We can use the `compgen -b` (`help cd` to get short help or `man bash-builtins` to read man pages) to list all internal bash commands. For example, we can use the `type -a cmd1` or `command -V cmd1` to see if `cmd1` is built-in or external binary.
Many platforms will ship a (mostly) useless cd binary.
I can’t say enough good things about this project and its developers. A year or two ago, I decided to write a driver to allow EmuTOS to use the RTC found in Jookie’s excellent UltraSatan hard drive emulator.

They took the time to do a bunch of hand-holding on the mailing list, and worked with me until the driver, along with some minor restructuring to how things were handled with external RTCs, were working and merged.

I use it pretty-much exclusively on my (currently 8) ST variants. It’s a much nicer desktop experience, and brings all sorts of cool features to the table such as (some level of) FAT32 support. It’s also been ported to a crazy list of M68K systems including the Apple Lisa.

Development is still very active, and things are being improved and added all the time.
I think this is often misunderstood and overstated. Evidenced by the fact that most species don't live very long. The longest living lasts 3-5 years. Dexterity is one aspect of intelligence, but it's insufficient to infer high-level consciousness.

Good riddance. I was born in 1991 and I learned (and hated) cursive in elementary school with my teachers nagging us that "every paper you write going forward will be in cursive". Even back then I thought that was bullshit but I was big into/bullish on computers, even in elementary school. Sure enough I don't think we used it in middle school at all other than to sign our names.

I still distinctly remember taking the ACT, opening the booklet and it saying "Please write the following paragraph below in cursive" (it was a bit about how you hadn't cheated or received outside help, 2-3 sentences) and my blood running cold as I hadn't written cursive in almost 8 years. I meekly raised my hand after a minute or two and said "Um, I don't think I remember all the letters to write this in cursive" which was followed by a LOT of people exhaling/sighing, thankful that someone else spoke up. The teacher/proctor was a little confused for a minute and asked the room who else wasn't sure they could and pretty much every hand went up. After a minute she just said "just print it, it will be fine".

To this day (some ~14 years later) the only thing I write in cursive is my name and even that's a stretch, I get the first letter, a distinct letter in the middle/end and call it a day.
As far as I know most of the workers use their own vehicles and in that case, how is it possible they don't know how expensive they are?
The people who used the writing took the time to learn it, so it's not a "BS excuse". Your comment derided the system on a general level. From your point of view it might not make sense to learn it, but not from the point of the historic users.

Once you learned it, you see that the similarity of letters is only superficial and you can distinguish them quite nicely, especially with context. You actually start to recognise patterns. And since the system gives you only very few ways to deviate, these patterns are surprisingly uniform across different authors. I haven't seen that with other cursive systems to this extent.

It becomes a bit harder though with writing from after the war, when people started to mix Latin into their Kurrent or Sütterlin.
To be fair if I was an exec at a company and the new IT lead wants me to commit, in writing, to XYZ, I’d not keep them around long. You can’t run a company on that kind of deep mistrust.

Nothing in the OP suggests abusive management. Incompetence, maybe, but I see no reason to assume that they’ll backtrack on agreements, and a new management hire who immediately starts sewing mistrusts is not someone I’d trust to get things to a higher level.
Contractor, in all of the cases. Employment is not possible if the company does not have a legal entity in Poland, and they were all startups with only presence being in the US. I think they also like having foreign contractors, because they pay them less than they would US employes, but the contractors have zero benefits or other rights. (That may be different for late-stage startups BTW when the company wants to get acquired, because I imagine the intellectual rights aspect of the international contracts may raise some eyebrows during the due diligence.)

How is this the kernel's fault? The article says "pthread_cond_signal() will signal on the wrong futex". Yes I understand futexes are tricky, but I don't see how they're broken.
As a nearly 42-year-old American, I fully agree with you. In particular:

> That future generations are cut off from old writings is nonsense.

Some of us are cut off anyway, until the writing is either OCR'd or manually transcribed. I'm legally blind (though with some usable vision), and some of my friends are totally blind. I can read handwriting if it's magnified enough, or large enough to begin with, but my skill for deciphering handwriting has faded due to disuse. It's very rarely a problem anymore.

Some of my least happy memories from elementary school are of learning to handwrite. My teachers quite reasonably thought that I would be better off if I learned to make maximal use of the vision I have. It made sense at the time (the 80s and early 90s); if I had only been proficient at writing in Braille or on a computer, I would have had no way to write something in-class that could then be immediately read by my sighted teachers and peers (unless I used the one classroom computer, as I sometimes did). But now I wish I had started learning Braille in first grade, and that they had made me keep using it even when I thought I didn't need it. And these days, any low-vision kid shouldn't have to waste any time at all learning to handwrite. Honestly, I wish they'd quit teaching sighted kids to handwrite too, so future generations wouldn't produce any more text that's inaccessible to us. But I suppose that's too extreme.

The one and only article linked to by this one is arguably worth posting here, and in fact, it was, about an hour ago (I'm guessing as a response to the vacuity of this one.) Unlike this one, and somewhat ironically, it seems to have been ignored so far.

No of course not.
I generally break down goals into tiny actions and try to combine tiny actions to goals to see if there is any confusion.

Tasks -> Projects -> Streams -> Goals

I think in this format.
Breaking task down into small single actions can be very helpful for those with executive function disorders.

This is part of GTD.
It is fairly common for banking apps to include various "RASP" (runtime application self protection) tools/libraries which scan for various syndromes of attacks, including whether the phone is rooted, any screen overlay is active, a debugger is active or a dangerous app is installed (e.g. a SMS stealer). See e.g. https://www.ibm.com/products/trusteer-mobile-sdk
It’s wild that content producers stoop to “the only way for me to protect my shitty content on your phone, is for you to no longer be in control of your own phone.”

But it’s even more wild that the industry laps it up. Thank god the tech isn’t actually good enough to truly achieve the vision - a corporate wet dream and a consumer dystopian nightmare.
I learned to write cursive, but a decade without writing at all meant I can no longer do so, and so rely entirely on non-cursive writing.

Cursive is vastly superior. It’s not even close. It’s way more efficient. It’s easier to read. It helps you think in larger units reducing mental burdens (you think of writing in terms of words, as opposed to single characters, because if you’ve written them frequently enough, a word becomes a memorized unit in itself).

If we believe writing is important we need people to write and read cursive. The only reason I would not think this is important is if as a society we agree that with the rise of typing writing itself is not important.
It only does a fraction of what magit does. I just use it for scrolling though the commit history, occasionally searching messages, and it's my tool of choice for staging/unstaging hunks.

It's the only tool I use to compliment the git cli.
Partly I think if you have experience in web dev, you learn to recognize which frameworks/technologies are worth pursuing and which are not.

Left/right sound localization is partially a function of "shadow" created by the head. However more important to localization is the pinna, the outer ear.
Sound enters the earhole directly AND reflects off the folds in the pinna.
This causes complex comb filtering. (cancellation) Our brain learns how to correlate sound direction with these complex filterings. It's quite amazing.

Some audio workstations (Logic) have "binaural" processing to try and emulate this effect. It can never be perfect because everyone's ears are shaped a little different.

Saw this claim elsewhere and it’s very misleading. Here’s what was actually stated:

> Google senior vice president Prabhakar Raghavan told the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference that according to Google's internal studies, "something like almost 40% of young people when they're looking for a place for lunch, they don't go to Google Maps or Search, they go to TikTok or Instagram."

Yes, even large parts of the map went unused in single player.

And the heists mechanic was seriously underused. Just when you got the hang of it, it was the last heist in the story. I would have paid money for a DLC bringing more heists.

I know I'm in the minority here, but let me explain why it's not terrible audio mixes or bad actors.

The overall trend in TV and movies has been towards greater realism in all aspects. Less stage-audience sitcoms, more single-cam. Less "look at this actor" and more "look at this real person".

Actors aren't mumbling, they're speaking how real people speak. Trust me, screen actors have more stage training than ever -- they know how to enunciate but if they do, the director tells them to stop because they seem like they're giving a fake theatrical performance rather than being a slice of real life.

And because more and more people have huge TV's with great contrast, 5.1 surround systems, or are watching with AirPods with spatial audio... TV is becoming more film-like both in range of brightness and loudness. For many people (like myself) this is a godsend. It's like I'm at the cinema every time I watch an hour-long drama. It's amazing.

We could go back to low-contrast everything and overly enunciated actors, the way sitcom TV was, designed for small screens and terrible speakers. But that just feels so... backwards and limited and fake.

HOWEVER, I do firmly believe that modern TV content should be made more accessible, and that it's high time to build adjustable "end-user compression" into all TV's and video players. Let the user apply automatic volume equalization so quiet parts are just as loud as the loud parts when you're watching TV in your living room with lots of activity around. (And with 5.1 signals, you can even always keep dialog louder than sound effects and music.) And brightness equalization so you can see what's happening in the dark scenes of Game of Thrones when you're in a sunlit room.
> There was a 10 year or so build up prior to Nevermind where punk (and it's variants) were not being played on the radio

The Ramones debuted at CBGB in 1976, The Misfits there in 1977. Black Flag formed in Hermosa Beach in 1976 as Panic. KROQ was airing punk by the late 1970s, as well as alternative radio stations and college radio. The Clash signed with Columbia (then CBS Records), an American label, in 1977, and their 1982 single, Should I Stay or Should I Go, was on wide radio rotation throughout the 1980's. So by Nevermind in 1991, Punk was very well established. Although it is a general rule that any punk bands that formed in the 1980's often didn't get wide recognition until the 1990's, but The Ramone's (Sedated) and The Clash got plenty of airplay from the late 1970's up until today. But I think it is more accurate to put Nirvana with the other Seattle and LA groups and change its genre label to Grunge.
I'm a soccer fan, the game is such a fine mix of skill (individual and collective) and luck, it is reminiscent of life itself.

I'm rarely a fan of commentators however, who more often than not and after the fact will point out how inevitable it was that one team won and the other one lost. The winning team was "more effective at defense", had "a brilliant striker", and what have you and so on. Still the winning goal might have been caused by a penalty after an attacker pretended to be tripped, a lucky shot from afar deflected off a defender, or the goalkeeper had sun in the eyes.

Rarely does a commentator admit that the win was luck. Or the that the loss was unlucky. Just saying.
Does your training include econometrics and statistics? In that case, maybe you could move (with further training) into data science and machine learning?
Just start somewhere. These guys are making changes, actual functional changes and bug fixes in that environment meaning they already have all the problems you imagine are going to get in the way of fixing this mess. So stop fretting and just start small with one tiny thing. It doesn't really matter with what. You don't even need automated tests necessarily. It's a small simple flow that needs 10 minutes to run the same test steps manually for? Write them down and do it manually, I don't care. Just Do it.

Been there, done that. Slightly differently where they had a test server and prod server. So already better except one day I made a change and copied to prod. Yes it was manual. Just scp the files over to prod. And stuff broke. Turned out someone had fixed a bug directly in prod but never made the change on the test server.

First thing I did was to introduce version control and create a script to do make deployment automatic meaning it was just a version control update on Prod (also scripting languages here). Magically we never had an issue with bugs reappearing after that.

Pretty simple change and you can go from there.

The above code base was over 20 years old and made use of various different scripting languages and technologies including some of the business logic being in stored procedures. Zero test coverage anywhere. You just 'hide' small incremental changes to make things better in everything you do. Gotta touch this part because they want a change? Well it could break anyhow so make it better and if it breaks, it breaks and you fix it. It needs judgment though. Don't rewrite an entire module when the ask was adding a field somewhere. Make it proportional to the change you need to make and sometimes it's not going to be worth it to make something better. Just leave it.

Fun! UI complaint: the animals block the objects so you can't easily see what they're on, which is annoying. Maybe shrink the animals a bit more, use a 3d effect, or add an option to make them partially transparent. Or just make them sit next to the obj instead of actually on top.

I'm okay with this. It's nearly impossible to stop every company from collecting your data, but it becomes a hell of a lot easier if you try to consolidate and trust one major company. For me, I try to limit the collection by Facebook and Google by putting more trust in Apple services and features. The alternative to this isn't Apple getting less data from me, it's that same data also going to Google and Facebook.

As an example, if I'm going to buy a "smart assistant", it'll be a Homepod instead of Alexa or Google Home. Not by brand loyalty, but by the nature that Siri may already be capturing all of that anyways so the additional data loss is minimal.
I can browse my phone/watch instagram videos with a NFLX show playing. If something interesting happens I can look up and quickly catch up on the dialogue by reading the caption.
The person I originally responded to was basically calling for actors to homogenize their speech in order to make them easier to understand. I disagree with this notion because I think that both altering how you enunciate things and how you "project" your voice alter them drastically and are not realistic for everyone to speak that way. They are inherently inauthentic, especially if you consider the speech patterns of various English accents and dialects. Certain accents are intrinsically linked to "mumbling." Certain types of voices are inherently not projected.

A great example is this video of Baltimoreans attempting to say "Aaron earned an iron urn." [1] The same person says it how they would naturally and with "proper" enunciation. With "proper" enunciation he was very easy to understand, but it was also not authentic to how he actually speaks.

> Beyond that, many of the characters we watch in media, are top tier of their professions, even if that profession is 'thief'.

Yes, but there's just as many, if not more, that aren't. I'm not saying it's unrealistic for say, a CEO or a news reporter to have adapted a "General American" accent. I don't think it's weird for even most characters to have an accent that is very understandable to most Americans. I just don't think you can or should expect that actors always speak in a certain way just to make it understandable to the most amount of Americans.

>it's fine to have non-POD unions

Only from C++11 (or is it later?). So a problem was created by relaxing the existing requirements for a "union" to which a solution was proposed by adding a "variant"? Something which had no runtime overhead (but UB) now has runtime overheads.

Regarding your point about "sum types", agreed.

In the end yes, mining companies have invested in various tech, accidentally not one really environmentally friendly for real, those green parts tend to be just scam business like CO₂ sequestration tech and nothing really used on scale.

No you can use third party Apps which list every Apps permissions.
I just checked and TikTok doesnt have the Query All Package permission so I suspect the privacy policy is just outdated or they are getting the info from third parties in some cases, realisticly only Launcher and antivirus type Apps are given this permission nowadays because its their core functionality but some of these probably sell this data.
>I find it impossible to concentrate on what is happening visually on screen in a film when closed captions are on.

This is a skill. I would have agreed with you 20 years ago but at some point I started putting them on because I could only afford a shitty audio setup and dramas got really mumbly. Took a while, but I learned to not be distracted by the subtitles.
I think it is a good term to use. I was interested to see a poll where about 70% of young people thought QQ was good and about 70% of old people thought it is bad.

I am in my 70s, so I could be wrong about this: young people never experienced the level of workers’ rights, pensions, etc. that were common 20 or 30 years ago. In general I think young people have a better balance between material desires and spending time enjoying their lives. They have made an adaptation that other demographics could benefit from.
Ah, yeah, I know that type. I guess those stories just seem so 1990s to me. I haven't seen any in a long while. Must be because I lived in East Asia for 10 years, I'm out of that bias. :P x
Without reading up about this history, I have no idea about the context and the particular details there. Was that energy market they were participating in an actual free market, or heavily regulated to prevent easy competition? I'd guess the latter, but can't definitively say so.

But in general, if there's free entry into a marketplace, there's a check against this sort of behavior. Rising prices are not bad: they are a flashing signal that society desperately wants more of a particular good and to provide more of it as quickly as possible. If company X tried to cut production of any good in an area and boost up their prices, every entrepreneur out there gets a neon flashing message that there's a new way to profit mightily if they can provide that good.
