Terminals 1 are quite weird. Most modern users assume that they can just have straightfoward keybindings. Right? To bind Ctrl+i to something, they listen for Ctrl+i in their application. If they want to bind Ctrl+Shift+i to something different, they certainly can, they just listen for Ctrl+Shift+i as well. Naturally…
The 34 year old C code is the C code for ed and sed from Unix Version 7. I’ve been getting it to compile on a modern POSIXish system. Some changes had to be made. But not very many. The union…

Recently microservices have been getting a lot of attention, both positive and negative. Articles about them tend to fall into two camps, which I'll affectionately label the hipster camp and the neckbeard camp. The hipster camp tends to strongly favor microservices, due to the excellent benefits they provide regarding…
In my previous post , I explored how programming with promises can be made close to programming with values. After some more work on it, and some learning from bluebird , I came to conclude that my brain doesn’t think well with promises.

What has caused you to slack off on the bug reporting? The cost of computer time or the human effort side? (I’m guessing the second.)
A quick overview of Linux settings I change on almost every machine I manage.
OK OK, I couldn't resist that title but it probably goes a bit far. Let me try for a little more nuance:
Programming languages new (Java) and old (Fortran), and their compilers, still lack competent support for features of IEEE 754 so painstakingly provided by practically all hardware nowadays. […] Programmers seem unaware that IEEE 754 is a standard for their programming environment, not just for hardware. William Kahan
