Excellent - I’m about to install it for my aged mother, because windows keeps moving her cheese.
I want something that doesn’t change the workflows once she’s learned how to do a task, and that local techs can help her with, and that I can VNC to when I have to.
the translation step from binary (program) -> text (SQL) -> binary (server)
Your concern about this is misguided. Inter-process communication always has to cross a barrier, by definition.
I take it http also feels wrong to you?
Binary protocols do exist, e.g. gRPC, but they incur costs of their own.
Shame I had to scroll this far to find PRQL
No! Bad dev! No biscuit!
Never merge master into a feature branch. It’s called a “wrong-way” merge and it makes the history fucking awful.
You shit in the face of project maintainers when you do this.
You may not care, in fact many don’t. Also people buy timeshares, read celebrity gossip magazines, and vote for scumbags. They are fucking idiots who don’t know what they are doing. So are people who leave wrong-way merges in shared history.
In fact, wrong-way mergers are worse, because you can’t just ignore them - git blame rubs your face in their shit, so they shit in your face forever.
Just don’t fucking do it, OK? Or I will hit you in the throat with a cricket bat soaked in wasps. As a first warning.
If I were a democrat pol, I’d want to keep Gaetz, and Trump, and all the nut jobs.
They are loved by their base and horrible to work with in the houses, but they are electorally toxic.
Prediction for your next presidential election: Trump will still be on trial on federal charges, he will be the nominee anyway, and he will lose badly. DeSantis will bite chunks out of him. Bullish on popcorn.
Or Trump bites chunks out of whoever they do nominate. The party either gets moderate votes, or Trump votes, or DeSantis votes, but not all three.
I’m getting started with i3, so I get your point now.
Actually no, I’ve met some people who present themselves like slobs but are excellent human beings.
Substitute “member of an out-group” for the bonus point
Fucking hell, way to perpetuate a society where women are valued only for their fuckability.
They are. If Trump stands, it’ll be a big victory for Biden, because Trump has made himself unelectable for swing voters.
Over here, the tories are heading for a wipeout. They’ve been telling us their shit smelled like roses, and it worked, up until it didn’t.
Edgy shit like this is why anti-woke is a vote winner. It’s repulsive to normal people.
It’s not a uniform, it’s a dress code, and it long predates boomers.
Peace On Earth is a book by Stanislaw Lem, the author of Solaris.
It is my all-time favourite sci-fi novel.
The premise is that mankind builds autonomous war robots and sends them to the moon to fight proxy wars instead of real wars on earth. But the robots evolve. For reasons unknown, contact with the moon is lost, so humanity sends a astronaut up to see what’s going on.
My friend, you haven’t heard about Oracle.
Microsoft at least gave the world Powershell, to balance out their sins. I can also name other good things they have done. Oracle is pure and deliberate evil.
I believe that the human race will end in one of three ways:
I think you were merely being pedantic, but there are some interesting points in there.
Is it a crime to generate fake “csam”?
Should it be a crime?
How can prosecutors get convictions against a defense of “no, your honour, that video is AI-generated”?
What we have now is still miles off general AI, but it’s going to take years for society to catch up. Interesting times.
Another Kagi fan here. I pay $10 a month.
I’m a reasonably heavy search user, but have never hit the quota.
It’s wonderful to have relevant results again.
The one thing it doesn’t work for is shopping. From time to time I use Google. I should probably switch that to Bing, as the lesser of two evils.
Pure FUD. Worse, it’s wilfully stupid.
Are you in the habit of picking pipeline commands at random? Do you not usually have a purpose in mind? OBVIOUSLY the receiving end has to understand what it’s receiving, or what the fuck are you even doing?
Do you believe that your text processing commands don’t have to understand what they receive?
Let’s get the ports of the node container.
Bash:
docker ps | grep node | cut -n 6 -f ' '
Pwsh:
docker-ps | where name -eq 'node' | select ports
First the grep command shits the bed because at some point you started a new container running a nodejs image.
Then the cut command fails because you had a container with a space in the name, so it outputs mounts instead of ports.
That’s a non-issue with sematic tools. Semantic tools are also legible. Yeah, I can figure out what that awk command does, but it’s meaningless unless I also know the shape of the data is supposed to operate on.
You don’t write “USE 2nd DATABASE; SELECT 3rd COLUMN FROM 10th ROW”, do you? Why would you want to do that in a shell?
What’s wrong with Virtual Desktops on windows? They work perfectly for me.
No argument with your other points.
My understanding is that the Windows terminal sucks? I don’t know why, it just looks bad.
Your understanding is wrong. I’ve tried 8 different terminals on mac, arch and kubuntu, and I miss Windows Terminal every day. It looks good and the config is a pleasure. I don’t expect Linux to look pretty, but MacOS had fucking awful font rendering and it’s supposed to be this upmarket OS for moneyed pricks in black turtlenecks. Was everyone in unixland busy doing drugs while Microsoft was implementing anti-aliasing? Is clear legible type for losers?
