Re: Sandhill. This literally sounds like BNR humour circa '94.

It works fine with GNU env with -S support, and a GNU-compatible kernel. I'm aware that won't work on some other systems, hence the 9 other examples. I said I would try that first …

These are part of the rituals of learning how a system works, in the same way interns get tripped up at first when they discover ^S will hang an xterm, until ^Q frees it. If you're…

When you say "just... run linux", are you referring to termux, or something else ? How do you run a linux userspace in Android ?

This exists, just use https://github.com/sigoden/aichat with local ollama and a model like qwen2.5-coder:7b or better (e.g. gemma3:12b). Add this to ~/.bashrc : # bind Alt-e on the…

Perhaps that is inexcusable. GNU gcc version 13.2.0 (with -O2, as documented) does report a problem. $ cat tst.c int main () { int x[10]; return *(x+20); } $ gcc -Wall -O2 tst.c ts…

I suppose R might be a better choice... library(readr) library(dplyr) library(purrr) data

I would save my data in CSV format, then use this. Save the code below as chunk.pl (remove leading spaces) and call it as "perl chunk.pl" : #!/usr/bin/perl -CSD -w -Mstrict -Mwarni…

Can you post your tmux config that mocks GNU Screen? Here is mine : https://pastebin.com/ZVWYcpyU , but a lot of GNU Screen muscle memory fails for various reasons. The main reason…

The site doesn't scroll at all on Firefox(X11) with ublock and umatrix, even when the non-tracking sites are enabled. In Brave browser it somewhat works in a janky way, but given t…

Steve Mann resolved this notational dilemma by using the term "crown", as in binary = crown 1, octal = crown 7, decimal = crown 9, hex = crown F, and so on.

Dr Brad Stanfield suggests this doesn't work in humans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVvqGAjg_J8

On-screen keyboards all seem to fail, with "onboard" crashing when you try to type, most others not showing up at all.

I wrote: > "Was the president strong at writing essays when JFK was a high school freshman? Read this essay to find out!" You write: > "when the president was a high school freshma…

> "who was the president when JFK was born?", the answer is clearly not JFK Yes, you can deduce that, since the question is nonsensical (trivial) if "the president" refers to JFK i…

Ha! Perfect example!

Am I misreading this? > How tall was the president when JFK was born? I infer that "JFK" is being referred to as "the president", regardless of what stage of life he's at. Therefor…

Practically speaking, unverifiable and unfalsifiable. They say once in 7.5 million years, so why don’t they show the previous 7.5 million years? If that's not possible, and we only…

I'm also curious how Mint resolves the security threat of Debian and Ubuntu, given its lineage.
