   Thanks for enlightening me :) Even so, it seems like a bug that you aren't offered the Marathi version (or a choice between that and English) when you download Firefox from a Maharashtra IP. Maybe something to report to Firefox bugzill

   My girlfriend uses the HP Spectre x360 (model 4105-no), which works great in Xubuntu 17.04. It's fast, silent and looks great. Maybe a bit higher spec than you want, but then if you want to run a web browser without noscript that'

   What system are you on that needs the shebang? bash 4 on Ubuntu seems to just run it in bash, though I guess it probably shouldn't :-)

    Wow, zero memory usage and immediate output on files where GNU diff just sits there eating memory until everything is read! Thanks, that's fantastic.

    What if you have unreasonable quantities of data? I've as yet not come across a really good program that lets me do `bigdiff <(xzcat bigresult-old.xz) <(xzcat bigresult-new.xz)|less` (where the files are gigabytes of text with fa

    Apart from Emacs and Unix in general, lately I've come to depend on some simple readline shortcuts in bash: $ cat ~/.inputrc "\e\C-k": shell-kill-word "\e\C-a": "awk 'BEGIN{OFS=FS=\"\\t\"; }

    I've "bought" a lot of free software through donations, and even bought the Windows version of LR to use through Wine. Can't afford to buy GNU Parallel yet though.

    I use the "hide titlebar when maximised" option in XFCE. I'd actually prefer hiding it when "snapped" to either side too. Thinking about it, since I tend to use Alt+mousedrag to move and alt+f10 to (un)maximise, I d

    My point was that "Code editing is tree editing" sounds a bit like if you can understand the syntax tree, you understand what the code does – which isn't true here. Trees don't show the recursion[1], and a tree-view of c

    Is that a UI issue with Resynthesizer/Heal selection, or are you comparing a "plugin-free" GIMP with Photoshop?
