emotion note: JNRowe heavily suspires I was going to say that cal on Linux correctly displays the weird year, then I ran "cal 9 1752" and thought I had misremembered. Five minutes in to the rabbit hole says Debian uses bsdmainut

Have you considered using the jamessan's vim-gnupg plugin¹? It handles all of the grunt work for you, and has been exposed to people for a long time(packaged in Debian and such). For example, I spotted you don't disable undofile,

Hmm, I'm not sure what this provides over the built-in thesaurus support¹. Perhaps, the README could include a little comparison? ¹ http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/insert.html#i_CTRL-X_C...

emacs can be a surprisingly comfortable text mode epub reader too, via nov.el¹ which has been discussed here². If you use a GUI emacs build you get inline images and other goodies, but starting emacs with -nw can be a reasonable solution f

You don't have to choose glob&loop or find&xargs as a zsh user, as there is a built-in zargs function: zargs -- $crazy_glob -- $command Much like the `find | xargs` version you can begin with `zargs -- $glob` until your

Yeah, I was impressed enough to fill out the feedback form at the end. It is probably the first time I've used a feedback form for compliments in my life.

I'd probably like to see powershell usage increase too, but I think we may be in the minority. Every time it comes up I check to see if it is available in Debian and see that the packaging bug¹ has been open for years without anyone c

Beyond agreeing with jjgreen on start small… For motivation: I know it is trite, but The Seinfeld Calendar¹ can be a really useful method to train yourself. If you're an org-mode user org-habit² is an excellent solution for the same t

Fell in to this rabbit hole a little earlier, so I'll try to drag you in as well. If you switch languages on Wikipedia the list grows a whole lot ¹. FWIW, I've only ever seen one local note in the UK and that was on somebody&#x2

Being able to switch to Genie on a whim is great¹. I've used vala on a few projects, and depending on the devs involved or type of project the ability to choose a syntax is really useful. Although, quickly scanning through the GitHub

Not GP, but I presume they're talking about alternative currencies¹. Things like the Ehki in Bilbao or Eusko across the border in Basque France. I'm picking those two on purpose because they make a point about it sometimes sim

The UNIX-HATERS Handbook¹ may be a good place to start for a historical perspective, as are the hundreds of comments that land when it has come here²³. A bunch of the comments in the HN postings are from the authors of the essays in the bo

In France, so "meuh" ;) I think a few of the French animal onomatopoeia feel more correct to me than their English counterparts. For example, I can't unhear coin-coin with ducks any more than I can unsee The Moon Rabbit¹.

Using "unset zle_bracketed_paste" should do what you want, but I've only tried it in rxvt-unicode and the vte-based term I have. It stops zsh reacting to the escape sequences used by multi-line paste, see the docs for a fu
