'<file' can be used anywhere in the command. If it makes more human sense to have the file near the start, you can do that. grep <file -opts 'regex'

Bringing a new operating system to market is challenging, bringing a new operating system with a entirely different architecture is even harder. Being actually different is one of the few things that gives someone a reason to look twice a

Someone affiliated with 51nb just hacked the T480 embedded firmware to make proper use of the T25 keyboard. https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/ewtm36/perfect_t4...

I've always wondered why Australia doesn't use the UK layout. Generally the same as the US one plus you gain two currency symbols that you wouldn't otherwise (without resorting to alt codes or whatever).

What has this got to do with Plan 9?

by smorrow 7y ago
When I first started using Plan 9 I thought it was great how it (ls)'d give results the same way you asked for them, i.e. if (cd a; ls) would print 'f' then (ls a) would print 'a/f'.

I don't understand kernel modules, dynamic-loaded or otherwise, to be any more or less monolithic (in the sense of monolithic versus micro kernels). Do they have their own address space or something?

I didn't think the X201s ever had a camera to begin with. The X200s doesn't.

I'd really like a USB-C-Thunderbolt-based UltraBay. That would let you do literally everything UltraBays have ever been used for and more. Can you imagine sliding the 10GbE into your laptop...

Probably Inferno, considering that it also runs proper binaries that way.
