I went to https://www.keyboardco.com/ and searched for left-handed and the keyboard in the photo popped up, as well as a bunch of weirder and wonderfuler ones.

Thank you for the comment. I would not have understood "can be navigated using mouse" to mean "dragging".

Also I hate that I can't select text on this. Probably because "dragging".

I seem to remember non-blocking io with named pipes was unreliable, in the sense that the test suite of whatever-it-was (memory is reeealy sketchy, this was tens of years ago) would fail randomly often enough that we had to throw the easy solution away and do actual networking.

A bit like the .signature named pipe from fortune thing, where sometimes you got two signatures and sometimes none? Anybody remember that?

Step 1, create a named pipe, and open it in non-blocking mode.

...

Unless things have changed a lot in this domain in the last few years, that won't work reliably _anywhere_.

From the looks of it that's been generated by `circo`, which is part of GraphViz and describes itself as a “filter for circular layout of graphs” and

       circo  draws graphs using a circular layout (see Six and Tollis, GD '99
       and ALENEX '99, and Kaufmann and Wiese, GD '02.)  The  tool  identifies
       biconnected  components  and draws the nodes of the component on a cir‐
       cle. The block‐cutpoint tree is then laid out using a recursive  radial
       algorithm.  Edge  crossings within a circle are minimized by placing as
       many edges on the circle's perimeter as possible.   In  particular,  if
       the  component is outerplanar, the component will have a planar layout.
       If a node belongs to multiple non‐trivial biconnected  components,  the
       layout puts the node in one of them. By default, this is the first non‐
       trivial component found in the search from the root component.

I mean, yes, but so does the Austral and it lasted less than Bitcoin has already.

why is it still acceptable to suggest something like

  curl -sLfS https://cli.openfaas.com | sudo sh

?

In mice.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foulness_Island#Conservation

The island's name is derived from the Old English fugla-næss, with fugla (modern "fowl") meaning "of birds" and naess being the Germanic word for promontory

I've seen nothing about a "1 hour maximum" rule; where are you getting that from?

why do you have male/female (primero/primera) and then female/male (1ª/1º)?

FWIW we had to move away from python in the project I was working on because just waiting for the help took more than 15 seconds (IIRC) on a beaglebone black.

`snap install http` gets you the latest httpie, fwiw

I just wish PopOS was built on Debian and not Ubuntu.

why?

I assume it's to underline the "smaller" argument. Working at Canonical, none of the other companies on that list is "small". I think AirBnB is the smallest that isn't us, and it's got over a thousand.

I don't know how big it was when it made the font though.

    snap install mosaic

Given it's 18.04, you could've `snap install go --channel=edge` to get go from master.

(all praise mwhudson for maintaining the Go snaps -- `snap info go` for the whole story).

Could somebody correct the title?

"it's complicated"

Why is tomshardware calling MINIX a "barebones Linux OS"?

I think it's just a bit of hyperbole. I don't know enough of this to know whether http://c9x.me/x86/html/file_module_x86_id_176.html is complete, but it gives you a sense of it all. (also https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sd601/papers/mov.pdf if you haven't seen it)

Darn, saying it like that, you're going to make me blush :-D

Seconded.

This is in gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, which isn't installed by default nor pulled in by anything else AFAICT

I'd suggest removing gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

you can also make it a query parameter, which often works better. E.g. https://youtu.be/L0bMeDj76ig?t=38m18s

I think you meant ”fewer daft”.

I'd argue that startup time is very low on the list of things you want from your development system. Sure, quicker startup time is better, so improve it if you can, but you being productive in it once it's up is a lot more important, for example.

It's not because COBOL was good that things written in it lasted; it's because it was there. The things written in it made COBOL last, not vice-versa.
