You’ll have a much better experience in Cygwin/MSYS2/WSL if you treat them like isolated environments and not call programs from outside of them. If you want to use ‘jq’ (or any tool) within Cygwin, install the Cygwin package. Don

It gives software developers 9 years to receive feedback from early adopters, and fix things if they want to stay relevant. There’s not much point to installing a new server if there’s no software for it.

I was just at an airport and bought a pre-packed sandwich from the refrigerator, and the POS was setup to ask for tips! I have sympathy for workers at places like this, as I know they don’t get paid much, but this is probably the last straw

Vimwiki essentially does this for you with the diary feature, and it also allows some nice wiki markup, including todo items you can mark as completed.

This is a great explanation, especially the part describing how ctrl codes are mapped to their corresponding letters. I always felt there was probably a logic to it, but the idea never fully materialized into something I thought to investig

You can’t outrun a bad diet. It takes a lot of exercise to burn off excess calories, and virtually no effort to simply not consume them. I understand that health is more than just calories, and you can come to the same conclusion about othe

Because it’s not a real argument, it’s marketing fluff. “Oh, look how futuristic it is! If you (the government) approve all our demands for reduced regulation and subsidize our installation costs, you’ll get re-elected by your people who no

It’s pretty easy: if someone is projected to win, voters who were planning to vote for that person might stay home to avoid “wasting their time” since they’re going to win anyway. Then that person doesn’t win because the voters didn’t show

It’s completely outside the realm of reality to expect “normal” people to do this. Most tech people don’t even do it.

Plants that feed the cattle are overwhelmingly fertilized using fertilizer derived from petroleum products, so it’s not an accurate picture that the feed plants are carbon capture methods.

Even with those protections, we still had apps like LinkedIn Intro which was designed to man-in-the-middle all email connections. And these are supposedly legitimate companies. I can’t wait to see what apps try to do when there are no restr

This topic is not about ads in app stores, it’s about ads in unavoidable interfaces that you must interact with on a daily basis, like the Start Menu, security icons, explorer windows, etc. the App Store in iOS can easily be moved into a fo

You don’t get to change the definition of words just because it fits your argument better. App Store is not the core user interface , it’s a separate app. There’s no reason to go into the iOS App Store unless you want to install something n

For almost every one of those pop ups, you can click on it, step through the dialog, then cancel the setup and it will clear the badge and not nag you anymore. I agree it is getting irritating on IOS, but on Windows they’re now using things

Smoothies are one of those “health things” that aren’t healthy at all. Loaded with sugar, and all the fiber from fruit is pre-digested so you get a huge jolt of easily absorbed sugar and then an insulin rush and crash later. Almost as bad a

2 sockets can allow a server to hold 32 or more cores, and a 2 socket server uses 1U of space. Going to 4 or more sockets typically requires 2 or even 4 Us of space, so they’re less efficient space-wise. Most people dealing with hardware do

A very large portion of lamps purchased at home goods stores have dimmer switches (a knob that you turn instead of flipping a switch), and dimmers have been widely available at home improvement stores for decades. This idea is not some nich

Many people complain about sleep problems. Light exposure is essential to regulating sleep cycles, and going from full brightness to full darkness at night can easily contribute to those problems. Dimmers allow finer control of exposure.

The article makes quite few statements as if $40 is just some cheap camera. $40 in 1962 is $395 today. Still much cheaper than some special custom NASA thing, but that amount buys you far more than a “cheap drugstore camera”.
