I think electrical/phone sockets were placed at that level because many telephones were designed to hang on the wall (docking onto and covering up the faceplate) for easy access. My childhood home had one that we used this way before we got a landline.

This is really cool. What do you think the remaining ~1% is?

Do you have any links to these discussion posts? This sounds very interesting, and I'm intrigued to learn more about the hardware explanation for this phenomenon.

Wow! I actually met Aead last week while he was printing parts for this project (we both work at the same place). Surreal to see it at the top of HN.

Neat tool, I could see this being handy for debugging TUI tools.

I noticed that it works with _escaped_ ESC characters ("\x1b", "\u001b", "\033") but it didn't recognize raw ESC characters that I had in my clipboard. It might be useful to support those (maybe highlight them similarly to how VS Code highlights whitespace characters). The characters show up as numbered unicode error glyphs (I'm on Firefox, if that helps)

This was the neovim plugin that really caused me to stick with it. I've been using this plugin for over a year, after the (short) initial period of frustration with the delays I was able to start really flying with vim motions. Now I can't imagine going back to a regular text editor.

There's a MIT license in both source files, but I added a copy of it to the project root for those that have this constraint. Thanks!

This is super cool. Any insight into how this may have been designed? High-quality, compact hash functions are really useful in C.

I ordered one of these posters a few years ago as a gift for my mom, who is a scientist. Large posters with lots of information to get lost in are always fun. This one does not disappoint!

yep, I started using it when I was 5, so that tracks.

paint.net is one of the only pieces of software that I miss from Windows. After having started with Tux Paint, I found paint.net extremely intuitive and easy to use (very nice for making goofy memes in middle/high school, and quick/easy drawings). I think that even after not having used it for years I am still more productive in it than I am in, say, Photoshop or GIMP.

Have been renting in Boston for two years because I go to school here, I'm renting again next year. It's not uncommon in my zip code for rents to be raised $150-200/bedroom/month every year. The green line is 300ft from my house, yet when I worked downtown, the journey (~3 mi) routinely took 40 minutes or more. The neighborhood I live in has only one store, a Stop and Shop, and it's incredibly expensive, compared to stores in adjacent neighborhoods. Everything just seems overwhelmingly pricey here, and for little actual value.
