Just enable perpetual bash history and install fzf. That will get you CTRL-R (and a lot of other niceties) out of the box.

The dot command, as you probably well know, is a macro that captures the last change: was it '3cw' or 'cE' or '7s' or s or 'ct)', all changed to the last insert. All intuitively wi…

Whats with all the fuss over multicursor. How is this different from just using '.'

I naively assumed it would work on the already installed homebrew packages. No such luck. After installing, 'nb list' and thus eg. 'nb outdated' will yield the empty list! I have a…

I was lucky enough that my first employer ran the very first 4.2BSD in Denmark outside academia (on a DEC-VAX/750), so i grew up with Bill Joy's newfangled "vi" and spent countless…

More often than not you want 'de' or 'ye' rather than 'dw' or 'yw'

Sweet, very impressed. To be really usable, for embedded and otherwise, a well documented and ergonomic C API for bindings is needed though. The closest I could find was "If you ne…

I wish premake could gain more traction. It is the comprehensible alternative to Cmake etc.

Oh yes. For one thing "hexdump -C ." would work out nicely in those days.

I always found buildroot a lot easier to fathom and harness. And certainly flexible enough with the ability patch every included recipe and package.

Well said! I have met a few of these codesmells where the actual functioning is hidden behind a bewildering maze of facades, shims, proxies and whatnot. I guess some has had an irr…

Very impressed with ghostty so far, but: Main reasons for sticking with ITerm2 (for the moment at least): - "Seamless" cut & paste with paste on "2 X right click" + "Trim trailing …

I connect to serial ports a lot in what I do, and never really understood why this should be handled by the terminal emulator. Much better done with eg. picocom, python serial.tool…

LuaRT is based on ZeroBrane, actually :-)

Alfred ( https://alfredapp.com ) has a snippet manager (and a _whole_ lot more kbd goodies)

You can: Help for bash 'history -s args': The args are added to the end of the history list as a single entry

Incidentally, this is how you add a second external monitor to an M1/M2 macbook

Hmm doesn't seem to do 64bit very well: 0xdeadbeefcafebabe -> 0xdeadbeefcafeb800 Is the result by any means passing through a double? like in freakin' JS!

I swear by "Monaco Nerd Mono" It was a revelation to discover "Monaco" when I first got started on the mac. So casual yet stylish and refined.

My absolute most horrid work experiences have all involved Hibernate / JPA. It slows everything to a grinding crawl, works somewhat 99.9 % of the time and creates inexplicable un-d…
