Lmgrep: Lucene-based grep-like utility 5 years ago
One usecase where Lucene’s tokenizing approach tends to work less well than something like grep is when for some reason we want to query for a substring of a token, e.g. if the text is “I walked through the town” and I want to search for “oug”. Does lmgrep offer a performant solution for this kind of case, or would it be a situation where it’s better sticking with regular grep?

X to close 12 years ago
As the article shows, the close button on MacOS classic was basically an empty box, but on mousing down on that box, it transformed into something that looks a bit like an x. I'm basing this on what I can see from using [1], but from my possibly inaccurate recollection of using the real thing in the 80s and 90s, some versions of MacOS had an even more "x like" mouse down image on the close button.
