Not GP, but I presume they're talking about alternative currencies¹. Things like the Ehki in Bilbao or Eusko across the border in Basque France. I'm picking those two on purpose because …
comment
The UNIX-HATERS Handbook¹ may be a good place to start for a historical perspective, as are the hundreds of comments that land when it has come here²³. A bunch of the comments in the HN postings are …

In France, so "meuh" ;) I think a few of the French animal onomatopoeia feel more correct to me than their English counterparts. For example, I can't unhear coin-coin with ducks any …

"Exact scale (1:1) illustration of a 5M⊕ PBH."¹ ¹ https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.11090
comment
Absolute full agreement. Repeating my comment from yesterday's forgotten submission¹: Pipes was the only example of the "no/low code" idea that ever made me believe that possible …
comment
Pipes was the only example of the "no/low code" idea that ever made me believe that possible future was remotely feasible. I saw a fair few co-workers produce some really interesting…
comment
FTA "Amiga Unix contained no compatibility layer to allow AmigaOS applications to run under Unix," however there was software to go in the other direction¹. Looking at Aminet it looks like …
comment
Using "unset zle_bracketed_paste" should do what you want, but I've only tried it in rxvt-unicode and the vte-based term I have. It stops zsh reacting to the escape sequences used by…

From the zsh manpage: >| word

Same as >, except that the file is truncated to
zero length if it exists, even if CLOBBER is unset.
Note : If you&#x…

I've leaned on simply "yeah, but long since solved" when lunchtime chats were still a thing. It was the fastest way to shut down that branch in my experience. However, I do like your f…

As someone who has had this conversation when trying to sell people on D a few times¹ it seems like an odd way to respond to it. When the licence text contained "the Software is copyrighted an…

A little discussion back in 2016¹. I find the general idea really appealing, in much the same way I'm pulled toward ii IRC client² from the suckless folk. It just feels right, even if other to…

Whoops, yeah. My bad. Unfortunately, I can't edit the URL field.

Seeing the stories with comments comparing the RFC-3339 and ISO-8601, this feels like a good time to point to Markus Kuhn's excellent summary of the standard. It is a great introduction for peop…

Hmm, so they do. I just found a couple of WMO bunkers near-ish to me that have been for sale recent(ish)ly. £20k guide prices seem strangely cheap. http://www.upfs.co.uk/property…

Sorry for the confusion, mutt is a MUA¹. It is too easy to assume people have the same acronym background :/ I'm surprised your post didn't get more traction, the general idea fixes a …
comment
Having long resorted to only reading issues in my MUA because t-prot¹ can fix some of the awfulness, I like this. [Crosses fingers to get buy-in from stakeholders to enable it in shared projects.] ¹…

Presumably GitHub's search page wasn't the intended link. The mailing list has some info¹, but there is probably a better link somewhere. Edit : The PR discussion linked in the email is…
