I thought it was just me disliking this types of readmes. Is this aislop or are people actually wasting time to paste all those emojis everywhere? It is like we are going back to hieroglyphs -- I swear if I see another rocket launch...

Vim 9.1 Released 3 years ago

This is so bittersweet. First release without Bram, but his legacy is continued by his peers.

I am a university professor teaching Operating Systems based on the Dinosaur book. I always use the authos' slides to which I add my own notes and extra/missing concepts.

My colleagues from other universities here do exactly what you say, they do their own summary which is an effort I also don't understand.

The only moment when I felt I needed to do my own slides was with the pandemic online courses that refrained me from using the whiteboards in the amphitheater. But in the end the graphical tablet saved me from that.

IPython 8.0 5 years ago

Exactly! So I end up always restarting to be sure that I don't waste time chasing already-fixed-bugs.

IPython 8.0 5 years ago

Thank you very much for your efforts! I haven't seen this mentioned in the release notes, but does this fix the remaining automatic module reload issues? Do I still have to restart IPython whenever I modify a module?

Nano 5.7 5 years ago

I love the release motto in Romanian and what it references!

On topic (sic!): Hardcore vim-user, loving and recommending nano to every new Unix user. Guess I'm schizophrenic according to current HN comments.

Let's hope your office is secure since your security model relies on preventing physical access.

It doesn't have to be physical. I can just store documents on a server that I own and have control over. That still doesn't make it secure because I have to watchout for 0-days and what not. And even then it wouldn't be secure.

But at least I have controllability and observability. I can access and modify them anytime I want to and I also know when someone had unauthorized access to them.

Of course this is not entirely true in Mission Impossible like scenarios. And I'm not saying everyone should do what I do.

But I profundly dislike the superior attitude in articles such as these where the author tells me what to do and asks me why I'm not doing it yet.

I'm sorry to break the eco-parade, but this just doesn't fit with my work. At all.

I wouldn't put my company's documents in the cloud. Google, are you kidding me? Then again most of my work is security orientated. So my experience might differ.

Second, as a developer, I wouldn't give-up pen and paper for doing mathematics and for doodling algorithms and attempts at solving daily problems. I tried to do it on the computer a lot of times but it's just a waste of time and I always end-up focusing on the tools rather on the problem at hand.

From my experience these paperless speeches come from SUV drivers that read about it in this months Corporate Magazine's issue.

Now, unleash the downvotes!

``By "Desktop" - though, I mean users who are planning on downloading/installing various productivity utilities, applications, etc... to do their job.''

I think the average user could be satisfied with what's available on OpenBSD. The only bummer is flash.

``Creating Reports, Slide Decks, PDFs, Spreadsheets, charts, diagrams[...]''

LibreOffice is available on OpenBSD.

``IM apps''

Pidgin and a ton of other clients are available.

``Skype''

It used to work a few releases ago, I don't know if it still does now.

`` - whatever random app they want to use to do their Job.''

Yes, if you compare it to Windows in that regard then it's at a loss. But if you compare it to Liunx I'd say it's up to par.

The problem is that it's getting harder to keep up to date, which is what Marc is trying to explain in his email to tech@.

Yes it has, just to name a few:

kernel: Wireless drivers, aslr, pf etc. userland: ssh, ntpd, carp, bgpd etc.

The ports system is for developers only. Not recommended for end-users. Binary packages are the way to go. It's emphasized in the FAQ multiple times and also across most tutorials and mailing lists.

So your statement is just uneducated and ignorant.

``Mouse free environment'' is a retarded concept.

And that book doesn't understand anything about tmux and why it came about.
