A command is something I shout to an underling or my shell prompt. My shell interpreter takes my command, parses it and calls the necessary tool, be it a builtin or an executable. I tell Tom to fetch the morning paper from the yard. Is Tom

I remember a moment in an early job interview. My resumé was all proper for this entry level junior position and everything was checking out. We turned to smalltalk to round up the interview. "What sort of music do you like?" (Wha

Also contrast with the busy beaver problem and how much can be done with a small handful of instructions.

Timepieces are a classic example of this.

I really want somebody to mod this into OpenTTD because cargodist was a good step and a nice approximation for a time, it's no match to the "destination in mind" pax. I'm reduced to play commercial offerings like Trans

Tell me what happens if you run a Windows machine for say 12 months and decide to switch the GPU from NVIDIA to AMD (or vice versa)? Yeah. In linux it tends to be a nonissue.

The biggest strength of Eshell, for me, is that I can maintain some sanity in Windows environments (with or without WSL). In linuxland, it's a tougher sell. Compared to term-mode and the others, Eshell hacks better and I can fine tune

Notepad going the way of Wordpad, EDIT.COM becoming the new Notepad. What's next, in a few years we're rocking EDLIN when we need to operate on a text file safely?

I love this. Shouting into the void with the distinct feel, hope that if the idea was popular enough, it'd be brute forced back to existing. I noticed that the input is not being treated any way before hashing. I'd remove all non-

I'm still using Firefox and loving it actually. Other browser engines don't support "zoom text only" anymore so my options are limited. And to my knowledge, there's nothing as good as uBlock Origin for those webkit&

I don't know what kind of a joke you tried here, but I think a vast majority of TV screens can be put in game or PC mode, and all the input lag and stupid picture processing goes away. I run a 43" LG 4K TV as a PC monitor and neve

Fantastic tools you've collected here! My rationale for building own decks for my wife is that I'm intending to start slow and easy, and I'll build new cards that are closely tied to days' lessons I'm giving her. I&

Don't you just put tick "know this already" or whatever mechanism is used. It'll be asked a couple of times but it shouldn't be "relearned from scratch".

Perfect timing. I just started to teach my wife Finnish so that she'll have easier time with real language lessons when she gets her paperwork sorted out to move here. And I've feverishly been looking for a self-hosted SRS system

My first instinct is that users abuse it like they do any other report/downvote mechanism. They see something they just don't plain like, they report it as AI slop.

Oh, you think it's undervalued?
