TIL the US government issued my Swiss passport

"Why do people need this tool? I use a much more rudimentary solution that doesn't do half the things a password manager does"

Kill it already. It's been terrible for 15 years now.

15 years is more than generous. It's been terrible for nearly 30 - the drop-off around season nine or ten was precipitious and it's only gotten worse since then.

The technical term seems to be "Zombie Simpsons".

Their ratings would tell another story. Still one of the top rated shows.

Ok let me rephrase: it's been terrible for 15 years in comparison to what it used to be.

Also thank you for reddit.


I can agree with that. Which then begs the question, is the rest of TV so bad that it's still top rated, or is it momentum, or are we just looking back with rose colored glasses? :)

And you're welcome!


Maybe read the very next sentence?

> Modern Platform Support: Full support for the Wayland UI and clipboard has been added. On Linux and Unix-like systems, Vim now adheres to the XDG Base Directory Specification, using $HOME/.config/vim for user configuration.

Yes.


Being trans and a Musk worshipper is wild


Also their software projects are quite amazing. It has to be someone living just on the edge of sanity. Schizo rollercoaster life of being at the same time smartest person in the room while completely missing forrest for the trees.

How can someone be starting occupy wall street and few years later fully embrace the moldbugs CEO corporate monarchy. Brilliant and dumb and scary. It's truly wild.


A lot of grifter fash latched onto OWS and built careers off their early involvement


Ultrasound whistle?

Sounds a bit cruel though, I dunno how it makes them feel


Usualy doesn't work. Needs a specific type of dog, and the right device. Most of the ones sold online are scams.


It makes them bark more, in my experience.


I feel like my biggest gripe with every single WM I've tried is the Idea that if I reboot, I lose everything. Sure I can add complex rules in sway like "always open Firefox on workspace 2, slack on workspace 1", but i still have to launch them on boot (unless I automate this as well), and it becomes complex when I say I always want 3 terminals on workspace 3, etc.

I wish I could fine tune once, and snapshot whatever it is I'm using, and have it appear automatically when I reboot.


Yeah, I remember at one point I had some rather complex auto-workspace layouts in my xmonad config. I don't remember if I tried to automate the launching of apps as well, that most customized config was several computers ago.

Relatedly I know that Windows PowerToys has a tool called "Workspaces" that also automates the launching as well as the placement, but it doesn't seem to integrate enough with FancyZones for me to find it that useful. Which is weird because they are "neighbors" in PowerToys. Still it's a good idea and interesting to see an experiment in that direction.


I used to own long.cat and I never bothered


The idea that the golden ratio is particularly aesthetically pleasing is 100% snake oil.

Sure, moving a heading slightly higher can make it look much better than if it was perfectly equidistant from the side and the top, but the precise amount depends on a million visual factors. The golden ratio might happen to work fine, but there's nothing magical about it.

Even temples that we thought followed the golden ratio for their dimensions have been measured better, and it turns out they don't. The civilizations back then knew enough so they could have made them very close to the golden ratio, but they didn't. Not always at least.


I usually try to stay polite here, but what a deeply stupid comment

This person is on HN for the same reasons as I am, presumably: reading about hacker stuff. Entering prompts in black boxes and watching them work so you have more time to scratch your balls is not hacker stuff, it's the latest abomination of late stage capitalism and this forum is, sadly, falling for it.


Exactly my thought. I wasn't sure but I came across a wit comment the other day: that hackernews is a ycombinator forum that happens to be public.

I then went to see the latest batches. Cohorts are heavily building things that would support the fall for whatever this is. It needs supported or we won't make it.
