No need for `xargs` in this case, `find` has been able to take care of this for quite some time now, using `+` instead of `;`: find . -type f -exec perl -p -i -e 's#foo#bar#g' {} +

It doesn't correspond to how _you_ say dates; I would write 11/03 for the date, and say "the eleventh of March", so it's internally consistent. Not trying to argue one way or the other, just adding some extra contex

I have a similar problem due to the whole "gmail.com" vs. "googlemail.com" thing that came about in Europe in the earlier days of Gmail. When I got my gmail account, Google gave me a "googlemail.com" address, d

Do be aware though that this only works if HISTCONTROL is set to 'ignorespace' or 'ignoreboth' (for bash anyway). For zsh, you need to have HIST_IGNORE_SPACE set.

Looks good, I had previously used Dropbox for personal repositories, but now I might try using them for shared ones. It seems from a quick read of the design document [1] that the important thing here is the updating of refs using a compare

I was really thrown by the ligatures in some of the command snippets (diﬀ and lostﬁles). Why do things manually have to be marked as dependencies? Is that because they were manually installed at one point, or does Arch's package manage

This has reminded me of my old MP3 player, I think it was made by Archos, that had two shuffle modes: "shuffle" & "random". The "random" mode would happily play songs from the playlist multiple times, even

Not for long, unfortunately[1]: On April 30, 2014, we announced the deprecation of the XMPP Chat API as part of the release of Platform API v2.0. The service and API this document covers will no longer be available after April

You can just pull from someone's local copy, a git checkout is just like a remote (bare) repository that happens to have a tree.

A version control system with the feature set git has is necessarily complicated, this is not a bad thing. Forcing the complexity on the user is a bad thing, but git does not do this except when it is necessary to. Using git at a basic leve

So this seems like an automatic version of flattr[1], except you get the perk of no adverts in return. What I wonder though is: what happens if I visit a site that I don't want to support? Can I say no? Otherwise this just invites clic

The site reports that it charges wirelessly, but the video lists the battery as optional - does this mean that on the non-battery version if I move my Mouse Box off the mat it'll shut down? Both the USB ports shown are host ports, so i

I have 127MB of Location History, trying to use this takes out my browser. It's a shame really, I bet that much data would make for some good visuals.

I've had some good experience with iodine in the past, it's been useful at airports and on trains to bypass captive portals. It's extremely variable in performance, and can sometimes require a bit of tuning on the client side

I may have to steal that alias, good tip. Ctrl-a/Ctrl-e are equivalent to Home/End (unless you're inside a screen session, which was a terrible choice of binding on their part).
