i3 does this well. Switching to a virt. desktop on another screen switches to that screen by default but you can also move virtual desktops from screen to screen, e.g. "move this desktop with all windows to the screen to the right". It should also be possible to configure a shortcut for "move desktop x to current screen". Personally, I find explicitly moving desktops more intuitive.
The source article has a lot more details the bleeping ripoff.

They say that as if that makes it ok.
We told you so. We told you that you need to secure devices properly before connecting them to the internet. That you need to update them. We told you, that refrigerators have no business being online. No, it is not "just a refrigerator, who would ever want to attack it".

Who on earth thought this was a good idea.

This looks great, thank you for suggesting it! I will give it a try!

All of his wishes for window management are easily solved with i3 or a similar tiling wm. Even on macOS you can get a shitty version of it with yabai and skhd (both are awesome, it is entirely macos' fault that it still sucks).
Building self driving vehicles with current tech will not work reliably and is a bad idea.

We will learn this the hard way.

They can't complain.

I am unsure which part of the quoted content you disagree with .

I may be out of the loop here, can someone fill me in on the context?

Read the BDD style acceptance tests that were written during development. This is the one chance you get to preserve that knowledge when it fresh and correct. Asking someone three years later (even the original dev) is no substitute. Oh, and you can also run the tests to ensure correctnes.

Talk is cheap. Remind me of this, if/when the "will build" has changed to "has built".
You should know, that by removing all alcohol, caffeine and sugar, red meat, bacon, eggs and sausages from your diet, you can get rid of what joy you have left in your life.

There is probably a lot less ink in the included cartridges. They always get you. Don't print.

Re:Formatting code should be unnecessary on Monday September 08, 2025 @01:41AM (#45164946)
You're misunderstanding the idea I think.

You would use the format on disk for the grep. "Your format" only exists displayed in your editor.

Brilliant that somebody did this, have to give it a try!
Re:Conventional Commit Messages on Tuesday December 03, 2024 @01:59AM (#42303631)
This is overcomplicating something simple for dubious benefit. Just write a concise subject line for the change and short description or a list of bullet points what you changed/added/removed and why.

Not everything has to have rules for some regular format.

> where multiple teams will work in the same codebase / repo

This is a bad idea in general and leads to all sorts of problems.

Re:A Journey from Linux to FreeBSD on Monday October 14, 2024 @05:45AM (#41835891)
If I recall correctly, a certain amount of CPU, memory and processes has been reserved for root for a long time on FreeBSD. This would prevent the from bomb from exhausting all resources.
Can you expand on why?
Just some hand wavy arguments.

This is such a weird way to phrase it. He was murdered by a police officer who choked him to death.

Can someone knowledgeable in the past 20 years of NetBSD chime in how things developed from that point?
