The title is misleading. Every story has a complaint about the title not conveying enough information, thereby forcing the reader to RTFA (or at least click on the link).

I think a lot of people here are missing the point of 'sl', 'gti' et al. They're practical jokes, not training aids. Of course you can alias 'sl' to 'ls'! Of course some shells are smart enough to DWIM! 'sl' is there so we can watch the

When I went to high school the cards were sorted manually. On our first day of school we were given a stack of IBM cards, punched with our student information. We would give one to each teacher when we reported to our first class. At the

I really like the idea of allowing the student to take a year instead of a semester, with the deadlines adjusted accordingly. This seems like a good alternative to "dumbing it down" to accommodate those of us who don't have the time or who

If you and I were to get together and agree on a certain aesthetic, and then we were to declare people who agreed with our aesthetic "experts", and then we were to test random people against our set of experts, our experts would agree with

There is at least some evidence that an expensive bottle of wine tastes better because it's expensive. When the cost of the wine is unknown to the taster, the differences disappear.[1] And, when a wine is presented to the taster as exp

Except that Chomsky is not completely unrelated, as your examples are. Ayyadurai is a colleague of Chomsky. Ayyadurai was a student of Chomsky close to to the time in question. Ayyadurai's claim centers around the semantics of the term "

Ugh. The guy maps a bunch of global keybindings, including hippie-expand and ibuffer, loads a low contrast color scheme as default, but still has the temerity to write: "I firmly believe that the one true way to use Emacs is by using it th
