He would’ve liked that. He was a real nice guy, always said I had a face for radio.

As my father always said: you may be a funny person, but looks don’t count for everything.

Ah gee dang, you’re right. Thanks!

It’s a quote from a Star Wars show movie.

Form, not function.

And to top it all off, release codenames are Discworld references!

It can be, sure. But when used in a limited manner where it makes sense it can be the more readable option. I’ve used it in a try/catch to retry the operation after changing a variable. One label (“reconnect”), one goto, totally easy to understand on a surface level.

It’s a bit more consumer focused, easier for Grandma kind of thing. Syncthing isn’t hard, but does have in my opinion a bit more difficult of an initial setup with features like introducers that can make things difficult if configured wrong.

The solar eclipse from Monday.

I genuinely had someone stop and ask me why you can’t see the moon during an eclipse because “it’s got light in it right”.

They’re soon to replace our HR manager.

It’s useful for UltraVNC to pass through key combos like alt-tab without triggering them on the local PC.

And yet, this is the issue that gets a response instead of a silent closed offtopic wontfix.

Now if the dev of SyncTrayzor could find and resolve the bug with its tooltips staying up in the top left of the screen I’ll be set for life with syncing.

I don’t have any idea what you’re on about and I want to call you rude.

I use a product that has a homegrown scripting language that enforces two space tabs and will crash with anything else.

“show hn: I made a JavaScript engine in webassembly using rust”

I have a use case in Powershell: my company has a number of scripts that are minimally but importantly customized per-location, and I have an otherwise unused “SiteId” variable where I keep the location name for that specific script for a quick sanity check when I’m looking them over for any reason. Not necessary, but useful to me. Probably wouldn’t do the same thing in a compiled program, but I can at least see where someone might want something similar.

Yeah, you used to have to get satellite for that to be an issue.

Why wait? Press the talk to God button until it says “login successful”!
