I could never see the need to rebind Ctrl to Caps Lock (and I do use Emacs). Whenever it's time to press Ctrl, I curl my pinky and press that key with my pinky's distal joint. I did, however, swap Fn and the Global key on my Mac.

I think that's reason enough to rebind Ctrl to Caps Lock. I used to do the same, but why go to the trouble when I can remap Caps Lock once and be done with it?

You can't mention Hyperbole and not say how you use it. I did not get past the "include the occasional action button in org-mode" phase.

actually the rules say that no one can ever explain what Hyperbole is for

I once won a power bank in an anonymous raffle at a marketing event of a company that could be imagined as our distant competitor. I voluntarily gave it away to another attendee, because God forbid there's a suspicion of a conflict of interest. But I am clearly a bear of very little brain.


You and me brother. We've lost so many opportunities for having integrity.


Make us three. My lack of ethic flexibility skills really held me back

I have 9+ years of experience as a software engineer and technology-oriented China specialist. Based in Switzerland. I have designed and implemented a large part of internal production systems at a well-known international printing company, and currently develop zero-trust solutions at a Swiss networking company.

I've been engaged with China since 2015. In 2020, I've started a degree in Chinese Studies at the University of Zürich. In 2024, I have finished a scholarship at the BFSU, the best language university in China. I have interpreted between Polish, English and Mandarin Chinese for the Polish Trade & Investment Agency at the Polish-Chinese Economic Forum in Shanghai (see pics on LinkedIn). I also keep tabs on technology and Chinese cybersecurity laws through Chinese sources and keep in touch with open source enthusiasts based in Mainland China and in Taiwan.

There's also `flock`, the CLI utility in util-linux, that allows using flocks in shell scripts.


What are flocks in this context? Surely not a number of sheep...



File locks.


In UNIX/POSIX file locks are advisory, not enforced, it only works if all processes play ball.


Sure, but the discussion is around whether they’re atomic, not whether they’re advisory.


Aren’t flock and POSIX locks backed by totally different systems?


Too late to edit, but it appears that they are per this comment on a different article and the documentation it references: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46607265

Can you expand upon the Roman architecture books?


sure, we went to Rome and I was surprised to find that much of the architecture didn't present as I was expecting. I took a bunch of photos. When I came home I checked out "The Romans: builders of an empire" and then the wife bought me "Roman architecture in 50 monuments" which was really cool. I've subsequently read up on the aqueducts... which are really really cool


谢谢你的文章,太有意思了。这么神秘的故事容易吸引人,万一里面犯了少许语法上的错误,还会有人介意吗?人工智能用起来却可能正事与愿违,让大家质疑你对故事加以过夸张或编造。我建议,第二部不用机器翻译,手动翻译翻译吧。回复人消息,自己写也更好。

Thank you very much for the article, it was super interesting. The mystery in the story draws people in, and people surely won't mind a couple of grammatical mistakes. But you have to watch out: the use of AI makes it easy for people to suspect that the story might've been embellished. For the second part, it might be better to try translating it manually; the same goes for writing replies.


Yes, I will try my best.Thank you.


Your best is more than good enough.

Thank you for sharing your story. It makes the world a better place.


Impressive, not just a new URI scheme, but also a brand-new Internet protocol, all in one concise paper.

Does the IETF have a red fat button on their desks, like the one often seen on variety shows, to instantly disqualify low effort submissions? You can infer that the document (and the interaction between the culprit and the IETF) was half-assed with the help of AI: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/art/ss-g3OHTtwHwyBDl0c....
