I don't. I don't think anyone else should either. TIOBE counts number of hits returned by a weighted selection of search engines when you search for "<language> programming" - it's a useless metric.

Armed with a Paddle and GoPro, Aims to Create Street View of Puget Sound
I love science fiction and I’m usually fairly forgiving of it’s worst tropes. However, while I mostly liked the first couple of seasons of Discovery (if you don’t consider them as proper Star Trek) but hard bailed with S3. Picard immediately pissed me off as tone deaf.

There were just too many moments with these shows where I rolled my eyes. Their inability to understand the legacy they inherit, the stereotypes, the lazy magical technology. The endless out of focus wailing of characters emoting doesn’t help either. I get they want to show grief and emotion but this is feels like filler.

I was excited for Foundation and it’s mostly fine but it’s not something I’m looking forward to new episodes of. It also suffers from the out of focus crying stuff but the new stuff they’ve added such as the clone emperor is interesting. The switch to some special chosen one is frustrating however.

All of these aforementioned shows suffer from a complete lack of scale, or an appreciation for it. An empire in the scale of the galaxy shouldn’t feel so empty. The day to day activities of the clones shouldn’t feel so bland and parochial. The Foundation shouldn’t even register as anything other than a minor whisper. Yet it seems all that matters to them along with some political squabbles. It all makes the world feel tiny.

With Dune on the other hand I never once rolled my eyes. It’s not perfect, it skips too quickly over characters and subplots, but it does an astounding job of building a believable and cohesive world.
Personally I'm not a C#/.NET developer so wouldn't know where to look for the source code, but to check you can run the program in the examples of the post with the compiled binary on the other side (in place of the SHELL) and see what output you get.

I'm 99% sure it's inserting ANSI escape codes (I'm maintaining a terminal emulator myself, and really that's how everything works), but I could of course be wrong.
I get that you're being glib, and I'm not fan of twitter... but openly supporting ethnic genocide is a lot worse than anything going on with twitter.
> No. Is it faithful to the books? Not at all.

I would offer an even more contrarian take: the show actually is being relatively faithful to the books. At least of the most recent episode.

More concretely, while obviously there are important changes (the Cleons, how Seldon dies, the Anacreons invading rather than making diplomatic threats, nobody smoking, etc.) none of these are terribly unfaithful to the story. Most are small bits of harmless dramatic license. Others explore parts of history that the books simply panned away from (e.g., happenings on Trantor during the first Seldon crisis.)

What really worries me is that, as of the most recent episode, they seem to be introducing characters with some kind of superpower wherein they can see or alter the future. This is going to screw the story up completely.
> python is always going to be a mess

The irony is that poster was trying to install a solution to this very problem (virtualenv).

The broader problem is that, at this point, python is effectively its own OS. Coupled with macOS being schizophrenic between "We want to provide a posix environment for users" and "No user should ever look under the hood, so no need to tell them about all the duct taped bits."

Which brew attempts to bridge. Admirably, but never perfectly.

Something to keep in mind when writing cross-platform command line tools: on most Unix-like platforms, only the eight least-significant bits are considered, while on Windows all bits are considered. [1]

So, exit(256) means exit code 0 on Linux and Mac, but 256 on Windows.

> AGPL can also not be "permanently revoked". It's not individually licensed to each user like proprietary software often is, it's one license addressed to anyone.

The license is addressed to anyone, but an individual user gets an individual license.

> Furthermore the AGPL is explicitly irrevocable.

The Mastodon authors can not choose to revoke the license, but the license itself contain clauses which specify revocation under certain conditions, and after a certain time delay. This is one of the areas in which the GPLv3 (and AGPLv3) is more lenient than the old GPLv2, which was automatically revoked instantly upon any license violation.

> Can I ask why? I'm also looking to buy a house and the Zillow offerings, from what I've seen, are not particularly competitive.

I agree. (I'm not buying from them.) I am having to deal with sellers who change their ask at the last minute, have past financial issues (if something goes wrong and I have to sue, will they have assets?), want to stay through the winter, et cetera. In most home purchases, expedience isn't the most important thing for the buyer. For some, it is, and in those cases something like Zillow's offer in theory makes sense. (Counterpoint: homes aren't fungible.)
Not really... most television needs to clear the bar of being something that you watch when you're bored and then get hooked into. Otherwise, you'd only have viewers that are familiar with the source and that's not a great way to grow viewership. It's how Game of Thrones grew so quickly for HBO. That show was a confusing mess with tons of characters but it was interesting to watch if you're bored because there was enough that you could pick up just from the costumes, locations, and acting.

I'm inclined to agree, but it seems Ubuntu's solution to this problem with "apt install <package> [-y]" where you are presented with a list of dependencies that will get upgraded if you choose to proceed is a much better trade off.

The user can of course ignore the dependencies notice by specifying the "-y" flag to force an installation.

The chart I provided is the same data re-stated per capita instead of as a share of all wealth (after all the population had almost doubled since 1990 alone, and with it the amount of wealth in total) - and adjusted for CPI-U. It’s just a different perspective on the same numbers but far less click baity.

You do know that life expectancy has been declining in the US for a while now right?
If you have any kind complex toolchains, then a major update can be a real burden.

Just for me, using a customized desktop, iOS app development, and being a zfs user means that I had to set aside a lot of time for updates.

And beyond that, Apple has become really sloppy with new releases, and you're best off waiting at least six months for the major bugs to be ironed out.

Yes, I use CMD+W and CMD+# and CMD+A and CMD+~ and CMD+Tab all day long. I rarely (once every few months) miss and hit CMD+Q. I also have it set up so that my tabs restore on restart, which makes it a minor annoyance at best. I quit Firefox purposefully once or twice a day, so overriding the default Mac behavior is a much more significant pain for me.
I think there's some nuance here. I might make sure that any prescription drugs or other sensitive items out of sight for guests even if I'm not ashamed of talking about this with some people...

But I think avoiding political conversations is best described by what I've seen called "social cooling" - I don't really care about litigating morality with family at Thanksgiving. We may have fundamental differences in our interpretation of reality and human behavior, but that doesn't make one of us an actual criminal.
It was a bit brusque. I think that's the word you're looking for. If that's what bad faith means to you (which still seems a stretch of the definition so you can get the guidelines invoked and win the internet) then both sides of the discussion are guilty of this.

On the other side of the aisle, we have people pointing out that there aren't any interesting dApps, with the reply being:

"Sure there are! Here's a list dApps that are just more layers on moving cryptocurrency!"

That's only interesting if you assume the blockchain is valuable and interesting. This is a circular argument. Do you have anything better?

"Sure do! Here's a list dApps that are just more layers on moving cryptocurrency! Register on this site to hear me talk about NFTs!"

Is that "bad faith" too? I don't think so. There's a divide though, and it's a tiresome one. Some of us think the emperor has no clothes. Others think they are the best clothes ever. We probably all need our eyes checked.
Also, who knows how it would have turned out if they had actually doubled down on OpenSTEP and DOE, instead of ramping them down in Java's favour.

Or if they had invested into AOT and JIT caching options for Java instead of leaving them to third parties.

Both options could have made Solaris more interesting, maybe.

I think that taste can artificially induced easily with seasonings (remember stuff like bacon salt?). The texture of seitan and some seasoned tofu are very convincing, but I found quorn (made with egg white) to be a 1:1 chicken breast replacement, but its much too expensive to be a real replacement.
I don't think that's what the article says:

> The researchers found that people who exhibited both competence, through the use of challenging voice, and trustworthiness, through the use of supportive voice, were the most in-demand people when it came to assembling teams. [emphasis mine]

and later,

> “Our findings suggest that when people feel like they can trust you, even if you’re not necessarily the best worker, they’re going to be more likely to want to work with you,” Maupin said. “They know that there are likely to be fewer interpersonal issues in that case.”

So the article is not saying "be a lemming because no one cares how good you are," it's saying being supportive of others has a greater positive impact on how others see you than your willingness to challenge others' ideas and signal your competency.

> Quant firms for the stock market in the early 90s did not work overnight even though the market was much more inefficient than it is now. It takes time for groups of highly qualified and very smart people to figure this stuff out - but, they will.

This example works against you. Quant firms did succeed but they did not corner the stock market nor are they cause for concern. There is a long history of firms that failed to corner a market or become a monopoly. True natural monopolies are extremely rare and don't typically last very long.

> Saying that sacrificing uptime is a good thing for achieving a particular goal is a take that's so wildly out of line with what most of the industry believes is refreshing, because it really makes you think. What would the world look like, if instead of being obsessed with SRE we simply assumed or accepted that there will be downtime, and treated it like something perfectly normal. Maybe a nice message at ingress/load balancer level, telling everyone that the site will be back in a bit.

The difference is that here, the downtime saves energy. "Normal" downtime is unintentional. Servers are still running, just in an error state. They may be constantly attempting to restart themselves at some level (looking at you, k8s). Users are still trying to hit them and their requests may be partially handled. Traffic may be pushed over to newly spun up instances.

We can accept that things happen and running large internet services is hard, and SREs and developers everywhere will rejoice, but it won't save energy.

Do you actually believe in PR prepared statements by famous people?

Like a speech by politicians was actually written by them and it reflects their believes.

Judge people by their actions and not words, that the most reliable predictor of whats in their head.

If someone says they are for X, and they do the opposite of X for Y reason, would you trust them that they actually are for X?
Another solution would be encouraging economic development in other areas instead of cramming increasing numbers of people into a small number of geographically constrained cities.

Trustworthiness, sure. But not friendliness (unless it's asshole-level unfriendliness) over competence. There's little worse than a friendly but incompetent teammate, who will often get too many passes and second chances (because they're well liked) before being terminated.

I'll take neutral friendliness, or even slightly unfriendly, + extreme competence, any day.
I feel like it kind of misses the point, though. Societies like that don't collapse because the leader is immortal, they do so because the _society_ is ossified.
I sympathize. Unironically, I do. Truly.

Be very careful over-extrapolating based on known variables. That's my point.

For decades we've have the concentration of populations in a few urban centers because of employment opportunities and other factors. Two years ago, you wouldn't have even thought about that trend ending anytime soon.

Yet here we are with what seems to be the beginning of a structural change to the employment market to remote work for a significant number of potential jobs. We're not there yet of course. But this seems to have already been a boon to medium-sized regional cities (eg Boise).

This was all possible two years ago but it didn't happen. Covid was a big catalyst. No one predicted that.

Likewise, you see young people rejecting the 30 year mortgage, have kids then retire model that was the norm for Baby Boomers. Living remote, tiny homes, van life, etc.

I fully support residential real estate not being used for money laundering, hiding assets from governments and an exchange-traded asset class, to be clear. The focus there should be on the governments who create the rules that allow this to happen and not the players however.
Not really. Apple's success merely shows that their methods are good for making them lots of money. There are many ways to judge the quality of a product. I'd argue that how much profit it makes is a bad one for literally everyone except the seller.
So you compared a 32-year period with a couple of technical recessions and one relatively brief stagflation period averaged over huge growth with an 18-year period dominated by the Great Recession?

Would it be interesting to point out that the US population growth also was much higher in the 1968-2000 period compared to 2001-2020 period on an annual basis?
You can do this in a simple enough way, in C++: each software level catches the exception from the level below, prepends its own message string to it and then throws a new exception with the combined message.

On Debian-based systems, I get a preview of what's going to be installed/updated when I do something with `apt`.

With homebrew, I never know how many packages will be updated and how long it will take, so sometimes when I just need a small utility, suddenly it'll update a bunch of packages and it takes 45 minutes.

It's a UI problem.
>... I will not be a part of that.

So instead of not being a part of it by simply disabling it (or never enabling it to begin with, as it's currently opt-in), you're abandoning the browser altogether?
> Again here, I've never heard of a residential lease with a fee-based termination clause, nor prepared one or had one as a tenant. One possibility is that it's not legal in areas I've lived but I don't know. I'm visiting the attorney (now ret) this week so I'll ask.

I've literally never had a residential lease that hasn't included a termination clause. Generally speaking, both parties agree up front that the other party may request termination in exchange for compensation (in my experience, 3 months rent is typical, although I've seen fixed payments as well).

Commercial is a different beast, since generally subletting is approved, and space customization is expected (the business will adjust the space as needed for commercial use, like changing walls, installing shelves/chairs/tables, adding or removing kitchen space, etc.)
Been using homebrew for many years, thanks. Although, I think the permissions model is broken. I wish Homebrew supported multiple accounts. On my macbook m1, all accounts point to /opt/homebrew and it is a giant ball of mess. Modifying the prefix to ~/homebrew leads to other packages that hard code the path such as pyenv.

I think we need a new package manager since its not the fault of homebrew that many packages have hardcoded stuff in there.
Is that trillion dollars millenials have in debt per capita? And further is that comparison against previous generations adjusted for inflation? How much more debt do they hold on a per capita basis adjusted for inflation than past generations? Or is that just clickbait :)

I mean, read the article you linked, here’s some quotes:

> According to a 2018 report from the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, mortgage debt is about 15% lower for millennials and credit card debt among millennials was about two-thirds that of Gen X.

> Another marked behavioral difference between generations is the higher levels of retirement savings among millennials than any previous generation at the same age. While Gen Xers had acquired about $13,600 at around the same point in time, millennials have saved $15,500 in retirement accounts on average.

> Millennials are also more committed to higher education. Between 2001 and 2016, the number of people aged 25 to 29 with at least a four year degree grew by 25%.

Which is why they have more student loan debt. Something that definitely needs to be addressed.

It’s not the hair on fire crisis the title would have you believe.

Which is why the chart I showed you, restated on a per capita basis instead of “wealth share” (while not standardized against a rapidly changing population and a growing wealth pie) makes both intuitive sense and the math works.

Yes certain “the rich” may live longer but I was referring to the correlation between health care expenditure and life expectancy - which is weakly correlated and only to a point. I may have don’t a poor job framing that [1]. Given you linked AARP I suspect that has more to do with unequal access to care earlier in life when poor, amortized to the limit, a uniquely American problem among developed nations.

'vim user@computer.company.com:/home/repo' also works afaik :-). Vim has support for this built in.
tramp-mode does this on emacs. It's nice that it's just opening a file with only the `/ssh:user@host:` prefix, but a few things need tweaks (project tree, shell). BTW `/sudo:user@machine:` works too.

It still feels like there's value in making this work simply outside of emacs so more programs can make use of the cached copies. Is there a more resilient alternative to `sshfs`?
Hmm. This isn't something I'm doing terribly consciously, so I'm not sure if this will make sense:

~literally, it means something like "approximately".

It would obviously break the sentence if it literally meant "I'm not sure what the approximately deciders would say", so in this case I'm using it more to indicate some uncertainty about the term--that the word-choice is an approximation.

I'm not sure if this use is ~common or me-idiomatic.
