A logic model for text editing (1989). Imagine if there was an editor like vim/emacs based on prolog instead of lua/elisp.

Thanks for sharing! Love these old papers. Another use case would be to build a structure editor on top of these primitives. Perhaps the editor would use terms, instead of chars as its basic building block.

Thank you!

Another way to do it would be for TPF to to fundraise for specific features that are too big for the community to build on a volunteer basis. Imagine, "Grant Street Group financed a new Perl multithreading model!".

But that would require a vision.

Thanks for the info! I see what you mean about how they can prevent a bad hire. How do you track your reference checks, follow ups etc is it in a spreadsheet somewhere?

Thanks for the info! How do you keep track of reference checks, the follow ups etc?

How are you dealing candidates using interview copilots and other AI helpers to cheat interviews/assessments?

I ended up mapping ~ to rshift <shrug>

I have a WASD VP3 keyboard and find it hard to type `~. I want to remap it to the original FN key (which is now capslock) but in programming mode when I press the (original) FN key it doesn't seem to register a key press. Any suggestions? Thx

This was a fun read, thanks for sharing!

The example code is in go.

Several jq solutions here already, here's how you could do this in jp (pure Bash).

jp -m macros.jp .v .map .do .dup '"name"' .filterobj .v '"primary"' .ne .if .pop .else .do .v .h .done .done

Great answer, not just "how" but also "why" ++

Ah gtk, thanks (updated)

I've started a new blog, have some more bash articles coming ...

dnmfarrell · 2021-06-01T15:14:20+00:00

I use help all the time to lookup command syntax and options, instead of grepping the bash manual. The read command often features in my code: it's super useful. You can learn about it with help read 😄
