The #1 thing anybody should be asking for here is a list of newspapers they archive. I cannot see it. The obvious competitor to these people is https://www.newspapers.com and they at least have a crude one: https://ww

A minor note about things like keep-lines: you can do the same thing, with more power by invoking the shell: (keep-lines "abc") is equivalent (or at least mostly so) to C-u M-| grep abc Clearly you can replace the grep with

As a student, you'd be well-served to explore the various power tools people have used for many decades, with emacs being at the top of that list.

Thanks for the post. The obvious comparison is feedgnuplot: https://github.com/dkogan/feedgnuplot/ That works similarly in that it plots standard input. The backend is gnuplot, which is a double-edged sword: it&#x

Yep. There's a reason for the way I did it, but clearly I need to change it. Thanks for looking.

The docs link to the "guide" right at the top. This has basic usage examples and images: https://github.com/dkogan/gnuplotlib/blob/master/guide/guide...

Lots of people have been using these systems on their desktops for decades. This meme really needs to die.

Why wouldn't you just use stock Debian? The first rpi used a weird CPU, which didn't map well to the CPUs supported by the stock OSs, but that hasn't been true since that very first one.

You can get quite far by piping to other tools and/or using DSLs. pivoting can almost certainly be done by the luau support in qsv (or `vnl-filter`, for instance). Summing and grouping is something that `datamash` does well (or qsv lua

In addition to being annoying, it raises questions about whether it is free software or not. Some people care a whole lot about that. And some people have higher standards about being nagged. And lots and lots of time was spent discussing s

For simple analyses (i.e. what most people do most of the time) doing this on the commandline gets you there faster. I use vnlog ( https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog/ ). By the time you fired up your editor to write yo

Aren't there a million of these? I used rosegarden something like 20 years ago. Still looks like it's around, and looks far nicer than it was! Go `apt install rosegarden`

Alternative very appropriate for some uses cases: `vnl-join` from the vnlog toolkit ( https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog ). Uses the `join` tool from coreutils (works well, has been around forever), and `vnlog` for nice col

Make is a language for making build systems. CMake is a build system that uses Make written by people who haven't read the manual. Anybody touching build systems at all needs to do themselves a huge favor: read the GNU Make manual to b

by dima55 3y ago
Yes. Thank you. Make is a victim of its own success in many ways.
138.
by dima55 3y ago
Because Make is perfect for 99% of cases. And adding the extra 1% of features would be a mountain of extra work and complexity. Bazel does that, but I don't work on anything that needs its complexity, so for me and most other projects

Sorta. He has a license (MIT), but no copyright statement. The license is an agreement between the copyright holder and the user. Normally he would have gotten the sign-off from his employer to release this, and this thing would be Copyrigh

Or the vnlog tools can do this. There are many ways to do data processing on the commandline now.

I've used sid on my machines for decades, as have many other people. Works great. It's not an official "release" in that it's not all tested together, but neither is Arch, really.

The second one is more work and it's what you want. Because it gets stuff into the main archive that everybody benefits from in the future. Otherwise your project is a series of hacks that create an unmaintainable mess.

by dima55 3y ago
Good lord. I'll never understand why people promote this project, since it's main feature is that he's doing it wrong. The complexity he's trying to avoid exists for a reason, not because people like complexity. OP: post

"rebootstrap" is the tool used today to bring up a new architecture. My understanding is that most of the process is now automated.

Debian is a mainstream OS used by millions, while yocto is niche. Package availability isn't comparable, and you don't have to look hard to find missing things. And yes. I can install a cross-compiler (from the stock repo!) and cu

by dima55 3y ago
You can custom-build Debian packages in the same way. Rarely does anyone actually do it because it rarely actually matters.

by dima55 3y ago
Yocto has no place on any machine that isn't heavily resource constrained. A "normal" OS like Debian gives you multitudes of advantages at the cost of a little extra disk space: thousands of packages available with one comman
