Fine but, probably post the burrito-for-rats next time

as the other comment said, you can put in user.js but more specifically, that goes in the root of wherever your profile is. for me, that is:

    /home/<user>/.mozilla/firefox/<name>/user.js
this file doesn't exist by default, there's caveats with how it is overwritten, etc. i don't know much

why advertise your account as a bot? idgi

    about: Responsible bot.


I (a primate) have been using this About for six years. Miss the days when no one had any doubts about this statement.


I didn't wanna press, but ... seeing "Responsible bot." on a ~10 month old account, it is a different signal lol

Only reason I said anything at all.


Looking at the post history, it's actually impressive. I would not have guessed it was a bot based on the replies.

If the posts are actually from a bot - I would love to know which model is being used.


It's probably a joke, since so many people here accuse others of being bots.



you can play as the donkey cheat mode sexy bill


i love the mkdir example, so i’m going to exercise that muscle and see where it goes

and yeah ^r works, though i often type a few chars and ^p till i get the match. history-search-backward in your inputrc, iirc

edit: on a computer now :) my `if emacs` block, allowing arrows or ^n/^p to run through history. so for e.g., type "tar" and now as you shift through history with :binding:, it only shows history that began with "tar"

    $if mode=emacs
    "\e[A": history-search-backward
    "\e[B": history-search-forward
    "\C-p": history-search-backward
    "\C-n": history-search-forward
    ...
    $endif


That one was always worth its own function for me.

``` mkcd() { mkdir -p -- "$*" && cd -- "$*" } ```


I like to think this'll be around forever

I love userscripts. Aren't we all using https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey now though?

thought I realize "if it works it works", https://github.com/Tampermonkey/tampermonkey


I did something similar 2 days ago with ViolentMonkey if you only want to check high-level discussion without any new tabs at all.

I'd improve it by counting top level comments next to items but that would slow it down. Still need to make some slight changes like closing sidebar by re-clicking orange (beyond just right-clicking sidebar.)

It's very fast and speeds up thinking overall.


Not on Safari, but I should migrate on Firefox I’ve read (some controversy).

  zip is available only if you're logged-in on GitHub site
Haven’t seen that before.


right, you're using the tool for the job. author was reaching for reliability, re: OTP/beam. now we don't know if they actually needed it, but, you're saying the same thing to me


It was the BEAM process/actor model that fit much better for managing agents, and then there was the out-of-the-box live UI with Phoenix/LiveView that was really appealing. I had started the project in Typescript/Node (because that's my company's primary stack choice), but it hit a plateau in reliably managing multiple independent long-lived agent processes (not really what Node is designed for). I could have used an even more boring tech like Go with more robust process management, but Elixir and Phoenix also came with a lot out of the box. It's no surprise that OpenAI's reference project for agent orchestration (https://github.com/openai/symphony) is also written in Elixir.


i see one person saying it is now cheap to support the new hotness, which previously would have been its own project, and another saying it has become cheap again to do things the boring-yet-reliable way that maybe didn’t used to scale so great.


that's fair. probably i attached more weight to the opening line: "We're in an interesting time where my framework/stack choice is now much less dictated by existing engineer expertise and more about fundamental capabilities in the framework and stack themselves."

assuming author wouldn't choose X _just because_ it is the new hotness


maybe it is mostly books, but the first one it served me was a /r/aita post

https://uncovered.ink/?b=9781538704448


Yeah, same for me. I was confused.

But click "Reveal". This is in fact a book.


I believe that's a fiction/in universe reddit post


The button on the homepage is hardcoded to this book, which I find extremely strange. Why not choose a random book, and why pick such a confusing quote?


I got through an entire day yesterday in massively oversized gym shorts, by simply forming a standard loop, and wrapping it _twice_. That extra friction (the second wrap) has worked for years on shoes, boots, and, very large shorts

I will not be learning a fancy knot because I have no need


Totally absolutely agree with this. The second wrap or second turn totally solved my problem of slipping knots in shorts and shoes. Game over. Chapter closed for me.


The difference is the Ian Loop is adjustable.


What needs adjusting? My waist size is not dynamic.


they're right, we're wrong. look, if you got XXXL shorts on a medium waist and tie an _excellent_ standard knot, and you are very active for a while? those shorts are gonna loosen up for sure

this knot rules, i'm glad i went back and tried it :)


You will....knot ?
