't it kind of a fake olive branch / placebo that airplanes have reclining seats anyway? It gives a little extra space to the recliner but takes space away from the person sitting behind, so to reclaim it they need to recline their seat and so on. If everybody reclines then everybody ends up with the same amount of space and no one is better off, except maybe the people in the front or back rows.

eqyiel··on Death to Bullshit
I don't disagree with you but you may be interested to know that tumblr blogs do have RSS feeds:

eqyiel··on China Plans to Strip Mine the Moon for Rare Helium-3
Also features heavily in Planetes! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes
eqyiel··on TMSU is a tool for tagging your files
It's definitely clunky, but you might like to know that you can tag more than one thing at once:

Select more than one book, right click -> Edit metadata -> Edit metadata in bulk

eqyiel··on The Joy of Typing
> Pressing Ctrl+<up arrow> jumps up an entire function, because Emacs (in Linux) is cognizant of the barriers of a function. Emacs on Mac OS X doesn't, and it's the #1 productivity killer for me when coding.

That doesn't sound right. I would urge you to come and talk about in #emacs@freenode if you haven't already!

eqyiel··on Essential LaTeX packages
The manual is amazing too. Especially good is the author's sense of humor and the design primer in chapter 7. For anybody wanting to get started I would recommend taking a look at the tutorials.

eqyiel··on The boy who stole Half Life 2 source code (2011)
I wonder if it was around this time when people wisened up to disabling zone-transfer requests. Tangentially, I took part in a CTF recently and one of the tasks was to get the list of hosts from a domain. The hint was "My sword. My bow. And my Axfr!"
eqyiel··on Tor in Google Summer of Code 2014
This may be the coolest thing to ever come out of /g/!
eqyiel··on GNOME Disabling Middle Click Paste
Not disagreeing with you, just wanted to say in case you didn't know: shift-insert has the same effect and doesn't require reaching for the mouse.
eqyiel··on Lavabit abruptly shuts down
For a NL VPS host I would like to recommend tilaa.com. No affiliation, just a happy customer.
eqyiel··on Ask HN: What IRC channels does everyone find interesting?
#emacs, there are lots of really smart people there.

eqyiel··on Disney have stolen my artwork
I can't believe that in 2013 people still think they can get away with things like this.
eqyiel··on An Irrational Fear of Files on the Desktop
If you use GNU/Linux, check out: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs Setting these env vars will prevent Firefox and other apps from thinking they have to create those directories.
