I hope it was just an error. Links are the killer feature of the web, and what with Google hiding parts of the URL in the address bar, it seems like they are trying to hide them.

Does anybody who is familiar with the BSDs know how those OSes solve this kind of problem? (I don't know enough to say if this even could be a problem with their architecture, just curious).

Yes. I already sorta do. My current schedule is nine longer days, with the tenth day off. I work enough time in the first nine days to make up for the tenth day. It's not exactly the same as a four-day work week though. I would jump on that in a heartbeat.

I immediately noticed an improvement to my overall happiness when switching to my current work schedule.

I had both an Archos and a Cowon MP3 player back in Middle/High School that I loaded Rockbox onto one of (can't remember which). I remember being able to play Doom, watch pirated Family Guy, and listen to my music all on one device and thinking this was the pinnacle of technology.

Our teams at my work have recently adopted this stack. We're now building 4-5 apps this way and I couldn't be happier.

> And will it be able to run all those apps that these days you need to use all kind of services?

I'm hoping the answer to that on the Librem 5, PinePhone, and any other Linux phones to come out, is PWAs.

Scott Hanselman and I'm pretty sure Jeff Atwood too.

This is exactly where my mind went when I first saw this. Thanks for the balenaEtcher AppImage!!!

I have a bit of an off-topic question for anybody who writes Rust.

I'm more familiar with web development and higher level languages, but I've always been interested in Rust. While I know a bit of C/C++, I'm far from an expert. One of the things that turns me off from those languages are the frequent use of really short or cryptic variable/function names.

I'm looking at this codebase, specifically https://github.com/hsiaosiyuan0/naive/blob/master/src/lib/to..., and I see stuff like `let (s, kv, vk, be) = gen_map!`. I have no clue what those variables would be unless I dug around the rest of the file.

Is this sort of variable/method naming convention common in the Rust world? I am not criticizing the author or the language here, merely just curious what I should expect if I dipped my toes into Rust.

I know of two websites that still use Flash Player for their videos.

One is an, um, adult site. The other is HBO Go, which I only know because I had issues getting this running on Linux. I haven't tried it in several months though so that may have changed.

I think my big win for today is learning that `git grep` is a thing. Thank you for that.

Provide options to let users add/remove from their whitelist. At least that's what I want to see.

It kinda drives me nuts that Ctrl+num changes to that tab number on Windows, but on Linux, it is Alt+num.

I mean I use Dolphin because I'm a KDE user, but I believe it's possible in Windows with the Set UI [0]. There are third party Windows file explorers but I don't have any experience with them.

Perhaps. I love tmux for multiple terminals in one SSH connection, but I'm a big fan of tabbed browsing, tabbed file explorers, etc., so having tabs in my terminal just makes sense. I could probably get used to tmux handling tabs and split panes all the time.

I have been using Cmder on Windows for a while, but Hyper has also looked really good.

With the announcement of the new Windows Terminal, I wonder if these projects will become irrelevant. The only reason I use Cmder is for tabs, and once I have Windows Terminal with that feature, I doubt I would ever use Cmder or Hyper.

I have to imagine that a lot of the apps would have a dotfile or some plaintext configs somewhere seen as how it's all just Linux. At least I would hope so.

Same.

I only use Windows in a VM now, but for years I ran Windows with no AV outside of whatever Windows set up on it's own. I only got two viruses in my life, and both times I was asking for it (downloading sketchy looking things off of Kazaa when that was a thing).

Watching both seasons through the "this isn't exactly OG Star Trek" lens has made both seasons pretty darn enjoyable for me. The Orville is close to a classic Star Trek feel, and that show has filled that void for me.

It took switching from Windows to Linux to figure out why my PC had issues booting sometimes.

In Windows, it would just spin a little circle forever until I rebooted. After installing Linux and getting actual error messages, I learned that my SATA AHCI controller wasn't always working at boot and was fixed by plugging my HDD into a different port.

The problem could have been fixed so much earlier had Windows just told me what was wrong.

We use Skype for Business at my work. I'm not really sure what the difference is between that and regular Skype. I know Skype for Business is just a re-skinned MS Lync, which in turn is just a re-skinned MS Communicator from back in the day. It's a pretty terrible chat client but it's what everyone is used to using here.

I was a little disheartened as well, but that video was made early on in development. There was and still is time for optimization. I don't think the hardware is incapable of a smooth user experience. It's a software problem.

I have PowerShell installed on Linux, but I don't ever use it. Is that your main shell? How does that work out for you on Linux?

Well I agree lots of times what the app wants is innocuous, I'd still rather have the message than not.

Maybe an option to open up a more detailed description of what the app wants the permissions for?

I'm also on 15.05, and I haven't had to touch my router for the few years I've had it since I installed 15.05.

I don't know if there's any reason to even bother upgrading. Is it faster or more secure now? Better admin UI?

I'm not sure why you got downvoted. This is like 99% correct and good advice.

The only carrier I see mentioned regularly that it should definitely support is AT&T. Other ones, I am not so sure about.

Not to mention you're training Google's AI with every "select photos containing a car" type question.

I cam across this solution not very long ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11070797.

The advantage to Chezmoi (or GNU Stow) is that it can handle things outside of your home directory too (if I understand correctly).
