Yeah, this gets posted regularly. Which is not a bad thing in itself, but the last time wasn't very long ago at all. Also, if you're going to post it, maybe link to the one posted on the author's website ( https://

Technically rc files tend to be a list of commands (usually to set config options) that are executed on startup, not actually configuration files per se. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RUNCOM </pedantry>

FAIL: I got all the way up to 11% on the C drive and it didn't restart from scratch due to a disk write even once.

Pretty sure it was really just smarter filesystems that avoid and/or reduce fragmentation automatically: just be a bit more clever about where you place things, and reorganise/optimise things automatically and silently in the back

Cool page, it lists a bunch of compelling arguments. It's always good to see more and more people realising these things and start insisting on actual ownership. Meanwhile, did you know defectivebydesign.org has been around for 20 year

Why would you ask me that? I'm not the one who called it "your machine's home directory"

Point of pedantry: > The ignore file lives in your machine’s home directory in ~/.config/git/ignore. Whatever filenames are added to this file are ignored globally at a machine-level. The wording here is slightly wr

Well hi there chatgpt! I wonder if the person who couldn't be bothered writing this article actually had a point they wanted to make? I don't know because I stopped reading as soon as I recognised your fingerprint.

I second GP's sentiment. That debugger was amazing . I've never seen anything that can touch it to this day. Tell you more: you could also just run code to do things like change variables in the immediate window while execution w

Yes, yes, this is all very clever and funny and whatnot. I chuckled. Well done you. ...But has it occurred to you that by putting this online and publicising it, you're effectively daring this lunatic with nuclear codes to actually go

That's very, very cool. I especially like selecting files with wildcards. And also the amiga-like view with different sized icons <3

another fun one if you're in an exotic situation and don't have a framebuffer (or if you just want to have some fun by making your games to look worse): export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=aalib unfortunately it's only SDL1, though

by antisol 5mo ago
yep! and ffplay will detect your situation and run on the framebuffer if that seems appropriate. I'm sure there's arguments to explicitly tell it to do that, but I've never used them :)

by antisol 5mo ago
This is exactly right - you can get a framebuffer on just about anything, including pretty much any video card made since about 1990, and also more fun things like the little i2c display that your toaster has. No need to restrict relatively
