Ironic, considering that FoodWishes has been on Blogspot forever. Blogspot (Google) could auto-generate it on the fly.

I had never tried footclient. Thank you for the correction.

This can be done through Nautilus scripts.

cat ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/Ghostty

#!/usr/bin/env bash

ghostty --working-directory=$(pwd)

cat ~/.config/nautilus/scripts-accels

<Ctrl><Shift>F4 Ghostty

- It looks good. Or more correctly, it is easy to make it look good. If one spends a lot of time in the Terminal emulator, it looking good has some positives.

- It uses plain text configuration that is easy to modify and version control.

Edit: - At least on Linux, foot's support for windows and tabs is limited to starting an entirely new process.

The D in DVCS working as expected.

The article is good, but I am more impressed by how the author has been posting every day since May 12th, 2008.

My old blog posts come up in the first page of search results for niche topics a lot, and it is very satisfying when someone reaches out to say that they benefited from it.

On a side note, after writing frequently for ~12 years, I didn't write anything for the next 6. This discussion came at the right time - it nudged me to publish two posts yesterday.

Lodge, the American maker of cast-iron cookware is a possibility.

This site has implemented this. http://vitaminsdesign.com/projects/lego-calendar/

Their JS in not minified, you may want to take a look.

I wrote Commentary to address this issue - https://github.com/sdqali/commentary

May be blog is not the right name for it. This is useful in a situation where you want to write something quickly without going to the lengths of publishing a full blog post and then want to share with someone who is not in to Gists and GitHub.

Also, see http://gist.io where I took the idea from.

Cheers.

This has existed for ages in the form of GNU Screen. (Or Byobu, if you want a variation with bells and whistles.)

I did history | grep -v "=" | .... to ensure that commands where I specified environment variables are ignored.

The method I have found to stop tracking is to use /etc/hosts to block all traffic to sites that I don't want anything to do with including Facebook and their CDNs. I based it around https://github.com/leto/Util/blob/master/config/etc/hosts.bl... and have added more tracker/advertisement domains as I have encountered them.

I am curious to know in what way have you felt that the Facebook way of rendering your app in an iframe restricts the user experience?

I have a Samsung Note 2, from Verizone. While it came with a lot of apps I don't want (like the NHL app), it did not have the FB app.

I got a <video> tag as well. Firefox on Mac OS X.

Could you explain how this is "pumping and dumping"? What I have learned from the material floating around is that there are fundamental difference in the architectures of Chrome and Safari and how they talk to WebKit. Google decided to go their own way because maintaining the common code base was a pain for both sets of developers.

I would like to point out that linguistically there is no language called Hindi. The modern Hindi is a Sankritized, modernized register of the Hindustani language - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindustani_language

I am not sure if somebody amalgamated all those languages to form Hindi in 1947. The original article 343 of the Indian constitution specified Hindi in Devnagri as the national language, mostly out of the insistence of people like Gopal Krishna Goghale who while agreeing that English is a better language for law-making (http://www.constitution.org/cons/india/p17348.html) argued that we should not declare it the national language because of the colonial past.

The Official Languages Act of 1963 and subsequent amendments to article 343 cleaned up this mess.

Edit: Clarified the correct article of the constitution. I originally said Article XVII, but it should have been Part XVII.

I am curious as to what in the Samsung Galaxy S4 looks cheap to you?

Does App.net as a platform need an application with these capabilities? I would think that App.net has far less spam.

Thanks for that link.

I can relate to this. I was the eldest of six children and my father worked in an Aluminium fabrication factory. Things were pretty hard and early on, I realized that the only way to change things was to study hard, get to a good college and earn a degree.

Although I was a really good student at school, when I finished school, I was told by my extended family that it was the end of education for me and that I should go find a job (Masonry, construction, etc.)

I had to work hard to convince everybody that I would do well at college and they should bet on me.

Looking back, my family did make a risky bet on me as the amount of money they spent on my college education was way above what they could afford and they had to borrow a lot.

I worked my socks off at college and have been able to change a lot of things in my extended family.

There are still parts of India where there is tremendous social respect for "well educated" people. This can be easily seen if you observe Matrimonial ads. It would be clearly mentioned that people are looking for someone with college degrees, post graduate degrees etc.

On a tangential, I have always found matrimonial ads a very interesting mirror on the Indian society. The way these ads show people's ambitions and fears is amazing.

I liked your "Git for everyone idea".

But thinking about it a bit more, this idea can be split into:

1. Collaborative editing - Google Docs already allows this to some extend.

2. Document history - Tools like MS Word already does this to some extend. There is still a lot of room for improvement.

3. Using Git as a document store - Is Git really needed for this? Even if the system was backed by Git, would not it be better if the whole Git related parts are hidden from the user? Even if the system uses Git as the store, in order to present changesets that are meaningful to the user, the system will have to process the Git changesets. So why use Git?

I am neither a gamer nor a game collector. However, the size of this collection and the effort you put in to amass it are incredible.

If the only reason you want to sell this collection off is to get more money that can be invested in improving emulation for European and Japanese sets of the games, would not a KickStarter/Indiegogo campaign be a better idea?

You would get to keep your prized collection, while the emulation efforts get funded by people who would benefit from it.

Can you provide examples of "startups born and brought up and marketed in India" that have terrible usability?

This looks awesome. The elements on your pricing page could do with some Bootstrap love.

After much deliberation, I deleted my Facebook account around 1.5 years ago. I even ensure that nothing from Facebook can be accessed from my computer.

Like you, I have lost out on the weak ties, but have decided that I would rather lose those than let Facebook know everything in my personal life and my activities on the web.

I got tired of having to look this up and decided to write a Chrome plugin to load the cached version of pages. You can download the extension from here - http://blog.sdqali.in/downloads/GetCache.crx

You might find it useful.

EDIT: Fixed minor typo.
