I... Think you just spoiled me. Somehow I've managed to avoid all information about it so far, but now that you said it's like the last question...

It's on me for procrastinating playing the game for so long, it was bound to happen.


"Similar" is doing substantial work. If this is your only clue, it is likely to mislead you for at least 50% of the game, and I strongly suspect you will have fun anyway :)


IMO it's a good enough game that you could read the entire plot summary and it'd still be a good story & fun game to play. Much like how you can re-read an Agatha Christie novel & still enjoy it, the best stories are spoiler-proof because even when there's a "twist" that "twist" isn't as important to the quality as the rest of the work.


this sorta comes up very very early in the game tho


-links +lynx


`links` is a text mode browser which is more capable than `lynx` and which has graphics support through the framebuffer.


and elinks is better than both of them :))


and w3m if you want support for images


And chawan is better than all of them, even has basic support for CSS and Javascript.


Sometimes I ssh into a server as a specific user (e.g. as the "app" user that is used to run a web app), sometimes only root is available (probably not best practice, but it's not like I can or want to fix it myself).

In any case it's not practical to carry your dotfiles everywhere you go. Changes are also a hassle to propagate


I'm not sure llms produce good documentation. I'm open to hear more opinions on this, my feeling is that the documentation of llm-heavy projects is a bit too verbose, a bit off-target, sometimes completely irrelevant, very repetitive.

Not terrible, but I'll just point my own llm to it instead of reading it myself like I would for an actual great documentation


If you are willing to point your LLM to the docs instead of actually reading it why not skip it and send your LLM directly to the source code? That is what I've been doing recently, and that is why recently good documentation became less important for me.

I work remotely so I had no idea. I'd have thought that unless you're in HR you wouldn't scroll a website whose primary purpose is to look for new jobs.


Much like X, it's what you choose to use it for. Papers are posted, approaches are debated, and loose groups form to align. It's easy to scroll past the pandering, but there is useful stuff in the dross.

But agreed, it is getting harder and harder to dig to the gems.


That is not the primary purpose of LinkedIn though. It is used extensively by a class of people who are generally decision makers and those selling services to them.


IRC bouncers have been a thing since forever, at-least-once isn't a technical problem


There's nothing special about an IRC bouncer. They can still get disconnected or get lost in a netsplit.


What happens to messages when the bouncer is disconnected?


Did you need to add poor? Unless apple isn't catering to the US


Agree on all the points, except 4. There are even people out there who use lynx as their primary browser :)

Although while I usually like tabs for most apps, I don't use tabs for terminal and rely either on window manager or tmux. I guess the difference is that I often want a mix of tabs and having multiple terminals side by side, whereas I don't really need that for a browser (or very seldom)


Which window manager do you use?

Sway had the better, though often tedious, WM tab solution that I've tried. Niri had a useless one.

I really tried to love sway splits and tabs for terminal windows. But I finally admitted I'd rather just alt-tab to a few different terminal apps, each with its own concern (maybe one per project, this one for my remote machine), and best of all, each with its own internal tabs.

That said, tabs in kitty and tmux, for example, are so basic that you don't necessarily lose much if you were to use WM tabs instead.

On the other hand, tabs in iTerm2, Ghostty, Cmux, probably macOS Terminal -- a bit more powerful and intuitive since you can do things like drag them, and they can show info like terminal state. And in some of those apps, they can be displayed vertically which is my favorite.


My favorite is still AwesomeWM, although I haven't used it in years. Nowadays I'm on mac and my "tiling manager" is about 6-7 custom functions I wrote in hammerspoon. Basically just tile left/right, full size, "reasonable" size + centered, and a shortcut that distributes all my apps in the virtual spaces I've assigned to them.

One of the reasons why I use tmux rather than i.e. iterm2 tabs is that I don't have to change any of my habits or learn extra shortcuts when I'm working with ssh.
