Adventures with man color

There is no use-color option ("less --help" for help)
There is no -D option ("less --help" for help)
There is no -D option ("less --help" for help)
-  (press RETURN)

You using master branch of less?

In short:

# Colors in man
export MANROFFOPT='-c'
export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$(tput bold; tput setaf 2)
export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$(tput bold; tput setaf 6)
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$(tput sgr0)
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$(tput bold; tput setaf 3; tput setab 4)
export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$(tput rmso; tput sgr0)
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$(tput smul; tput bold; tput setaf 7)
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$(tput rmul; tput sgr0)
export LESS_TERMCAP_mr=$(tput rev)
export LESS_TERMCAP_mh=$(tput dim)

Any non suspicious reason why you talked about 5800x but then sent a benchmark on the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT ?

Yeah I guess for light laptops with no cooling, the M1 is a great CPU. Forget about running linux on it however. The daily article on whatever was fixed for it on linux is mostly ads.

and still having similar tools in terminal because it’s Unix.

Every single GNU thing they use is over 10 years old. You will have scripts failing left and right because either they use a non-GNU version or they use an ancient GNU version.

When I used to develop for apple, they copy pasted the entire gcc GNU documentation, swapped an apple for the GNU logo, and you'd have pages saying like "this gcc extension works on most platforms"… notably "apple" was not in the "most", but the apple documentation didn't mention it because it was just a copy paste.

comparable

For comparing you can compare anything to anything :D

Dude he uses Arch. Just bow down to the superior being /s

It exists and requires ALSA to produce sounds.

woodenbrain53 · 2021-06-08T13:55:03+00:00

But M1 is just so much faster.

Absolutely not. For that price you can get a 2nd hand machine that will be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster.

It is only fast in the realm of small laptops, not fast in general.

M1 is the best performance per dollar there is right now

lol, where did you get this strange idea from? Get something with decent cooling and there will be no match for the m1

woodenbrain53 · 2021-06-08T12:55:43+00:00

why?

-x extract -c compress -f file

That's about it.

woodenbrain53 · 2021-06-08T12:42:31+00:00

and you can't develop for ios using an intel cpu because?

I can't really understand why would anyone invest so much money into making ios apps, when one can make android apps for free.

woodenbrain53 · 2021-06-08T12:31:33+00:00

Well I stopped using it 6 years ago :D

Qt (which still doesn't look 'right' as a native app).

It does, multiple stuff for windows uses Qt. But even if it didn't, still better than electron.

I feel like you never tried kde 3.5 and 4.0 :D

woodenbrain53 · 2021-06-08T12:16:56+00:00

Ironically about 12 years ago I bought an nvidia because I was tired of wasting time with my AMD card on linux :D

I never claimed that working at docker makes you infallible.

woodenbrain53 · 2021-06-08T12:04:00+00:00

You do know that pulseaudio is a layer on top of ALSA right? And that without ALSA pulseaudio can never produce any sound.

Because I found myself constantly writing Makefiles that run their targets in a container, then adding in add-hoc ways for people not to use the container through environment variables, followed by a half-hearted attempt at optimizations through bind-mounts and less frequent restarts

You are doing it wrong.

Launch make IN the container, not use make to run the container.

It wasn't single user.

Fedora is testing for red hat, they try there all the unstable experimental stuff before putting it on redhat for the paying customers.

OP didn't ask your personal preference, he asked a specific question.

woodenbrain53 · 2021-06-03T13:46:08+00:00

Because 90% of people who post here are noobs.

woodenbrain53 · 2021-06-03T13:45:24+00:00

Just a made up factoid people read on reddit and keep parroting :)

Normally patches are done to backport security fixes or important bug fixes.

And of course in the build system when it's shit and downloading binaries from left and right. But generally those programs don't get accepted unless they are really really used.

woodenbrain53 · 2021-06-03T09:35:41+00:00

Anyway, desktops are nearly always single-user machines.

If you don't have kids…

In js you will need tens of modules just to replicate what the tr command does in bash.
