I've managed to avoid the Air cult, mostly because I need extra beef, and Air never seemed to have it. But I sure am glad there are machines like the GPD Pocket around. I'm not entirely convinced the two, at each ends of various

It doesn't change a thing and I do not acknowledge the efficacy of such an action. Sometimes in life you have to actually do things, thinking about them is not enough..

I don't buy a new one every few months. I simply have a collection of keyboards, and I swap them out every few months. That's really the only point - you don't have to do this expensively. Besides, keyboards are cheap... c

Expensive really? I beg to differ - far cheaper than any of the other options, such as physical therapy, drugs, etc. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one.

Was recommended to me by a medical professional in 1986. Worked wonders!

The best thing to do to deal with carpal tunnel is to change your keyboard out every few months. It doesn't matter if its Cherry or whatever - simply don't use the same keyboard for longer than 3 - 4 months. (This is just my pers

I'm just saying that it'd be more interesting to see the entire dataset for the war, not just one side ...
548.
by mmjaa 9y ago
Thats a very good point - it seems the war is still being fought, ideologically - or else there'd be a balancing act and we'd be seeing the tragedy on the German side too.

Not much better than US propaganda.

Very inspiring! I have 8 Oric Atmos machines which I've been collecting for just the purpose of having an 8-voice synth, based on the Orics' sound chip, the venerable General Instrument AY-3-8910 .. and now I've got even less

How does it compare with h5mag.com, which is what I currently use to do all this .. ?

This looks like such a delightful piece of hardware, I wonder if there would be any interest in a faithful reproduction sold as a DIY kit? From my point of view, this sort of technology should stick around, as a hobbyist computing tool. Ro

I'm very happy that devices such as this, and my current favourite - the GPD Pocket - are making a return to the market. Having a full-fledged Linux workstation with multitouch, 'retina'-class display, and still fit in my

Yeah, I couldn't make that work for me (on Linux or MacOS) .. although I'd love it if there were a way to quickly get 'just the directory' or 'just the filename' in bash with a shortcut, instead of having to re

Thanks for those great links, I will devour them avidly and attempt to temper my disgust at the Australian people with a bit of self-education. I too am now more European than Australian (after quite some time in the USA as well), and find

Last question: ctags is a sub-set of cscope, in that cscope does all that ctags does, and more. Anyway, I concur with your reasoning: bsd vi and muscle memory. Works for me!

These CVE's have been exploitable for a long time. This is the first open discovery of this golden key to every single computer, everywhere .. but there has been ample time for this to have been catastrophic. If Intel were open about

I find that cscope integration in vim supersedes any need for ctags. For why is ctags not just a subset?

by mmjaa 9y ago
Sounds cool. I use it in vim as a 'grok this C/C++/Lua/Textfiles' utility, pretty much every day. grep too of course, and there are times when you just wanna ack, but for full grok, cscope is cool however you do i

I love the land, but I have no interest in Australian culture or politics. I think its a real pity that, as guardians of one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, Australians have let it fall into serious disrepair. See, for examp

Ooh, grep is definitely useful, no question .. but cscope, in the right hands, can be far, far more productive .. try it and see!

>very useful "grep for UI text" trick Just, one thing: for C/C++ code-bases such as gdb, stop using grep for things, people! Use cscope! 'tis a brilliant means of navigating files and scoping out the contents of a

I agree with you, but then I think the same can be said of movies such as "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", wherein the pacing was awesome back in the day, when you had to actually be somewhere to watch a movie, but now when

Had some great suggestions, but this one wets my whistle the most, haha! Probably what I'll do, though, is set up SCSI on a linux box somewhere and try to xxx the shadow, seems to be the smoothest route .. don't wanna mess too muc

Thanks for this, looks to be not a problem at all! Well, now I've got one less reason to keep the SGI boxes wrapped up, thanks!

On the flip side of this incessantly boring argument, once you've actually dealt with a swarm of all of these things successfully, i.e. lived to make lunch out of it, then .. pretty much .. everyone elses' zeitgeist seems pretty f

As a native-born Australian, your last sentence really resonates with me. I was lucky to have been born there, and raised a bit, but when I was old enough to have a religious-like experience out there in the north-western deserts, I realis

Creators were being robbed long before the Internet came along and made piracy easy, yo. The music industry is literally filled with some of the most heinous, double-crossing hustlers you will ever find.

Turns out I need to do that with my old SGI. Got any tips?

Before SGI, there was the Aquari-rand, but I can't find a link for it. Basically an Aquarium with a digital camera pointed at it..
