Maybe try ghostel with evil-mode, if you're okay with Emacs? https://github.com/dakra/ghostel

Oh man, fond memories.

I remember being very interested in programming in middle/high school, but all the environments in our school computer lab had windows (this was in India), and I think at that time (maybe 2001-2003) I didn't even know there were other operating systems.

Our school was participating in something called International Cyber Olympiad, and of course I gave the eligibility exam.

They sent all students who passed a Knoppix Live CD to prepare for the actual competition. We did not have a PC at home until a couple of years later, but I used that CD in any PC I could find anywhere - the school computer lab, the school library computers, and my dad's office computers. It was my first experience with a Linux system (and I found it awesome). Also my first experience with gcc instead of borland c++.

Somewhat related: I really like Erlang's docs about handling time. They have common scenarios laid out and document which APIs to use for them. Like: retrieve system time, measure elapsed time, determine order of events, etc.

A much better alternative for this is: https://www.beeminder.com/

My personal blog with not much content, but I try: https://www.srijn.net/

The first part of this https://karthinks.com/software/fifteen-ways-to-use-embark/ also talks about how inverting action and object can be useful, and how Emacs's embark package makes it possible to even go back and forth between object and action as needed.

Or https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool for wayland.

The part that was interesting for me was:

> So if you positively encourage it to “think out loud”, it stands a much better chance of being able to use its deduction and reasoning capabilities (which are quite significant).

That was my first thought as well. I'm sure a 4th prompt to choose different colors for the graphs would work.

I think it can definitely help overcome the "mental block" that we (I?) face sometimes when staring at a task list. If something is too hazily defined, even an incorrect breakdown of the task can help me spur into action.

I used ssh_config's `Match` recently to route only okta-managed servers via their auth proxy command. That was quite powerful.

We recently started using buildjet, and it has been nothing short of awesome. So I can highly recommend them.

You can use it when roaming.

I think the alerts would have to be at a higher level hierarchy than plain URLs or domains.

I'm imagining a categorized whitelist of domains based on purpose (essential, telemetry, ads) which the user would choose from at first run, and the program would just block the other domains without asking again and again.

Emacs' magit blame mode also supports recursive blaming - you can effectively step back and forward in time.

Ah, I never considered or used Dropbox as a backup tool, only for synchronization. Backup is separate.

For simple undo operations (recover a recently deleted file), Syncthing's version history is good enough.

I've been using syncthing for more than 3 years, and it's been just amazing. It replaced dropbox for me completely, and provides a better experience in all aspects - speed, stability, low power usage on mobile.

One of the few projects I'm sponsoring on Github.

> Can you also share small objects by reference?

No.

But, you can use a cheap cache layer instead of expensive db layer - ETS.

The only sharing is for large binaries (>64 bytes)[0].

Like all messaging mechanisms, this can be handled by passing a reference or id, and the receiver fetching the actual large data from db/file/source of truth.

There's also an old discussion on this here: http://erlang.2086793.n4.nabble.com/Why-are-messages-between...

But, the internal state is still changed by the owner process, in the owner process' context. The external process cannot change it's state behind it's back.

Effectively, mutations to the internal state are "serialized" by the owner process, so it's easier to handle possible race conditions without using explicit locks/semaphores.

Yes, messages keep piling up and memory usage keeps increasing until the Erlang VM goes out of memory.

To debug, there's a max_heap_size parameter which can be configured to log an error message when heap size of any process goes beyond a threshold, or it can even kill the process[0]. Although I don't know if this takes the "off-heap" messages into account.

Also, there are lots of libraries which can provide a "top" like view of the running system.

Kafka or similar is already used by the existing solutions mentioned in the post.

I think what this adds is a better way of dump processing without using database specific features.

What are you using for those side tabs?

Does anyone know how to initially import zsh's history into fish?

VDS6 (http://vds6.net/) has some very cheap IPv6-only plans. They use BSD Jail for virtualization.

curl -I www.pinboard.in

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Vary: Accept-Encoding
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf8
    Connection: keep-alive
    Server: You got SERVED!
    X-Cache: MISS

I'm guessing because 4294967290 = 2^32 - 6

I upvoted so that others share their similar setups/scripts (as you did).
