Ryan, take your pills.

On imgcat, those extensions to the xterm protocol[0] seem really nice. I've long thought that there needs to be a simple escape sequence for a horizontal divider that doesn't break upon resizing, they should do that next!
Also check out tiv[1] which is an alternative that works with any unicode terminal.

Why is Discord always ignored in discussions of slack alternatives? It's literally a slack clone. Are you all just put off by the marketing or the fact that it's not exclusively used by 'professionals'?

Wait, what was your point here? That women actually are wonderful?

I was just about to ask HN to come up with some communication devices using only ancient technology.
Although your rubber duck system would require less manpower than a system of signal fires, it would be MUCH slower, and probably even slower than the chains of horse riders that delivered messages Pony Express-style across the Roman Empire. In an emergency, a message could be transferred over 100 miles a day.

This isn't even a strange adapter, I'd be surprised if this didn't exist. Why not get excited about cassette tape to 3.5mm adapters (very real and also very useful)?

If I were feeling pedantic I'd mention the universities of Oxford, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen... As well as a handful in Spain and Portugal ;)

>This was the last straw that made me delete the app and my account entirely a few years ago.
Why not just disable notifications, or just uninstall the app without deleting your account? Facebook can still be of use to you without you being of use to it.
I've long used Facebook only for messaging and managing events because it's an effective and ubiquitous platform for both of these things.

I wish to share the world's foremost authority on chairs, Bryan Ropar

Yeah, I'm sure that kind of thing could be shared privately by email between the relevant parties

It's worth mentioning that nearly every board on 8chan IS moderated, by the board owners. Its exactly the same as the Reddit model, paid admins only enforce the few site wide rules and board owners are left to moderate their boards however they see fit. That might be heavy or light moderation, but if people are upset with the moderation style they just make another board.

{} would at least be consistent with python string substitution, but [] doesn't make much sense to me

Have you ever tried to seek treatment for depression? I and others I know have found it incredibly hard to get any sort of treatment other than the SSRI at the top of their list.

An alternative would be to throttle your network speed to like 2g with your dev tools, although this will obviously effect, say, YouTube more than HN

4chan partially solved this problem by using inside knowledge to identify 'newf*gs' and push them out. Triforce, fingerboxes, etc. The weirdly complex boardculture was self sustaining because new people couldn't even keep up with the conversation without lurking for a year or so.
And then of course, the newcomers started taking the abrasive and politically incorrect culture at face value.
