That Bash script looks a little irky…just imagine more than one level of directories, and `` is both none-portable and overly ugly, at least compared with $()…not to mention that Shell expansion (for i in $basedir/⁕.{c,h}) should work equal

I guess, yes, but I don’t particularly like Dropbox and don’t see the need for syncing at the moment anyways. And for my passwords text file - org-mode (and epa) come with Emacs in Debian main, 1Password doesn’t seem to be there :)

I don’t know 95% of my passwords. Opera does, though, and so does a little encrypted text file somewhere on my harddrive. And neither of the two mind if my passwords are all of the form GgSGlIXrPE1IrbhgWFBU. Of course, I only use one comput

I guess you could buffer the selections in a temporary file and upload it to Google with a cronjob or something…

"$*" is probably more likely what you want, and throwing in an extra "--" prevents it from choking on arguments that start with a dash.

That’s actually yet another reason why you want to use LaTeX and then send your friends PDFs – or, if you’re feeling very lucky, the bare .tex and get back patches...does anybody have their CV in a public git repository?

To tell anybody ‘I AM ISP A’ you will have to connect physically to some ISP C. C will then (hopefully) check you and if you go ‘I AM ISP A’ he’ll ignore you and don’t tell anyone unless you’re really ISP A and he determined you to be this

If eggs were previously stored ‘up to a year’ (p. 2, § 3), then I wouldn’t be surprised if they were also shipped halfway across the world if there was a sufficient difference in price…

I rather understood the original link to offer that dichotomy in the last sentence of the third paragraph: ‘Taking away features can be so much harder than adding features, but subtracting often creates the most value for your users.’. But,

No. But I wouldn’t want some UI designer to remove the ‘SM feature’ entirely simply because he thinks that it’s barely used and only clutters the UI. The user has to choose the right tool for the right job and as a designer it is your job t

The difference is in simplifying the UI versus taking features away. The former is perfectly fine, the best UIs (in my opinion) don’t exist/are perfectly invisible. However, taking features away in order to ‘simplify the UI’ is the wrong ap

This makes some good point, except for (at least) one: > 3. Simplify your UI. > […] Taking away features can be so much harder than adding features, > but subtracting often creates the most value for your users. Re

"on first pageview" at least seems to imply that you can scroll at all. On Opera (with Ghostery and AdBlock), it doesn’t work at all and I can read as far as ‘you can drop by the Palliate’. So, uh, it's a great article, albeit a little shor

I still don’t quite understand why they litter one’s $HOME with this – creating a small setuid binary that checks the signature of a given .deb and then installs said Debian package system-wide, plus keeping certificates of purchase in one’

I don’t think my N9 is less fun to tinker with just because it is mostly a ‘media consumption device’ and given appropriate support (i.e. SDK and all such things), it’s not even harder to tinker with it than with the OS on my laptop. I woul

I probably missed something, but where exactly in this process did they verify anything? It appears the person-to-be-verified was told how to tweet and asked for a phone number…and that was it? How is this ‘verification’ in any possible sen

It depends on the ‘level’ at which you employ this creativity. To me, neither coding nor writing requires much creativity at a very low level (think inside a function or a paragraph), but it does require creativity as much as the ability to

Postfix’s reject_invalid_helo_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname, and reject_unknown_helo_hostname really work wonders for me – but then it is only a small server with 1.5 users and a total of about 300 delivery attempts a day (85% rej

I didn’t get any spam either, but then a short grep through my mail.log showed this: 2013-02-28T18:05:18.865406+01:00 nfc postfix/smtpd[14995]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from bl14-172-78.dsl.telepac.pt[85.247.172.78]: 504 5.5.2 <discus&
