in tmux, how do I say: if a session called "foo" exists, join it if it odes not exist, create a session called "foo" with command ~/bin/foo

this works in my shell:

$ tmux attach -t foo || tmux new-session -s foo htop

that's using the shell not tmux for the or logic though

I ended up using:

tmux new-session -A -s foo ~/bin/foo

the -A says "attach if already exists"

also, hypothetically, in a once in a billion care, the above one might have a race condition 🙂

I wonder if anyone has considered this service for this slack: http://slackarchive.io/

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14171985 <-- this is fasicnating; anyone here living out in rural areas? I really miss the trees / fresh air / pristine snow / birds chirping of rural areas, and have no idea why, as a software engineer, I'm in a city.

my neighborhood in chicago has all that stuff, plus coyotes, rabbits, possums, and car alarms.

When I think 'rural', Chicago and car alarms don't come into mind.

obviously you need to expand your horizons! just think of a car as a large strange bird.

I live in a suburb of Denver that's zoned in a way where there is required "wildlife preserves" built into the neighborhood. So while I'm 1.5 miles from Target and other such stores, I still have mule deer, coyotes and raccoons randomly walk through my back-yard. That's the perfect mix in my mind. I grew up in Wisconsin after my parents did the whole "exit the city" thing in the 90's, and frankly I hated it. I like wildlife, but I also like the convenience of a city. And getting decent internet in truely rural areas is hard.

sweet! we don't get mule deer, but we have have had cardinals start their families right outside our windows.

@tbaldridge : If it's not too personal, what is the average # acres / house in your neighborhood ?

Anytime I heard "suburb of BIG_CITY", it's hard to believe it has a rural feel as long as houses as too close together.

@qqq it's 1/4 acre like most places, but what the city planners did was arrange roads fairly spread apart, with houses on each side of the road spaced normally for a city. From there the areas behind the houses are zoned as "wildlife areas" and often used for rain drainage, trees, etc. These areas are a mile or two long, and almost a quarter of a mile wide in places. So yeah, I can see my neighbor's yard, but our yard overlooks this nice area of grass, trees, and wildlife.

that's fairly common in the Denver area because there's so much land that there's no reason to smash all the houses together, but if they give bigger lots with the houses people probably couldn't afford them.

hmm, so: 1: front of house = road 2: left/right of house = neighbors 3: back of house = designed in such a way that it seems like a forest I see, that can give the illusion of "openness" and not "boxed in"
