I remember that! I think they have just collapsed to handling what most people try, evidently '[time] description'. A couple of weeks ago I was surprised and annoyed that adding an event with description "10:30-11:00 Pointles

Good tab expansion in a very virtual filesystem would work wonders: $ cat /cal/nexttues<TAB> $ cat /cal/2024/08/13/ $ cat /cal/nextweek<TAB> $ cat /cal/20

It should always work, just like every table saw should have an anti-finger-removal sensor. Pay-per-use might make sense if the incremental cost wasn't vanishingly small unlike, say, teams of people searching the woods or calling an am

My appearance is carefully refined to disappoint and frustrate people who expect me to care about my appearance. This optimizes for my time, and connection with people who are more interested in what I say and do. Oh, and low carbon footpri

I met him briefly at SIGGRAPH after an IRC chat at the Softimage booth (This was the year of the Starship Titanic game). He was surprised and amused that one of the few people who showed up for the chat was actually just downstairs. I have

I just want to know what they feed it. Can I send them an NxM mp4 as a pitch? I know a lot of people who take acid in Vegas and I think a crazy fractal animation would look great on this device.

Encountering this idea 5 years allowed me to bring order to my bag of shell tricks! I have over 50 ,commands between aliases and ~/bin and my shell life is way smoother than the previous agglomeration.

As part of the generation who grew up along with computers (that is to say that computers were also growing up) I am concerned that this level of understanding is no longer common. What happens when not enough people remember how the foun
