If something doesn't work for you the first time, then try again, and keep trying until you are absolutely sure that it doesn't work for you, and only then post a question. I have solved countless problems by either looking around on the internet, trying a new approach, asking for help from another human, or even just banging my head against the problem until it works.

Setup:

  • Lubuntu 13.04 Raring
  • vim (with YouCompleteMe) whenever possible
  • Dvorak Simplified Keyboard layout
  • tmux
  • gcc

Current interests:

  • C
  • OpenGL
  • Android

comment How can I print text using any one of the 256 colors that the terminal allows?
I have tried LXTerm, Xterm, and the Linux terminal (both with and without tmux), and gotten the same result on all three. Are you sure that the Linux ttys themselves do not support 256 colors?

I only get eight colors that way, though, and the terminal supposedly supports 256. Where did all of the other colors go?

Thanks for the link, but please refrain from link-only answers. If you have a link but not much else to say, then please create a comment.

Additionally, there is now a Reverse Engineering SE on Area 51. You might want to check that out.

You might want to contact the Nouveau developers, as a significant part of how they build the Nouveau drivers is to reverse-engineer the official, proprietary Nvidia ones.

comment How to enable nano-like whitespace highlighting in vim?
nano, I just realized, doesn't replace the tabs and spaces, but changes them to the "black/white on green" coloring, which makes them appear as green bars. Is there a way that I can do this instead of inserting a separate character?
