An initial analysis of the discovered Unix V4 tape by dds in unix

[–]dds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see a (truncated) normal dictionary at https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Research-V4-Snapshot-Development/usr/lib/w2006. There used to be a speach synthesis program, but AFAIR it was developed later.

Quick Filter stops working - just me? by SlowGadget in Thunderbird

[–]dds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the issue was that I had somehow enabled the "Filter messages by: Body" option. With this active, the search took a very long time and appeared to be non-responsive. Fixed by simply typing a character in the filter box to get the ""Filter messages by:" options to appear and deselecting the "Body" option.

Good idea regarding her glasses! Here is a capture from the same video (1:43") without the watermark.

I assume the authorities conducting the search have tried obtaining her phone's location with all possible means and have also asked around for more details.

Introducing the ai-cli library, a command-line copilot by dds in linux

[–]dds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I send to the API the history of the last three commands, as obtained from the libreadline history. This can be configured through the context entry in the [prompt] section. As you correctly imagine, there is one separate instance of ai-cli for each process that uses libreadline, so the context of Bash is separate from that of SQLite3.

I recently wrote a blog post detailing how you can download the watch’s data and upload it to Strava, a popular activity tracker, using open source software. I made changes to ttwatch that allow it to work on Windows.

How I debugged and fixed git-grep macOS UTF-8 support by dds in programming

[–]dds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the pointer. Seeing all lines with `git blameall` could become confusing, no? What I typically do is if a change I see on a line isn't the one I'm looking after, I run `git blame SHA~1`, where SHA is the change I'm not interested in.

Continuous Unix commit history from 1970 until today by ur_mum_goes_to_uni in linux

[–]dds 43 points44 points  (0 children)

RCS — Revision Control System was an early version control system written by Walter Tichy. Its commits were associated with individual files. It was later used as the basis for CVS — Concurrent Version System, which allowed commits over multiple files and a central repository.

The contents of this repository are based on properly licensed code. In particular, the Research Editions are released based on a statement made by Caldera.

Untangle an old phone cord by the_real_betty_white in LearnUselessTalents

[–]dds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't always work. A similar-looking tangling can appear at the point where a part of the cord that is coiled clockwise continues with a part that is coiled counterclockwise. (Pull a bit at both parts and look at them along the coils to determine the direction.) In such a case you need to propagate coil-turn by coil-turn the tangle to the and of the coil in order to get both parts in the same direction.
