I'm at 87%. How would you classify Turquoise (`#40e0d0`) and Dark Turqoise (`#00CED1`)?

"Your boundary is at hue 181, bluer than 87% of the population.

For you, turquoise is green."

Took it 3 times (90%, 85%, 87%). At least, I now know why sometimes I'm surprised that people call green things blue :)

To be honest, there should have been a "neither" category, because that was frustrating to classify a color that is clearly neither. But I understand the need for a binary choice for this experiment.

Turquoise `#40E0D0 ` feels green to me, while Dark Turquoise `#00CED1` , I can agree to consider as blue.


The Goldtouch split keyboards worked wonders for me.


I have "Shift space" remapped to underscore as that was my biggest annoyance. The rest I've made peace with (though not ergonomic).


It's Option Shift "-" for the em-dash. Option "-" is the en-dash.


Fun comments for re-writing sudo in Zig:

> Zig doesn't have traits. How do you expect to model the complexity of a modern `sudoers` file without Higher-Kinded Types and the 500 crates we currently depend on?

> Also, `unsafe` in Rust is better than "trust me bro" in Zig. If you switch, the borrow checker gods will be angry.

This got me a chuckle.

I had these same concerns for a while. Earlier this year, I turned on IPv6 and run a dual stack on my home network (my mac is browsing HN via IPv6.)

Do you remember what sites didn't load for you?


I run `stty -ixon -ixoff` once and that fixes the issue for me.


That's a different flow control than what I'm talking about. tmux is just overwhelmed and cannot keep up with the output from tar whereas screen takes care of it and still responds to user input. Frankly I'm amazed there's only one or two posts about this on the internet as there's more than the pathological linux tarball extract where this problem will lock up tmux.


yes, this sucks but i have never myself been able to find a reliable case where screen reacts any better than tmux (for example, both behave similarly with yes(1))

the c0-* stuff is poor (i'm tempted to remove it) but it is not an easy problem to solve, people want tmux to be fast, except when they don't. it's also tricky remotely where ssh and the network stack are buffering too


Some thoughts: VMs are an interesting case. Someone with the motive and means would have exploits to get out of the VM. This is probably easier if the guest is running something to accelerate (e.g. VMWare Tools / VirtualBox Guest Additions.) Once you get out, you have to account for the host OS. Assuming you could do it, how does one determine if the VM is part of a honeypot or the target?


Not really. Consider how many hypervisors are there really to exploit from a virtual OS?

Maybe four.

HyperV, KVM, ESX, what you mentioned, etc...

But really, 3 vendors - Oracle, Microsoft, and VMWare covers the majority.

Way fewer virtualization technologies (mainstream) than hard drive firmwares.
