__DarkBlue | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Which is better tmux or screen?
Same here. I use screen mostly because it's generally available, whereas tmux usually has to be installed.

You're very welcome. :-)

Blocking at the firewall works best for me. If any OS X users want to know how, I've covered it here: https://www.perpetual-beta.org/weblog/blocking-facebook-on-o...

Splash screen? So '80s.
Looks pretty, but I gave up after one screen change due to the horrible navigation control.
I can only ask... why?

Great idea.

It's great that you managed to get cron working the way you wanted. However, I'm curious, why not just put your Vim settings on Dropbox or something like BitTorrentSync - then alias your local settings/configs on each machine to the corresponding file/folder in your Dropbox?
I use this method for all settings and configs that I wish to share across multiple machines. Personally I find it more manageable than any other solution, and certainly less convoluted than "multiple rounds of ssh duncan@some-server... git pull origin master".

I started in 1981 - damn, that makes me feel old.

Cool. I didn't know that.

I'm ashamed to admit that it took me a while to figure out what the "hamburger button" is. Never heard it called that before. :-)

I'd prefer a browser option myself too. But, this is what we've got for now.

I've been with SDF for years. I cut my Unix teeth on their servers. They're a fantastic host and I am very impressed that their "Meta Array" coped with the influx of HN traffic without skipping a beat. I've been periodically checking the site, with an empty cache, while this link was on the HN front page and page delivery was consistently sub-1s. Theirs is extremely cheap hosting too. I have nothing but praise for the SDF.

That makes sense, the key is only recognised by the Mobile Safari on the iPhone.

Certainly true of the ad's. But, IMHO, it's designers who seem to love the infinite scrolling and other gimmickry.

I think this only applies to the iPhone. I don't think it has any affect on the iPad Mini.

"this cannot be done programmatically" - are you sure about that? I think any half-decent programmer would be able to do this programmatically. A simple logic condition (if-then-else) should cover it.

Yes, this applies to the iPhone only according to the release notes.
