gavingon Ask HN: What are your best shell scripts that you use?

Pretty cool with the editor interaction.

Also worth bearing in mind most shells can do this sort of thing easily enough too.

The example from your video with zsh's zmv (bundled: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/blob/master/Functions/Misc/... )

  > ls -l

gavingon HappyOrNot terminals look simple, but the information they gather is revelatory

Interesting to see an article about this, I knocked together a React app the other month for my company based off questions from rands famous "Shields Down" https://medium.com/the-blueprint/shields-down-c291f015618f using this method.

https://github.com/gaving/happy-or-not

Never got around to analyzing the data, too scared.

gavingon Ask HN: How secure is the encryption offered by OS X's Disk Utility?

Nothing to hide; nothing to fear, right?

gavingon Ask HN: What's your working day like?

I'd certainly try it out for a day or two a week, backpack / jersey pockets for stuff.. easier if you have a locker or showers at your work. Hopefully you wouldn't arrive too sweaty after 3 miles which should take you about ~15 minutesish.

Win-win though, exercise and if you get in to it less fuel costs. Could easily clock up 30 miles a week and extend your route on nice days.. no brainer!

gavingon Ask HN: What's your working day like?

"5 minute drive"? Buy a bike and chuck out 0600-0700!

gavingon [dead]

Aren't most people using neovim now?

gavingon Electron 1.0 is here

If you don't have to support win32 platforms, I'd say go with Electron.

Other than that, features pretty similar.

gavingon A look at the 2014 Mac mini

Even more hilarious is the sounds of these "tamper proof" screws on the bottom. I mean, why do they care so much?

gavingon Commander Keen source code released

God, so wish I'd known this at the time.

Thanks!

gavingon Neovim's Next Feature Poll

Loving the progress of Neovim so far, even better that notable plugin authors (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/622#issuecomment-415...) are getting involved.

gavingon Please fix: Unknown or expired link.

I'm not sure anybody particularly cares why it is happening, just that it is happening.

To be honest, it's hard to understand why US tech workers put up with a lot of things.

gavingon How "junior" developers can become regex wizards

Can't remember the last time I had to actually hand craft a regex.

Any serious developer these days will be using standardised libraries for this sort of validation and not reinventing the wheel with some half baked do-it-yourself regex.

gavingon Google Hangouts/GTalk glitch sends chats to wrong recipients
