I was surprised by the timing of this post, after recently shipping a similar tool quite similarly named (vizbin as opposed to binviz). A little more surprised to see that so many folks have also developed similar tooling. I don't know

Well, I'd disagree with the "too much thought" suggestion. Too many words? Oh probably so, but not much thought. Wait, that sounds dismissive or like faux-humility, but that isn't how I meant it. Working as I have for ov

apologies I answered the three of you all in this one reply. Hope it's of enough interest and easy enough to discern if something is not what you asked.* OK, really? Y'all dig it; that's really cool. It is my first foray in

Oh, I guess I should have linked the reason I mention the limited target audience that will get the "punchlines", especially for those who don't feel like watching a video or listening to a 50+ year old white nerd's atte

Hey! Neat to see some more folks that have a story to tell about the oerhaps unintended side effects of the way the dot was implemented in gmail addresses. Reading these dot-related comments reminded me that I once made one here about how I

What's interesting to me is that while it was obvious to all of us who came to think in the Unix Way, that insofar as composability, usage discoverability, and gobs of documentation in posts and man pages that are hugely represented in

This just gave me a flashback to something I made a long time ago, which was a tool to create a file that was a named pipe - the contents of which were determined by the command in its filename. If I remember correctly (and its embedded man

As a former SUN sysadmin/netadmin (from SunOS 4.1.4 days), I vaguely remember the Solaris releases after 2.5.1, maybe to another re-version/branding called Solaris 7, maybe? And then not paying any attention after Oracle absorbed

If this sounds interesting, and you have a moment and a favorite API, I'd appreciate your experience testing it out, or if the README needs more detail, etc. I have been solely using an old X86 Darwin MacBook Air for this, so that&#x27

You cause me to have an additional thought on the topic which is that as much as I expressed a sense of dread at the inevitable use of this sort of tech in hiring pipelines (not by agents, necessarily, but as a sort of HUD overlay on a vide

Hmm.. My first thought is that great, now not only will e.g., HR/screening/hiring hand-off the reading/discerning tasks to an ML model, they'll now outsource the things that require any sort of emotional understanding (c
