I've rifled through many a programming font, bought Pragmata Pro at one point (as you can see I also like taller fonts), tried many others over the years (Monoid was my previous fa…

The screenplay will practically write itself. This section seems to be a direct accusation of attempted obstruction of justice, even though it's unable to be corroborated: > I had …

I've never seen a language with such a variety of built-in data types (e.g. coordinates, tags, email, url, issues). There's support for IPv4 numbers as a base type (tuples) but I c…

Sweet! Thanks! https://www.dwitter.net/d/727

I tried to register as "sfz-" and also got a 500. Is there a problem with a trailing dash? If so, can you fix my username as well to "sfz"? Thanks!

Workrave[1] is good for this too. Just set short breaks to 20sec every 20min. [1] http://www.workrave.org/

FWIW I found a great vim colorscheme[1] for such purposes. [1] https://github.com/AlessandroYorba/Despacio

Is there a recommended way to sync this with a remote server or service? My interest is to share the info between devices. I suppose I could just use a git repo, but wondering if t…

True, good clarification. I had visited the more general page also[1] but thought the other was more relevant to the email thread. And definitely much better than my only other ink…

Not quite as much activity as Scala either. I think the good thing is that functional languages as a whole aren't going anywhere, it's just that the jobs for them are spread very t…

And not being able to play A-grade games is barely a rounding error in the pros and cons of why most people use Linux, especially in the workplace.

For any other layer-7-only arm-chair mechanics who also weren't sure what a HAL[1] was, I'm here to help. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_(software)

No, but the `-r` option makes it use extended regex[1]. Here's some PCRE: cat file | perl -ne 'print if s/(\w+) (\d+)/\1 is \2 years old/' My only point is sometimes old school sta…

I'm so glad I don't have to only rely on a journalism source across the globe and can count on my local paper to warn me about such things. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Alatimes…

Do you have an up-to-date LinkedIn account? I spend so much time shooing away headhunters I'm sure several would jump at the chance to help me find work and make their commission i…

Oops, the grep was just to filter the lines that actually have a uid while I worked on it, it's not needed or desired if you were to actually use this. You can remove that part. :P…

> (and there doesn't seem to be a way to resolve usernames, as `netstat -e` does) Challenge accepted: ss -e | grep uid | gawk 'match($0,/uid:([0-9]+)/,u) {printf "%s user:",$0;syst…

I like the change of pace. So many of these types of guides seem like cookie cutters of whatever the latest writing and design trends are. I find it nice to see indie zine style (s…

I know this article says Unix specifically, but on Linux (Ubuntu) I just tried typing `ls^D` in bash and got a terminal beep. I tried in zsh and got an autocomplete as if I'd hit t…

Ugh, can't we just use the Unix epoch? Time's already too difficult to program.

Indeed, and following their lead, I created SBFL (Simple Brainfuck Language) since most find the original specification too esoteric. So instead of writing this Hello World program…

I think the interesting part that relates to this experiment is that it's not worth it to the brain to expend a considerable amount of energy in honing the precision of deciding wh…
