Are there computer/video games that work on this level, didactic and narrative, as well as having substantial gameplay? I expect there are some with a lot of e.g. military history, but I haven’t played those myself. Of course most games will teach you how to play the game itself, but can they do more while still succeeding as games?

Hack ‘n’ Slash is my best example, it gets across some basic ideas about data structures, gameplay scripting, and cheat methods. But I don’t know how much of that can be picked up purely from the game, since it’s all through stuff the player has to figure out how to do (even with some prompting). You don’t get to learn from watching a character figure it out. Not that one or the other is better, I’m just curious about other examples.
backup tools - syncthing / rsync / zfs snapshots

storage - workstations have copy of data via syncthing. Archival storage is on hp microservers

Backup workflow - daily rsync from workstations, syncthing for frequently used data. Microservers are backed up on external usb disk enclosures (zfs snapshots). Phones are backed up via syncthing also

Cost - electricity at home / offoce and swapping dead disks
You built just a narrative that makes you comfortable with your life. It's not like the "saints" were the only ones tortured at the colosseum but as usually people remember and care only about the ones sharing the same beliefs(i.e pack mentality).

People are bing killed and tortured today as well for various reasons(i.e "god" doesn't like their orientation or behaviour). See also Rohingya genocide. Do something for these people and I'm sure that your life will be more worthy by any ethical standard than if you don't eat pork or whatever dietary/religious convictions you follow. Maybe you even become a "saint" for them.

You don't need historical events to build a way of life. History is happening right now.
I love working hard. I actually do. 16 hours a day for 30 days straight doing meaningful stuff -- bring it on. (I'm exaggerating the actual numbers slightly here, but you know)

But when I am in "the office" for 7 hours every day for a month doing chore shit or nothing, I get absolutely bored and my efficiency drops to perhaps 5% of the optimal. The only way to get past that is a vacation where I do not think about work (in the office sense) for 1-2 weeks.

4 day work week might postpone how fast that getting bored happens, but it does not fix this.

So, what I need and I suspect perhaps some other people need also is a society where one can say "hey people, it seems like I'm in the 5% zone. I'm gonna go away for two weeks, see you then." and everyone will think "he's a good worker/person/human because he knows how to keep himself in optimal working condition".
OpenSea, Web3, and Aggregation Theory
If I'm searching for a development issue, and my first results page contains 2-3 sites that 1-1 copy stackoverflow/github issues, then Google has failed. I doubt those can be more authorative than the original sources
Well, it is a play of words, perhaps not entirely appropriate, but point was made. Definitely not proposing to have the image of the Holy Mother replaced with one of a pig in holy places... Still, pigs are killed (is it okay to say 'give their lives'?) for food, for clothing, for medicine now, and in the future. It's not about pigs, really - but sheep also treated similarly (save for the medicine yet), while horses and chimps not so much. Dogs - as many pointed is difficult to imagine having dogs for food or waist-belts or ... heart donors.

Should we wrap up things with "it's about life to kill things to live", well, it'd be a dramatic over-simplification of what life is about. And it's not as much the way of "life without humans", because (afaik) no animal is known to mass produce or mass kill and definitely not using other animals fur/skins for clothing. What we can say is that humanity is very much accustomed to this perpetual exploitation, but it is a very long discussion before it can be justified as the 'way of life'.

Of course - this is my position, and not trying to impose it, just making a point really. Not trying to convince anyone to quit meat, or to not buy a nice purse.

Just taking a moment to reflect.
Not to diminish what has happened to you, but flu can cause long-term effects as well. Look up "long flu" or the CDC page on influenza. COVID is worse than influenza in almost every way. We have learned to live with flu and its multiple annual variations. It still infects millions of Americans and kills thousands or tens of thousands every year.
Maybe time to revisit your assumptions. I'd grant the Guardian was still fairly decent under Rubsbridger, but under Viner its quality has dropped precipitously. Full 180 on Assange, dereliction of their previous general support for international and UK leftwing issues. Nowadays they are a joke, washy liberalism and snapping at the coat-tails of US democrat readers (if any). A taint which also loses readers and undermines the authority of their (better) climate writers, which is a shame.
Some of us need to learn to see one another as more than mere resource first.
> pro-KMT, which is about as anti-CCP as you can get

This isn't a binary issue. Historically, the KMT was the main opposition to the CCP, but both of these factions claim control over the mainland of China.

The DPP (the greens) are both anti-CCP and anti-KMT, since the DPP is pro-independence; China is China, while Taiwan is Taiwan, and neither is a part of the other.

I don't think there is a conflict between a right for absolute speech (on a practical level) and being held responsible for direct and foreseeable harm without a mitigating reason.

I.e. nobody can shut your mouth, or stop you from speaking, but there can still be consequences if your speech is directly aimed at unjustifiable harassment.

For instance, simply making the video available on a web site would be protected speech (no restriction on that) - assuming no other law was conflicted (copyright, etc.) But going out of one's way to push the speech to those it harms, and on services that prohibit it, creates a problem independent of the freedom to simply speak/publish.

Likewise, you can publish technical secrets you were given under a nondisclosure agreement, but will be prosecuted civilly and possibly criminally (depending on circumstances) for the damage you have done to intellectual property value.

You can claim anything you want for some product, but expect to pay for it legally if you are defrauding people.

You can publish any code you want, source or object code, but expect to pay the consequences if you are publishing code that doesn't belong to you, or violating an open source license by only publishing in one form, without providing the required form, or without proper attribution.

Etc.

For all those cases, nobody limits your speech, but direct consequences of your speech can still result in enforcement action.

You're overestimating the smarts of google: Image search does not classify image contents. It uses the site text for ranking of the images on that site. It finds lots of "Black And White Couple Stock Photo" images - the image description in fact contains the string "white couple".

Not sure that's true. The fraudulent element there would be the clear and intentional misrepresentation. If the package were represented as a Bitcoin miner, that's one thing. However, representing it as color and styling for your terminal and then mining with it, that seems illegal. Would love a lawyer to weigh in.

I live in Taiwan. Very, very few people here are pro-PRC. Tons of Taiwanese people love China and culturally consider themselves Chinese (to be clear, not Chinese citizens.)

The vast majority of people disagree on if they should either give up and surrender to the PRC because they may launch missiles or invade once they have a non-laughing stock navy, avoid a bloody war, or if China wouldn’t dare to do that because it would trigger WW3 so they are safe to declare and protect their country (Taiwan.)

Everyone out here agrees that the PRC is basically evil.

Edit: Just want to add that a lot of you probably have no idea that Chinese people and Taiwanese people also get along with each other just fine. They are unfortunately a geopolitical chess piece on the table between the PRC and Deep State US.

I find it deliciously ironic that when Taiwanese people travel or work in China that they use their ROC (Taiwanese) passport and there is no issue with that. A lot of the conflict is also theatre for your American news cycle.

I think this point is very hard to argue against. Natural selection has no intent, mutation is random and its consequences are thus flukes as to whether they work or not to support an organisms survival. Very well explained @_nothing!
C and C++ also have light stdlibs from my point of view, just like Rust.

Rust has collections, strings and algorithms manipulating these. It supports synchronous IO (files and network) and can work with threads/processes. It lacks async IO, higher level network protocols (e.g. HTTP and TLS), regex, advanced unicode support, serialization, UUIDs, GUI, linear algebra/vectors, logging, encoding, time, randomness, command line parsing, cryptography, compression.

C++ has reasonable randomness and time support, but apart from that Rust isn't far behind.

What GUI library, if any, is used by Reaper and Winamp? Or is it low level graphics code?

I feel like that's the biggest hurdle; you can get web developers by the dozens to craft specialized UIs, but any native GUI will be Windows only, some Mac but only because they're familiar with iOS, QT but they're likely a dying breed, etc.

I don't feel like there's a strong alternative to cross-platform webapps (in electron) at the moment.

That said, I do strongly believe that any serious company (think Slack, Discord, Spotify) has the financial resources available to create native applications for all platforms, with a web based version on top. The issue there is that it's really hard, if not impossible, to get a consistent style on all native development platforms; the designers will insist on their company wide design standards / language.

Therefore, native GUI toolkits should allow for the flexibility of web/CSS styling.

I think "attack" still best describes the move even if it was an indirect attack (ie he poisoned his own code then others ran it). The intention was to create a denial of service "bug" as a protest and given it was deliberate I don't think the term "bug" is sufficient. But you're right it wasn't a direct attack and I'm inclined to also agree that it wasn't intended to be malicious (though not all attacks are).

> In fact, I also take issue with GitHub / Microsoft taking over the package and am very worried about the precedent that sets, regardless if their motives this time appear to be entirely selfless.

Yeah, I agree with you here.
For many applications, you're correct. Logic works just fine. However, we should also be careful about this because for many machines the programming interface to control it has a low level controller that may in fact have a PID to provide stability.

A PID control provides a method for a real-time, feedback controller. The real-time portion can be important for quickly and often smoothly guiding the system from one point to another. The feedback portion can be important because it provides a mechanism to adjust to a changing system based on something that we can tangibly measure. Though, at this point, programming logic could still do both of these things.

That said, a PID controller can provide theoretical guarantees that would be difficult to analyze using an arbitrary piece of code. At its core, we generally use a PID controller to control a system governed by a differential equation. For example, we could say that our system is well modeled by the system, `diff(y) = f(y) + u` where `y` represents the state, `f` the dynamics, and `u` the control. This `u` could be a piece of programming logic. It could be a PID controller. If we choose a PID controller, then we now have a new differential equation `diff(y) = f(y) + kp y + kd diff(y) + ki int(y)`. This differential equation is now all in `y`. At this point, we have theorems like Lyapunov stability that can tell us whether or not the system will converge to a particular point for all starting solutions within some region. This is a very useful and powerful guarantee. Without it, it may be possible for system to enter a feedback loop that damages the machine. Can we get the same for some logic? Sure. In fact, we can still use theorems like Lyapunov stability, but it's not always straightforward as to how what these equations look like and whether they're in a form that's easy to analyze. If the logic has time dependence, it can get hard. If there's some strange nonlinearities or discontinuties, like if statements, it can get hard. If the result can't be written as a first-order system, it can get hard. If there's a time delay and the result becomes a delay differential equation, it can get hard. Again, it doesn't mean it won't work and it doesn't mean that there may not be a stability guarantee, but ensuring that can be really important.

Now, candidly, most people don't ever model their system and check the differential equation. That said, if the underlying system is linear and time independent (or close to it), we can still use a PID and get stability guarantees without even knowing the particulars of the system. It may perform poorly, so we still need to tune the PID parameters, but there's still stability. If we take a linear system and add some logic to it and the logic is nonlinear, then it becomes a difficult question again to understand how the system will behave.

As one other side benefit, PIDs can also be designed from analog components, which can give a very, very fast response that can be much smoother than a microcontroller on an update loop. This is not always important, but nice when it helps.

None of that is true. There are stories over stories of Humans refusing to do harm to other Humans even if it means their death. Conditioning Humans to kill other Humans often involves dehumanizing the enemy in order to circumvent that built-in safety measure. Not everybody can just defuse that switch when he needs to.

You are ASSuming I am male and heterosexual. You are assuming homosexuality has somehow not evolved naturally or does not play a part in the natural repertoire of Human social structure (spoiler alert: it does, even in terms of procreation).

That street in particular has been closed for all traffic except buses and trams (and necessary service cars I guess, like the parked van on street view). On [1] you can see Stortingsgata labeled in blue as "kolletivgate" (collective street). As the graphic shows most streets at the very core of the city have been closed to general traffic, the bluish streets are mostly only public transportation and the pinkish streets are mostly pedestrian and bike lanes. Outside the core you see more cars on the roads.

The grep above will match itself in the output. One way that I have seen to filter it out is grep -v grep, but if you are actually looking for grep processes, then this won't work.

The shell can also filter these out. Consider this basic shell function:

pps () (

IFS=\|

ps -ef |
while read a
do case $a in
*$1*|+([!0-9])) printf %s\\n "$a";;
esac
done
)

This uses a shell pattern instead of a regular expression (shells with more features than POSIX can also use regex). It's actually a dual pattern, either no numbers which match the header, or a match of the pattern specified as the first function argument.

The function uses a subshell () instead of command grouping {}. This allows IFS to be manipulated without modifying this setting outside the function, at the cost of a fork. POSIX doesn't support local shell variables; if your shell does (with typeset or local keywords), it will be slightly more efficient.

My function would slot into yours, but yours would not work in the Debian default (dash) shell, because the "function" keyword is not defined in POSIX.

POSIX approaches are the most important, because you can use them just about everywhere.
> Wait, what? The golden ratio's in there?! No. Way! That's so cool. And the solution it's some random garbage, but pretty regimented. Neat-o!

The golden ratio is the solution to x(x-1) = 1. And its reciprocal is the solution to x(x+1) = 1. This equation is probably the simplest equation with irrational solutions aside from x*x = 2 and hence appears all over the place in mathematics.

You're thinking about this wrong. I've had a company fail and ended up living in my car. I was majorly in debt. The Texas AG filed a lawsuit against me which was super no-bueno. I ended up living in literal garages all over the country for years.

And yet, I was not disillusioned by what I did. I was disillusioned by all the crap I saw, but not my stuff.

To be a bit mean to the OP, nobody should expect the world to provide you fulfillment if you're not willing to create it yourself. Quit worrying about what exists or what "will survive in the current commercial culture" and find something to do yourself or a group to work with that's doing something interesting. Blaming the world for not being up to your satisfaction is old-man-yelling-at-clouds territory. The OP is too young to be that disillusioned.
