lol, still remember my icq number by heart: 5479339

Is Oregon leading the US fentanyl crisis? At a glance, it doesn’t look like it. Has West Virginia decriminalized as well?

Workloads with a lot of files, for example a large elixir web app with hot reload / fswatch enabled, have upwards of 20 second page load time. More than enough to mess up my flow.

Fun bit of history: Jamie Zawinski thinks he may have invented html email while at Netscape [0].

It might be worth pointing out that JWZ doesn’t like HN and redirects any referrals to an interesting image, in case you were thinking of clicking on that directly instead of copying and pasting.

Maybe @dang should just change it so links to jwz.org aren't clickable? It would force us to copy-paste.

Why is it HN's job to fix someone else's breakage of the web's standard behavior?

It's not. But that doesn't mean we can't try to avoid the issue. For example, stores aren't required to use time delay safes (and other robbing counter-measures). After all, robbery is illegal, but they still probably should install them.

Eh, let people learn about JWZ's distaste for HN and the iconic picture of a hairy testicle in an eggcup. It's childish but harmless fun. The Internet has been sanitised enough already.

i use bc just about every day, thank you!!!

Is facebook being down causing hacker news to get the hug of death??

First thing I’m wondering is how much garbage collection impacts the sequence timing. Love to see midi tools!

Reminds me of a coworker many years ago who wrote a script he called bash-reduce. Turned out not to be so simple in practice ;)

Great library, gets out of the way while preventing common mistakes. makes my work easier. Thank you gajus!!!

I learned so much from this article about how memory works when I was starting out, thanks phrack!
