on mac, pointing to one file doesn't page the output. I can't get the output paged using `less`, it loses all the formatting and color. starting the TUI (no args) and then choosing the file works fine, however. less --version less

you're not alone. i think the pandemic has made people more solitary, to the point of being anxious and/or annoyed around other humans. a noisy theater was just something that happened in normal life before, it happened, and then

watching a virtual persona stream their development of their M1 GPU drivers is one of the most cyberpunk things I've ever seen! it's easy to forget that this world is looking closer and closer to those dreamed up by Gibson, Stephe

I gave mosh a shot on a whim, and it's just magic. The only time I have to re-run it is when the client is powered down. Otherwise, I've had a rock solid remote terminal for months , surviving VPN and network finickyness.

good god, what in the hell does dropbox need a VR client for? this entire VR push reminds me of the days when IE and Netscape were competing with "push" browsers, which were equally pointless. https://www.zdnet.com&#x2F

i agree, Elm gets you from "here's the language" to "ok, now here's a site" much faster, in both the docs and the language architecture. purescript does have some options to model the elm architecture, though,

Yes the new ones are generally garbage, compared to the originals. Race to the bottom, et al. Also Transformers especially are just monobody plastic garbage now.

All those counterexamples are open platforms which get tinkered with to no end. Meanwhile, it's the apple platforms that get more and more restrictions per year.

Do they really have any power though? At this point they're there because they've always been there, but why is that bad on its own? It does give the people a sense of history and dignity about their longevity.

I strongly doubt any of the technical matters are in his purview. That's what CTOs are for. Not trying to shade, I'm sure he's an intelligent person, but his current role is all products, and no bearing on the technical choic

Amazon's one click, customer service, shipping infrastructure, and return policy simply embarrass all their competition. Decades of investing in these things is paying off. No wonder it's physically painful to visit a new site: fo

for work, i wrote a tool that takes an astroid AST tree and translates it into XML (in memory), which are very close in spirit since they're both tree-like structures. this lets one write linter tools using familiar XPath queries and a

I never reflected on that until you mentioned it. It seems even when someone does attempt a joke here, I always wonder why the comment hasn't been down voted away. It's just not that venue, I guess. Which is a shame, because smart
