"Sam Adams stopped making the beer I like so I went into a random pub to complain loudly and got thrown out. Now I just drink Bud Light!" Today Mr. Firmwarrior stands in the public square shouting about Firefox some more.

So you can play piano over SSH obviously! Okay, yes, there's X11 forwarding but this is a lot simpler, right?

Any similar libs for drawings that snap together, like in a flowchart? Considering writing something like that in WASM. But it might have to be from scratch in that case.

Thank you for everything, Bram. Your legacy will live far, far beyond you. Farewell. And on an old programming forum (where I wrote all my posts with the Vimperator external editor feature -- in Vim, of course), so my signature went.. :wq

There are multiple indications that this was written in 2015, yet the advice seems new. The timelessness of elisp/lisp and the emacs ecosystem. I actually did the same thing a couple years back on a system where an Arch Linux upgrade r

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing! Yes, you are right about my clients. And while the difference is subtle, it sounds like you are doing more of "contract jobs" than "consulting". But no matter what it is called, clea

Hear, hear. It's like how for years search engines have been carefully guiding us into writing search queries as folk sentence questions. In the beginning of search entering a few terms was good enough to be shown relevant information.

Indeed but by using Rust the project isn't painting itself into a corner. I seriously doubt the promised native versions will be simply shoved into Electron. Making it available on the web makes it easy to try which will help build the

The article hits the hammer smashed face right on the face. Great read! In more recent years I've really come to appreciate the Death Metal English of bands like Obscura. Nothing crushes your significance like song titles and lyrics of

Absolutely not. The last album, Those Once Loyal (2005), was a masterpiece and while I respect the band for not making another album just to make another album.. I would really like another album!

Good try but these are definitely power metal lyrics!

Maybe you don't listen on port 80 but I can imagine a standard web server using Let's Encrypt, for example, that could suffer from a user leaking credentials by inadvertently using HTTP rather than HTTPS. I have to look into some

I use git in Termux all the time. It's fine. You just enter commands like normal. I have no idea what the parent to your comment is on about, especially having "written a book".

Actually I do to save me from the deprived interfaces the OS ships with. The Git install is one of the best Cygwin-likes I've encountered. It has the majority of tools needed and reasonable integration with the host OS. Very nice for g

I like `rmdir` because I don't have to check if a directory that I think is empty is actually empty with `ls -la` before removing it. This happens a lot with moving stuff out of directories (sometimes to different destinations).

Very interesting! Any chance you have written more extensively about this somewhere? I am a consultant but it's hard to get my clients to leave me alone for more than a week.

Depends on what X is. Ski jumping? Probably not. Workshop stuff (CNC, 3D printing, etc) probably yes.

Very good point about owing your livelihood. Same here. I learned a ton from installing Slackware 8.1 in the early '00s (from printing out the manual no less -- something I would be aghast to do today). I should probably cut Patrick Vo

Sounds like the problems you describe would be fixed by Guix or Nix. You should give one of those a try, or even use them on your existing distro!

But NATO didn't oppose Russia's invasion of Georgia in 2008. So that precedent was already set?

One would hope but I recently watched a YouTube video of an Australian touring a shopping mall / grocery store in Moscow. It looked practically identical to a western version. Contrast that to the USSR where grocery shelves were routin

No, incredibly disingenuous would be: 1. Ukrainian military age males, legally required by their government to serve in the armed forces, fleeing 2. AND THEN insisting the war not end while their countrymen are dying on their behalf I might

Counter battery fire[1] into Russia isn't going to end the war, just the opposite. I guess Russia will blame the mushroom clouds on the Russian partisans too? [1] And we'll ignore issues with ranging, disproportionate numbers, a

That seems like a rather false hope. Russia doesn't have much of a track record for backing down. We can discuss the Prigozhin incident but no one outside of Wagner supported him. Nor does he seem to be in favor of withdrawing from U

Apparently you missed the point that Ukrainians using cluster bombs will kill Ukrainians in the future. The idea that the increased effectiveness of DPCIMs will save lives is a rather theoretical argument. Perhaps it will be comforting
