Tab as the prefix for command lines is a property of all Makefile formats I'm aware of (though not of many other build script formats). Make itself (including GNU Make) does not generally use M4, though both Autoconf and Automake use i

The form I usually use is (cd TARGET && COMMAND), including the parentheses to make it a subshell. That seems close enough to not be worth adding features to something as simple as cd, given the basic shell philosophy of composabili

This can get you flamed, and in a way rightfully so, because you just made the author do more work for seemingly no reason. If no one else regularly has a problem integrating, being That One Person https://xkcd.com/1782&#x2F

The latter half of that is true, isn't it? And yet. This is why you can't treat that type of statement as purely factual: so long as you're sharing a world with it, it's of a quine-like type which is always performative

I've been tentatively calling the former FDO/Linux or XDG/Linux, FWIW.

I mostly agree with that, yes, though I worry about message saturation too early on. Currently there's very little many users can do about it. If they have the idea shoved into their faces too many times while that's true, will

I think there's a big difference between being arrested and being considered to be acting rude. There's also a big difference between pointing out a security flaw and continuing to actively exploit it. That's why I said I t

Well, firstly, because they are not in a similar position to yours with regard to this fact unless they are of a similar attitude and skill for promoting these transmissions to human-side visibility. (If you know that they do have the same

So, as a code example, fine---but I'd caution against actually using this with your friends unless you know they're okay with it. They will be acting under certain social expectations with regard to when and how people can see th

Emacs users have used regexp-opt in their own syntax highlighting (aka font-lock) for a while now, at least. If you wanted to port it, it'd depend on whether you're okay with the license, presumably, though I don't think wri

Except when you can't. Landlords very often just won't take you on at all if you don't show evidence of preëxisting stability. No proof of stable income? No housing—you can even offer to pay up-front or whatever, and they

I more or less agree with both of your sentiments. I also suspect that if you can get anywhere near the tinkerer's market first, it becomes that much more likely that you can get another foothold, and that much more likely that the ne

Both are plausible for humans as well, I would say (in a more general sense). Certainly mistake spirals from not quite knowing how to deal with the consequences of the first mistake have happened to me personally, and I recall descriptions

They do allow you to provide Sieve scripts as text, but you do have to use the Web interface to upload them, under Advanced → Rules, so changes aren't readily automatable AFAIK. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly where the e

"buffalo" can mean something like "bother" as an English verb (at least in American informal use), so the whole sentence as parsed in English does have a concrete mental image associated with it, in case that makes any d
