I find they are linked frequently on GitHub pages for projects. If not as part of the README, then somewhere on the right-hand side. There are also dedicated Discord search engines like disbord.org.

Interesting to see that I had a C++ REPL on my system, installed with clang by default, all along. From the documentation, it seems this is primarily aimed at incremental compilation on demand via Compiler As A Service. Indeed, for an end-u

Reading through these comments (and not being from the US), I think I'll play it safe and just never use this "luddite" term, ever.

Since the article mentions the sidenotes package for LaTeX, I would like to mention the sidenotesplus and snotez packages as well. Both aim to improve over some perceived shortcomings of the original sidenotes package. The snotez-package is

This resonates with me. Whenever I use a windows machine, it really doesn't feel like I am in control and treated as a adult. Adding to the list, click-baity AI-aggregated sex&crime news delivered to you by default. It offends me.

I use Kagi's FastGPT (which is really Anthropic Claude I think) for queries I have only a fuzzy idea of how I should put it into words. It's not very verbose and gives you a search summary, consisting of something like four paragr

I think you may both be right. Assume you start off with a small niche product and keep increasing your userbase. Then the characteristics of the users at the fringes will change the more you grow. That is to say, the former Marls in the mi

I am probably going to get flak for this, but this "scam flow" including a forged Microsoft login, is pretty much the problem I had when I first encountered OAuth and the "Login with XY" concept. Aside from the fact that

I didn't know about this, looks pretty neat. Unfortunately, 90 km/h top speed is a hard sell here in Germany, since that means that you will get in other people's way when driving on federal roads or the Autobahn, provoking p

Thanks for sharing this, it is pleasantly obvious you put a lot of work into this. I especially like the TUI application! Will the web version of this book remain free even after August 31st?

This is subjective, but my impression was rather the tide shifted when ChatGPT came out. Case in point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37290356 As I am writing this, three comments. One by the author, the other two ab

Over time, a programmer gathers a personal set of quality heuristics that has worked for them. A code review is an opportunity to sanity-check your changes by running your code against another person's set of heuristics. There will be

For filesystem operations like batch renames at least, I am usually happy with `vidir` (part of `moreutils`: https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/ ). `vidir [path]` will open an editor with the given directory as buff

Or they stick to bash to keep their skills honed for when they have to understand some third-party script, or you ssh into some system and can't just quickly install fish first.

fzf comes with some bash completions ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/fzf ), including Ctrl+r for basically `history | fzf`.

For me, my Ctrl+S moment was with Apple's Writer, on my first Macbook back in 2005 or so. Lost a whole evening's worth of work due to a crash. I'm mostly in the `:w` camp now, but still...

See my reply to another commentor [0]. In short, the situation is a little confusing since even though your private blog may not be commercial, it may be regarded "businesslike" nontheless [1]. That being said, this legislation ha

I am not sure about that. Even for conventional blogs, I would say that the legal situation is not really clear. Non-legal advice often is "if it's non-commercial, you don't need an imprint", see e.g. documentation by He

Yeah my use case is unfortunately the latter. Maybe the out-of-band cleanup you suggest might be something like a simple daemon which is invoked with `$$` and `path/to/myscript.lock`. Which would then poll for the presence of a pr
