This is a common reaction and the response is common too: this is only the case if you follow the herd to 8v8 and the two club-like maps they fixate on. But if you study the community for 5 minutes first, you can walk past those two “pubs full of toxic jerks fighting” there are a dozen other options. Single player, PvE, 1v1 through 4v4 and FFA. These (smaller) game modes lack the level of drama you see in 8v8. You just have to go into the quiet restaurant with nerds playing chess and other board games instead of the obvious mess of a drunken bar across the street.

https://www.beyondallreason.info/ is high quality and in active, open development. And fun. For some weird reason 8v8 is the default experience but there are several other modes: PVE, 1v1, etc.

You can get by with 3 or four people. A few can be kids! It is intended to be played in person, but we started playing it remotely for "team building" in mid 2020. It works great over the internet, if everyone is technical enough to run two clients: one for your station and one for the "main" screen. If you have multiple monitors it works well. We've found all remote or all in person work well, and mixed makes comms frustrating.

Looks cool! I did a quick skim of the website and privacy policy. It was quick, so maybe I missed it, but where are the notes stored? How are they protected? Are the contents of the notes considered Personal Data as relates to the privacy policy?

A wise colleague recently explained to me that if you build HA things HA from the start, it's only a little more than 2x. If you try to make an _existing_ system HA, it's 3x at best. HN is not a paid service, they can be down for a few hours per year, no problem. We're not all going to walk away in disgust.

A mix of mutt for triage and reluctantly, the gmail web interface. I think I have tried every real client available and been disappointed in many different ways?

Mailmate at https://freron.com/ is fantastic. My only gripe is that it is Mac-only, so I can't use it on my work desktop. (linux)

99% of all businesses are planning on at least two really bad quarters coming up. Very few have cash reserves to cover shortfalls. If you’re planning out the rest of the year, and you were already in a little trouble, you have to cut expenses immediately.

I’m not sure Omni is as tied to quarterly planning/reporting; but for those who are, and are on the regular calendar schedule, this all happened just in time for a lot of the potential Q1 end of quarter sales to dry up as everyone tightened up.

Same here, 5 digits and a hostname = no problem. There must be some other factor(s) in play.

You do probably want swap, but the comment you are replying to is talking about a swap _partition_ and that is not the only way to do swap. Using a file instead makes it easier to change the size of your swap, some people prefer that.

https://puri.sm/ makes great laptops with hardware switches. I have one, love it, and reluctantly accept that this market will always just be the same ~1400 nerds.

Put more simply, it is about increasing total addressable market.

Your optimism is nice, but unfounded. South park (South of Seattle) was left with one bridge for four years: https://www.historylink.org/File/10808

In Michigan, they've resorted to making some bridges single lane after they were rated too old for two cars at a time.

It looks like keyboard shortcuts don't work here? I tried the new Thunderbird, but it looks like you (still) need an extension to change keyboard shortcuts and none of them work with v68 even if you don't mind third party extensions.

> It's like you try to peel back a single layer of why people believe what they believe and there's nothing there.

I'd like you to consider that something in your manner of "peeling back" is causing people to block you out

If I get the impression someone has pre-judged me or is generally disagreeable, I don't feed the bear. I just don't care what they think and if looking dumb gets me out of that conversation quickly that is fine by me.

> like disabling selecting text when you shouldn't be able to

This is the worst thing in computers. Why would you EVER _block_ the ability to select text? I am engaged enough to want to select something you made! Embrace that, don't stop it!

This looks cool, but I have been happy with https://github.com/vhp/terminal_velocity - terminal based, I use it with vim but you can specify the editor.

So you can justify using k8s and shine up your resume!

Yeah, if you have a hacked iMessage client you probably could retire from bug bounties. At any rate the bug in question would pale in comparison to a rogue iMessage client.

I buy a lot of cables for work. A few years ago I tried to order a new batch from my supplier and they told me they now had CAT6 for the same price, but thinner. So since 2015 or so we've used CAT6. But never in lengths that matter, just in-rack patch cables. Initially I didn't really care about the diameter. Later we ran out of space in the cable trays where we had some older, thicker stuff and swapping it out made a tactile, physical difference. IMO 5/5e/6 is a wash anyway, if you need distance you probably just need fiber.

Sadly, this is the moment that those photos stop being private. I get that this is hard for the general public to understand - but at this point, uploading anything to Facebook = obfuscated, maybe, but not private.

Me three! I can't imagine going back to soft boots. The initial cost is more but boots and bindings last far longer.

I loved it when I was on a Mac full time but now my work desktop and home laptop are linux.

Looks cool, but I'm still in love with https://github.com/terminal-velocity-notes/terminal_velocity - even if I am the only one left using it. For me, a switch to the browser is a risk to attention.

Whoops just re-read TFA, you are working on it, good luck!

> This is why we have chosen to support Gmail.

Your website and this discussion suggests Hiri does not support gmail.

Which is it?

I like the directory full of .md and txt files. Similar to Notational Velocity and nvAlt - but cross-platform is terminal_velocity. https://github.com/terminal-velocity-notes/terminal_velocity - it lost the maintainer recently, but it works fine!

I bike commute 6 miles each way 4-5 days a week, about 1/2 on the Burke and other paths. That is where my comment comes from. (A day late to amend, I suppose)

Especially around UW, there are ALWAYS rental bikes in the way. Not always dangerously so, but adding to congestion.

I am trying hard not to be too old-man-crotchety about this, but the part where the business model of these companies depends on storing assets on the public right of way ... grinds my gears.

I kinda disagree, they are left in the middle or take up a third of shared paths like the Burke-Gilman all of the time. Maybe we just gave up complaining?

Honestly thank you personally. But that doesn’t address my comment- I can sneak around it with computer fu but I’d think this is in the realm of what should be free. As in not like beer but bread.
