Uh.... Have you tried Fish? Or even a modern ZSH? Like oh my ZSH?

I guess I don't want notepad tools. But I can set my key bindings in ZSH to vi bindings and do things like:

$ cat <<EOF | sparql --data=some.ttl --query=/dev/stdin
SELECT ?s ?p ?o
WHERE {
  ?s ?p ?o . 
} 
LIMIT 10
EOF

And that gives me a real basic text editor. Granted with syntax highlighting on, it thinks I'm trying to do ZSH scripts. But if you needed a ZSH script it would be perfect.

Second, tab works great for auto complete, it even suggests stuff (as long as you have that enabled, or the command supports it. Some clis do not have support for auto complete, but the shell does)

Modern shells are pretty fucking awesome.

I quite listening to a podcast that went hard into streaming crypto coin as a way to boost income. I think I like the idea in principle. But there is something that smells funny to me about cryptocurrency. And I don't think it actually works that well in principle. Funding open source and open access content is tough.

I'm still using Airsonic-Advanced. I know there are alternatives like gonic and navidrome. But, eh. I like buy music from Bandcamp or directly from the artist, and then upload it to airsonic. Works nice.

Do you know the etymology of these words? My understanding is that they aren't exactly "Yes" but more "As you say" or something similar. But I am no arabicist.

[–] echindod 11 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Arabic doesn't have a word for "yes". I don't think most semitic languages do either [Classical Hebrew does not, but Modern Hebrew does, however, the word they use in modern Hebrew is the word for "Thusly", that is now a particle]. In fact you can see that proto-indo European didn't have a word for yes: Greek is ναι, but the romance languages are si (I am pretty sure French oui is actually derived from the same root as Spanish and Italian. Could be wrong) and if my memories is correct (and it may not be) classical Latin didn't have a word for yes. And the Germanic words yes/ja have a similar origin. I can't speak to the other IE languages unfortunately.

I know there are also language families that don't have a single word for no, but use a negation mood on the verb. I unfortunately can't give you an example of this. But it should be fun to look up!

I use a foldable cone, and a dual voltage kettle. I'm thinking of adding a vial of electrolytes and minerals to add to distilled water. Many places I travel have absolutely terrible water, and water makes a big difference!

It's no longer parody. It's prophecy

I don't know any hieroglyphs, but I do know cuneiform. Would rather read cuneiform than regex!

[–] echindod 4 points 1 month ago

This is the one I use! Might have to look at regexer though

I haven't heard anything bad about them, and there customer support is fantastic. But I haven't had any problems with mine.

I wouldn't complain about using VSCode if the team i was on primarily used it (a la Typescript). But yeah, I'm glad I am more independent... And not doing web dev.

I honestly was persuaded to start using neovim (again) because of theprimegean. I don't like his content, but I was so tired of VS Code being so fucking slow and not part of the terminal. I used vim a lot, but with too many plugins it slows to a crawl. So when theprimegean talked about neovim, I was like great, yeah, I should try that. And then a few videos later I blocked his chanel because, yeah, it's not great.

How do you discover system builtins for C functions? The man pages for the C functions on Linux are great, but only if you know the name of the function. Is there a way to see a detailed table of contents, or to browse Manpages on a Linux distro?
