You might have skimmed over the rest of the parent comment. The second paragraph clearly states a liking for things of this sort.

Completely agree.

...maybe? I dunno, I’m just a vim guy.
senorprogrammer | 7 years ago | on: WTF: A personal information dashboard for your terminal
Both very interesting ideas indeed.

Tab key to move between selectable panes. Forward-slash (/) on any selectable pane to open the help.
Note that not all panes are selectable and quite possibly not all selectable panes have help (they should but...)

I'll take a look, thanks.

Got a good pointer to more details? I don't know anything about that spec.

Anyone wanting to do something like you describe in the menubar should check out Hammerspoon. Brilliant stuff.

Yep, that's exactly how I work with it.

You can write your own modules, you'll just need to fork the repo and write them in Go. There's no DSL for it.
Good idea about the config. I'll create a feature issue for it.

In the config.yml file can define the column and row sizes to whichever screen size you like. No reason it couldn't work with those dimensions. Take a look at simple_config.yml in the repo.

I use BambooHR, I don't currently use Jenkins.

FYI: installer auto-downloads but doesn't do any OS detection. Looks like this is Windows-only.

A minor point: a fire-proof safe is not absolutely heat-proof. Put one in a fire, and it will heat up inside. Better ones also tend to release water vapour into the safe itself when heated (as a mechanism for keeping the internal temperature down and providing a positive pressure for keeping smoke, fire, and particulate out), which isn't great for hard drives either. I wouldn't rely on an on-premisis safe to prove any data integrity guarantees against anything but petty theft.

As someone who used to work in the IFE software field, I can assure you these systems are perfectly capable of crashing themselves in endless loops without any outside help from the likes of us, thank you very much. ;)

That's a great clarification. Thanks for that!
I'd argue that while it may technically not be "criminal punishment", that is ultimately the final outcome. People for whom a criminal conviction cannot be guaranteed are instead "punished" by having their goods taken. However IANAL, and that is simply my perception of the effect.

> mathematics works by people guessing rules and then checking them
This will sound facetious, but I suspect many people treat great swathes of life this way. My wife has a friend who tries any random googled herb-based cure any time she gets ill. Recovery from this illness, this cold or flu, is always taken as proof of the validity of the cure, regardless of how long she's had to ingest it.
You, reading this, have already thought of half a dozen ways to disprove her cures, as have I, however no amount of evidence can assuage this need to believe. At this point my theory is that this belief forms an intractable part of her personal identity.
At the core of all of this, and perhaps for these "autodidact physicists" as well, seems to be a very primal need to understand the universe in terms comprehendible one's self, regardless the cost.

I'd argue the fundamental problem is that 'civil forfeiture' is 'guilty until proven innocent', an inversion of the way the rule of law is meant to work.
Requiring charges is a very small step in the right direction. I suspect what will happen is that people with money will now be charged for small, ridiculous offences, misdemeanours, as a way for law enforcement to skirt the law.
A real improvement is to seize, hold, require conviction, and then enforce forfeiture. If a conviction cannot be made, the forfeiture should be invalidated.

For me it seemed to correlate directly with the birth of my son. My theory is that his birth, the emotions of it, the sleep deprivation, and the neuro-chemical onslaught that most likely happened during that same time (it was easily the most emotional period of my life), have fundamentally rewired my brain to be more emotionally reactive (my wife would balk if I used the term "sensitive").
It's a good thing.
