I would actually love a similar (open source) system, that is working cross-platform.

EDIT: I just found snapdrop [1], but haven't given it a try yet.

As a non-native speaker, I always found the term "executive" for managers somewhat strange. Why call someone who doesn't actually execute anything "executive"?

As a recent nix user (trying to replace homebrew) I'm quite interested in the Nix ecosystem. Even though not everything works perfectly on a M1 Mac (see [1] and references therein) I prefer the experience to brew for the moment.

I find the fact that MS is promoting Rust in itself much more interesting than the content.

Also, I would still really like to learn Rust properly, but I don't have any use for it currently either at my day job nor for my side projects.

I use an addon for Firefox which gets rid of all cookie banners [0]. No issues on docker.com either.

It really is my pet peeve with fish, but the last command that started with what you typed cannot be completed that way. For that, you need to use right-arrow.

I kept a fork of fish for that purpose for some time, but that was really too much hassle and I went back to zsh.

Which is pretty sad, because otherwise fish is amazing.

I observed much more crowded bike lanes (in Hamburg), especially during the morning commute between 8 and 9. There were bicycle traffic jams in places where none were last year.

Also, I observed lots and lots of blue-tired rented bicycles during the summer, though their numbers seems to have reduced a lot since the weather got wet and cold.

I believe you misread the abstract. After reading the whole article, I believe it should be "include the `2009 swine flu pandemic`, as well as the `Spanish flu`".

One of the things that really bug me out about fish shell is how it completes history. If you type the beginning of a command, you can use the arrows to cycle through all matching history items. All items BUT THE LAST ONE. That one you have to complete with ctrl-f.

And the worst thing is, this behavior is completely intentionally [0]. For some time I used a patched version of fish, but it was just too inconvenient and I went back to zsh.

> [...] whereas ZFS, the most prominent candidate for this type of features, is not without hassle and it must be recompiled for every kernel update (although automation exists).

I have the feeling that this setup is even more of a hassle than ZFS.

There is hardly anything in this article on the influence of the Black Sea on the Mediterranean world. The article is a review of a book on Mithridates and the Kingdom of Pontus (which had a lot of contact with the Mediterranean states).

> That said, a quick shufti at the casualty figures[0] shows that the absolute worst place to be, during the war, was in a German trench.

I am not sure how you reach that conclusion. If you add the British and French casualty numbers, you roughly get the German casualty numbers (the Germans also fought the Russians and the British and French also fought the Ottomans). According to the Wikipedia article on the western front [0], the entente had more casualties.

I don't think this is a fair assessment.

This post is about two plugins (`LiveShare` and `Remote`), both by Microsoft, not being open source. None of these plugins are even mentioned on Microsoft's Visual Studio Code homepage [0]. At least LiveShare is marketed as a separate tool for which a Visual Studio Code plugin exists (as well as a Visual Studio plugin).

This might be a feature for some people, not a bug.

I really don't have a use case for one of those, but I really want one. I'd love to have vim on one of those.

I put power strips with switches on most electronic stuff to make sure they are switched completely off when I don't need them. Gets rid of the annoying lights as well.

I especially like those with foot switches on a separate cord. The power strip on all the power adapters can remain hidden, but you can still easily switch everything on and off.

I can easily hit the bottom parts of every row, but I have pretty big hands.

Has somebody read the book and can let us know how it compares to similar books? Would you recommend it as an introduction to topic?

I've always heard that it's a bit on the dry side of things, but haven't actually read it myself.

> I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say the amount required to learn to distribute software exceeds the amount I needed to know to write the first beta of HyperEdit! I wonder if it would have gotten off the ground if I started today.

This mirrors my feeling. It might be easier to learn to program say TypeScript or Go today than it was to learn php or C in the late 90s, but actually creating a complete program, distributing it, having it run or accessed by users is much harder than when I learned to program back then.

I have been using Onivim as a daily driver since several weeks and am really enjoying the experience so far. Highly recommended.

Germans?

I have been quite happy with https://dmfs.org/caldav/. There is also a carddav client from the same publisher.

Do you have more details?

Most of them are, as you can easily find out by putting SAP in their careers search, e.g., https://careers.google.com/jobs/results/?company=Google&comp...

Isn't this behaviour making use of their market power and should be looked at by the antitrust authorities?

Overriding user's preferences with a forced installation of an extension reminds me very much of the old Microsoft I had hoped was gone for good.

They announced to open source with an 18 month time delay (MIT license) https://github.com/onivim/oni2-mit

If you are still interested in FreeBSD, "The Design and Implementation of the Freebsd Operating System" is a fantastic book. It's a great guide in how a UNIX system and especially FreeBSD works and written by some of FreeBSD's most respected developers.

I used solarized exclusively for several years in text editors and the terminal. But after some years I couldn't stand looking at those blue-ish hues all day. Nowadays I use gruvbox [1] the text editor (but still stick to solarized in the terminal). Gruvbox really is a nice change with it's orange and brown, warm colors, I cannot recommend it enough.
