AnySoftKeyboard on the surface seems cool, however, they've overloaded it with unnecessary characters. When I tried it, I had English selected and yet somehow it has characters that are _never_ used in English. That's not necessar

I don't think people think that NSA doesn't have backdoor access in Linux. But I think there's a huge difference between the maintainers purposefully implemented a backdoor for the NSA, and the NSA found exploits to gain back

Sure, so I have tracking protection too both through uBlock Origin, and Firefox' tracking protection feature. Yet, here you are, bypassing my tracking protections.

Personally I wouldn't deploy the lambda code with the terraform. They inherently have different life cycles. In an ideal scenario you deploy some dummy code with terraform (just a hello world). And as a separate pipeline you deploy the

Dolt has peaked my interest to say the least. Would love to know the story behind it, and also what are the use cases for it? By the way, I can't click your about page, or the menu button (Firefox android). It just refreshes the page a

Why is mac on ec2 so expensive? This is a genuine question, I'm not being snobby or anything like that.

This is nonsensical. Apple is a hardware company before they are software. In addition, they would have to provide support for the software running on hardware that they don't know, understand or whatever else. It would have been more

Now do https. I get not using curl is a cool and fun challenge, but outside that, there's very little reason to not just rely on curl.

Windows based containers do exist. Docker for Windows can run both Linux (a VM) and Windows applications. If I'm not mistaken, both are implemented via HyperV.

This seems really interesting. A somewhat related project is x11docker[0] which attempts to make it easier to run gui applications through docker. It works pretty well with docker, though I've not used it since I switched to podman as

I've not done nearly enough multithreaded programming, so this may be out of my depth, and what I'm saying and asking maybe completely wrong. Isn't async by design more efficient even when you have multiple threads you can sp

No, I don't think POSIX is as necessary as many people make it out to be, because it really depends on your use case. I've always been able to rely on bash both professionally and in my own projects. I am however aware of people w

I think this is key. In my dot files, I take advantage of all the zsh features if I need to. But when I write a script that's meant to be executed rather than sourced, I aim to use posix wherever possible, and fall back to bash if it&#

I'm not validating a bad decision. I'm saying that we don't know anything about why he made that decision, and until we do, we have no right to judge him for it.

It sounds dumb to you (and to me for that matter), but plenty of people have made a lot money like that (and plenty who have lost it). Regardless, neither me, you, or the down voted commenter are in a position to tell him he's dumb for

This is one of very few reasons why having centralised banks is going to be necessary. Whether the pros of having banks outweigh the cons decentralised currencies, is yet to be determined. Personally, I still don't believe they do. Any

It is extremely distracting from the main content too. Whoever though this idea was good, needs to re-evaluate their decisions.

Running a script as sh script.sh returns only script.sh, thus, you've already got SELF, but you wouldn't get DIR.

by dastx 6y ago
Really scripts should avoid called `cd` or `pushd`/`popd` wherever possible. It's a lot better to just work with absolute directories, i.e. as someone else pointed out: DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]

I disagree. Steam officially supported only Ubuntu for the longest time. I'm not sure if they still do that, but this is a possibility.

Alpine Linux is pretty heavily used in container space. I've been considering using Alpine Linux or Void Linux as my main driver, though I haven't had a chance to investigate if it's a viable option.

set -x won't do much though. All it will tell you is what it did, but by the time you realise, the damage could already be done.

I suppose the difference is iff people do very script before they run, this could bypass it. But I think, those people would definitely download it, inspect it, then run the downloaded script.

While I don't know enough about banking back then, I presume there was a system in place to withdraw money away from your home bank, albeit it was likely slow. I'm guessing his issue wasn't necessarily that he didn't hav
