Are you still wearing a mask and scared of COVID I assume? The best security measure one can have is being an absolute nobody. if anything pirated software is an indicator of low wealth and thus should make you more secure not less
What does mask and COVID have to do with the current discussion? Leave your politics out of this.
Old things that were useful long time ago but long fallen from grace at home: Firefox, uTorrent, WinRAR. Home software I still use and want to mention - Steam.
Judging from rest of the topic i spent my life on completely another Earth planet from rest of ppl here. And there most fun software was games written in C++ and running on Windows like OSes.

Unwarrented fear of an extremely low-probability bad outcome.
That number would have been much higher if there were more people like you, going against medicine and scientific recommendations.
We won this battle despite people like you, so please, leave your bad science, conspiracy theories out of this technical forum.

COVID killed more than 6 million people. That number would have been much higher if there were more people like you, going against medicine and scientific recommendations. We won this battle despite people like you, so please, leave your bad science, conspiracy theories out of this technical forum.
COVID trimmed weeks or months off the lives of people who were already on their way to the end of their lives in a matter of 12/48 months.

nano is such a lifesaver. It's pure Unix – does one job really well, doesn't try to be half an IDE like vi and friends, just a friendly little text editor that pretty much everyone can use within minutes. Nothing better for quick edits on remote systems beside never having to do quick edits on remote systems.
I used joe, pico, nano since 1994 and someday I will finally change the key bindings so that I have this in mline with my vscode. This is by far the biggest drawback of switching editors and being lazy at the same time.

I don’t think people who use bash actually want to use it. even macos switched to zsh a few years ago.
The macOS change was likely driven by the license which keeps the shipped Bash at version 3. The numbers for Homebrew installations of Bash suggest hundreds of thousands of people choose to use it.

> Pipe this into that and through seven pieces of software that sound like glibgcd, add 8 arcane flags and in the end you have some kind of textfile that would've just as easily been made in some handmade program? What exactly is the selling point for devs? No, that's exactly the selling point. Yes, you could write some hand made program. And piping software together IS a kind of hand made program. It's just going to…
>Yes, you could write some hand made program. And piping software together IS a kind of hand made program. It's just going to be far faster to write that pipeline, than to write a custom program, deploy, and run it. I suppose the speed of implementation depends entirely on your available experience. If I were to try to reproduce the data processing pipeline in your link, it would take me hours to get to this line "ca…
Strangely enough: Windows. Yes, I fucking hate Windows 10/11 for several laundry lists' worth of reasons, but you know what? At the end of the day, Windows is the only desktop OS that enables me to use my computer to do the shit I need or want to do. So long as that fundamental principle as a tool is not violated, I will forever be thankful for Windows regardless what criticism I might have for it.
Software development is a much better experience on Linux compared to Windows (unless you stay within Visual Studio). If you do tasks that are well supported by your OS, your experience will be mostly good. Don't run servers on MacOS, don't develop on Windows and don't game on Linux. Or do it anyway and deal with the unpolished aspects of it.

I've done lots of dev on both linux and Windows. Neither is "better" IMHO. I started on Linux, but today my main work and personal systems are both Win10. I also have a persoanl Linux laptop I use sometimes (currently Pop_OS, because I felt like trying that). There's certain things easier on one or the other, usually caused by silly hardcoding of paths (or other OS-specific assumptions). I've run into this with pytho…
A note on the unix tools, if you have git (with git bash I guess) installed, you can add C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin to your environment Path and you'll have access to ls, grep, tail, etc... from powershell.

Going to use this, thanks! How do I limit it to N number of commits?
Not sure. But I can use it on the Linux kernel without issue, which is 1,107,114 commits at the time I just tested it. So I have never felt a need to limit it. EDIT: Probably could use the "--max-count= " option to `git log` which is documented in the man page.
$ git rebase -i HEAD~5
to clean up the last 5. Can I do this with `git frbi`? Or is the point that I don't need to since all commits are "picked" by default so you just "s" and "r" the ones you want to and leave the rest?
