thatmiddleway··on The State of RSS Feed Readers
On Mac the best open source reader is NetNewsWire.
thatmiddleway··on Punk, or why I don't stream anymore
You could get yellow dog Linux running on a ps3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Dog_Linux
thatmiddleway··on The Xteink X4 E-Ink Reader
https://www.ebooks.com/en-us/ Is an option
thatmiddleway··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2026)
Do you offer any kind of relocation assistance for people who are already U.S. based?
thatmiddleway··on What if the Hormuz closure will not be brief?
I think scarcity and price spikes are a feature not a bug.
thatmiddleway··on An AI bot is (sort of) running for mayor in Wyoming
For people on HN, we know it’s definitely low effort. For the general population though? Might be enough to get votes.
thatmiddleway··on Fuzzy: A Ruby language server for large codebases
Why has it taken rubylsp so long to implement goto method, var, etc.? Seems like it would be a high feature priority but hasn’t been implemented yet. Fuzzy must be a smaller team and this basic language server functionality exists.
thatmiddleway··on Ask HN: Cyberdecks like the Clockwork UConsole
Pinephone pro in the keyboard case is pretty fun. I run postmarketOS with SXMO and it’s very capable. It does calls/texts and provides a nice little Linux environment for light coding.
thatmiddleway··on The HTML review is an annual journal of literature made to exist on the web
Yeah I hope an rss feed gets added. There’s no way to know when it updates currently.
thatmiddleway··on Ask HN: Do you recall any book or course that made a topic finally click?
I learned so much from the C and python versions. Real gems that presented the critical information succinctly.
thatmiddleway··on Google Search results are below the fold
Kagi is really shaping up to be a great search experience. The fact that it’s going to be a paid service is a killer feature. No ads is incredibly refreshing.
thatmiddleway··on System76 Reportedly Developing Their Own Rust-Written Desktop
I’ve had my dad using fedora for many years now, and he’s the opposite of tech savvy. Honestly, I get less tech questions/problems from him than my other family members that use Apple products. It stays out of his way and is a safe secure environment that’s not collecting his personal information.
thatmiddleway··on Facebook is down
So what.
thatmiddleway··on The Diverse Pleasures of the All-Day Café
American here: Do places like this exist en mass in European countries and this is something that's coming fresh to America? Most American restaurants seem to try and hustle you out, not invite you to stay for another meal.
thatmiddleway··on A Tour of Acme (2012) [video]
"using a separate terminal (that obviously can't be split next to a file window)"

Tmux can do that pretty easily!

thatmiddleway··on Is Facebook a Structural Threat to Free Society?
"Oh, I finished my book! I should probably take a picture of the cover and post it on Facebook!..."
thatmiddleway··on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Review
Oh man, you're going to love Persona 5! Check out the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPqSkzNNPIg The 4th one is really good too, but definitely feels graphically dated.
thatmiddleway··on Ruby+OMR JIT Compiler: What’s Next?
Could this make eclim useful for ruby developers?
thatmiddleway··on Using Vim as a Python IDE
Same here, I'd never heard of it. I switched over to check it out, and am very pleased with how much more responsive it is than neomake. It's marking things while I'm still in insert mode, and not waiting till I save the file, quite useful. It's probably going to stick around and be my new go too!

Even though I write ruby and javascript all day, I still like to go and read how others are using vim. I usually walk away with a keybinding or plugin that makes my life better.

thatmiddleway··on CDC’s canceled climate change conference is back on thanks to Al Gore
It's good to see that this issue has expanded beyond the realm of politics. There is hope when non government organizations are able to put something together in the absence of federal participation.
thatmiddleway··on Safari 10.1
Lack of custom elements has been a big problem for years. Glad they finally caught up there. We can finally use semantic HTML with safari!
thatmiddleway··on Ask HN: If you were to switch career, what would you do?
I agree, "the unexamined life is not worth living." We should start a club for expats that all want to do this.
thatmiddleway··on SpaceVim – Like Spacemacs, but for Vim
Yea, this is always the big value for me from these distributions. I can always find a cool plugin or bit of vimscript that I didn't know about.
thatmiddleway··on Why Kakoune – The quest for a better code editor
You can set line numbers in vim to be relative, then there's no counting involved.
thatmiddleway··on How Nantucket Came to Be the Whaling Capital of the World
If you're interested in more depth, a great book to read is Away Off Shore, written by Nathaniel Philbrick. It's a very well written and readable history of Nantucket.
thatmiddleway··on Slack adds emoji reactions
Since the app is just a web window, cmd + r will work too.
thatmiddleway··on Front End Developer – Interview Questions
Completely disagree. While some of the questions had me look to the internet, most I was able to answer. I think that the more time you spend in the DOM, the more you run into these things and they become part of your knowledge set. Working on the same application day in, day out may not enforce this kind of knowledge, while having to create, work on and maintain a variety of applications will enforce knowledge retention. I'd argue that it's the difference between someone who works on a single product and a contractor who has to work on something new every hour/day/week.
thatmiddleway··on Echarts 2.0
Being a programmer and learning Chinese is starting to look like a useful skill. The documentation for this is just another example.
thatmiddleway··on Rohinni: Paper-thin LED lighting
Anyone have an idea as to the lumens per sqft?
thatmiddleway··on Firefox Developer Edition
I'm having the same issue. For now, you can click the first icon on the left of the devtools top bar and then click on the element you want to inspect.
