  • Most people never type a full file name on the command line, they normally just use file name completion.

    And if they happen to have a lot of files that are only distinguished by some single character, what would be so difficult about typing that one character then?

  • Because you would need to know the code for å in all kb layouts, on all OS's,

  • I settled with Debian because 'apt-get dis-upgrade', of course.

    A friend showed me an early version of Debian, probably sometime around 1996, and it was immediately obvious that this was the way. It's been Debian for me ever since.

  • This includes the Linux greybeards too.

    I never switched to Windows, but switched directly from AmigaOS to Linux, in 1994.

  • Well, most people in the world are not really quite that interested in what's happening in the US, it'd be quite easy to miss something that doesn't really have any repercussions abroad, like the opioid crisis.

  • Someone said inns and taverns,

    They're just called pubs nowadays and many of them are still in business, with drink, food and music downstairs, and rooms for sleeping upstairs.

    The one in my neighbourhood is newly reopened and serves fancy craft beer these days, but the basics are actually pretty much unchanged since a tavern first opened in that house sometime in the 1640s.

  • Yup, the lab could tell a difference!

    Awesome!

  • The amount of heat reflected/absorbed between the two sides is trivially small.

    Your particular choice of wording here makes me very curious: Do you mean that there really was a measurable difference (which was trivially small)?

  • Would it be possible to work around this by using virtual desktops? 🤔
