The Wikipedia sort for the languages is as I stated above, with Literary Chinese and Japanese between Wu Chinese and Yue Chinese. I explained why it was sorted that way, because ra…

It is sorted FIRST by radical and SECOND by stroke order. This is roughly equivalent to the Unicode codepoint sort if you stay in the basic multilingual plane. The order also puts …

Chromium is merely Chrome with only the open source parts. Chromium components are still implemented in a Google-controlled repo. So it has Google-oriented features and defaults.

This is the default font of my browser-based terminal emulator, http://github.com/google/werm , along with a handful of other retro fonts (uses the int10h.org ttf's--converted to b…

IMO it still looks rather nostalgic. I do remember using cmd.exe or command.exe in Windows 95 and later and this being the default (but it would different if you had a different le…

Yes, let's take dozens of terminal emulator projects out of maintenance mode so app devs can individually and capriciously overload my shift and escape keys, because modern.

Some say hunky dory comes from "honcho doori" or 本町通り (personally I don't see how ki can come from cho)

I wish I knew awk as well as I know perl, since then I wouldn't need to hear recommendations for CPAN modules and spurious style prescriptions.

Perl has the advantage of only having one implementation, unlike sed and grep (e.g. BSD or GNU) and /bin/sh (can be one of many POSIX shells), so upgrading this pipeline to 100% pe…

If we're going to talk about unnecessary extra processes like useless cat, we should merge the head and grep commands into a sed, and possibly just merge everything into perl: If p…

Don't worry, we enjoy that kind of stuff. I usually put all the resource freeing at the end of a function under a goto label, or only a few lines within the allocation, so it's eas…

If you store the number of zeros as value z, computing z+1 is O(log n) in the long run for unbounded values of z.

If you define predictable as computable with finite memory, it is correct. If you have finite memory, you have a finite number of states and will eventually return to a previous st…

What does `Ctrl + [` send to the terminal for you if not esc? In my experience these are always the same, so Vim shouldn't be able to tell the difference unless it's a GUI-integrat…
