Of all the English translations of Gilgamesh, this is my preferred:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPYf8AwNvKg

It is not abridged, and uses contemporary phrasing. If you want to follow along with a text, then I highly recommend using a text of a different translation. This not only reminds you that we are experiencing a translation, but also often adds a new dimension to the action as no translation is complete.

Here is a not-so-good text that seems to compliment the above-linked Youtube reading well:

That's because dnf metadata is massive compared to apt's. If you're installing something on Fedora for the first time, dnf needs to download about 100mb of metadata.
Being nice does not - or at least should not - make up for being incompetent.

True story: I once worked for place that at one point hired a front-end engineer who didn't know JavaScript. Nice guy, generally. But from my POV had listening skills that led to friction (and crap output for clients).

I was never able to wrap my head around the fact that within out team was a front end engineer who had no experience with JS. I don't want to work with a-holes but my job / career shouldn't be tied to someone who can't swim.
no mention of gnu screen or termux to maintain a persistent session when your ssh link drops over a very flaky connection?

those are, in my opinion, essential tools to know how to use.
This recall is basically just a formality, since the actual fix has already long since been rolled out OTA to all of the affected cars.
A checkin a day is also a great habit for coding. Or, since I'm a tester -- a new passing test, every day.
No, they aren't equivalent. But that's not an argument against eating isolated plant proteins.
I'll take competent or amazing with some annoying personality quirks over incompetent and highly likeable any day of the week.

The latter might be fun for chatting during a coffee break, but they consume resources while providing little of value which ultimately means more work for you.
You get upgrades every 6 months, but updates are rolled out constantly. For example Fedora gets the very newest kernels at the same pace as something like Arch, even for older releases. Fedora 33 currently has the same kernel as Fedora 35.

I would consider it "semi-rolling". It has major releases, and a few packages are pinned for the duration of the release, core stuff like glibc, systemd, GNOME, compilers / toolchains for various languages and so on. But the rest of the system is kept very up to date.
I live in hope FF will catch up with Chrome on printing functionality.

It's also a bit disappointing to see another project chooses proprietary service for the communication. I joined #rust-audio:matrix.org almost a year ago and just figured the project was dead since the room isn't bridged and it's completely quiet there. Turns out everyone's on Discord.

If you're a musician, sound industry professional or just a hobbyist, I invite you to join the Mixing room on the Matrix.org server (https://matrix.to/#/#mixing:matrix.org) for a general chat.
Excellent point. I'd definitely would watch that. And seriously, I think your larger point is that if you're going mess about with some legendary original source material, doing it in a self-referential way that says, "Yes, we know the original isn't what we're doing here, and here's how we are different on purpose" is probably something you want to think about.
Find love. Make a family.

But first, you must shed al appearance of wealth, and don’t ever let anybody know about your money until your babies need it.
I hold the opposite view it should be purely viewed through market dynamics in terms of solutions to societal problems we are trying to solve. As soon as you try to come up with the solution that ignores them you immediately get 2nd order effects that might be directly undermining your original goals. If there is lack of housing any solution that does not meaningfully increase the supply of houses will fail. (I am an immigrant so have pretty decent grasp on sacrifices one makes to move to get access to better opportunities).
> I think that even the people who hold flags saying God hates fags aren't against civil unions.

That's hilariously naive. There's tens of thousands of victims of hate crimes for merely existing as LGTBQIA+ people. You think someone's okay with a civil union while they're lynching a gay man? Get the fuck out of here with this oppressor-forgiving rewriting of history.

I was there, I lived it, this is total bullshit.

For God's sake.

It's screenplay writers work to adapt. One did a good job if they create a nice screen play. If that work is simplified by a solid foundation (pun intended), we'd expect at least not worse off from starting from scratch.

Look at what we get in this visual carnage of garbage.
I agree; it really could make a surpassingly excellent show.

All the possession contagion dovetails with our COVID concerns, yet is so different as to allow exploration by metaphor.

The instagramish phenomenon Kiera Nightly convinces youths to travel to a remote place where they are tortured until they yield to possession: Reminds me of fyrefest.

The large amount of hilarious dark humor should translate very well. For example, the sadistic edenist who overcomes possession by being the mentally strongest edenist. And the plain sadist who re-possesses his body from his possessor by being more screwed-up than a soul that had endured what amounts to hell.
Well, it's useful to have great people you can learn from, but eventually what matters in life is the relationships you make. The two don't compete though. Plenty of competent people who are also nice and trustworthy.
Agree with your question. I'm in the planning stages of a music notation app for myself and supporting arbitrary time signatures seems (from the ignorant outside!) as foundational as supporting a single time signature.

Super ignorant on my part, but still. I suspected that the time signature was a calculation relative to the BPM. Once i have the difficulty for calculating how long a single beat is, and the significance of the beat, i would expect i could apply those primitives to any time signature. Which is to say once i write the function, don't i support all time signatures?

Super curious if this is not the case.
I don't know if it's still maintained, but the Minwaita theme (found on the usual theme websites) is just a fork of the default Adwaita theme that has less padding, especially in the top bar and the title bars.
I've been confused about the "gas giants" since I first learned about them in gradeschool, but never really took it upon myself to dig into it deeply.

Whenever I think about planets, I think about a big rock you can land on, but if Jupiter and Saturn are made entirely of gas, landing on them is a non-sequitur, correct?

Do most planets start out as gas giants? Does the effect of gravity over epochs compress them into rocky planets? How should we think about them in terms of our solar system? In how we explore? In how we colonize?

Looks like some people think it is complete, in which case, it's just not particularly good.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tale_of_the_Doomed_Prince

There are a few complete ones that are OK, relatively speaking. They're all pretty short and there aren't that many stories from pre-classical Egypt, so if you're interested, I'd say track them down and give them a try, but don't expect easy reads. I guess part of why I favor those two, especially the latter, is that I can imagine they might become great, when whole.
The best products come from solving real problems. Cool to see the very real problem where this great idea came from
Counterpoint: strong social bonds and centers of community make people less susceptible to extremist beliefs/behavior by reducing atomization. In my farm town, both the democrat and the conservative farmer go to the VFW for fish fry.

Unfortunately, that didn't make it into CentOS 7.

CentOS 8 does appear to run without root. Maybe someday I can use it in production.

I was not aware that this had happened.
The real reason is two fold:

1. Developed countries want to keep the developing country poor, by setting the narrative and keep nuclear: the cheapest/most efficient energy out of competitor's hand so they can stay poor.

2. Nuclear bomb ready country want to shut out every possibility for others to get a hands on them. Most nuclear warhead program started by using nuclear powerplant as disguise.

The environment problem is unsolvable because no one with the power want to solve them
> SELinux [is] kinda esoteric and hard to understand

I don't totally disagree with you, but a thought suddenly struck me: maybe, exactly like Git, it isn't hard to understand, it's just that the UI, UX, and attendant documentation are not written for the majority of their potential audience. And thus, in the same way that many people fix Git problems by simply blowing away their local repo and starting over, SELinux users simply `setenforce 0` and walk away.

I know people who live where there is no zoning and went from having nothing but empty land next to their house, to a car mechanic, loud gym, fireworks stand, and many other undesirable businesses (to be living beside) in their backyard. You definitely will want some zoning. I am not familiar with zoning laws in your area and know you are not advocating for no zoning at all, but just food for thought.

As in graphics in the terminal? The way that works is through the draw(3) kernel device which is a 2d engine with an rpc interface. You load text and bitmaps into the draw device and then issue rendering commands. The kernel terminal device, cons(3) is where the terminal text is written to and cons sends that to to draw. When you start a graphical program, it overwrites the window graphics from cons(3) until the graphical program exits or the window deleted. There is no in band cursor control in plan 9 as it is a graphics oriented OS.

So its not just porting a terminal. It's the entire OS. Of course there is p9p, plan 9 port, which is a port of the core plan 9 user space tools to Unix systems. It does offer a draw server that can be mounted.
Just as an anecdote. I was in a doctoral program in engineering, and I mastered out into a 90k/yr job (this was in the early 2000s) writing cplex code to optimize supply chains. A buddy in the PhD program was doing nearly identical work for a 15k/yr stipend.

Yeah, it's definitely just for quick checks if the text is in fact using unicode. But, hopefully just for stuff you're suspicious of where you could mandate no-unicode.

You can't fake being a nice person and getting along. It's obvious to everyone, and people dislike you even more. They might fake being nice in return, but they'll avoid interacting with you and won't go to bat for you when it matters.
> George R.R. Martin is still underrated, even given his success. He wrote for television for a long time and structured his novels more like seasons of TV, with each chapter serving as an episode.

It was never intended for film or TV. It was almost intentionally unfilmable.

“I had worked in Hollywood myself for about 10 years, from the late ’80s to the ’90s. I’d been on the staff of The Twilight Zone and Beauty and the Beast. All of my first drafts tended to be too big or too expensive. I always hated the process of having to cut.” When he took up novel-writing afterward, he recalls: “I said, ‘I’m sick of this, I’m going to write something that’s as big as I want it to be, and it’s going to have a cast of characters that go into the thousands, and I’m going to have huge castles, and battles, and dragons.”

> * Has tab groups. There doesn’t seem to be a tab group add-on for Firefox that works like Chrome’s tab groups.

Have you tried Tree Style Tabs? Presents your tabs as a collapsible, hierarchical sidebar tree. Even when Chrome was kicking Firefox's ass in every other aspect, I stuck with FF because of TST. It's so much better than any other UI for tab management I've ever seen.

If you go through the steps of disabling the top tab bar and sidebar padding elements in user chrome CSS, it's more space effective than anything else too.
It's more how to put up with liars, bullshitters, scam artists, fraud people, sexual harassers, but hey, they are the nicest bunch of folks, if you raise your voice, you aren't a team player or not in the cultural fit.
I read the books so long ago that I remember zero about them. So "lack of fidelity to the books" is hardly my issue.

The issue is: they're high-glitz Hollywood garbage: "We can't think of any new ideas, so we'll just make the actors more 'modern' and relatable, and spend a lot on the CGI."

It's interesting that I don't watch much sci-fi, but AppleTV is also running Invasion which I do find watchable. Even though those characters are also kinda cliched.

Second this. It is weird that parent went from incompetence directly to being terminated. Competence is built over long periods of time, and if you're lucky you can positively influence an "incompetent" person rather than putting them back into the water.
How to Make Sure a House Has No Hidden Problems
If you are buying a new house, you have to check a lot of things, both basic and advanced. An example of the latter would be asbestos, septic system, etc. Usually, people do not pay much attention to these factors and face problems later on. But, you can always call home inspectors in Mississauga, who will do this job for you.
The crapola comes from overconfident takes by various writers who turned this into a simplistic narrative. I’m glad to see a reporter following up.

Thanks for all the work you put in homebrew, I really appreciate it. Just upgraded to Monte Rey a few days ago and I was kind of fearful that some of the things that I needed where not going to work... nop, every singe package that I've needed so far was installed successfully.

Thanks!
Great Design Can Seriously Upgrade Your Content Marketing

This seems strange to me. I’m sure I’m friends with people who want to abolish the IRS (American tax agency) or folks who perhaps want to privatize other agencies like Social Security (American “pension” system) or folks who send their kids to charter schools. I couldn’t imagine ending a friendship over this.
Basically, the difference between "a logic error in the calling script — so the caller should abort too, because the caller has been proven as of that execution-step to be misprogrammed, and so continuing could be dangerous"; vs "anything else that isn't the calling script's fault."

For actually digging into the "anything else" and fixing it (if you even have the privileges on the offending system) — well, that's what error messages are for.
AppSmith is aimed more on building UIs when Motor Admin has a single unified admin UI which can be configured and extended via simple configurations without visual builders.

Due to this approach it should be much easier to build admin panels using Motor Admin.

>Is it really a terrible idea to restrict your software from being used to control weaponry?

Seems reasonable until you do something unrelated to offend the licensor and they decide to leverage a very loose definition of weaponry/munitions against you. For example, have a look at what is consider munitions for the purpose of export controls in the USA, and consider what additional items have been regulated as munitions in the past:

Yes part of it is difference in organization side. And if I have to go back into the industry I am definitely seeking out a smaller org, as I have learned that larger companies aren't for me.

And to their credit, my last team was actually very good. Nice people, all very smart programmers. But the product was still a mess, and corporate's gotta corporate.
Good points. I was mostly thinking that instead of sitting wherever they are surfing Reddit and reading Russian lit they could be doing that in the one item on their list of potential next life steps where there's almost zero risk of getting into a situation that is difficult to get out of (they said they have a long list, but of the ones mentioned that one is "easy" to start doing today and ending tomorrow without complications).

Re taxes in particular I would guess there's no risk of hopping on a plane today and figuring that out later. As much as everyone likes to think governments are sitting there waiting to shout "got ya" it seems unlikely that any single government starts putting you on a tax watch list as soon as your passport is scanned at the airport.

I'm a 39 year renter flush with cash from 15 years of a professional job while living in austerity for the entire time. Soliciting free advice.

You sound bullish so I wanted to share five risks in the short term that have been on my mind lately:

1) Evictions now allowed in 43 states after a pandemic moratorium on them. My state allowed them October 3rd. Supply.

2) A China conflict at any point. Disruption.

3) Taxes going up on the wealthy. Disruption.

4) Rates going up to counter inflation. I want this one since I have cash and don't care if rates are 2% or 20%. While I do want the free loan (2%), I prefer the market to crash. Disruption.

5) Vaccine mandate job losses. Supply.

Given this, I've been extremely hesitant lately. So I've been trying to hold off until January for my purchase to see how correct I am, or not, on these risks impacting the market. I don't see the point in waiting years as rent drains about $18,000 a year and you have to balance that with home ownership costs. Even with repairs, I don't mind slightly overpaying if it means getting out of rent slavery. I'm also buying a home that I can nearly buy outright. I'm determined to never lose a home due to job loss, tired of working for someone else, so a 30-year mortgage isn't happening under any circumstance. 15-year only.

The one way I've been trying to protect myself is at least seeking a 15% discount off market rate for any home that I do purchase. I see that happening in my city enough that I'm confident. Eats into the 40% buffer from 2019, so I'm still at significant risk but does take some bite off in the event of a market catastrophe.

Any thoughts are welcome. Definitely would appreciate it. Whether the answer is: buy now, or, buy in 15 years. I'll try to integrate them into my view and choices.
Can you sell it and later find out a black man is going to use it and prevent that man from using it?

> but there is one thing I will say. Some generation in the future might look back at our problems with "democracy" and the issues we have with one-man-one-vote, and laugh because the notion of humans having equal votes is a long gone memory. The crypto-hierarchy won't care about anything other than your "stake".

The CityDAO example Vitalik gives uses a one person/one vote system.

Crypto’s not inherently about replacing democracy. A lot of it is about experimenting with varied rule systems that our existing democracies are otherwise incapable of changing. Like shaping our rules for the commons more explicitly in order to nudge things in a better direction. The article points out the misaligned incentives between land owners, residents, and the city collective: land owners want to restrict supply to make their land more valuable, but this restricts growth of the city. For many, crypto is the biggest hope not for building some anarcho utopia, but just for experimenting with tweaks that might better align the incentives for everyone within a city. e.g. put all the land in a city inside a trust and replace land ownership with a share of that trust: now land owners don’t want to increase their tiny plot by restricting supply: they want to increase the whole pie, which can better be done by investing instead of speculating.

It’s hard to believe our cities today have all found their perfect form. Crypto gives you the tools to more rapidly diversify these systems, in the hope of finding better forms, faster.
The difference between mainstream distros is shrinking. Soon, the most popular ones will come with pipewire, wayland and a recent GNOME with few modifications by default.

Thanks to flatpaks, appimages and snaps, I can finally have recently released software with a very stable distro. Hand compiled sofware often goes to /usr/local by default and I can install it without breaking anything. If I want bleeding edge without compiling it myself, I can still resort to guix, nix or homebrew.

The "native package manager" is not something we have to interact with so often these days. Linux on desktop has had some interesting improvements lately and the thing that was pointed by many as its biggest problem - fragmentation - is a much smaller issue now.
