A little discussion back in 2016¹. I find the general idea really appealing, in much the same way I'm pulled toward ii IRC client² from the suckless folk. It just feels right, even if other tools feel better. ¹ https://

Seeing the stories with comments comparing the RFC-3339 and ISO-8601, this feels like a good time to point to Markus Kuhn's excellent summary of the standard. It is a great introduction for people who are only familiar with the YYYY-M

Hmm, so they do. I just found a couple of WMO bunkers near-ish to me that have been for sale recent(ish)ly. £20k guide prices seem strangely cheap. http://www.upfs.co.uk/property/ukwmo-ashwell-hertfodshire/ htt

Sorry for the confusion, mutt is a MUA¹. It is too easy to assume people have the same acronym background :/ I'm surprised your post didn't get more traction, the general idea fixes a pain point I've heard people compla

Having long resorted to only reading issues in my MUA because t-prot¹ can fix some of the awfulness, I like this. [Crosses fingers to get buy-in from stakeholders to enable it in shared projects.] ¹ http://www.escape.de/~t

Presumably GitHub's search page wasn't the intended link. The mailing list has some info¹, but there is probably a better link somewhere. Edit : The PR discussion linked in the email is an interesting look in to the processes

My level of cynicism at this point is so high that I'd assume we'd be forced to add narratives to papers until they resemble the five-thousand word life story you find tacked on to a recipe to escape the "just a list"

Oh, I had absolutely no idea about that. I naively assumed the current number row was original. You've sent me down a rabbit hole that so far includes using f and L to produce a £ too, thanks! For others like me the qwerty page¹ has

What is the keyboard in your photo? The lack of oversized keys has me confused. Also, love that it is a 3,284,741 byte image of a ZX81. And the ,/< because -- presumably -- a dog ate your 1 ;)

My inner devil opened this discussion just to read the comments. The comments on the linked article filled my lunchtime fun quota instead. You can also read about the sale on The Guardian¹ without a paywall. ¹ https://www.thegua

Again this personal experience only, but one of the projects I'm linked to is a greenfields Ada project. However, you'd be correct to say there are an awful lot of multi-decade projects in both the companies I mentioned(and the

From my experience, it still gets a lot of use in aerospace and defence companies. Outside of those industries I can't think of people even mentioning it really, but again probably biases abound. Skimming my local jobs list(SE England

Drew Neil's Modern Vim is also wonderful. While it introduces a lot of plugins in an attempt to modernize the experience, it also includes some excellent notes on standard features(qf/sessions/etc). I'll also note it co

The pijul manual has a few comments about the differences¹ at a high level. The paper itself has a few comments too, if you scan for the paragraphs around the string "[10]" which is the reference for Roundy's work. ¹ http

This is awful¹, I love it! Thumbing through the code made me wonder what the zsh(my normal shell) implementation feels like, and I think it is fair to say your code is easier to wrap your head around than the documentation for floats in
