I really can't recommend Drew Neil's resources enough. The vimcasts¹ series are great if you're the sort of person who likes videos to learn with, and both his books are excellent²³. …

1) In the specific instance I hit when I wrote that comment I wanted a variant of `**/*(.Om)`, which gives me files sorted by mtime. I think I'd probably have ended up with a `find ... | xa…

[My bad, I wasn't very clear in my comment.] I do use `fd` in simple cases as it is sooooo fast, but it has quite limited functionality compared to zsh's extended glob syntax¹. I must add…

I really want this to succeed¹, but I struggle to use it. How are people that are testing/using it coping without the normal niceties of their regular setup? I'm wondering if there are j…

Somewhat related: textual-paint¹ which uses the same interaction library, and was recently discussed here². I'm noting this purely because I'm enjoying the increasing frequency of rich³…

With zsh you can call it with the noglob builtin¹, that way it doesn't try to parse the bracketed section as a globbing pattern; if that works for you, then you can simply "alias qalc='…

There was a really awful and amazing floating point implementation posted here¹ a couple of years ago, with a few interesting comments too². I remember it in part because I was surprised there wasn&#…

Unless I'm misreading your comment, zsh does provide similar functionality via zsh/mapfile¹. It, and a lot of other cool stuff, is documented in zshmodules(1). ¹ https://zsh.sour…

Some time back I sent a "thank you for moderating" note, and about a minute after I hit send it dawned on me that the hn@ inbox was probably also collecting a few "I'm being silenc…

There was an extension¹ posted a few years ago² which implements blocking on the client side. The possible issue is there may be some users who you wish to block in the general case that do add val…

There are far more public extensions than I realised¹, many of which look really interesting… and some of which I've made crappy versions of myself. ¹ https://sqlpkg.org/all/…

Like always, it depends. The hardware section on the wiki lists some device specifics¹, and if you follow the OnDebian² links there are a couple that look like they might work-ish out of the box. Pr…

There was an interesting use case for the early zero language code. It allowed the checksum to remain intact when switching from early SBN to I SBN, all you had to do was prefix with zero. It isn&#x…

Not OP, but the one that sticks in my mind¹ with comments². Although, I also could've sworn I commented on it :/ ¹ https://nullprogram.com/blog/2023/04/29…

f1metrics¹, which is sadly no longer updated, contains an awful lot of historical analysis on F1 team and driver ranking, often peppered with rabbit hole footnotes. If you also get your thrills from …

Related: 2bit Astrophotography with the Game Boy Camera¹, which features a few surprisingly large accompanying photos. ¹ https://pietrow.net/astrogb.html …

I think if I was going to attempt to push cricket to a new audience I'd take The Hundred¹. Simpler to explain, predictable timings for media, added entertainment sparkle as part of the design fo…

Every time I see this I'm hoping that it has taken off, because it feels like such an obvious improvement. Instead of that we have some support for it in FreeBSD, and a homegrown solution in som…

Perhaps it was this¹ impressively huge archive? The main index² on that site is such a masterpiece, I'm unsure whether it is art or satire or satirical art. Regardless, pure genius for my overlo…
