I've rifled through many a programming font, bought Pragmata Pro at one point (as you can see I also like taller fonts), tried many others over the years (Monoid was my previous favorite ligatured font). Iosevka is my current favorite.

I've never seen a language with such a variety of built-in data types (e.g. coordinates, tags, email, url, issues). There's support for IPv4 numbers as a base type (tuples) but I can't tell if there's support for IPv6, w

I tried to register as "sfz-" and also got a 500. Is there a problem with a trailing dash? If so, can you fix my username as well to "sfz"? Thanks!

Is there a recommended way to sync this with a remote server or service? My interest is to share the info between devices. I suppose I could just use a git repo, but wondering if there's a less manual way.

True, good clarification. I had visited the more general page also[1] but thought the other was more relevant to the email thread. And definitely much better than my only other inkling for what that meant in relation to computer systems.[2]

Not quite as much activity as Scala either. I think the good thing is that functional languages as a whole aren't going anywhere, it's just that the jobs for them are spread very thin over several languages.

And not being able to play A-grade games is barely a rounding error in the pros and cons of why most people use Linux, especially in the workplace.

No, but the `-r` option makes it use extended regex[1]. Here's some PCRE: cat file | perl -ne 'print if s/(\w+) (\d+)/\1 is \2 years old/' My only point is sometimes old school standard tools are plent

Do you have an up-to-date LinkedIn account? I spend so much time shooing away headhunters I'm sure several would jump at the chance to help me find work and make their commission if I asked. Many have premium accounts and alerts set up

Oops, the grep was just to filter the lines that actually have a uid while I worked on it, it's not needed or desired if you were to actually use this. You can remove that part. :P

I like the change of pace. So many of these types of guides seem like cookie cutters of whatever the latest writing and design trends are. I find it nice to see indie zine style (stuff I like to read on my off time) fused with a practical t

I know this article says Unix specifically, but on Linux (Ubuntu) I just tried typing `ls^D` in bash and got a terminal beep. I tried in zsh and got an autocomplete as if I'd hit tab. In ksh and fish nothing happened. I'm curious

Ugh, can't we just use the Unix epoch? Time's already too difficult to program.

This reminds me of the woman who was teaching her daughter to cook a pot roast the way she remembered her mom doing it. You take the meat, cut off four inches from one end and throw that away, put the rest in the pan in the oven at 350 for

I think there's even more value to it than this. Consider the whole pursuit of philosophy. You must be able to leverage your intellect to deeply contemplate things you don't believe are actually true in order to determine the root

Neat to see the Rust source for something straight-forward like this as I've been teaching myself the language recently. Also, seeing as I just made a PR to the simplenote.vim plugin, I feel the need to make a shoutout to it: https:&#

We evaluated both Bosun and Riemann for our use case and chose Riemann. Use case is over 10,000 servers with over 2 million metrics incoming every XX seconds. Riemann simply performs better, probably because it uses streams instead of a pol
