Linux@lemmy.ml•Has anyone here ever tried Linux From Scratch?English
15·2 years agoI ran it as my primary distro on my main machine for a while way back when. I don’t recommend that.
What I do recommend is going though the entire process even if it’s just in a VM. It’s incredibly educational and will teach you a ton about Linux and OS construction in general. I used to recommend it to everyone I was teaching linux/ Unix too and all the students who actually went through it and completed it now have successful IT careers. 100% an incredibly valuable teaching resource, you will look at all OS’s with new eyes after you’ve built one bit by bit from source by hand.
I prefer FreeLager myself.

Programming@programming.dev•With AI looming, is there still space for new coders?English
3·2 years agoThank you for not being the rare rational outlook on AI and buying into the AI fear mongering, or the AI hype train.
AI is the new auto hammer, it can do things faster and sometimes better. Why you can build a house faster and with less effort! Or you can bash someone’s skull in faster and with less effort! It’s just a new tool we can use, for better or for worse, like every other new tool before it.

Ah, the mark of the mature argument.
No, it flew, no roads, it was most definitely not, a long road getting from there to here.

Even if that was the original intention, it turned out to be a great benefit to him personally, so if that’s what it was supposed to be, then I guess the jokes on them 😀
I have never interpreted this as making fun of Rick Astley, just a stupid joke to trick people into watching something. I totally agree, he is very talented.
The meme has been a huge benefit to him as well, his popularity skyrocketed with a generation that wasn’t around when he was first popular and led to tons of listens and sales of his music, heck they even had him play at the Macy’s day parade!
As I recall, I read an interview with him, and he didn’t quite understand the meme, but he was thrilled it had blown up his popularity again and introduced so many new people to his music.

Risa@startrek.website•Damnit Jim, I'm an archeologist not a doctorEnglish
6·2 years agoAmazing, how has this not been thought of before? 1000 internet points to you.
I use awk all the time, nothing too fancy, but when you need to pull out elements of text it’s usually way easier than using cut.
awk {’ print $3 '} will pull the third element based on your IFS variable (internal field separater, default is whitespace)
awk {’ print $NF ‘} gets you the last element, and awk {’ print $(NF-1) '} gets you one element from the last, and so on.
Basic usage but so fast and easy for so many everyday command line things.

Risa@startrek.website•Competency on a four shift rotation.English
8·2 years agoWait Wait Wait, where is sisko/Kira in all this?
Kira pushed a four shift rotation to Sisko while he was delirious with a massive head injury. Later he suggested the idea as well and Kira was so happy he wasn’t dead/ agreed that she just took joy in agreeing with his “suggestion”
That was a clear callback to jellico in my opinion.

Risa@startrek.website•Was this episode of Star Trek based?English
6·2 years agoA word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.
The opposite of cringe, some times the opposite of biased.



You can kinda skip Big Hero 4, it’s sort of a side plot from the main story. Big Hero 5 really picks up the story from where Big Hero 3 left off for the most part.
