San Fran is just reverting back to San Fran pre tech bro era, and the gentrimmigrants are baffled. It's interesting to see so much 'the city is changing' type messaging when this is just how San Fran has always been. Thanks f

String literals in C are simply a pointer to an array of bytes (generally speaking), and that's how they should be treated. Considering them as strings in the HLL sense is the entire issue here.

Once you know regex well enough to replace regex you realize that regex is pretty well developed. There are certainly cases where different parsing methods/grammars are a better fit, but regex shines in many places.

If your fs already supports snapshots/versioning it might be convenient, but it doesn't solve the actual hard part which generally comes after changes have been merged upstream. If we're only concerned with local changes I&#x

FPAT will get you pretty far, for instances where FPAT doesn't quite cut it gawk-csv is included in gawkextlib.

You can get pretty far with FPAT, and as mentioned elsewhere, gawkextlib is available when FPAT doesn't quite cut it.

There are plenty of valid criticisms of CA, but you're clearly suffering from an advanced case of Murdoch brain worms. Please show us on the doll where CA touched you ;)

I have a fairly extensive emacs config, and for the most part I am still using the default keybinds. I find the readline bindings to be ergonomic and easy to use. Assuming average case, most of the complaints in this thread can be solved by

Although I mainly stick with curl or requests due to muscle memory, there's also restclient.el https://github.com/pashky/restclient.el . I imagine having builtin org support is super convenient, thanks for sharing.

What is the difference between `exiftool --image image.jpeg --remove` and `exiftool -all= image.jpeg`? It sounds like there is a benefit in adding the `--remove` flag but it's not clear to me what it is. Thanks!

by b5n 4y ago
How does this differ from `exiftool -all= image.jpeg`? Would it actually _remove_ the data rather than overwriting it? The difference isn't apparent to me from the parent comment or skimming the exifcleaner site/readme.

'freely' is being a bit generous, they're all destined for the slaughterhouse or glue factory. Dairy cows are routinely bred to keep them producing milk and their calves taken away for other purposes such as veal.

With such a dismissive attitude towards the first item on 'the list' it's hard to believe there would be any benefit to engaging you further on the subject.

Depends on how you define 'user-hostile'. There's already a link to the non-free image on the current installation page, and I wouldn't consider respecting your freedoms as hostile.
