Why do you cite this? There are multiple style guides. Do you want to say: Google bad, Google good or what?

Octonauts are delightful. First it was a book series. I can also recommend Octonauts longer movies. My daughter remembers a few interesting facts about marine life thanks to all this. I also find them quite funny and cute. Barbie: Dreamhous

You're right. With Paw Patrol though the formula of the show reminds me of a casino or modern gaming with loot boxes. I don't know how to compare Transformers to it, as I never seen the show, only a few comics. Maybe a Marlboro co

Paw Patrol is a show where first a toy company made a line of toys and then wanted to have a show that would go with it. It is one big commercial for toys. There is not much of a redeeming value left. When my daughter was watching the show

In terms of my personal projects I am thinking for some time about using Rust in a way I usually use C - minimal dependencies, at most two level dependencies (my dependencies and their dependencies, no their dependencies dependencies). I co

Aren't most people buying anything really buying things when there is an immediate need and they have money for it? Computer breaks, buy a new one. Computer is too slow, buy a new one. Most consumers do not track industry news. They ha

When I hear the word "hallucination" in my mind appears an image of a crazy guy almost with foam on his mouth, probably on drugs or having severe mental problems. That is not a thing that I associate with being creative and certai

Partially true. If I will not organize eating I will be hungry. If I will not organize sleeping I will be tired, because I went to sleep too late or can't sleep, because my mind is on full rev. Sleeping and eating (though a tasty meal

When you take a look with strace to see what is happening it blocks on 'openat' of the file. So it is not the same.

It is something quite different. Compact Calendar is continuous and Thumb Calendar is many months at the same time in single place. What makes them similar is their focus on being printed.

For read yes, but for writes it will not block until the pipe buffer is filled.

UUIDv4 attaches meaning to certain 6 or 7 bits (depending on a variant) of the identifier. UUIDv4 is a UUID after all.

There must be some SF out there where immortal and invincible mice escape the lab and soon we have a paper clip maximizer like situation. The Mice Maximizer?

Using comm was exactly what I did use in my little experiment of a barebones SSG. I did save a list of generated files and compared them. This one liner is the meat of the whole solution: comm -23 <(awk 'NR>1' "$DST

The day I will stop taking it first to mean X11/X.org will be a sad day for me. With this publicity I imagine more people visiting x.org. I wonder what will happen to it in a couple of decades.

Maybe they could be, but you have to catch someone doing it first and it would have to be clear they are agents of a foreign government. That's not easy.

AFAIK semaphores would not allow for another train to go where a train is already.

I thought about creating such a website for years, because most software I use is broken (sometimes intentionally) and it breaks easily. For example most applications will crumble when you will try to interact with them during animations.

After using 3+ tools I often come to the conclusion that I don't really like any of them. I see the trade offs and choose something based on often superficial reasons. I use Linux instead of Windows or macOS, because it allows me to ti

Seeing "kill off" and "cartoons" reminds me of a skull and crossbones as the symbol of pirates - pillage and kill. Crossbones make an X symbol.

You kinda can, but there are no 32" iPads and none will look like E-Ink. The closest I think you could go for is to have a monitor with precise brightness control and measure the wall brightness and adjust the monitor brightness to fit

I think I am almost grasping what you are saying, but am not sure. Those short memory people (who I think I may be among) that GP said about relate to which group of mathematicians and programmers? I am one of those that prefer to reduce co

I like Helix, but I found it very laggy through ssh, where vim is quick enough.

It is sad that trap interface is not reversed: trap EXIT WHATEVER -- cmd args But as it is common with bash interfaces crystalized before good practices became apparent.

There is still a small window between touch and rm for the file to not be cleaned up. There is no easy way around it with standard shell and coreutils, but there could be a tool that would use memfd_create(2) and exec user's command pa

So do not buy it. Sell the stuff you are not using. It is ok to leave one thing that you wish to tinker with in the future, but it is not advised. While we're at it, a clean up of files on your computer is also way overdue. I should no
