p4cmanus3r··on EmDash – A spiritual successor to WordPress that solves plugin security
This is naive thinking you can just rewrite WordPress and think it's going to solve any problems that exist with WordPress. The entire community of WordPress has been built over decades including its successes and failures, but people are not going to just stop using WordPress as I have seen people attempt this over and over in the last 20 years with little success.

I love the idea, but it's going to be cancelled for sure.
p4cmanus3r··on A surprise with how '#!' handles its program argument in practice
The authors previous article about "...(not) using #!/usr/bin/env whatever" doesn't sit well with me.

"The only reason to start your script with '#!/usr/bin/env <whatever>' is if you expect your script to run on a system where Bash or whatever else isn't where you expect (or when it has to run on systems that have '<whatever>' in different places, which is probably most common for third party packages)."

His very first point is how you should only use it don't know where to expect bash binary, when I feel like, while it's probably safe in most nix os', assuming it limits future enhancements by requiring that binary be in place. However unlikely it would need to or someone would want to move it.

p4cmanus3r··on Can your terminal do emojis? How big?
Back in my day... They didn't have emojis in terminals.
p4cmanus3r··on Show HN: Boulette - Protect you from yourself (even as root).
Seems like just aliasing `shutdown` to something with a confirmation on servers and not your local would suffice.

p4cmanus3r··on Ask HN: Should I give my employer all my medical records?
- That's crazy. I would say no way. - I hope your in a position to move on. Like someone else said, they badically just fired you. - You could try to fight it. Probably expensive and no guaranted payday. - Companies should be able to ask whatever they want. - Would you want to work for someone like this anyways? Hopefully no one would.
p4cmanus3r··on Laptop Review: ThinkPad X1 Extreme (Gen 2)
Dual video with Optimus manager works quite well. You can't truly shut off the Nvidia card from what I understand but switching between Intel/hybrid/Nvidia still yields decent battery life and performance optimizations.

Although it requires the Nvidia drivers and blacklisting nouvea driver still. And I hate relying on Nvidia drivers for anything Linux personally.
