Pretty cool! Some nice examples: A collaborative pixel-based image builder: https://peace-robin-a2dw95.manyminiapps.com/ Analog synthesizer controlled by accelerometer: https://mag…

Exactly the other way around for me! I've been using screen since forever, and had no idea it could do that. Minicom I still know from the dialup dark ages.

C-o here. And C-x or C-p on a few rare nested screens in one particular screen session that I always have open. Those are identified by differently colored tabs in the hardstatus b…

Nice! Watching this. I started something myself but don't move quite as fast.

So, essentially, you have to disable mobile data as well as wifi calling, thus disabling the ability to be called entirely until they release the march patch. Nice..

I know in the Netherlands they have these little 'cars', that are essentially mopeds with a roof slapped onto them. They are speed-limited to 30mph and crash safety is on par with …

Double rot13 just to be sure.

You might not hear it anymore by now if you are still of a CRT generation since that tone is 16kHz and you quickly lose the ability to hear it.

The immune system in the elderly also deteriorates with age, so it's not as effective.

I'm a power user and have been using linux since the early days. Support has actually never been this good. Mostly due to standards in buses and hardware. Even GPU support is relat…

I like how most of the configuration in this setup is very similar to how I configured systems as far back as mid-nineties. Most applications have a simple single config file, and …

You mean LAX?

I think many New Yorkers realize how bad it is in the rest of the US. HOWEVER! In NYC, the subway is essential, and many people don't realistically have any other option. Especiall…

Yup. Any delay in Manhattan during rush hour, and the trains just pile up waiting to get into Manhattan in the outer boroughs. And in the outer boroughs, you often don't have the l…

As a EU import, I understand. Actually, most of the city is quite dirty, relatively. It's probably even a US issue. Non-rich neighborhoods simply don't get to spend much on anythin…

I remember porting my system from a.out to elf binaries. Manually. Learned a lot though.

All of those things sound like they are mostly the product of someone before you being lazy and very poor at writing maintainable software or documentation. This argument is akin t…

In my similarly long experience, I have discovered that it's OK if the tools that you use nearly every day are "arcane", whether they have a GUI or not. Any time invested in gettin…

Aha! I do own the Pebble Time Steel and couldn't identify with the issue of the poorly readable screen. I find it reads very well in direct sunlight, and when it's dark there's alw…

This reminds me of the dial-in server I built in our student home back in '97-'98. It was a 386sx 16Mhz with 2MB of memory and a 40MB hard drive that you had to preheat in the oven…

If it was 60Hz I would certainly consider it right now. But 30Hz is really killing it, the other issues are no big deal for programming work. I've programmed using cheap LCD screen…

Nope..hate that too. I've been using virtual desktops since the 90's to overcome that issue. I use up to 8 vdesktops that I address absolutely by using numpad1 .. numpad8. Each num…
