Don't forget Rainbow Brackets

Rainbow brackets, a must-have plugin

Looks like it is opensource, so you could just rebuild for yourself.

⮕ IntelliJ plugin

The codebase usually gets bigger and bigger and you should take care of nested for loops or some other nested function scopes. This plugin will color every scope you have with the different brackets color so you can easily track in which scope you are working. Read more about this plugin.

Rainbow brackets - just like bracket pair colorizer in vscode.

The class implements the interface - com.intellij.CodeInsight.daemon.impl.HighlightVisitor. The implementation can be viewed here. The coloring takes place in the com.github.izhangzhihao.rainbow.brackets method.visitor.RainbowHighlightVisitor#setHighlightInfo

That idea—that chroot powers something as modern as containers—grabbed me. To learn more, I checked the Linux kernel and saw chroot was already a core part. So, I went deeper, diving into the Unix history repo maintained by Professor Diomidis Spinellis. That’s where I saw the chroot syscall show up around 1979 in V7 Unix, a piece of history that felt alive.

Maybe for someone interesting, too, could be the Repository "Continuous Unix commit history from 1970 until today" (https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo.git) from Prof. Diomidis Spinellis.

Every extant Unix has been rewritten since the original AT&T code, Ship of Theseus style. We still consider them members of the Unix family, because they can trace their lineage directly. One could built a Git repo showing every code change from the original Unix release through modern day BSDs, if only we had granular commit info going back that far.

In fact, it's been partially done for FreeBSD, https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo

We could in principle do something similar for Darwin (if we had enough of the historical code), which is the core of MacOS, which is based on NeXT, which was based on BSD with a new kernel. That makes MacOS every bit a member of the Unix/BSD family as FreeBSD is.

Should be available on any UNIX, it was added to V7 UNIX back in the 1970s: https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Researc...

Even before that, it existed as a standalone text file https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/8cf2a84... This still exists on many systems -- for instance as /usr/share/misc/ascii on MacOS

There is also https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo (Continuous Unix commit history from 1970 until today)

FWIW, ls in Research-V6 back in 1975 had 10 options. https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Researc...

By BSD 3 in 1980 it had 11 options. https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/BSD-3-S...

The thing is, we can see even from the 1970s 'ls' how the Unix model doesn't meet the goal "to chain these simple programs together to create complex behaviors".

There is no option to escape or NUL terminate a filename, making it possible to construct a filename containing a newline which makes the output look like two file entries.

The option for that was added later.

There's also the issue that embedded terminal codes will be interpreted by the terminal.

This is what it looked like about 7-8 years earlier: https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/BSD-1/e...
