Microsoft Edge ignores user wishes, slurps tabs from Chrome without permission
I use this: https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect and am very satisfied.

Internet Explorer is Evil: The Story (2010)
> Maybe I'm nuts, but the start menu's web search results seem to ignore default browser settings and only open in Edge
You’re correct on that, Microsoft created a new link type ‘microsoft-edge:’, so that no matter what browser you use. Query’s from the search bar always get sent to Edge. They pulled a very similar move with Outlook where it now opens all links in edge, instead of in the users default browser. But for now, you can still toggle that setting back.
If you want windows searches to open in your default browser, you have to use https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect
- default links open edge
- Windows 11 will respect default browser for system apps in the European Union
-
Oh fuck off. The reason doesn't even make sense.

Outlook now ignores Windows' Default Browser and opens links in Edge by default
https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect
That should fix it, right?
I use it for quite a long time now and it works with the search bar in the startmenu.

How do I uninstall Microsoft Edge?
I recommend using MSEdgeRedirect. https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect Edge will still be installed, but it'll never be used and even the Windows Edge links will redirect to your preferred browser. It works very well.

Coming back from Edge after Microsoft shifted focus
Bonus points if you use MSEdgeRedirect to completely circumvent Edge systemwide
-
No mercy wth 💀
For those of you that want to get rid of Edge once and for all, download MsEdgeRedirect
- Microsoft eyes partnership with Firefox to make Bing its primary search engine

Show HN: Usr/bin/env Docker run
The -S / --split-string option[1] of /usr/bin/env is a relatively recent addition to GNU Coreutils. It's available starting from GNU Coreutils 8.30[2], released on 2018-07-01.
Beware of portability: it relies on a non-standard behavior from some operating systems. It only works for OS's that treat all the text after the first space as argument(s) to the shebanged executable; rather than just treating the whole string as an executable path (that can happen to contain spaces).
Fortunately this non-standard behavior is more the norm than the exception: it works at least on modern GNU/Linux, BSDs, and macOS.

From Nand to Tetris: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles
> building a cat from scratch
> That would be an interesting project.
Here is the source code of the OpenBSD implementation of cat:
> https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/bin/cat/cat.c
and here of the GNU coreutils implementation:
> https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/master/src/cat.c
Thus: I don't think building a cat from scratch or creating a tutorial about that topic is particularly hard (even though the HN audience would likely be interested in it). :-)

The Linux Scheduler: A Decade of Wasted Cores (2016) [pdf]
the yes command, writing to /dev/null, is making IO calls, which interfere with predictable scheduling.
If you look at the source code for yes, https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/master/src/yes.c
it builds a buffer of output and then writes that in a for loop
while (full_write (STDOUT_FILENO, buf, bufused) == bufused)

nohup not working?
Looking at the source of nohup, if the execvp() of the child happens then it _must_ have already done the signal (SIGHUP, SIG_IGN) so - WTF?

Is it fair to say "ls" is dead? No commits in 15 years
This got me wondering so I went and looked and it seems like lo and behold there was actually a commit to the GNU ls source just 2 weeks ago.

Decoded: GNU Coreutils
even an empty file? Yes. so now it was a file with a copyright disclaimer and nothing else. And the koan-like question comes to mind is "Can you copyright nothing?" well AT&T sure tried.
Then somebody said our programs should be well defined and not depend on a fluke of unix, which at this point was probable a good idea. so it became "exit 0"
Then somebody said we should write our system utilities in C instead of shell so it runs faster. openbsd still has a good example of how this would look.
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/usr....
At some point gnu bureaucracy got involved and said all programs must support the '-h' flag. so that got added, then they said all programs must support locale so that got added. now days gnu true is an astonishing 80 lines long.

Exa Is Deprecated
> Yes, ls is maintained. Although, maintained is a very strong word. It exists.
Why would it be a strong word? Here it is, in src/ls.c: https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils
It is then packaged by tens of operating system distributions, who themselves maintain extra patchsets, some of which are then upstreamed.
It is installed and used on millions (billions?) of devices, for 3 decades.
It's a very reliable and trusty "sharp stick of metal" :)
