So true. Every time I have to look up how to write a bash for loop. Where does the semicolon go? Where is the newline? Is it terminated with done? Or with end? The worst part with bash is that when you do it wrong, most of the time there is no error but something completely wrong happens.

The ruling party, recently reelected in a fraudulent election has declared that EU accession talks will be stopped until 2028. This has stoked ongoing protests over election results.

I have been really happy with sway. It does all that I want it to do.

Debugging CI pipelines is so annoying, why is there no better way than committing a bunch of dumb changes until it works?

Does USB not use interrupts?

Snake case and kebab case mixed arbitrarily.

man -k to the rescue: mbsrtowcs, strxfrm and wcstold are C functions.

A major political agenda of Vim is to support children in Uganda. A message about that is displayed whenever you open Vim’s start page. Bram Moolenaar insisted on users donating to the ICCF charity instead of to him, making Vim a very political editor in my view.

Okay, who will go to court for the cereal soup question next?

While there certainly is some overlap, Python is a scripting language and not a shell language. Some tasks that involve calling lots of different programs and juggling input and output streams are much easier done in bash than in Python.

Jon Gjengset on Youtube is doing live coding where he uses neovim quite well. And you’ll learn about Rust while you’re at it.

I (luckily) haven’t had much experience using autotools, but I do suppose it was no coincidence that the injection was initiated there. I really like the comparison that was made in the post of the Meson maintainer you linked:

Several “undefeatable” fortresses have been taken over by attackers entering via sewage pipes.
