Just because you can do something...
lyda
js console: document.querySelector('.pointers').hidden=true
ls /usr/share/man/man?/*
will show you all the man pages on your system. I used to pick ones at random.
Originally there were a number of manuals. Manual 1 had user commands. Manual 2 had system calls. Etc. You can type man NUMBER intro
to read about that manual. You can also use man -k
or appropos
but I've also just used grep. These days they're compressed so zgrep.
The mouse pointer background is kinda a dick move. Good article. but the background is annoying for tired old eyes - which I assume are a target demographic for that article.
Good answers. I like these. I like the more than one command in a file, that will work. And yes, should have read the source!
Well, nix would be an entire operating system. This is just for a build system to specify the versions of the tools to use.
I love that fossil exists. I would never use it, but I'm glad cranks have something to work on.
I have never heard proper reasoning for squashing commits. I don't think sanitized history is useful in any context. Seeing the thought process that went into building something has been repeatedly useful in debugging things. It's also useful to me as a software engineering manager to help folks on my team get better. I could care less how "pretty" git log looks, but I care a hell of a lot about what git diff and git blame tell me. They help me figure out where issues actually are and how they came to be.
This is yet another reason not to squash commits.
I use vcsh to manage my home directory - including but not limited to dot files. Written a number of posts on it over the years: https://phrye.com/tags/vcsh/
Projects like that make me want to create a uucp network and so I can email a bang path address to get my patch.
And then
for a one character change that adds an additional, and unrequired, semicolon.
