I think the quality of a language for shell scripting is often secondary. What’s of greater significance is where it is at. I.e., does it have it already installed? The answer with Linux and Bash is almost always “yes”.…
Notably Diamine’s Registrar Ink and Rohrer & Klingner’s Eisen-Gallus-Tinte inks are relatively easy brands of iron gall ink to acquire and the modern formulas are less harsh and useable in fountain pens. They’re nice in…
I’m not really excited about this; Meta has no strong incentive to be a long term good neighbor in the fediverse, but plenty of incentive to engage in poor behavior. No matter how sincere or well meaning leadership is…
You have to have been raised pretty sweetly to not have known this kind of racketeering was a 'thing' for a very long time. Pressure to hire cops is rampant. 'rent-a-cop' is not aimed at the fact that security companies…
Short of something within a few hundred feet of Bezo's desk being actually on fire, AWS's health page never seems to actually report issues.
My read as well. I write shell-scripts when the current tools solve the problem easily. I distribute shell scripts to colleagues (never customers) only when I absolutely do not want to install extra software on their…
Is the story of how the paper was stood up documented anywhere?
> Our concern would be that a professional educator would not only work for the district, but the district would also be their landlord Employer: * we don't want to wages in an amount to let the worker afford healthcare…
> Folks recommend the really cheap platinum preppy pens, but be warned they are super scratchy. The reason people recommend the platinum is that its cheap and its cap system is especially good for avoiding dry-out. To…
Commenting with the others: I'm a left-handed writer and an avid fountain pen user. It isn't so bad. The best thing I can say is: try to learn to write under the line (under-hand) as opposed to hookwriting or…
It’s just Whataboutism. What the DNC did or did not do is entirely irrelevant to the case, because the DNC is not who was standing before the grand jury. “You could pin this on a large percentage of politicians”. Yes,…
At a previous company I had a chance to sit down and talk with python developers across a number of groups, and a fun question was asked: Imagine Python 4 is another large breaking change on the scale of 2 to 3. What…
> EU is frozen and claim so many people will die in Europe due to high energy prices. This complaint is one that (jokingly) makes me ask if you're new around here. the Economist is almost pathologically pessimist. I…
Pair it with the fact that by-and-by, apartments are extremely expensive, and in short supply, so that service jobs are often not near where people are forced to live, and that you have to pair the cost of a car with…
> but they got to releasing v1 and then seemingly never really developed it any further. Except for the core pieces, this is a distressing description of most google products.
Every COVID story here is an interesting little glimpse into how a seemingly normal forum has their latent political views exploited into adopting a conspiracy theory, re: anti-vaccine rhetoric. It becomes a little more…
After all, any law which is enforced by fines is a law solely for the poor.
The anti-work philosophy is not anti-labor. I think anyone of sense can acknowledge that energy needs to be put into the system in order to produce the necessities of life. Rather, the ideology is about allowing people…
Not at all surprised. This is pretty much the fate of all "minimalistic" devices like this (the freewrite comes to mind as well). Minimal just means that they reserve the right to put necessary features behind…
Worse, many firms are put off by juniors for entirely preventable reasons. In their minds, juniors are undesirable because the moment they are trained up, they tend to jump ship for senior positions elsewhere. Why train…
I think Gladwell cares about history, and he cares about story, but if (as is often the case in history) he has to choose one at the expense of the other, it is going to be _story_ that he chooses every single time. As…
It wouldn't surprise me. In many genres, I'm not sure there is a huge difference in the product put out by traditional publishers vs. that put out by direct publishing. I own a lot of books, and a sizable chunk is…
> truck drivers are being tracked routinely and nobody makes a big fuss about that. I know a number of truck drivers and they _hate_ it. Routing software is imperfect, accidents happen that have to be detoured, and…
Trump can still write whatever he wants. He can still publish through the White House press. He can contact press, or communicate as American Presidents have always done. He is not being forcibly gagged as a whole. He…
Maybe it's a vast over-simplification as the article notes, but you cannot get away from the fact that what Mishima did was carry out a right-wing reactionary attempt to incite a military coup against a democratically…
