I actually laughed out loud at how different this is to the usual "be yourself and to hell with what people think" advice. Can you elaborate on why it's so important to care if peo…

Hopefully stupid question but were you replacing the pen nibs? My screen has been solidly responsive for several years of heavy usage, but the fiber nibs do get worn down and need …

Thanks! Gippity did suggest the xargs approach as an alternative, but I found that find [...] - exec [...] {} + as opposed to find [...] - exec [...] {} \; worked fine and was perf…

It's a case of convergent evolution - I don't know where I heard it first, but I asked GPT if it minded and it said "Of course, you can call me Gippity!", so I do, because it's mor…

Primeagen is some kind of Youtuber? I am not familiar and don't understand what you are trying to convey here.

There's undoubtedly a setting but if you don't want it on all the time you can always add \c at the end of the search term, like /foo\c to denote case insensitivity

100% agree. I'm currently preparing several 10s of GBs of HTML in nested directories for static hosting via S3 and was floundering until Gippity recommended find + exec sed to me. …

Also just realised while looking at the docs it works for search as well as replacement, with: :S/textToFind matching all of textToFind TextToFind texttofind TEXTTOFIND But not TeX…

This reminds me of the substitution mode of Tim Pope's amazing vim plugin [abolish]( https://github.com/tpope/vim-abolish?tab=readme-ov-file#subs... ) Basically in vim to substitut…

Curious if you have any examples of these pains? I'm not familiar with the late Python 2 era but I've been writing Ruby for a long time and wonder if I'm doing some of these as wel…

"Nice" is a very subjective concept and can be used to describe people in both complimentary and derogatory ways. In my experience niceness and competence are in no way correlated …

The m3u link is broken but the recording of the "corn chip sermon" Waits was referring to is on the same site: http://www.tomwaitslibrary.info/audio/fritolay.mp3 . I can see why he…

I not infrequently find myself prefixing my own code review comments with some variant of "I'm mostly asking this to make myself sound smart, but..." and then usually (not always) …

Pacifiers.

My advice would be never to purchase anything from Haier, IoT or not. We had a washer drier that had to be repaired three times because of an enormous design flaw causing it to ove…

I feel like there's a misunderstanding here of there being a choice for victims of complex trauma to make between "suffering" and "coping". It is not as binary as this and I know p…

Telling victims of trauma that they are "allowing something external to defeat you daily" comes perilously close to blaming the victim, doesn't it?

I guess you're getting downvoted because this is basically video spam, but it's still clever!

Even if every single technological hurdle is removed the human aspect is the largest likely source of catastrophic failure IMO. A company town with ultra-limited resources and no e…

This sounds like an absolute nightmare and I see stories like this very frequently. Is this the "normal" experience of working at FAANG in 2023, and how long has it been like that?…

I have nothing to back this up with* but my understanding is that simple carbohydrates like sugar are more readily converted to bodily fat. Dietary fat is digested and processed by…

Not useful exactly but I occasionally enjoy typing `man -a tee` into my terminal. Not even an Easter egg but it usually cheers me up (jury's out on du ./gong)

AGUE (Aged Group of UNIX Experts) OLD (Old Linux Devs) SENIORS (Some Elderly 'Nix InventORS) ... Chat GPT could probably do better.

Any plans to add GraphQL support? Feels like it would be a great match, since in many cases you can fetch the schema directly from the URL.
