Some excellent scripts, I like the one with `--multi` to delete git branches. My most powerful bash alias has become this one [1], where `subl` is the editor of my choice. I no longer search files, I find them. Really, fzf is almost indisti

It's certainly not a common word in German. In fact, this is the first time I've ever seen it, and all google search results are either dictionary entries or English articles that can be attributed to the Anglosphere's obsess

I just had a look at the free chapter of your book, the page layout looks very appealing and clean. Would you mind sharing the stack you used to typeset those pages? Is pandoc involved?

That does not align with my experience. On Christmas 2019, I recorded an album [1] of 9 "Snake Jazz" songs, each 30 seconds long, as a joke on a Rick and Morty episode. Published the album on CD Baby, and had them distribute it on

Exhibit B: yes, the command that repeatedly prints `y` to stdout. Exhibit C: all handling of time, with time_t, struct timespec, timeval etc. We should just have a 64 bit uint representing nanoseconds from epoch, which would give us 585 yea

To improve, busy work is not enough - some kind of quality control is needed to provide feedback, like mentioned in the "Share your Work" paragraph. I have been playing guitar for 28 years and barely improved in the past 15 years

Luckily, this is a solved problem for go. func helper(a float64, c chan float64){ time.Sleep(time.Duration(a) * time.Second) c <- a } func clamp(a float64, min float64, max float64) float64 { c := make(chan

It's also remarkable that while in many areas with "theory-heavy" software development (e.g. compilers), the open-source solutions are arguably better than the proprietary ones, this is not at all the case for mechanical CAD
