They are fundamentally different ways of thinking about editing, so this doesn't read like an apples to apples comparison. Vim is all about chaining small commands together to perform complex operations, like building a pipeline in UNI

It's not surprising that it's possible, sixels are basically just a canvas. It's that they've always been a novelty, very rarely used or supported. Yet somehow they made it into a commercial product in 1992 -- that'

WordPerfect 6 did have an optional graphical mode that wrote directly to the framebuffer, I've never used it though! Is it possible you're thinking of that? There is a screenshot of it on this page: https://thewandering

You mean because it uses foo=bar rather than --foo=bar? I don't know, it's not that weird. I mean, find uses parentheses for forcing evaluation precedence, e.g. -foo -or $ -bar -and -baz $. That's pretty unusual.

Even if firefox was running under a different UID, they would still have to grant it access to the X server via xhost/xauth or whatever. They have certainly misunderstood the attack. Claiming this has zero utility is effectively saying

Funny, I think I might be one of the worlds foremost experts on PostScript security :) I spent a lot of time researching PostScript interpreter security, and ended up finding a bunch of really interesting bugs. There are of course the regul

I'm surprised to hear that, I thought retdec was pretty well regarded.

I spoke to the researcher on twitter, his claims don't make much sense. He sent me a file he said proved his claims, but it was just some naïve attempt at directory traversal that couldn't possibly work. When I told him that, he s

Thanks! I still use 123 basically daily, It's really grown on me and I can use it very efficiently. I wrote a display driver to fix a few quirks when using it in a modern terminal ( https://github.com/taviso/lotusdr

Until recently there was an art project called olduse.net that replayed usenet posts with a 30 year time delay. It worked over nntp so you accessed it with a newsreader. I really enjoyed reading through old discussions at the speed they hap

Can you explain the wlroots issue?

You have the source, you have a binary that you've produced from that source, and you have a binary that someone else claims was produced from that source. You know without doubt that the binary that you produced was built from the sou

Why didn't you just build from source, and then use those binaries? What did the reproducibility add?

Makes me think of WOLK, a popular kernel patchset back in the early 2000s. It didn't feel like a real kernel release until the WOLK patch was ready.

Hah, I use an old DOS grammar checker called Grammatik. It works well enough for me, I use it with mutt instead of ispell. Naturally, it's 100% offline. I made a (terrible?) unboxing video a while ago: https://www.youtube.co

That's really cool. I made a terrible one for SHA1 years ago, yours is 1000x better. https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/sha1/visualize.html I read a paper at the time where someone described a tool they made to find a nea

Hmm, how would you replicate the alignment operation they show in the gif using vim? I couldn't immediately think of how to do it. I guess you could select the block, then maybe s/\>\s\</\=repeat(' ', 20 - col

No, I always use gdb :) It also has a persistent history, variables, functions, base conversion, etc. I guess it doesn't have unit conversion or a math library, but it's a great programmers calculator.

It's also worth noting that if you're caught playing games like this, there is really no way to explain your actions that would avoid serious consequences. If however, you used the "bugdoor" method, you can plausibly den

I do something similar, I noticed that a link to a tweet in an article that I'm reading will always result in me clicking through and then wasting time catching up. I used this filter, it makes twitter links look like normal text:

That's funny, I had this tab open this weekend while I was trying to make a silly terminal game, where each sprite is an ncurses window. I didn't really make much progress, but got the physics and sprite drawing working. https:&#

Clever, but I'm curious why you don't use VLOOKUP? It's simpler, and Lotus 1-2-3 doesn't have MATCH! :-) I think something like this would work... (income-@VLOOKUP(income,table,1))*@VLOOKUP(income,table,3)+@VLOOKUP

I've had to endure dirty tricks, even threats and fabricated accusations from Microsoft. It's not a whole lot of fun. Thankfully no black vans or ominous packages in the mail (yet).
