    This is demonstrated in the second half of this video (around the 11:30 mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh4LhcbSmXQ&t=619s This seems good enough for emulating early 8088 an…

    I once briefly worked on a commercial system where the UI looked like it had been designed with a shotgun. Dozens of UI elements. Nothing on the screen aligned. Nothing was in a lo…

    The command that I was trying to use was 'ls', which doesn't seem to play with textview when I try it out 'ls | textview' (just no output at all). textview does work for me with fi…

    If you use less with a filename, it will work. I normally pipe things to less which doesn't seem to work for me in nu. less shows an empty input. This is possibly me just doing som…

    This seems very interesting. After a quick play I cannot find anything similar to 'less' which I use very frequently. Is there a nushell equivalent?

    You would think that an exact title search would work, but no. Same on Play Store. I am guessing that installs and rating is very heavily weighted.

    This has been a minor obsession of mine for the past few months. My first project in Unity . I had a huge amount of fun building it. ANY advice on how to find a market of people wh…

    Does any other country have a 'primary' system like the US? In Australia there is no pretending to elect candidates for each party. In our recent election we had two choices for PM…

    This is simple but excellent. AWS should have graphs like that on their calculator page to help people decide how long it will take for their investment in a reserved instance to g…

    I'm one of the guys who built ThemeForest. (I don't work at Envato any more.) I built the rollover previews on that site (which has been rebuilt and improved many times since). I c…

    $20,000,000 for 160 units. $125,000 each. Slightly more expensive than the remote control helicopters you buy as toys. If this number is correct, I would love to know what justifie…

    The more impressive headline will be "World's tallest skyscraper constructed in just 90 days." The Burj Khalifa took five and a half years to complete. Even completing this new bui…

    I've been using Windows since 3.11 and when I first booted up Windows 8 I clicked the Windows Explorer button in 'Metro' and was taken to the 'Classic' desktop. No Start menu. It t…

    Remembering shortcuts for Sublime would be no different to remembering shortcuts for Emacs/vim/whatever. I agree with the 'no modes' sentiment which is why I find Emacs more natura…

    Yes I have. My comment about split windows was about TextMate, which 4 years later still doesn't have them. (Coming in TextMate 2, which will be released sometime after Half Life 3…

    I use both Emacs and vim on a daily basis. Emacs is my main editor and vim is for quickly dropping in to make a change in a terminal either locally or on a server. Both are amazing…
