As with Northern Irish bank notes, which have a similar place in English society to the Scottish ones. The pub I went to got very confused when I presented a £10 note issued by the Bank of Ireland, which I guess would be confusing if you had no knowledge of it.

I think the phrase "legal tender" has a lot to answer for here. It's a really well known phrase, and you'll hear shop owners say they can't accept these notes because they're not "legal tender", but the actual definition of it is only applicable when settling debt in specific circumstances.
They all sound pretty standard to me, with the exception of "mite". I think at one point most people would absolutely have known all of them, but there were hundreds or thousands of other regional variations that would have been less known.
Sometimes we just need to create another immensly complex layer on top of something, because the 10-year-old boring technology that already works is lame.

Was the Debian Maintainer Guide https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/index.en.html not helpful enough? When I tried to package stuff I found it easier to understand than the RPM docs.
It’s interesting because I always imagined that artists would be the last ones to be replaced by technology. I guess it really shows that we have no way to predict the future.
I have only heard of this sort of thing in the US. How can bullying of this sort be allowed ? Are the school authorities sleeping ?
> I don’t need to admit anything. You can read into anything as disingenuously as you like, and go rant off into corners; but you’d get equally far yelling at a wall.

Yet you decided to reply back and evaded answering my question. By doing that not only you indirectly admitted it, you already know that not 'everything' is working and anyone can check that for themselves.

> OP claimed that all of the hardware they tested (with an enumerated list of said hardware) worked as they expected. For you to take that as some guarantee that you should then have a perfect experience on a completely different (or even the exact same) piece of hardware is your issue.

It's Asahi Linux's problem to solve, not mine. Why would I bother to run something that has missing and less functionality than macOS and what part of the nonsensical claim of "Everything works… and works perfectly" don't you understand?

As I said before, the whole point of running Asahi Linux is to support all Apple Silicon machines which means both laptop and desktops. The hardware is not 'completely different' and we both know, and even those asking in the links in [0] and [1] also know that GPU acceleration, sleep and power management and also Touch ID is not exclusive to laptops nor is it properly working or even functional either.

Yet another one [2] questioned the "Everything works… and works perfectly" claim. It's almost as if it's better to be skeptical about someone hyping and claiming that 'everything works' about running alpha software these days...

Then don't buy a Mac, that simple.

WSL 2 is a Hyper V VM for running Linux distributions, while WSL emulated Linux syscalls.

Surely some of that salary can be used to make OEMs selling Linux hardware happy, instead of buying Apple and then complaining macOS isn't yet another Linux distribution.

If you want WSL like experience on Mac, VMWare is happy to provide it to you.

It is like complaining using Playstation SDK isn't fit to target Nintendo Switch, go figure!
Why did Shopify of all companies do this? Who would give Random Joe’s Shopify Store the permission to use their webcam? This looks like an absolute waste of time and money and a very impractical thing to use in general.
Key points raised by DHH:

1: Unless market conditions demand otherwise, delay native app development for as long as possible.

2: Hire full-stack developers, and don't let them split the frontend and backend into separate jurisdictions.

3: Hire designers who work natively with the web.

This largely depends on what you do, e.g macos doesn't have systemd and the features it depends on. I guess you can do all of what Linux does through containers but then it's just more cumbersome.

That said, if your workflow is to run everything containerized already, then running macOS as the base layer works just fine.
I'm not sure on the accuracy/authenticity of this, as I haven't seen anything in the news recently, but one thing they could do is ban 'young' sounding keywords, and the nation could institute a 20+ age limit for porn, that way all porn of 'teens' would be illegal, and using 'teen' to advertise porn should be as illegal advertising cigarettes on cartoon network.

That's just a blanket suggestion, I'm definitely not opposed to porn or people who watch porn, um stones and glass houses and things, but definitely opposed to people being exploited, there's plenty of people though who enjoy what they do, as long as platforms can be ethical they should have a place to go.

I'm not saying it is but everyone has survivorship bias. Kodak and other titans of industry of yesteryear also had their large campuses and projected growth too.

My point is that nobody can predict the future and nothing is guaranteed. Surviving isn't even the norm. We're down to about 50 companies from the original Fortune 500.

I don't think one failed prediction invalidates all predictions?

We have already partially replaced artists with technology. Have a look at how photography changed painting (eg painting portraits is no longer the staple breadwinner it used to be). Or see how recorded music removed the need for each bar to have their own performer.

In the past technology just meant that we re-defined art and what it means to be an artist. We will continue to do so in the future.

i am happy for your tool and productivity.

but where was powershell (introduced in 2006) on unix (introduced in 2016) when admins needed it since epoch?

the tools i have learnt might have more cryptic names but they were there since the beginning.

it took microsoft an awfully long time to realize cmd.exe just wont cut it.

also powershell has no choice but to include the kitchen sink to be usable because there is little composability in the windows shell world compared to the cambrian explosion of unix utilities.

anyway, each to their own, peace.
I've variously heard it was a 5% commission for the groom, jockey, or auctioneer. If a horse won a 100 guinea prize, the owner conventionally got 100 pounds and someone else got 100 shillings in commission.
BPC-157 is a small (15 amino acid) gastric peptide that's resistant to hydrolysis. All evidence suggests that it's orally bioavailable -- which means that you can get all of its benefits from consumption of BPC-157 pills or tablets -- and I've seen ZERO evidence that it's more effective via injection. I think that the people who rush to inject it, rather than simply take it orally, are addicted to needles or want to feel "hardcore."
It made me wonder if the descriptions were also AI-generated!
We've been in that dystopia for some time now already. Take a look at the history of temperature records for one example that's much more serious than Roald Dahl. In the 60s there were newspaper articles, conference reports, pop sci magazine articles, at least one TV documentary and letters from scientists to the US President all about global cooling. It was in the news because temperatures had been falling for decades (since the end of ww2 approximately). Climatologists predicted the trend would continue. Several explanations were presented by scientists including the emission of particulate matter by power stations that dimmed the sun. Graphs of average temperatures over time showed a clear cooling trend.

In the mid seventies this trend reversed and temperatures started going up. The new explanation became different emissions from power stations. By the end of the 80s climatologists were warning about global warming but they faced the issue of why it didn't happen between the 40s and mid 70s. By the turn of the millennium they'd started replacing historical data with recalculated values that reduced the extent of the mid century cooling, and once they crossed that Rubicon new versions of old data started being released regularly. There was always a new reason being found why people couldn't accurately read thermometers back in the day. New historical data smoothly and silently replaced old data on government websites. By the 2010s global cooling had vanished from the record entirely and temperature graphs showed a flat trend during that era.

Of course censorship isn't complete without denial it ever happened. Hence if you look for global cooling today, our glorious tech firm overlords will direct you to denials it ever existed at all. You have to know where to look to see the old newspaper clippings, the videos of Leonard Nimoy telling his viewers about the coming ice age, screenshots of old graphs, scans of the letter to the president etc.

And finally, because erasing all the old copies of documents is so hard, no historical editing regime can survive without training the population not to look. The above information is verboten in polite society, the media won't touch it along with many other things. All respectable people know never to question The Science lest they be immediately fired from their job or worse. There are people in this thread gamely saying they will just read pirate versions of these books to their kids, but that's not how it works. Give it ten years and reading the old editions of Dahl will be considered a firing offense and your kids will be trained by their teachers to disown you, if they catch you with such copies. Because that's already happened for issues the leftists care about more.

If you can afford an S20 you can probably afford an iPhone. Spend the money and buy your way out. Do have that conversation with your kid though and let him talk you into buying the phone. Don't make it seem like giving in to bullying or it will never stop. Next thing it will be "oh you got this fancy phone. Think you are rich, hahahha". Bullies are bullies and you need to teach your kid to talk back and stand up for yourself. You need to be militant about your kids welfare and blast the school authorities if these kids ever get physical.

> No way!

Pardon me, but what exactly are you disagreeing with?

> The only thing interesting about this sword is who made it.

Yes. It was made by Wētā Workshop. They are a very well known prop and special effects company. That alone increases the value of the item.

Further reducing the surprise that their work is valued higher than the loose manuscript is that they have already sold art pieces for hundreds of thousands of dollar.

“We are only aware of two other items created by Weta Workshop to have come to auction: Aragorn's sword Andúril from Lord of the Rings: The Return Of The King for $437,000, and Saruman's wizard staff from The Lord Of The Rings trilogy for $125,000, both at Bonhams in 2014.”

> And the person who made it is known as an author.

Don’t know who made it at Wētā. Perhaps they are indeed authors on their own. But the sword in question was not made by Neal Stephenson.

> Plenty of actually interesting swords cost less than $55k and some have real stories and history.

Ok? So what? I’m not arguing that $55k is a good price. What I am arguing that it is not surprising that an item carefully crafted by masters of their craft to look good and be desirable sells for more than loose scribled over pages.
No I know. I was being somewhat facetious.

As someone else mentioned, us Brits still use imperial measurements (to some extent) and I get by, just about!
There are niches in e-commerce based around specialized tools which require more permissions and user engagement than a basic store site. In some cases, such tools account for a significant portion of the total revenue. It's not surprising at all to me that Shopify would invest in this type of technology, and I would assume that other big players are doing the same.
People who say this are just short sighted.

Unless all jobs are unnecessary, you just change your job.

People seem to assume that if robots can code, all coders are out of a job, but I mean, if I didn't have to code, I'd just start all the businesses I've always wanted to start because like all the business people who are going to be replacing me with a bot, I too will have the time to replace business people with my bots.

Of course by this stage, if coders are replaced, pretty much all jobs will be replaced, millions, maybe billions of people will be jobless and without any ability to earn a wage, in other words, you won't be the only one with real problems when coders lose their jobs, it's just a matter of time till most jobs follow.

Not sure what we're hoping to get out of the AI future, but it seems like we're very intent on finding out at this point.

Maybe we're all just working towards making Ray Kurzeweil immortal at this stage?

My gut tells me though, we'll just be augmenting ourselves for a long time, and things will become faster paced.
Topic: Is eating shit a respectable profession?

Debater A
"Absolutely not, it is unsanitary, degrading, and potentially harmful to one's health."

Debater B
While I agree that it may be unsanitary, eating shit is a necessary job for some sanitation workers who clear the sewers and prevent public health hazards. It should be respected as any other important job.

Debater A
While I understand the necessity of sanitation workers in cleaning up sewage systems, I do not believe that eating feces is a necessary or respectable aspect of their job. There are other methods of sanitation that can be employed which do not involve this kind of activity.

Debater B
You make a valid point, but in some cases, such as in areas with limited resources and infrastructure, eating feces may be the most effective way to clean sewage systems. It may not be pleasant, but it is necessary for public health and should be respected as such.

Debater A
I see your point, but in those cases, efforts should be made to find and implement safer alternatives. Eating feces is simply too risky, and the health hazards associated with it outweigh any potential benefits.
>When we initially conceived of revising the OGL, it was with three major goals in mind. First, we wanted the ability to prevent the use of D&D content from being included in hateful and discriminatory products. Second, we wanted to address those attempting to use D&D in web3, blockchain games, and NFTs by making clear that OGL content is limited to tabletop roleplaying content like campaigns, modules, and supplements. And third, we wanted to ensure that the OGL is for the content creator, the homebrewer, the aspiring designer, our players, and the community—not major corporations to use for their own commercial and promotional purpose.

Why transfer? Writing emails usually opens another window (e.g. outlook, thunderbird etc.), so you have one window for reading and one for writing. Also makes it easier to cross-reference other emails or documents while writing your email.

3. Use photoshop for finalizations.

With more houses having parts far more efficiently assembled in a factory and erected on site, how does this compare?

Plumbing, windows, and electrics still have to be put in which will require the workers to be on site, along with tools and test equipment.

Just seems odd since they’re building pre-fab house factories to make things more efficient.
A lot of those things are not actively measured but are more experiential or used as an approximation. Height in feet is about how tall someone is, not their exact height. A mile to the pub is about how long it will take to walk, not the exact distance. Younger Brits will tend to use these terms in conversation but revert to metric more when something actually needs to be measured.

I will reiterate that if you had spent some time on StableDiffusion or MidJourney subreddit, lots of his images immediately look clearly AI generated.

Some are missing skin pores (some models are good at this now) the tiny details on the face are very very vague and blurry (see lines or pores) details blend into each other (try following some strands of hair, their origins are very vague). Eyes are usually bad with AI, this person has clearly copy pasted same eye in both eyes (exact same reflection in both).

There is a picture of old lady which is so bad (melted plastic face) that I don't know how anyone would take it for real. May be because I consciously look for details. To untrained eye (who don't know what SD or MJ is capable of) they may not look further.

So, to believe he's trying to hoodwink you into thinking it's just photography, when the completely obvious point is to create a discussion, you'd have to be lazy, not paying attention, or trying to sell me on a piece of ragebait. Or all of the above.

I maintain the cloud infrastructure at my company and I went the other way around: from laptop only to an 3 screens (laptop on a stand + two screens on the side at a 90 degree angle). When I need a browser window at the right resolution, I just drag it to my laptop screen.

The two vertical screens are configured a little different. Vertical screens are terrible for screensharing. For that reason I virtually split one of them in 2 parts (using xrandr). This gives me two square screens that are ideal for screen sharing.

So, virtually, I have 4 screens in 3 different sizes and have no issue assigning stuff to them. The vertical screen is always used for Emacs and different chat apps used for work (have a workspace with all chats stacked vertically, so I can keep tabs easily). One of the square screens is used for browsing, while the other is used for screen sharing (or general browsing/terminal when my screen is not shared). The laptop screen is often used as a scratch pad (short term stuff).

I know it might be a bit overblown, but it works well for me. I really like the fact that I can run multiple things and monitor their output, without interrupting my workflow.
Pelican was one of the options I had in mind too; will consider it more seriously thanks to your recommmendation!

You know, I was wondering about that myself. I guess one of the selling points of these frameworks/products is their ease of configuration, which might mean very minimal hacking required, if any. So it's entirely possible I may not get to learn very much Python this way. Thanks for sharing your experience!
