I'm sorry to say to for me, shell scripting has lost. All my scripts are written in Python, which a thin shell script wrapper to launch it.

Look at Oil. It tries hard to be bash compatible with optional buy-in to extension. Just use a superior language and give up on shell scripts, that's my advice.
Next.js is more opinionated, has more features, and provides server-side rendering. You might choose one or the other for different use cases.

> It could take millions if years of technological civilization to produce a machine capable of sustaining life for the hundreds of thousands of years necessary for interstellar travel.

For a generation ship, are you referring to all the machinery that can maintain a balanced ecosystem of plants and animals and humans in order to provide food for the people during the trip to the new planet, and to make all the things needed to keep those people healthy during the trip such as medicine and drugs?

If so, there may be a way around that. Send all your colonists as frozen embryos or frozen sperm and eggs. Your ship only needs life support then to keep alive the people who run the ship. For food, don't grow it. Take it with you.

At first taking your food with you seems absurd, but if you had a food with the same caloric density as rice, enough of it to provide 2000 calories/day to one human for 100k years would fit in a sphere with a radius of 24.4 meters. So once your technological civilization figures out a way to preserve food such that they can make a rice ball equivalent with a 100k year storage life, a generation ship with a small crew becomes a whole lot more feasible.

For replacement crew throughout the journey, you can do a mix of using whatever kids the crew produces the old fashioned way and using kids produced from some of the frozen embryos/eggs/sperm.

I think technological civilizations will reach the point of being able to do this well before they are millions of years old. We aren't too far from being able to do it ourselves. We are probably farther out on the propulsion for the ship itself.

RMS was naïvely and foolishly applying the "no harm, no crime" principle. Once he was educated that adult-child sex invariably causes long-term psychological harm to the child, he changed his mind. He even called Epstein a serial rapist and was not shy about expressing his disgust for the man.

If you're wondering "How can a grown man not know that child sexual abuse causes harm?" well, this puts us back into awkward nerd territory: what you think is common sense may not be to a sufficiently awkward nerd.
There's an old idea that once you release something you have created into the wild it is no longer really yours, but ours. Copyright and IP have never really prevented artistic theft, just slowed the ability to make money using someone else's IP. However, when you consider things such as the success of "Old Country Road" where a core characteristic of the song was a sample not originated from the artist themself, you can see how copyright and IP law really don't mean anything in the world of art. Information still wants to be free
Your comment actually led me to read Stallman's original comments in context, since I was aware of his dismissal/resignation but didn't know the particulars.

In my opinion, what he actually said on the listserv is very benign compared to the consequences he faced for it. If that is the whole story, he was treated unfairly.

^this. I'd be curious what player gp has found that can playback the mp4, but not read embedded subtitles. There are a few that have poor support for external (separate file) subtitles.

See eg: https://mutsinzi.com/add-srt-subtitles-to-quicktime/

TL;DR:

ffmpeg -i yourVideo.mp4 -i yourSubtitle.srt -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s mov_text -metadata:s:s:0 language=eng yourOutputVideo.mp4

I'm uncertain if there are some metadata you could toggle to hint at default subtitle language and/or default to subtitles on (or off). I generally use vlc, so this isn't much of a problem for me.
I have YT premium and an android phone so I checked this out. It looks like they don't store a single mp4 or anything and instead store it in chunks. I am not sure though if they are actually encrypted and stored using some sort of copy protection or if you could assemble the pieces into a single video using some algorithm without a special key.

As far as Wikipedia knows, that lawsuit is still pending (it would be extremely early for an US lawsuit of that complexity with that many defendants to settle).

The complaint [1] is interesting and disturbing. But I'm not convinced it's entirely in good faith. It spends a lot of time expounding on the DRC's sordid history (Whatever you want to blame Apple for, they had nothing to do with King Leopold). It cites extensively from Amnesty's 2016 report on conditions in Cobalt mining [2], but entirely fails to mention Amnesty's 2017 followup report [3] that credits many of the defendants (especially Apple) of having taken significant steps in the right direction since 2016. And the complaint appears to dismiss any positive measures taken by the defendants merely as evidence that their prior bad conduct was knowing.

Of course, a company improving their conduct does not mean they cannot be found liable for their earlier conduct, but I would not take this complaint as an objective assessment of the defendants' current cobalt sourcing practices.

Don’t forget chrome. It is pushing the web forward so fast that the great Firefox has been in the backseat for nearly a decade.
As the projected lifespan of a reactor is 50+ years and most of the current ones are quite old, that works out rather closely to 1% (17,000 / 50 / 3) of reactors with a significant issue. Building even 1,000 of them would therefore likely see a handful of Fukushima scale 100+B$ disasters.

It might be worth it if there was no viable alternative, but that’s a harder sale.

PS: There have also been 2 significant nuclear sub accidents, though with older designs.
Interesting question, how many nuclear plants can be built at once in the world. I imagine there are not that many outfits with the experience to take on that kind of job.

I haven't (and won't) downvote you for expressing an opinion I disagree with - but I do disagree with you.

Whether or not there is value in QAnon is beyond me. There is value in people being able to say what they want, even if it is baseless, or disturbed, or hateful. One example that comes to my mind is the Rotterham child rape scandal[1], which, were it not printed in the most reputable newspapers world wide, would sound like something out of the QAnon fantasy. Even worse than this scandal itself, which is saying something given that this scandal describes an organization of men raping children for decades with the tacit knowledge of local police and city government, is the fact that there are many similar occurrences in the UK. That is, this is not a one off horrific event, but part of a terrible and disturbing pattern.

Why I bring this up as an example, is, that it seems to me part of the problem the UK has in getting the organized rape of children under control, is an unwillingness to speak about it and be open about it. The UK is so determined to control speech and avoid offending people that they kept secret the organized rape of hundreds if not thousands of children across their country for decades. I would much rather err on the side of allowing people to indulge in dark, even if absurd, fantasies (e.g. QAnon) than forbid or punish people for going public with imperfectly firm accusations (as happened in Rotterham - victims and their families reported the ongoing sexual abuse and rape to the authorities through the many years it was ongoing and the authorities ignored them for fear of being offensive[2]).

The organized sexual abuse of children clearly does happen. Sometimes the government is intimately involved. For example the case with Jeffrey Epstein. It's worth it to let people talk about it and make accusations. Sometimes disturbed people will go too far and make baseless claims. That's not ideal, but preventing people from making anything but perfect accusations leads to a culture where horrible crimes are covered up for fear of not having enough evidence. I think it is a better balance to let mean people say mean things and expose whatever evidence there may be of things as soon as possible.

I think we'll see a lot more of this, just like the 90's saw a huge influx of people purchasing and fixing up old Mustangs and Camaros as a business for those people that could afford the car they always wanted as a teenager.

You can actually see this happening with titles on Steam, but generally not with items this old. A "remastered" version is released 5-10 years after the original with updated graphics and some bug fixes, maybe even some updates to take advantage of what became standard in the genre afterwards. It doesn't always go well though, I was just reading today about Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning on Steam (am update of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning from 2012) where people are complaining that while they did make it look somewhat better, and they did add a few useful enhancements to the looting system, not only did they not fix previously well known game breaking bugs, but they introduced new ones in addition.[1] The reviews were saying the original was better (and still great), but alas, it's no longer for sale (on Steam at least) because of the re-release.

What's interesting is that based on some of the material on the page, there's an upcoming addition/DLC coming out, so if played well, this strategy could be very lucrative for a team that's design and content creation oriented and skilled, while not having to worry as much about the technical aspects of designing the game and engine. There's something to be said for this. There's a reason Fallout: New Vegas is considered by many to be the better Fallout 3 game. There's a much more cohesive story line to it, and more interesting content in general, and I have to imagine not having to worry as much about getting the engine right freed the studio that made New Vegas (Obsidian, which is not the studio that made Fallout 3 and the engine which was Bethesda) to focus on that.

This. I feel like Satya brought in fresh eyes to the "project" (that being the running of the office of the CEO of Microsoft). Microsoft was locked into a certain way of doing things, and with Satya, they were free to pop their head up and look around at how the world was evolving without them. And you can see how that led them directly into bold new areas, such as WSL, Azure as it is today (highly Linux-and-kubernetes-focused), Github, Linkedin, lots of gaming companies (Mojang, Havok, etc.). It also allowed them to question areas where Microsoft probably thought it "should be winning", but just wasn't working, and might have poured billions into, such as Nokia phones, Skype, Bing, etc.

If the planet is in the habitual zone for a given star with H2O then there is a biological chance some form of life exists. The evolutionary cycle for advances species development on the planet is the question. The human race did not evolve in a few million years. If there is a living advances species they could be very primitive compared to humans or much more advanced. There are so many variables that even science has not fully developed to come up with a plausible answer.

I saw a Reddit thread of some obviously new programmers having their first introduction to how... interesting... a character Stallman is. He's not normal, but it takes all sorts to make a world (as the saying goes)

It is both a testament to him and a terror that programmers are now coming of age who have effectively been born post- open source. A BSD licence is far better than nothing but the GPL has almost been hurt by its own success these days.

We currently program in an environment where people just open source stuff for the sake of it (and good on them/us for doing it), but with the advent of the mobile phone as a general purpose computer (You can't just download C code and run it on your iPad any more) and the cloud (same shit from a difference arsehole when it comes to user freedom) the pendulum will swing back the other way.

While at first it might seem that Mars or any other planet is the solution to our environmental problem, the easiest solution to the problem would be fixing this planet. Colonizing Mars would take up so many resources that fixing Earth might be more cost-effective.

Except for nuclear waste
Fish is amazing as an interactive shell. I've had it as my default for a couple years now. Oil isn't the only game in town for object shells, there is also NuShell and Elvish which follow the fish model of abandoning POSIX compatibility for ease of use. I think OP had mentioned it elsewhere on this thread, but I've found object shells mostly useful for scripting that involves a lot of calling and processing the output of programs that produce structured data. I mostly use PowerShell for this, though Nushell/Elvish/Oil seem to be actually usable now. I'm pretty excited that the Unix community seems to finally be moving on from defending the old unstructured text model of program interaction to embracing the benefits of object shells. Whatever you think of its implementation, PowerShell is a great idea.
Does it go without saying that an organization that points out the left-wing bias of Wikipedia must itself be right wing? I am a conservative myself and it seems that rational and self-critiquing liberals are in short supply these days.
Yes, only 3 incidents - but in 35 years we haven't managed to clean up the mess made by the first one. Chernobyl has been a hazard now for 4x longer than the reactor was in service.

That's the thing I would like to see from the pro-nuclear side - not more assurances that modern reactors are safe, but a demonstration that if something does go wrong, we could actually clean it up and it won't become another permanent blight on the landscape.

Fully clean up Chernobyl (or Hanford, Washington, which wasn't an "incident" but is still a radioactive mess) and I'll support more nuclear reactors 100%.

But I want a better remediation plan than "bulldoze all the radioactive stuff into a pile, pour a bunch of concrete on top and wait for a few centuries".
> We don't need nuclear, because we have other options for firm low-carbon energy (geothermal) and energy storage of surplus and super-cheap intermittent renewables (lithium ion, flow batteries, hydrogen, methane, compressed air, liquid air...).

Nuclear power is a zero emissions source of power. Alternative renewables (e.g. wind, solar) require fossil fuels to power the electrical grid when they are not able to generate power. The sources you mention are also substantial less effective from an energy density perspective. The amount of energy they output, relative to the energy input to construct them and the amount of land they consume, is orders of magnitude less than that produced by nuclear.

Storing energy is incredibly expensive. If we were to use lithium ion batteries to store electricity, it would cost trillions of dollars to produce and maintain the batteries. This does not include the immense environmental damage that would occur as a consequence of this policy (land usage, mining, waste products, etc.)

> If nuclear could compete on cost, we should go for it, but it can't without a major tech breakthrough

Nuclear energy is more cost effective than alternatives. The main issue is that antinuclear activists, funded by the fossil fuel industry, have lobbied to make it cost prohibitive to build nuclear power plants by way of onerous regulation and prolonged legal battles. Countries that have reduced their reliance on nuclear power, for example France, have seen their electricity prices and carbon emissions rise as a consequence. We also know that nuclear power plants can operate for longer than previously believed — at least 80 years, as opposed to the 40 years that was previously assumed. This understanding further drives down the cost of electricity derived from nuclear energy, as it reduces the need to construct new facilities.

> For example, we will definitely need to start producing hydrogen

Why? Producing hydrogen is inefficient and unnecessary if you have a consistent source of energy, which nuclear provides.

> As it is, it's a dinosaur from the past, a legacy of a time before we had better tech.

Nuclear energy is safe, causing fewer deaths and adverse health impacts than alternative sources of energy. It is cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable than alternatives while also being far more environmentally friendly. If it is a dinosaur, then so are the transistors that make up computer processors, which are roughly as old and somehow are still the subject of cutting edge research.
> It feels nice knowing that it cannot be taken away from me by anyone.

“It was a pleasure to burn.
It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history. With his symbolic helmet numbered 451 on his stolid head, and his eyes all orange flame with the thought of what came next, he flicked the igniter and the house jumped up in a gorging fire that burned the evening sky red and yellow and black. He strode in a swarm of fireflies. He wanted above all, like the old joke, to shove a marshmallow on a stick in the furnace, while the flapping pigeon-winged books died on the porch and lawn of the house. While the books went up in sparkling whirls and blew away on a wind turned dark with burning.”

I think the big issue with nuclear (that doesn't come up) is not cost or waste, but proliferation.

Even if we could build nuclear plants in the USA or Europe, we will be far less willing to lend out the technology to developing countries, especially those who are our geopolitical enemies (or in the influence of our geopolitical enemies). Actually, I don't think that will ever happen -- look at how much effort/innocent lives/etc we expended for the Iran deal.

These countries will try to source fuel from their most powerful regional neighbor, who might not be on best terms with the US, which would inflame everyone, and for that reason, US/the West will not ever give up the keys to the kingdom.
