about
I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

That's because they're faster than the eye can see... :) No, seriously now. I've been a vi/vim user for a decade or so, but it only "stuck" when I realized that the singl…
comment
Aye, thanks. That's what I'll do, since I also use that in OpenBox when running Linux and it's much more intuitive.
comment
They did, they're using Ctrl+ç, which is a nice way to use an otherwise useless key for programming, but hardly memorable or ergonomic for me - I'll go and use Ctrl-Shift-T as well, which is…
comment
That be the bonniest wee joke yet :)

Are you saying Scots aren't accurate? :) ducks

Hint: Refresh for kicks.

Actually, I've been using it since the beginning and have no interest on file icons - I like it just the way it is, without colored baubles festooning an otherwise monochrome and distraction-free…
comment
Need to change that key binding... thanks to the US-centric take we've had on keyboards since the TTY days, that key combination doesn't make sense on a Portuguese keyboard.
comment
The sheer purity of that UI still gives me the chills.
comment
This. I've trimmed down severely on my use of Clojure(Script) because setting things up for kicking off small projects is just too time consuming, and large projects I dip into use other language…
comment
Strangely enough, my Dropbox client just asked me for a password for the first time in... ages. Says it's version 5.3.19.

Did a similar thing a few years back, with playlist support and uzbl as the browser (which is much faster and lighter than chromium) and omxplayer to play/stream full screen video. Just a Python …
comment
It does. I meant testing as in a process, not as in its specific purpose (and even then it's still ambiguous in English).
comment
Oh, I already do that. Thought my statement was plain enough.
comment
That's actually explained in the article. Plus it's an air pump...
comment
This is nice to see. I don't use anything but http://bottlepy.org these days because I find the decorator approach to be more elegant, but I do have a few Flask-based tools I adopted,…
comment
You're comparing apples to oranges here. Flask is a server-side framework and doesn't care one whit about what you put on top - it just serves up requests.
comment
Best testing library I've used yet is https://github.com/HypothesisWorks/hypothesis-python . YMMV, of course, but I've always wanted a little more smarts than py.test...…
comment
The open space bit keep nagging at me. I've liked and hated it in equal parts, but the truth is that as soon as I was able to spend time working from home I stopped wanting to go to the office da…
comment
linuxemu has been dead for years - it's pretty much impossible to run modern 64-bit stuff in Plan9. Like, you know, a 2010-era browser...
comment
This is excellent news. Jenkins is often the hardest thing for people to get to grips with in a CI pipeline solely because of the UI/UX, and I, for one, welcome our redesigned build butlers... :)
comment
I like the fact that this is happening, with a live Git repo and all. 9front is alive, sure, but bootstrapping things atop a modern compiler and a (at least partially) Linux compatible ABI makes a lot…
comment
Not really enthusiastic about file syncing moving into kernel space. I get that this is necessary for on-demand fetching of files, but I worry about stability and failure modes - I can see apps stalli…
comment
There have been a number of attempts. The closest is http://www.xrdp.org ( https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp ), which does basic session management against a backing…
