This guys agree with you: https://www.octopus.ac/ Alas, whether their idea will withstand the current incentives structure in academia, remains to be seen.

Alternatively: changes in brain plasticity and learning may affect daily coffee habits. Yeah not so exciting this way round is it.

Placing Flatpak as the top argument on that list to demonstrate insecurity for linux more generally, is a bit like saying your house is insecure if you use a padlock instead of a proper lock, so you shouldn't own a house more generally

Is anyone aware of a nice resource that teaches the language while also showing its evolution at each step? (as opposed to just teaching the latest version only / an older version only)

largely agree, but stylistically speaking I prefer the following: if ls /tmp/goober test -d /tmp/goober echo "I'll always love you or whatever" then echo "the grasshopper always

What an incredible bit of trivia. I had no idea that's how grep got its name. Thank you for sharing!

Note that contrary to popular belief, there's nothing stopping one from declaring python as the main shell in a makefile.

Imagine if this was an academic submitting to a journal to improve state of the art. This is the equivalent of a reviewer rejecting the paper, and then publishing the same paper in their own words, saying "I like my phrasing better&quo

I've moved to dumping binaries straight into /opt folders. Honestly, this whole "if it's not a .deb it's a nightmare" mentality is baffling to me.

out of curiosity, and a total longshot, any chance you have Gilbert Syndrome? (if yes would you mind letting me now? For "research" purposes)

This is supposedly not true. Walking the same distance expends more calories (on account of using your energy-inefficient machinery for longer to achieve the same external work). Equally, walking the same amount of time as a run expends les

indeed you could argue that a CLA makes it non-FOSS, since the idea is to restrict your freedoms and the degree of openness in the first place

Love it. I chuckled when I saw a flagged comment with a telling off reply below it, and was disappointed I couldn't expand the flagged response to eead it.

Are the "[a]" footnotes also meant to be "subtly wrong" for shits and giggles? Footnote 1.5 for instance sounds completely wrong, as if the author is mixing up definition for declaration, and initialisation for definitio

Not a package manager, but I made this somewhat relevant "app" if anyone's interested: https://sr.ht/~tpapastylianou/misc-updater/ It has solved my own pain points elegantly, so happy to share.

it's important to point out that sinus irrigation is said to be able to cause a brain infection itself. hence the need to sterilise your water by heating it first. i have been doing sinus irrigation with a syringe filled with water str

I wish people would stop writing "header-only" stuff. I get it, but it distorts the point of a header file, which should be an interface for an accompanying implementation. What's so wrong about providing 2 files?

Nano doesn't have a default keystroke for "match an end-of-sentence" character, though creating such a binding in .nanorc is trivial. However, since what this typically means in practice is you'd either cut until the nex

I write a ton of code and it's all nano. I simply disagree that it's not suited for code. > defaults to word-wrap on a simple toggle in the config, or in the live session. > no syntax highlighting by default says who? Are yo

not only that, you can type ^x directly; if the file was modified you'll be prompted for a "save y/n" before exit

by tpoacher 3y ago
Saying a "modern alternative" implicitly suggests that nano is not modern, or that it is somehow outdated or unfit for "modern" use-cases. This couldn't be farther from the truth. E.g. I'm currently using nano

Aside from the fact that all shortcuts are completely and easily remappable, Nano's default shortcuts actually make a LOT of sense once you start using them. I find myself thinking I'm in nano mode and wanting to repeat searches f

Uhm ... surely up 5 would be better for that too? ^_^ I hear you though. Muscle memory is 10 times more effective than a nifty command that you still have to think about.

Less 'script', but things that make my terminal experience better more generally: 1. Adding a colorful 'bullet point' to my prompt, to visually differentiate it clearly from other (possibly also coloured) lines: expo
