Re:Nushell.sh ls | where size > 10mb | sort-by modified on Tuesday March 14, 2023 @03:23PM (#35157030)
Heads-up: if current directory contains other directories, this will fail. You'll need to adjust the filter:

    ls | where { -not $_.PSIsContainer -and $_.Length -gt 1mb } | sort LastWriteTime

I'm still using 500GB VelociRaptor (WDC WD5000HHTZ, made in 2012) as my "work drive". It's noisy, but fast enough.

Thanks for your tireless efforts to keep HN clean and welcoming. I will be voicing the same idea in non-flamebait form in the future. Don't you think that you've changed my mind by shutting me up.

Joking about very important 'grievances' is worse than a physical assault.

Crafty. Well done.

Not sufficient. Should store them for at least 36 years.

I would also add:

7. Scan installation package using VirusTotal (Ignore ClamAV and Chinese A/V results).

Re:Linux 4.19 on Monday October 22, 2018 @12:17PM (#18275943)
OK, I was wrong. But still, it reads just like a pun in light of recent events.
Looks like it's a common theme among web frameworks: ASP.NET Core has Kestrel, i.e. small falcon.

Haha, I found a possible Freudian slip in the article: "Code of Conflict (CoC)". Yes, it says "Conflict", which is unintentionally true, as it indeed caused more conflict than not. [1]

Re:Ambiguous words and dictionary hacks (2007) on Monday October 15, 2018 @08:20AM (#18219077)
In Georgian languages we have at least 9 nouns and 64 adjectives for "rain", but each of these denote different kinds of rain (To be honest, most of these words are archaic, belong to regional dialects, or are used by poets only).

Re:Coders Automating Their Own Job on Wednesday October 03, 2018 @05:57AM (#18128859)
I've read on HN (don't remember exactly) a story about a military service person, who automated his data entry job and told his commanding officer, who scolded him and told him to do what he was supposed to do and "not to be clever". Maybe someone recalls the article I'm talking about?
