Not PP, but I used to work for an automotive subcontractor company, and I've heard a few stories about fatal car accidents that lead to lawsuits, which proved that the car design w…

Your Indonesian is pretty good, sir. Have an upvote.

For prose, it probably is the best, but have you tried it for programming? I find that my keyboard usage is dominated by text-editing shortcuts and punctuation characters. Not sure…

Just want to mention sticky keys[1], as it seems often overlooked. Instead of holding the modifier key(s) when activating a shortcut, you can press and release each modifier sequen…

Emphasis on "also". If you optimize a shell feature for general-purpose programming, interactivity will suffer (increased verboseness, usually), and vice versa. If we try to bring …

> So, bash is a programming language, right? No, it's a shell that lets you interact with the OS. All the "clasical" UNIX shells were created with interactive use in mind and optim…

Ah, we are really just one smart kid away from extinction. Something something boson something neutron, and the Earth goes kaboom. Children can be very dangerous.

> Missing semicolon. It's not missing. PP is making a point about "single-command variables."

I don't use the tiling at all. I use the multiple desktops feature a lot, though. Some programs are pinned to a dedicated desktop and run all day. Others I start in (or move to, la…

Just an idea, if you find yourself unable to warm up to tiling: for_window [all] floating enable It's stupid, but I've been using this for a couple of years now.

Indonesians themselves call it "bahasa". I guess the user you responded to is either Indonesian, or has been there.

Your command doesn't sort, only inverses the initial order. It's equivalent to :1,5 !tac

They mention history expansion, but only briefly. It is a favorite of mine. Learning the full syntax probably doesn't give good ROI these days of mice, but I think the following sh…

I think M-C-f and M-C-b do that.

Here is my current keyd configuration (on US QWERTY hardware): https://dpaste.org/aGp3o/slim (I'm not entirely happy with it, though.) The one thing I wanted the most was to avoid …

ADM-3A also has - the : key to the right of the 0 on the number row, no Shift needed. - the Enter key to the right of the P. I've made both changes to my keyboard layout and, not s…

You can still do it with awk, but with different "ergonomics": awk -F= '$2 ~ /[0-9]+/ { print $2 }' With imaginative choice of FS and RS you can push it very far. Whether other peo…

I remember one of the projects I was part of, in a big company. It was called Voyager, and was about porting the company's software, that was currently running on SunOS/SPARC, to L…
