"usually", "pretty fast" includes "but sometimes not", "it takes some time". I've had enough occasions where I saw the black label but had no clue what was going on. Sometimes the post title isn&

when we get the black line indicating mourning, it would be nice to have a link to the respective HN post detailing who's gone. I assume the public half mast referes to Mr. Walker, here...

This is a reason why I love BSD (specifically Net-; but it doesn't matter). The system as a whole is complete, and that includes documentation. The man pages of the BSDs are nothing but excellent, and plenty. The base install is so sma

I often use 5%-black-on-90%-white (and vice versa) and various colored setups that bear semantics to me (like work context, for example, authenticated user, preferred REPL, ...) and as soon as you leave a monochrome world, those colors tend

my initial reaction, half OT: Ooof, random "ASCII" (actually: Unicode) art & dev-chosen colors, my bane of the "modern" CLI applications. That drawing you like? Doesn't work for me, give me the raw output please
