Keep coming. I still have Karma you can down vote. It just shows how shitty this project is.

The documentation doesn't say this, but apparently, after you start mosh-server, it dies if there is no incoming request within 60 seconds. What is the point of the server if it is just going to quit after 60 seconds?

Keep down voting me as you like. The fact remains that Mosh is crap. If it works, it should just work. Otherwise, it is just crap.

I encourage people to uninstall mosh

on Ubuntu, sudo apt-get autoremove mosh

on Mac with MacPort, sudo port uninstall mosh

Well, same here. Obviously, the developer is on here trolling, down voting people for dissing their crappy project

For someone coming from other language background, including C#, JavaScript, Ruby, I find PHP absolutely unconventional, odd, unexpected, and inconsistent.

This is not a language, where you expect intuitively on what method to call unless you do a StackOverFlow search on existing problems, raised by others like me.

Yet, I currently develop a web app on PHP. Certainly, I can't wait to move over to Ruby or other languages in my next project.

The author is stating the obvious. But he/she has every right to do so, because PHP is simply not user friendly enough to programmer. If PHP truly targets non-programmer, they totally succeed in their goal.

No kidding. Too bad they don't have good documentation on server installation (just client)

That does not work. It seems to me that you need to install mosh server, which doesn't have much documentation at this moment.

I just installed the mosh client, and replacing ssh with mosh command alone doesn't work. By not working, I meant the error message is "/opt/local/bin/mosh: Did not find mosh server startup message."

Octave is pretty awesome. There is also R. Personally, I also do a lot of computing within interactive programming console (like irb, php -a, node). However, if you are doing symbolic expression, you can't go wrong with Octave

I no longer have a TI-89, but I recall there is a way to turn on text typing mode. If you want fully size keyboard, you may want to look into TI-92.

Maybe in Asia, this "taking care of elderly" mentality is strong. Here in States, I actually think that you are on your own is more true. You can't depend on your kids to take care of you. If you do, you can still end up being on the street.

In my view, kids are not investment. They take out much resources from you, and you do so willingly because you love them. As they get older, they may or may not show appreciation, depends on your relationship with them.

Kids are cool to have? Nah, I have too much emotional burden to even become a father figure. It is a lot of responsibility, and I bet the joy of having kids is priceless. Cool? not so much.

The experience of iOS 5 on iPhone 4 is pretty shitty so say the least until I figured out the culprit is iCloud. Some symptoms with iCloud enabled, include but not limited to, random screen freezes, random login freezes, and application switching freezes. Just lots of freezes thanks to iCloud

I wanted to make a purchase, but your web site is turning into a perfect infinite loop to PayPal. It just keeps trying to forward me to PayPal, abort, retry..abort..retry

Fix your code and you get the money?

I am almost sold, until I read that it only does WEP cracking... For $500+, WPA2 crack at minimum...

One little thing I should point out about the UI design is that there is a fine balance & trade off between visual effects and performance. Often times, it is also quite subjective.

Take Vista and Windows 7 for example, you see the aero Window edge is roundish (especially top two corners). Now take look at Windows 8, as it is pretty edge, not round at all. Do you know why? It is really because Windows team used at least 5 rectangles, all stacked together to form that roundness for Vista & 7. That means it is more GPU cycle time to draw these duplicated rectangles to give such pretty illusion. With Windows 8, I do welcome the edge/sharp corners, feel more clean and snappy.

Vapid or not, everyone is entitled to their opinions. If you can't accept that, you are not welcome on HN discussion either. End of story.

Simply stated, if HN is heading towards Reddit-like behavior where comments must gear towards "singular" minded thinking, that's the also the day I stop visiting this site.

Well, you can pretty much imagine how it went down. FBI caught up to him with threats like "eh..you are unemployed, and you still have two kids. You want to see them in foster care system?" ... well, no surprise there. too many buttons that FBI can push on this guy

No, if you pay good money for something, you expect the product has good feature to pamper its user. It is more true with a car where if you pay good money for a car, the car should take care of you more than the other way around. If not, it is not worth the money to buy in the first place.

Your way of reasoning is pretty much the same as when iPhone 4 first came out. You pay good money for something that shatters easily. At least, in iPhone case, Apple came out, admitted faults and tried to make its user happy.

The point is that the cost of repair an EV seems way more than a fuel-injected vehicle. It has nothing to do with stupidity

One key issue that Tesla PR accidentally omits is whether owners are still responsible for 40K replacement if battery does indeed fail.

40K replacement basically tells user that go get a gas-powered car. If a fuel-injected engine fails, would it still cost just as much to replace? How about a BMW? or Mercedes? or Lexus?
