Simply using cat to dump a single file to STDOUT is technically a misuse because cat is theoretically intended to concatenate files. This 'misuse' is 'solved' by bat because bat seems to be primarily intended for its syntax highlighting and git-related features; according to bat's docs, cat-style concatenation of files is intended for drop-in compatibility with traditional cat.

That said, the idea that using cat to show a single file is "misusing" cat is prescriptivist rules-lawyering. There is no technical reason against using cat for non-concatenation purposes. The descriptivist interpretation of cat says using the tool for non-concatenation purposes is fine, since that's how people are actually using it.

However, note that cat is often misused as a substitute for STDIN redirection:

# this creates an extra process that wastes
# time copying STDIN to STDOUT
cat "${inputfile}" | do_stuff

# just connect inputfile directly to STDIN
do_stuff <"${inputfile}"

# or if you want to keep the input
# at the start of the pipeline
<"${inputfile}" do_stuff

Yes it does but differently: the library is placed on disk and the symlink pointing to the new version is updates. Services depending on this library are restarted. Ssh handles this exceptionally well in that it keeps running sessions open and new sessions use the new library. There is alsof no risk of having locks on files during installation: Unix keeps a gidsen copy of a file until the last process closes it. All in all, almost no reboots required unless a critical kernel bug is found that can be exploited remotely.
You can decide afterwards whether to figure out which way it went or not, and make your observation then. While the English language isn't great at describing this sort of thing, it seems fairly safe to suggest that I cannot choose now to physically interact with an event that happened in the past.

It's comparing apples and oranges. Presumably the OP is not using premium concrete (terracotta) tiles on his roof. Tesla is cheaper than a premium roof with solar panels and the details of said comparison are laid out on their site.
People always talk about the “network effects” of Facebook or Twitter - but what about the network effect of the Web itself? How has that failed so spectacularly? For a while it seemed like we took the route of competing standards that defined the network (RSS, Atom, WebSub, REST) but there seems to be no taste for any of the new connecting protocols (Webmentions, ActivityPub) that could enhance the Web’s connective tissue.

Whereas community on the Web used to be a favorite hobbyist PHPBB forum or mailing list - it’s now just a business. (Are you on Instagram or TikTok?)
What are the alternatives to this for achieving the goal of CO2 output reduction, which will not be delivered by the market on its own?

I don't want to download a pdf from a random website. Do you have source that I would recognize?
Thanks for the link. Many people feel that things we take for granted today were obvious successes in the past. Almost none of them ever hit the ground running.

Electricity, the internet, eCommerce, iPhone, even Bitcoin weren't obvious hits in the least. If the success of bitcoin was guaranteed or obvious, In 2009, I'd have bought 111,111 bitcoins for $100 at $0.0009 per bitcoin.

I know HK is often held up as a miracle of complete and total laissez-faire, but that is largely myth.

1949 through to about 1970 whilst there was no formal economic policy, there emphatically was subsidy. The administration was providing social housing for those refugees, education for their children, infrastructure programs that were often more ambitious than in the UK - providing complete new industrial towns, and land reclamation. There was a policy to limit cost of living increases as far as possible as the fledgling industry relied on low labour cost to compete.

There were also export restrictions on textiles and clothes - the backbone of the HK economy up until the seventies, perhaps longer. Those restrictions were certainly in place with the UK and Europe, not sure about the wider world.

The large subsidy during development merely wasn't direct to industry. Yet with textiles and cheap plastics, the two industries that formed the bulk of HK's exports, they happened to be two with low startup capital costs. As a result the HK economy was heavily skewed toward small and medium businesses and low startup costs.
Probably anti-spam, particularly to catch groups of fake accounts sending the same or similar PDF.
Not quite. That $7500 is a full on tax credit. Not a deduction. So as long as you pay more than $7500 in taxes, you get it all back. And if for some reason you pay less, you’ll get a refund.
I'm sure you could just point all those links to a domain you own (on some poor, unsuspecting VPS) and see what happens?

The word "research" implies "science", but to me is valid only if you go all the way, and publish the methods and the data for peer review. Until then my take is, someone had a bunch of opinions and didn't allow users to keep the old menu.
There hasnt been a good excel released in 20 years. Libreoffice is pretty hideous, gnumeric is maybe a bit better. I rely on excel key shortcuts which didnt change even when the menus they referenced disappeared. Libreoffice has some but not all of them. Google sheets does better but my dev network is airgapped so that doesn't help.

I did not. I said that if you believed your definition of "worse" was a better metric for me to choose my operating system than mine, then you were probably a Linux Desktop evangelist.

They do similar TCO comparisons with their cars.

It seems odd to me that they do not version their exchange protocols, file formats, APIs etc. And then check if both participants have compatible versions when interacting..
The best hack I’ve found is leaving the pdf of a book I’ve been meaning to read as the top tab in my phone’s web browser. Doesn’t work when when I reflex-tap into reddit, but if I reflex-tap into the browser looking for HN, I immediately get side-tracked into “oh yeah, I’ve been meaning to read this”.

I’d like to set up a service to which you send in a book, and it texts you one page at a time (you can ask it for the next page), and nags you if it’s been a few days without using it.

Too often the information junk food turns into an hour-long binge. I could have made real progress towards my goals in that time.

In general, a service which can slice up your goals into very small units of work or very small exercises, and harasses you for constant engagement could be a huge win. Don’t get rid of the anti-patterns, harness them for your own ends!!!

This is actually a great explanation of how/why we got virtualization rather than microkernels. The hardware presented an ABI that couldn't be circumvented. The problem with software interfaces is that they're soft. With h/w we use a 'good enough' interface for possibly too long before it gets replaced as where in software we decide to upgrade the as-yet-not-widely-adopted interface with a better one and repeat.
Thanks, this is super thorough!

50 years is almost new. Most 100 year old terracotta tile are still on the original set, and slate often lasts 200.

Where roofs are replaced, aside from storm damage, it's most common for that to be down to having got rot in the woodwork than fault with the tile. I suspect a fair few are down to iffy sales tactics from dodgy builders. (i.e. get someone out to fix the chimney flashing "oh, major problem you need a whole new roof...")
I've been struggling with this in a weird way. I have an iPhone 8, and kindle keyboard, a paperwhite, and physical books. Each has it's plusses and minuses...

The KKB's screen looks better to me than the paperwhite's (the text seems to be more on the surface rather than below it) and it's got buttons -- but no back light.

The paperwhite's backlight makes it convenient because I can read it in bed -- but no physical buttons and the backlight is very blue, which I find annoying. Sometimes it hurts to read it in a dark room.

The phone is almost perfect. I can set the text to white on black, use Night Shift to make it even warmer, so I can read for hours in a dark room. It's always with me so I can read anywhere -- but I don't feel like I'm reading a book when I read a book on a phone. It feels like I'm cheapening the experience somehow.

Physical books are the least convenient. The reading experience is the best here though and it feels most like what I think reading should feel like. I can easily flip around if I've forgotten some reference. I can easily see my progress. I can put it on a shelf and see it as a reference to a reading experience.

It gets to the point of me buying a book, starting it on a kindle, switching to the phone, buying the physical copy, reading that for a bit, then back to the phone. And the problem here is that switching formats feels even less like I've read the book than reading it on the phone alone. It's like it wasn't a homogenous experience.

I just want to settle on one way of reading a book but can't. I think this is what is called option paralysis.
That's exactly what regulation is and does. It picks winners, picks harmful phenomenon, and acts accordingly, with a short-to-medium timeframe based on what would get the most votes.

I, too, believe that taxing actual atmospheric carbon impact would be great, but how would you measure such a thing fairly?

There's plenty of low effort ways you could provide proof while maintaining relative anonymity (if you actually wanted to support your claims with evidence). For example, you can run a GlockApps test (5 minutes, free) and then take a screenshot of the results with identifying information blanked out.

Algorithmic censorship has become the new norm. If you have opinions outside the Overton window you will be silently penalized on Twitter, FB, etc, and your posts will silently not appear. You have to go along with the tribe that you've been gerrymandered into or else you'll be silenced.

Content is dumbed down everywhere because you can only post things on these platforms which are compatible with advertisers. Big brands don't want to see their ads alongside someone's fringe opinions, thus they have to punish the "bad" content to appease their customers.

I can drive to work in 15 minutes. The bus takes over an hour including 30 minutes of walking. There are no bike lanes between home and work, its possible to bike it but really not safe - I'd guess the bike would take about 40 minutes.

I think incompetence is more likely. It doesn't take much of a ring of accounts flagging an account to get it temporarily suspended. There appear to be thresholds which will automatically suspend an account, pending appeal or review.

It's easy enough to have happen if you disagree with certain groups of extremely online people and they take a personal disliking, so it would certainly be within the power of any mildly capable security agency.

I believe they have "dud" panels which are not power generating, as well as for edges and joints where a full solar tile wouldn't fit. I also imagine the cost they show is not for 2000sqft of generating panels.
if you have to pay up front it’s way too hard. loans have interest.
Breitbart is a legitimate news agency (you may not like that, but it is). Also, if they left it out lots of people would just howl about how Zuckerberg was catering to liberals. It's as simple as that.

Although I'm much more on the "NYTimes is Truth" side, I read Breitbart daily to gain perspective of what people who voted for Trump think.

Content moderation and factual determination at internet scale in the face of state-sponsored propaganda and multiple divisive nonfactual news agencies is definitely non-trivial. Zuck has started out with a stated philosophy and is attempting to be consistent with it, while also trying to avoid appearance of liberal bias. Some of the consequences of that will not make many people happy.
C'mon. In your critique of mainstream media, you unironically cited Project Veritas to bolster your claim? From the Wikipedia page of Project Veritas:

> The organization has produced deceptively edited videos targeted against ACORN, NPR and others.[12][13][14] During the 2016 campaign, the organization falsely claimed to have shown that the Hillary Clinton accepted illegal donations from foreign sources.[15]

> O'Keefe was sued for defamation by a man he wrongfully depicted as a "willing participant in an underage sex-trafficking scheme"; the suit led to a settlement in 2013, in which O'Keefe issued an apology and paid $100,000.[16]

> In 2017, it was caught in a failed attempt to trick the The Washington Post into posting a fabricated story about Roy Moore.[2][3][17][18] Rather than uncritically publish a story that accused Republican candidate Moore of impregnating a teenager, The Washington Post critically examined the story that they were presented with, checked the source, assessed her credibility and ultimately found that there was no merit to her claims, and that instead Project Veritas were trying to dupe The Washington Post.[10]

> O'Keefe has been barred from fundraising for Project Veritas in Florida and other states because of his federal criminal record for entering a federal building under fraudulent pretenses

Trust is low with legitimate news organizations because we have a political party very keen on believing bizarre conspiracy theories, who've rallied behind a narcissist who attacks any source critical of him. NPR, the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, etc are all pretty damn solid news organizations. Are they perfect? No. But to compare their credibility to the likes of InfoWars or Breitbart is patently absurd.
Then you're on a slippery slope of judging the intentions (which is what we are doing nowadays, but I don't think we should be). Intentions are muddy. Decisions and actions just come to us and it's later that we invent a story about how they came to be (at least that's AFAIK our current understanding of how consciousness works)

Because that disconnects the company from actual demand.

Production of early versions is always more expensive because of the research & development, creation/configuration of the machines, etc, etc but the marginal cost goes down drastically. The numbers work out even better as you can amortize those early costs over a larger and larger production run. This means v2 and later editions are cheaper.

You'd be surprised how much scientists hush and push dissenting voices which don't suite a particular theory which one cabal wants to be true. Sean Caroll has been advocating strongly in public to go back and take a look at measurement problem but nobody wants to do it. He speaks more about this on his podcast (mindscape) and also on Joe Rogans podcast ( I mean the fact that he had to bring it up in Joe Rogans podcast to let the public know what's up) is pretty bizzare and in indicative of the kind of schemes that go on in academia.

I quite like this product and think it'll be a big thing.

I do wonder about a comparison to what I've seen recently, which is standard roofs with solar built in almost like skylights. Just big panels at the same level as the tiles, not placed on top in a retrofit.

Seems like it's a good compromise (as long as you can get panels that blend with the tiles, and that generate enough that you don't need the whole roof covered).
> There was NO excuse for the failure described in the article.

In this case, right. In general, stuff happens. There’s a tradeoff between reliability and effort. The correct reliability target is not 100%, because you can’t get 100% anyway, and as you approach 100% reliability the cost increases without bound.

I’m not sure what the rest of your comment is about besides taking a big shit on web developers and talking about how awful they are.

There is a precious small percentage of developers who are really good at making reliable systems and they have the burden / responsibility of spreading their knowledge. They work with the other actual developers you hire, those beautiful imperfect developers who cut corners, test in production, and don’t write tests.

You make changes to your culture and your practices. You build monitoring and rollout automation. You increase test coverage.

If you just call people children you’re going to be there, on the sidelines, watching other people build real products. You don’t teach people by making fun of them.

They didn’t “get” anything. It wasn’t the governments money to begin with. I bought an EV last year, and the government didn’t “give” me a damn cent. This is the liberal mindset of “the government owns my labor, and doles back my pay”.

I'm not sure how this differs from some of the more fully thought through hypermedia frameworks. Although it is nice that there's convention for flattening included linked resources down to something a bit more manageable.

For me, GraphQL really shines when going beyond CRUD. In my experience, many client applications aren't just querying and filtering, they're acting as a gateway for complex server processes and need to present a lot of data at once. These advantages aren't going to come through in simple CRUD examples.

GraphQL, in its current state, has some frustrating limitations, but I still think the future looks more like it than REST.
