What I've seen of Tup is good but it doesn't add enough to convince me to switch away from make which is already everywhere. CMake and similar tools don't attract me because they're not language independent. The best thi

On Windows that's VirtualAlloc with MEM_RESERVE: Reserves a range of the process's virtual address space without allocating any actual physical storage in memory or in the paging file on disk. https://msdn.microsoft.c

I wrote a small command line program to read NOS Teletekst: https://github.com/sjmulder/nostt It supports colour but not the special teletext drawing characters as they seem to have no Unicode equivalents.

This is the whole point of such a feature. Pipe wrench guy demands password, you give the duress password. Re. parent comments, I suppose you could have the script delete all traces of login_duress (and itself).

All fair points. I didn't really consider creating processes in a non-fork way. I'd probably miss the easy transfer of unnamed shared objects you get with forking. How do unrelated processes usually initiate communication?

I'm open to arguments, but right now I feel that threads are (for many uses cases) a poor man's fork. Like threading, forking gives you concurrency but unlike threading it also gives you isolation. There are plenty of IPC mechanis

I find the cut man page (looking at the OpenBSD one) very clear. It's just 62 lines (fits on a screen), has only 5 flags and the 2 examples clearly show how the tool is used. The xargs man page is ought to have some examples, I agree.

Thanks, I posted that on mobile and didn’t notice.

If you’re using a GNU system now you might be surprised by the quality of the BSD man pages, and documentation in general. Concise but still comprehensive, and plenty of examples. The tools (like man) aren’t really the problem here, the doc

I’m keeping a list here: https://sjmulder.nl/en/textielhandel.html There’s not that much out there, unfortunately.

For non-jailbroken devices that wouldn't be possible in the same way, but an app could certainly implement SSH with libraries (photos, contacts, etc) exposed as a filesystem and interpret a set of commands (like rsync).

Not sure why we're being singled out :-) Didn't mean no harm or to single you guys out. You're doing fantastic work. But broken and noncompliant notices do bother me a bit. Sorry to drag on like this but the privacy statem

What I think would also be useful (or more useful) is a list of sites that blatantly don't comply in popular ways such as requiring tracking consent ("By continuing to use …") or assuming consent, often making it hard to opt

I've signed up for an account and played around a bit and while I love so much about the whole idea of it I don't really know what to do.

Agreed on the gesture, I feel that’s implemented well. But I suppose the author is talking about the animation you get when using the keyboard. I also find myself annoyed switching spaces on macOS vs. dwm, tmux, etc. Something else: I got m

What you need then is a compact overview of what is available, like `man intro`, and something like `apropos`.

Do NOT get the Nokia 3210 (2017) or any other phone running the S30+ OS: - High input latency. Makes texting quite painful. I’m usually one or two button presses ahead of the display. - Very limited storage capacity for texts. It seems to b

> By clicking “Agree,” you consent to ... And no “I don’t consent” button. Why put up such a message in the first place if they don’t care about complying with the GDPR?

Fair enough, but more also made sense to me because I assumed (apparently rightly) that its name refers to the "-- More --" prompt at the end of each screenful.

What's the point of adding such a massive cookie bar, supposedly for the GDRP, if there's no way to say no? If they don't need/want to be compliant, why have it at all?

Completely agreed. There's this road I sometimes have in my running route where one of the residents there put one of these things in their front yard. It hurts my ears and, I'm afraid, my longer term hearing if it happens often e

Don't think so but I love it. I use it all the time on my 2G featurephone and it flies. I made a lite version of a job listing site I'm working on but its go live approval got lost in bureaucracy.

SIGINFO is very useful. I make it a point to implement support for it whenever it makes sense. Wish Linux would get it.
