It was suggested to me that Apple could argue against "we can krder anyone to do anything" using the 13th amendment which abolishes "involuntary servitude". It's a stretch, and according to Wikipedia, the amendment

If the person with whom you are debating is ex-LEO, ex-military or a conservative, you can easily compare this erosion of the 4th amendment to the erosion of the 2nd amendment. Both the 2nd amendment and the 4th amendment were designed to p

Because ad tracking is all about reach. I use ad-blocking, but maybe 80% of my Facebook friends or Twitter followers don't. When I share an article, there are potentially 80% of my acquaintances who would see ads. If I never share it b

Funny, I just bought my first RPi in order to run Pi-Hole. It works decently from my daughter's tablet. I enabled it on the router so the whole house is covered, but due to uBlock I hardly ever see ads on computers. The nice thing is h

Wow I really liked this article. It encapsulates my thoughts and validates some of my suspicions on private data trafficking quite well. Thinking of Silicon Valley as the both the bad guy and the good in the fight for privacy is quite inter

Can you elaborate? I might have been having problems with PHP for 10 years without even knowing it didn't run!

The criticism is due to the fact that they burst into the room with guns drawn. It was an over-reaction to a completely unknown situation that was about 99.9% benign. The police's mantra of "overwhelming display of control and pow

The real question is, did the King have him beheaded because he failed to use a BreakfastFactory pattern, ensuring that the order for the breakfast can be decoupled from the cooking of the food?

Another offender is Redfin. I'm running uBlock, and the site loads totally fine with no notifications about adblockers, but the search button is grayed out. Took me a while to figure it out

Great list, some really useful commands. One question: What's wrong with "locate"? It is really fast because the file system contents are indexed. As long as you understand that it's not going to pick up the latest new f

One other problem with "no sugar added" is a workaround that allows them to add artificial sweeteners and still be able to claim "0g of sugar". To me, that is not only untrue but intentionally deceptive. I want to dri

Are there any restrictions selling food products from overseas, specifically in the US (FDA approvals, for example)? In addition, is it also possible to run into export issues or licensing problems with the foreign candy/food makers? I

Hey no need to apologize, I didn't even know about v until I tried it. So thanks for that.
288.
by mirkules 11y ago
You are right, v will highlight per character, Shift-V highlights entire lines. Also, as you pointed out, I made a mistake on the paste, it's p, not y (which is copy).
289.
by mirkules 11y ago
You can simply mark your text with Shift-v, then d to cut, y to paste (correction edit: p is for paste). This saved me so much time and energy than trying to count the lines. The relative numbering is cool unless your text goes off screen.

This just happened to my coworker today. I'm sitting behind him telling him which commands to type (he's new to Linux...) when suddenly he jumps the gun and pushes enter just as I say "slash". My heart nearly stopped.

Hey thanks for this. I tested it out on Mavericks, and the only thing that doesn't sync anymore is the notes. Maybe I just can't find the setting in iTunes to sync that as well...

It is difficult, I agree. But that's not really the point Kay is trying to make. Why should we implement these things in the web browser? Further in the interview, Kay remarks that that is exactly the problem - that we are reinventin

With regards to sharing of files: it's a natural progression for Apple. They are moving everything to iCloud. In Mavericks, for example, they disabled syncing of notes/calendar/address book through the cable with iTunes. It

That makes sense. Since md5 can have collisions, is it also safe to assume that the cracked username is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate? In reading about it some more (particularly the md5 collision demo based on Patrick Stach's imp

It is not uncommon to commute 30 miles or more to work (one way) in Los Angeles, for example. My commute used to be 62 miles each way, then I cut it to 45 miles, and now it's about 10 miles. There is no effective public transportation
