Added to my list, thanks.

Cool! Here is an rpm variant with simplified sed:

    whatis -s1 $(rpm -ql coreutils | sed -n 's,.*/bin/,,p')

Very nice! Note if you put the | at the end of the line the whole command is copy and pasteable.

Also you could pipe to `column -t -s:` to align nicely

Also you can download the 57K index rather than the 1.3M manual to get the command list.

    curl -s http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/index.html |
    sed '/<li>.*-inv.*p>:.*[^>]<.a>/!d;s/.*#//;s/-inv.*:/:/;s/<.a>//' |
    sort |
    column -t -s:

Here is a similar exposition with links to further info, on GNU and other platforms:

http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/unix_commands/

Which is along the same lines as

https://github.com/pixelb/scripts/blob/master/scripts/funcpy

http://code.google.com/p/pyp/

I think it was tested at 200Kb/s throughput, but with tweaks that could be doubled

I prefer the much simpler approach of reusing the existing utils with a simple shell script, which is much faster than ack:

A quick test on a moderately big repo:

    $ time findrepo test '*' | wc -l
    158819
    real	0m0.532s
    $ time ack -a test | wc -l
    76526
    real	0m8.762s

That's very similar to

http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/funcpy

The new proposed functions, sounds very similar to stpcpy() and stpncpy()

Yes they're a pain in the ass, but a necessary one. `uname -s` obviously doesn't cater for the divergences and bugs within a platform.

Have a look at gnulib for things one has to deal with. BTW, one can just use gnulib and forget about lots of portability issues

Pathetic google.

"Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful."

My arse.

With source code becoming increasingly available and important, and already in a structured format, this goes completely against the above statement.

One should avoid echo anyway due to portability issues. Use printf instead.

Cool we can have reflinks by default.

Fedora changes seem to go in cycles. F11 and F14 were good stabilization releases. F17 should be of the same ilk I think.

Why do people program this stuff themselves?

    shuf -n22000 < list.all | sort > list.lucky

I just tried out my ansi_colours.sh [1] script and it mostly worked. A few notes:

wget is available, and it would be cool to piggy back the linux network stack through the browser.

cut & paste support is a must for any terminal

The space characters are very narrow. Needs to be monospace.

All fairly minor compared to the coolness of this.

For techies, the font is also an important decision. With Han typography we have:

    Song(CN)/Ming(TW)/Mincho(JP) ≍ Serif
    Hei(CN)/Gothic(JP) ≍ Sans
    Kai ≍ Script

Personally I use WenQuanYi Zen Hei http://wenq.org/enindex.cgi

There were lots of good games from around then, which I've recently enjoyed playing on dosbox.

You can see screenshots and videos of lemmings et. al. here: http://www.pixelbeat.org/misc/dosbox/

Heh, nice site.

Note I find this useful for showing how much RAM apps really are using: http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/ps_mem.py

Google were experimenting with voting on results: http://techcrunch.com/2007/11/28/straight-out-of-left-field-...

Also there is this form for reporting spam sites: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreport

Integrating the above into standard search results would be difficult unless it was restricted to users with a good "karma". That might be possible in our increasingly socially networked world

I'd already noted Neil Fraser as an open source star http://www.pixelbeat.org/misc/google_stars.html but now see he's an all around great guy

18. Could be expanded on http://www.pixelbeat.org/programming/gcc/string_buffers.html

Also no mention of integer overflow handling? http://www.pixelbeat.org/programming/gcc/integer_overflow.ht...

The standard cp since coreutils 7.6 supports the --reflink option. This e.g. will copy a file with CoW if possible, but fallback to a standard copy if not:

  cp --reflink=auto src dst

I did a quick summary of how reflinks relate to symlinks and hardlinks at http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/unix_links.html

If you view source you can see people who used to be in the table

Yep. There also is dxargs which looks very useful http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/geekery/distributed-xargs.h...

I've also used this technique. I even wrote a script with progress bar to do it, which is linked to at the end of:

http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/disk_grep.html

We've made a multicore update to GNU sort recently, so with latest from git one can just do: sort -u That will chunk, compress, merge automatically Also run with LC_ALL=C if that's appropriate as it will greatly speedup. Also see the -S

Cool I asked for -Wlogical-op 9 years ago :) http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4412

I don't see any video in firefox 2.0.0.13 at http://static.etianen.com/html5media/
