Well, its only intuitive because you already memorized what all the options and command lines do. I for one don't even remember how to use head, I just sed 15q instead of head -n 15, s/// is clearer than a cut

Beat me to it. Yes, I ran a quick benchmark[0] and not running a function always wins. now, one may argue that you are running a call, but if the interpreter was smart it would convert the small function calls to just a noops. [0]: https:&

I used to solve this by just installing another launcher. there were some good ones around, they should still work I hope.

If only there existed some thing, some sort of UI, that basically showed you all you could do with the tool, and there was some sort of checkbox thing where you wanted it to do this and that... gosh, we would be living in the future. not a

I care. I care about start up time. I care because I just had a black out, and that requires booting, I care because I mess with my system and I have to reboot sometimes. I care because I expect software to improve, not get worse. I care ab

I think that while its certainly ignorance. it's more about complexity (which ignorance thrives in), wherever complexity lies, divisions do as well. ignorance itself does not necessarily have to be wilful. I suppose I'll say, this

Quite frankly if your PATH isn't set up correctly you have bigger problems than #!

by nmz 4y ago
You could always fixup all of your scripts so they point to the correct point in PATH. this also has the benefit of notifying you if a program doesn't exist. Do note that env is unportable (freebsd has -P I think), which makes parsing

Can you actually tell the OS something like that?

I guess this is the answer... but honestly would hate having something that barely fits in my pocket around... I suppose sdcards are the new floppys but they are much too small, not to mention that they could stop being writable at any mome

They also have recently become absolute shit at IMAP support, so has AOL. Both of them have set up a COPY Rate limit, basically if you move X amount of messages, (10 on aol, around 50 on yahoo) the move will fail with this message: >

its interesting to note that floppy disks are still more secure than anything usb. what can you move on to that is both secure and cheap?

I only use awk. sed is unnecessary when you know awk has gsub or sub. Though I would say, I'd really like lua to be in there considering its small size.

> If you don’t control the data it is public. Period. Funny, censorship (which this case somewhat is) is about making things not public. Though I somewhat agree.
