Re:Eza: A modern, maintained replacement for ls on Monday July 22, 2024 @01:07PM (#41036728)
I do the same in bash, but it's a bit wordier:

  _chpwd_hook() {
    if [[ "$PWD" != "$PREVPWD" ]]; then
      ls
      PREVPWD="$PWD"
    fi
  }

  PROMPT_COMMAND=(_chpwd_hook)
Goes well with

  shopt -s autocd
  alias r='cd -'

Can you spot the mistake?

Neither can I. :-)

Well done.

You can access about:config with chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml even in non-nightly versions.

> I've heard that welding stainless steel gets it too hot and removes something (the carbon?) essentially de-stainlessing it (?).

I don't know if it's possible, but even if it is, it's not the carbon that makes the steel stainless. It's the additional chromium, nickel, or molybdenum.

Maybe when the steel melts during the welding process, those other metals get separated from the iron.

In about:config

  widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override 20 
  widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style  4
  widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled   false
I even use a custom gtk.css to improve things further:

  scrollbar, scrollbar button, scrollbar slider {
    -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: true;
    -GtkScrollbar-has-secondary-forward-stepper: true;
    -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: true;
    min-width: 20px;
    min-height: 20px;
    border-radius: 0;
  }
It's a shame we have to resort to this to get decent scrollbar behavior.

did you mean to ask if Signal's own infrastructure would geoblock EU users?
Re:NSA Ghidra open-source reverse engineering framework on Wednesday May 29, 2024 @08:30AM (#40511234)
What's the history of the name?

Ghidra sounds Russian (Гидра) for Hydra.

Was it considered cool to use Russian words for hacker/spy things?
