I still have my copy of Learning Perl. Mostly because it represents a milestone in my learning. I have kept and obtained a number of other books simply because they are antiquated,…

I have long used underscores for _emphasis_, but I never made the connection that it was meant to resemble an underline until now.

This is one of the main problems I have banging my head on for the past decade, and many of the things mentioned, like Buf, Unison, and more, I only stumbled upon randomly on my ow…

This is perhaps a bit different, but Fossil supports storing more types of written company artifacts in the repo: >One notable feature of Fossil is that it bundles bug tracking, wi…

I have been doing this for decades. My files are in a sub-directory of $HOME. It also makes it very obvious when a piece of software does not treat your $HOME with respect.

What is the benefit of having this be a standard? Can't an agent follow a guide just as easily in document with similar content in a different structure?

I don't think it's meant to be a point against abstraction or a point against complexity. I think it's widely understood that abstraction is part of how advancement is made in our …

You can do better now: #!/usr/bin/env java --source 25 void main() { IO.println("Hello, World!"); } https://openjdk.org/jeps/330 https://openjdk.org/jeps/458 https://openjdk.org/je…
