iTerm2 developer caves to the bullies and moves the feature to a plugin

@kellogh Plugin seems like a good compromise. There was excessive pitchfork waving, but when you have a successful program like that, it's good to realise at some point that people will expect security, whether or not they are technically entitled to it. (There was a previous case of data leaking to the internet from iterm2 due to a wild bug, so one might imagine that the paranoid would already be avoiding it.)

3 ducklings fell into the sewer grate. The momma and her babies are asking for help.

@dpp oh no! Was there any way to help?

i guess formally breaking up with only real friend irl on a sleep deprived day might not be the best way to celebrate a birthday

@terrorjack that sucks, but congrats on levelling up

If I had a massive surplus of funds (LOL) I’d absolutely buy myself a monochrome sensor camera. https://www.pentaxforums.com/articles/photography/new-golden-age-bw-photography.html

@baldur If Fuji made a monochrome x100, I'd be all over it, just to more fully recover the Leica B&W experience.

It's interesting, an automatic watch - it doesn't just accommodate, it depends on you. If you don't wear it, it dies

@chris__martin are you liking the Seiko? Which did you get?

Can you teach "taste" in design? I'm not sure I can, but I know it when I see it (or fail to).

Mulling getting back into after many years away from it, but the idea of throwing several thousand euros at a decent bike is harshing the buzz. Still have a 1998 racer with Dura-Ace that got a dinged frame when a car knocked me off and broke my foot in 2015, the last time I rode.

@dabeaz yeah, I'd be extremely likely to get something in titanium with mechanical shifting, because I value longevity over novelty. Wtf is the point of a bike that stops working if its gear-changer battery runs out?

sanityinc,
@sanityinc@hachyderm.io avatar

@oook @dabeaz apart from the danger aspect, at least there's a lifetime warranty on many such frames. Cracked joints used to happen on custom steel frames too, tbh.

@dabeaz @oook yikes, I guess just be happy if nothing cracked on you

Doctors: "Make sure you arrive before your appointment time"

Also Doctors: Makes you wait for 20-60 minutes after your appointment time

@vwbusguy did you guys in the US have open clinic times in the past? As a kid in the UK I'd just sit in the waiting room with a parent and eventually we'd get a turn. Found a local vet here who does the same, and I can't help but wonder if it's more optimal than appointments.

@vwbusguy oh, this was just at the regular family physician's practice, so not necessarily urgent care, but yeah, I guess it fits in that sub-ER space!

I don't recommend being interested in computer things beyond writing small programs that are useful or fun. It's not really good for you.

@chris__martin there's something funny about not wanting the bridge to get wet

There's no such thing as progress in / without your mind also getting rewired and transformed, but the mind-body aspects don't cause changes in each other. They just both change and blur together.

If you enjoy a painful journey of fascinating self-discovery that plays out over decades and looks like a completely pointless woo-woo waste of time to almost everyone else, I can highly recommend these activities. 😂

I just realised this description could equally apply to software engineering

@kellogh I think it comes down to "takes one to know one" in both cases

Sad to see the Foundation drive out (or at least fail to retain) one of the top project contributors. Keeping excellent people engaged in a healthy, supportive OSS community is more key to long-term success than having events sponsored by any particular organisation IMO. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/306702
