I wonder why they didn't just make an ncurses frontend to sam. You'd get regex search, selection-based commands and unlimited undo for free...

I use htop and turn the colours off... thing I like about htop is I can use the mouse. It's so F-key-based, which, especially on a laptop, means you have to take your eyes off the screen to find the keys. Of course, I'm not oppose

All languages have, at least, nouny things and verby things, and a finite(expandable) number of them composable in infinite ways, and I'd say our brains are hardwired for it. So any notation good for humans would have to have this pro

I don't chew gum and I don't smoke (I'm also not one of these anti -smoking dipshits), but it seems obvious to me that you're not just going to put gum or fag butts in your pocket until the next bin/whatever. It ju

mk originated on Unix, and so did almost everything else in Plan 9.

Tomatoes are so bitter I'd assume they were poisonous if I didn't know about other people eating them. I can't think of anything else that's even close to tomatoes. I don't touch beer or coffee with a ten-foot pole

IIRC Brian Kernighan said that. And the Kernighan & Pike book regards the shell, not C, as the primary language of Unix.

Unpopular opinion coming through: If you're not easily scared, films made only from scary-stuff-that-isn't-scary are really boring. I'll give you an example: Alien. Literally all that film is is "they go down to this

"The C Companion" gives logical identities like (A && B) || (A && !B) == A, but what he means by A on the RHS, I think, is that you must take into account the fact that A_LHS might be zero. You can't

Addendum: Redd about Scopes a bit, it's more than just a different way of invoking the same apps. A Scope is a frontend to components of apparently any kind.

Yes. When I was finally able to articulate what the problem with computing in general is, it was "I like tools better than applications." And everything is an application. As far as I can see, all that's different about this

Yep. There's nothing stopping you from rooting an Android phone, taking Android off it (or just preventing it from starting up), and then building your own thing on top of the underlying Linux.

For me it's that the odd-numbered nomths have 31 days, and the even-numbered ones have less, in the first half of the year, and vice versa for the second half. That's better than the poem in that you can't mix it up, AND it&#

If it's any consolation to you, 9front types keep on adding more and more fiddly multi-key shortcuts. Eventually it'll be like suckless, where you need the man page to even open a shell. Pretty opaque interface. Re: taking your ha
