Tmtail is a quick tmux hack, working (surprisingly well) as an ad-hoc replacement for multitail, implemented with tmux and grcat. Github: https://github.com/themadsens/tmtail The following features thus come more or le

Just enable perpetual bash history and install fzf. That will get you CTRL-R (and a lot of other niceties) out of the box.

The dot command, as you probably well know, is a macro that captures the last change: was it '3cw' or 'cE' or '7s' or <visual>s or 'ct)', all changed to the last insert. All intuitively withou

I naively assumed it would work on the already installed homebrew packages. No such luck. After installing, 'nb list' and thus eg. 'nb outdated' will yield the empty list! I have absolutely no use for a competing homeb

I was lucky enough that my first employer ran the very first 4.2BSD in Denmark outside academia (on a DEC-VAX/750), so i grew up with Bill Joy's newfangled "vi" and spent countless hours recap'ing the cheat sheet. T

Sweet, very impressed. To be really usable, for embedded and otherwise, a well documented and ergonomic C API for bindings is needed though. The closest I could find was "If you need to add more predefined functions, add them in intr

I wish premake could gain more traction. It is the comprehensible alternative to Cmake etc.

Oh yes. For one thing "hexdump -C ." would work out nicely in those days.

I always found buildroot a lot easier to fathom and harness. And certainly flexible enough with the ability patch every included recipe and package.

Well said! I have met a few of these codesmells where the actual functioning is hidden behind a bewildering maze of facades, shims, proxies and whatnot. I guess some has had an irresistible itch to use as many patterns from the GoF book as

Very impressed with ghostty so far, but: Main reasons for sticking with ITerm2 (for the moment at least): - "Seamless" cut & paste with paste on "2 X right click" + "Trim trailing LF" - Quadruple click &quo

I connect to serial ports a lot in what I do, and never really understood why this should be handled by the terminal emulator. Much better done with eg. picocom, python serial.tools.miniterm or the like.

Hmm doesn't seem to do 64bit very well: 0xdeadbeefcafebabe -> 0xdeadbeefcafeb800 Is the result by any means passing through a double? like in freakin' JS!

My absolute most horrid work experiences have all involved Hibernate / JPA. It slows everything to a grinding crawl, works somewhat 99.9 % of the time and creates inexplicable un-debuggable errors for the remaining 0.1% On top of that

A schoolbook lesson in steadily pushing "because we (think we) know better" boneheadedness. Well done indeed!

Arguing that opponents to removal "can just step up as maintainers" are completely bogus. As mentioned elsewhere, this is more about eroding trust in stdlib as a stable baseline. This is just the kind of thing that will teach peop
