Make ls sort by file type (then name) @glenn, you are right ... if this was a concern I would probably replace the awk with something like sed -E -e 's/([^ ]+[ ]+){8}//' to strip out the first 8 fields instead of printing the 9th |

Version control for Windows configuration +1 ... you're almost certainly going about this the wrong way. |

Can I use a different remote to control a MacBook? @Ian It might be theoretically possible, but only if there is some way to receive arbitrary IR signals using the receiver. That's completely dependent on the circuitry, and given the existence of articles like the following, I doubt it is possible: xpmediacentre.com.au/community/other-hardware-windows-7/… If it is possible, I don't believe anyone has written such an app. Given the support built into universal remotes, it seems unlikely that there would be much of a demand for it. Sorry, I think you're out of luck. |

Mac Mini drive problems but SMART verified: bad hard drive or controller? This is very interesting: "if you can use the optical drive with no problems" ... as a matter of fact, I've rarely used the optical drive ("SuperDrive") for anything except watching DVDs, and it has been giving me problems with that for some time now. I've assumed it was software, though. And the first time I ran DiskWarrior, it stalled in the middle of trying to rebuild the hard drive's directory. Very intriguing! And you're right, I should run the AHT. I'll update the question with the DVD symptoms if that turns out to be relevant. |

How to dump only a certain part of SVN repository? .. I think you'd probably find the answer on serverfault, but I think these days there are enough "power users" using SVN on their local machines for it to be worth leaving here. It got votes! |

Joining H264 *without* re-encoding My apologies; I misread that bit on the site. Glad you found a simpler approach -- it did seem strange that it would be necessary to get a special tool for this. |

What are the common Control combinations in a terminal setting To address your particular motivation, I would discourage running screen-within-screen if you can avoid it: why do you want to use screen to maintain an ssh connection to another screen session? The point of screen is to allow ssh to close without losing your active program. I would suggest to just ssh to the second computer in a separate terminal. If you do have to do it (I have done so in the past), I find there is actually less cognitive load if I simply leave the default key bindings alone. You're forced to be conscious of when you're in the inner screen anyway. |

What are the common Control combinations in a terminal setting @Dennis yes, but the keys are actually determined by the readline library, which lots of programs use. Bash has 'set -o vi' but other programs don't. So even if bash is used with vi keys, these would still conflict with other programs. I updated this answer and added one for emacs. |

Navigate to a directory just typed in a command You can't trivially get the second-to-last argument, unless you know exactly how many arguments there are, in which case you can use e.g. !!:4 for the fourth argument. |

Is RAID 0 as risky as people say it is? No, it's wrong. Read your own sources again. Don't try to include the math if you're not going to pay any attention to it. |

Make ls sort by file type (then name) actually, I'm pretty sure this will work on linux, too, but as others have stated you have some built-in support there. |

Recursively delete files on Windows +1 for the 'for /f' - this is the way to do xargs-ish stuff under cmd. Could easily be modified into a complete solution: add another line for removing directories (replace 'del' with 'rmdir /s /q'). Loop until 'dir /b /s ._*' returns nothing (you have an extra * in there). |

Recursively delete files on Windows The unix command you provide above for will only work for files. Should the contents of matching directories also be deleted? That is, if directory ._d contains file f, should ._d be removed or not? |

Regex tool for Linux Evan's point is correct. The Q doesn't specify what the intended purpose of the regular expression is. I find that it's very easy to take a regex that works for me in Vim and apply it in other situations. There seem to always be variations in escaping and other syntax details between regex implementations anyway. |
