Doing a routine expansion of my XCompose file! 𝐒𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. ( So many new characters.)

I had an idea, and now I’m wondering… how well could this approach scale…?

I love the spirit of suckless, to an extent, and I think that striving toward simplicity and coherence is important. Modern systems need an immesurably heavy dose of the UNIX philosophy. But simplicity shouldn’t mean “toss usability to the wayside.” That approach is kind of elitist, to say the least. Such a system should be usable by everyone, even if its beauty and underpinnings might not be grokked by all. I don’t want a pure system that only gurus can use… #lang_en #unix #lignux #suckless

GNU M4 CONSIDERED DANGEROUS

Some people find ‘m4’ to be fairly addictive. They first use ‘m4’ for simple problems, then take bigger and bigger challenges, learning how to write complex sets of ‘m4’ macros along the way. Once really addicted, users pursue writing of sophisticated ‘m4’ applications even to solve simple problems, devoting more time debugging their ‘m4’ scripts than doing real work. Beware that ‘m4’ may be dangerous for the health of compulsive programmers.

POSIX shell? Nah, I prefer GNU’s.

“Bash,” what the heck are you talking about? You mean eshell, right?

… like kicking a dead whale down the beach.

I kept seeing this phrase on my favorite image-board, and it always seemed so random!

But apparently, it comes from yacc’s author Stephen C. Johnson, while he was complaining about how much it sucks to program for the IBM MVS TSO, ~30 years ago. I never expected it to have any actual history to it!
