I was just reading comments on a post on Hackernews about systemd. Systemd, as you might know, is a replacement for the venerable init system. Anyway, reading the comments was reading about all the same story over and over again. Namely, there are those strongly pro and those strongly con the systemd, in some cases based on arguments (valid or not) and in other cases based on feelings. In| Everything about nothing

A lot of introductions to using a shell — whether it’s Linux, one of the BSDs, the Mac (or even Windows using WSL!) — show examples that are a bit on the light side (looking at you, cowsay 😅) or dump cryptical command sequences on the unwary newbie that make an inscription in hieroglyphs on an Egyptian temple column look easy. Both approaches make sense. The first one tries not to scare people when they use the command line, while the second one shows how powerful it is compared to c...| The BSD Cafe Journal

I was demonstrating Claude Code to a colleague the other day - I was working on an ASP.Net Core C# service, using Claude within the JetBrains Rider IDE. And my colleague said “it uses a lot of bash commands like find - why doesn’t it hook into the IDE to understand the structure?” I was a bit surprised by this - I quite like the way it uses small simple commands. Musing about it afterwards, I realised that this is actually an example of the Unix philosophy - “write programs that do on...| Korny’s Blog

I got some new SGI computers. I was surprised because I thought the SGI guys from the Czech Republic gave me all their leftovers. I had to go to one of the original SGI offices in Brno this time. The office design was very 90s and there were classic SGI artworks on the walls.

New Item: HP Integral Personal Computer I am trying to avoid buying any old computer, but a friend of mine and I made an exception in this case and bought this together. Somebody in Prague offered a non-working HP Integral Personal Computer (1985) for $420.

Last week, I was listening to the CoRecursive podcast interview with PowerShell’s lead architect, Jeffrey Snover. One moment in that interview has been stuck in my head the whole week is when Snover argues that graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are inherently “antisocial”: I realized that — you know, that the mouse is antisocial.
