I notice these Mac tools becoming a bit stale. sort is derived GNU sort, but from some ancient version. I guess this might be due in part to these tools now being GPLv3 ?

For a similar but much faster tool than ack, which simply wraps `find` and `grep` in the UNIX tradition, see: http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/findrepo

This seems like a bit of a cop out? Why not try a new kernel or separate stack like Fedora for example?

I had this idea to demo basic python concepts. Here's an implementation of ls with links to further info: http://www.pixelbeat.org/talks/python/ls.py.html

I enable this for GNU ls like: alias ls="BLOCK_SIZE=\'1 ls --color=auto" The above is a bit hacky and not very UNIXy as it's lumping more logic into ls, rather than splitting out into functional units. Number formatting being a ver

Cool! Here is an rpm variant with simplified sed: whatis -s1 $(rpm -ql coreutils | sed -n 's,.*/bin/,,p')

Very nice! Note if you put the | at the end of the line the whole command is copy and pasteable. Also you could pipe to `column -t -s:` to align nicely Also you can download the 57K index rather than the 1.3M manual to get the command list.

I think it was tested at 200Kb/s throughput, but with tweaks that could be doubled

I prefer the much simpler approach of reusing the existing utils with a simple shell script, which is much faster than ack: http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/findrepo A quick test on a moderately big repo: $ time findrepo test '*' |

The new proposed functions, sounds very similar to stpcpy() and stpncpy()

Yes they're a pain in the ass, but a necessary one. `uname -s` obviously doesn't cater for the divergences and bugs within a platform. Have a look at gnulib for things one has to deal with. BTW, one can just use gnulib and forget about lots

Pathetic google. "Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful." My arse. With source code becoming increasingly available and important, and already in a structured format, this goes

One should avoid echo anyway due to portability issues. Use printf instead.

Cool we can have reflinks by default. http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/unix_links.html Fedora changes seem to go in cycles. F11 and F14 were good stabilization releases. F17 should be of the same ilk I think.

I just tried out my ansi_colours.sh [1] script and it mostly worked. A few notes: wget is available, and it would be cool to piggy back the linux network stack through the browser. cut & paste support is a must for any terminal The spac

There were lots of good games from around then, which I've recently enjoyed playing on dosbox. You can see screenshots and videos of lemmings et. al. here: http://www.pixelbeat.org/misc/dosbox/
