   I once had a vexing problem with my old Intel MacBook — macOS failed to boot, but Windows seemed totally normal. Can't possibly be a hardware failure, right? The symptoms disappeared after replacing the SATA cable!

   I'm not sure how impressed I should feel about saving 45 MiB these days.

   I would log a warning when an attempt fails, and an error when the final attempt fails.

   I shudder to think what capability the execute bit would grant.

   It would be more plausibly practical if GHC could now target wasm, but this announcement is actually about being able to run the compiler itself in the browser.

   I have burned git into my brain, so it's no longer hard to me. OTOH, I only pull out jq once every six months or so, and I just barely scrape by every time.

    As demonstrated in the article, you can compute clamp(x, min, max) with straight-line code.

    I also do this sort of restless refactoring. I find interacting with a new codebase is a kind of brain hack that (subjectively) helps me get up to speed faster.

    Well... "TM Signal" was just in the news. It's close enough I bet it could fool some percentage of otherwise security-conscious users. https://www.wired.com/story/tm-signal-telemessage-plaintext-...

    Do phones have trusted execution environments? I suppose you could require the recipient provide attestation that it's running the expected binary. Of course, this is pointless if the hardware manufacturer shares their root keys with t

    Oh, I know it's explained in the man page. I read it every time and promptly forget because I can't internalize the choice of notation.

    I always want to reach for `units`, but I'm perennially baffled by the output! What's up with the * and /?

    I agree the law should attempt to be specific, but I have to point out that this is still quite ambiguous! Is it permissible to dictate/listen to text messages on my handheld smartphone, so long as I don't hold it in my hand? Can

    Surely you don't believe that there's a significant fraction of tech jobs that pay $500k?

    I thought TRAMP overrides that setting in your SSH config. > TRAMP uses the ControlMaster=auto OpenSSH option by default, if possible. However, it overwrites ControlPath settings when initiating ssh sessions. TRAMP does this to fend off

    I "purchased" a digital game once on the PlayStation Store. It wasn't clear from the description that it was completely useless without an active subscription to PSN, so I tried to return it. They said no way, sales are final

    I think over the course of 3+ years, that keyboard probably wasted at least 30 minutes of my life.

    I love org-mode, but if I were king, it would accept freakin' back-quotes for monospaced text. Instead, it takes ~tilde~ or =equals=, and I will never remember the difference no matter how many times I look it up.

    I just "lustrated" [0] my Debian Stable machine onto NixOS on Friday, and it's gone surprisingly well! It sounds silly, but I installed this way because I didn't want to figure out how to mount my LVM + LUKS encrypted pa
