The SDF Plan9 Bootcamp is running at the moment. Registration is under:

https://sdf.org/plan9/

In case anyone wants to try sam or acme on Plan9 without having to install the system.

If it's something that you use for a large part of your day, then there is nothing weird about it.

I checked my pi-hole query log and couldn't find any reference to the named telemetry address.

Windows amd64 as well now.

Nothing can ever replace your dog.

I think that property of a vacuum is already used in a day-to-day object.

Or just CTRL+z and then 'fg' to go back.

Or TORG .. so many possibilities in that game (badum tss)

It's possible to interpolate the correct values with a screenshot, the gimp and a calculator.

> Fred Fish was an American programmer that mailed out a floppy disk every month with a curated selection of the best open-source software available for the Amiga platform.

Fish disks contained mostly freeware/public domain as far as I remember. Not open-source software.

How to learn ViM: Stop reading articles about how to learn ViM, and start using ViM.

Looks like Geos for the C64 has recently been reverse engineered and is now available on GitHub. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_(8-bit_operating_system)#... https://github.com/mist64/geos

Interesting view. I've never seen vi as a standard. But it makes sense.

Soo, are these changes already in the git repository? Because the readme is still pointing out that the repository is for 7.4 and the tags/branches are not very helpful. Did I miss something?

Normally you should be able to yank the lines you want to copy to the * register (check :registers). The * register is basically the clipboard. You can use it to copy stuff from and to Vim. It does not necessarily work under every OS, but so far in Windows and OSX it worked fine on console and GUI.

For commenting and uncommenting you can check the NerdCommenter plugin.

Nonetheless he is right. As far as I remember Vim is based on the code of an editor that was similar to vi, and not vi itself.

Wake me when they made an augmented reality game where people actually have to do something creative together, instead of 'killing' each other in a million ways.

Why? It's the only real fun we have.

You can still use Emacs+SLIME, Vim+Slimv or whatever. It's just mentioned because of the fact that sbcl does not have readline support (last time I looked).

On OSX I also found 'rlwrap' useful when using sbcl from the commandline.

There are some html syntax errors in the (caveman2:make-project) line. :)

Didn't see the Acorn Archimedes [1].

Maybe that is the one thing EMACS cannot do.. making screenshots ;)

And then there is this: http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=8123533&cid=506646...

Well, I guess we will find out if this is going to have a negative effect on the multi-platform support.

I have the Taschen Books version. Super beautiful book.

And yet on their Server Software Developer ad [0] they have:

" Experience: - 2+ Years of Erlang Programming"

Is the top picture actually the DARPA arm without it's `skin` or is it a render of Big Boss' arm from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain? It looks very similar.

Edit: Ah, the caption says DARPA, sorry :)
