What does this give you over the default Ctrl-r?

by mdpye 14y ago
Ctrl-x e opens the current line in your $EDITOR, smoother than echoing, especially when there are pipes involved. Save it out as a script from there if you like.

Absolutely there is space for debate and disagreement - the problem is generally in getting acknowledgement that there are other view points with which to engage. A considered opinion deserves respect if not agreement. One formed on assumpt

Fair enough. I've never had a serious encounter with the opinion that one shouldn't want to improve oneself. The idea that wishing for a change which cannot be achieved might be harmful (to happiness at least) - but not the idea that someon

I'd like to understand this comment, but I'm afraid I can't fathom its relation to what you quoted. I meant to convey that the highly analytical mindset is lauded as a great strength here. The popularity of social skill self-help type artic

I do, as a hearing person who greatly enjoys music, I would not choose to be deaf. But would I choose never having experienced music aurally (and people do experience it through touch, for example), over the bond and understanding with my p

And this kind of comment is what happens when people lack respect for those whose experience of life is different from their own. Do you believe that their experience is less valid? What are your objective criteria for deciding this? Differ

You don't change the resolver. ISPs need to drop UDP packets leaving their networks where the (spoofed) headers declare that they did not originate there. That way an attacker can't spoof the originator to have the responses directed at som

Gafapasta is probably the best choice I'm aware of. Pijo doesn't carry art-geek creds or suggest youth.

Perhaps you'd care to share some of them and their advantages with the younger and older coders who've never come across them? Otherwise - in a slightly less nice way than last time - get lost.

I don't want to suggest that this has not been a good thing overall, but donations of this sort are a highly political act, and can't escape being in spite of any intention. An interesting (I found) examination of the the effects of such a

Agree that laughter tracks sap the humour out of any situation, but then I stopped watching Arrested Development because I got tired of being beaten over the head with the joke by the narrator. People need to stop worrying if everyone got t

Reading the title, I equated preventative medicine with public health work, but reading the article it seems that this isn't what they meant. I'm not particularly surprised that the kind of treatments and screenings that they're talking abo

Damn man, where do you get lunch for £2.40 a day? Even our subsidised canteen hits £4 no bother (admittedly I'm getting a hot meal) Edit: and the penny drops. That's the difference between buying and bringing from home, still got to factor

Respectfully, I have to disagree. I have plenty of great experiences cycling the city, and the quality of the "cycle routes" varies greatly across the boroughs. Yes, if you're out an about in south london, it's pretty clear that you're in "

In terms of git features, I think I value correcting embarrassing typos in my commit messages higher than fixing typos in my code! They're a lot more frequent due to the fast and loose typing, and lack of a compiler on my back.

Because roads don't need regular maintenance? But that's beside the point, if you want to take a different view on it, a healthy population is a resource on which these companies draw. In the US model, companies also pay for this, direct to

There are certain conventions on instrument location which are very rarely broken. Drum kits are an easy example to examine, almost always panned so that the individual pieces match their positions relative to the drummer: for a right hande
