Given the rise of AI, I think "enchiridion" might be a good one to start using, based on Stephenson's Diamond Age.

> From Ancient Greek ἐγχειρίδιον (enkheirídion), from ἐν (en, “in”) + χείρ (kheír, “hand”) + a neuter suffix.

And given how news, media, entertainment and politics always gravitates towards the least common denominator of knowledge and education forcing the rest of us to deal with both demagogues and TV shows about wealthy housewives, "ochlocracy" (mob rule) is another that needs a revival.

> From Middle French ochlocratie, from Ancient Greek ὀχλοκρατία (okhlokratía), from ὄχλος (ókhlos, “multitude, crowd”) + κράτος (krátos, “power”).
I get the point but as a counterpoint, why wouldn't they be?
Hm. I don't, and now I'm curious why. My login never asks me to 2FA on my regular devices.
These are great suggestions. Adding these words to your own internal vocabulary is totally worth it for self-reflection.

Less seriously, a grammatical construction I wish we had in English is the Latin future passive participle, typically ending in -ndus, -nda, -ndum. It means that something needs/ought to be done.

For instance "Amanda" is "she who must be loved."

So if someone asks you why your feature isn't in production yet, you can say the pull request is reviewandum.

Or you can tell the kids that the trash is emptianda, or the dog is walkandus.

These are kind of lame examples, but once you get the idea you can find places where it'd be convenient several times a day.
I'm glad that it works well for you. Many of us have the opposite experience, though, which is why having choice is important.
Inspired by this thread, I just reread it. There's a reproduction with the original woodblock print images, which was useful because I didn't have that when I read this story as a teenager.

I'm on Fedora which is pretty up to date and I just have random issues all the time. Currently I can't get xbox controllers to pair. It works on windows, it worked on fedora when I tried a few months ago, absolutely can't get it working now. When I switch audio outputs, they don't work until I kill pipewire a random number of times and then they work.

And these are just the random breakages, not the missing features like fractional scaling and HDR. Obviously these problems don't affect everyone, but they affect me and despite a decade of linux experience, I can't find solutions.
Hey there fellow RO hacker!

I'd like to plug https://www.freshwatersystems.com/.

I built a system that does around 150 gallons a day from undersink parts, some filters, pumps, an IBC tote tank I got at the feed store and a softener. Excluding the softer total cost was under $500. It's for my garden and the animals.
They generate questions like:

where did you go this morning?
When did you woke up this morning.
What did you do after breakfast?
What did you do today at Golden Gate Park.

GPT is all about probabilities. So the LLM know what might be most related answer of a doc chunk.

It works much better than embedding the whole sentence because "When did you woke up this morning" might not be very similar with "Today I woke up at 9.am, had a light breakfast and then went on a run in Golden Gate Park.".
Some of those indeed have alternatives already, but okay it seems you're already aware of them.

Debian shows me this:

apt depends xwayland

Depends: xserver-common

xserver-common is part of Xorg.

But it mostly pulls some extra dependencies like x11-common and xkb-data and etc. So may be it can be split out.
It's been three years for me. Last time it was in Freenode, but there was some drama more recently and if I'm not mistaken, people migrated to a new net called libera.chat.

Chanels, depending on what you're looking for, but there used to be a lot of them, just look number of users.
The wayland devs ARE the Xorg devs. They all decided that Xorg wasn't worth maintaining because it has too much legacy baggage[0]. The rest is just a bunch of entitled whining users that dont like change.

That's one of my biggest problems with Wayland; I rather like being able to swap out the window manager without breaking half my tools.
> So maybe the examples should move towards how society deals with parasites who lack critical social features like empathy, morality, honesty. And if studies are correct, it seems we let them rise to the top.

Some of them, at least. Society has some defenses that shunts most of such cases to mental facilities, prisons, or just plain obscurity. The ones able to avoid those defenses, however, achieve tremendous success at the cost of everyone else.

So just like with parasites in the animal world.

But if we're walking up and down the ladder of abstraction, what about higher-level parasites? I'd call the advertising industry a successful one.
I think it also uses ligatures to render words from the "phrasebook", where you can take a word like "friend" and change the font from Times to this font, and it renders it as 朋友. Beautiful.
> cp -r foo/* bar

Ah, you fell into a trap already! Using foo/* like that is generally "weird", since you let the shell expand. It will, for example, miss files that start with a dot ("."). But not necessarily, it depends on what the shell does!

As for the "trailing /" syntax, I know what you mean, but once you've internalized it, it's easy.

Without trailing slash: Copy the directory (and its contents). With trailing slash: Copy what's in the directory. This makes sense, because with the / you say you want to go "into the directory" and copy then.

And the latter includes files starting with . and all of that, you don't have to worry about it, or about what the shell would do, it's all the directory contents.

So what you want for your example is:

rsync -a foo/ bar

rsync -r foo/* bar would do the same (wrong) thing as cp -r foo/* bar, for the same reasons, the syntax is the same in that regard.
The Guitar Player Repair Guide by Erlewine is pretty good and goes over a great deal of information, probably would cover most if not all of your needs and will cover most of the information required to fix your mistakes when you make them. I generally recommend avoiding the internet since it tends to provide a multitude of solutions for any given task which is not great if you don't already have the knowledge required to pick the best solution or ask a question in a way which will provide the ideal solution.

Best thing you can do is just get a few cheap beatup guitars and have fun with them, make mistakes and make those cheap guitars into something more than cheap guitars.

Regarding that sitar work in thread link, it is not that bad and probably a common way to work on sitars since they lack holes and the soundboards are often heavily ornamented which makes removal risky. What makes me cringe about it is that in his case it was not needed, he could have easily done all that work through the hole he made for the jack plate and I would say he did not think through the project and just went at it, which is not a bad thing and he did accomplish his goal. But those of us who primarily work on western instruments are used to working through sound holes and f-holes and pickup mounting holes, it is second nature to us just as sawing off the back of a sitar is probably second nature to those who work on sitars.
I'm not sure, but I believe that most, if not all, mergers from simplification were homophones.
A few thoughts:

- The Wi-Fi and breakfast situation is the opposite of what you describe for clear market reasons. People who go to four star hotels aren’t interested in trash continental breakfast and would rather pay for something good, and Wi-Fi costs money because business people expense it. In contrast, breakfast is included at lower tier hotels because price conscious customers shop on value.

- Flight search engines already detail important flight details like basic economy restrictions and other factors.

- People need to grow up about meals on flights. This isn’t 1960 when flights were essentially all business and first class fares adjusted for inflation. You want food on your flight? Bring/buy some and take it on the plane with you. Bring an empty water bottle through TSA and fill it at the water fountain.

> can't quickly fact-check the answer

If you would like to, visit https://tryapl.org/ and enter:

⎕IO ← 0
bools ← 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
{⍸(⊃⍵)@0⊣¯1⌽0 1⍷⍵} bools

The website will only(I think) let you copy-paste line by line, or it has the symbols in a bar along the top you can click on to enter them, and it has a backtick prefix system for typing them, so `L will enter the quad square on the first line and `[ enters the left arrow. Left arrow is variable assignment and the variable with a quad is a system one. The top line sets array indices count from zero instead of the default indexing from one. The curly braces {} make the code into a scriptblock/anonymous function which is immediately executed on the argument "bools".

If you want to see it building up stage by stage it works from the right, these give the intermediate steps:

{0 1⍷⍵} bools

{¯1⌽0 1⍷⍵} bools

{(⊃⍵)@0⊣¯1⌽0 1⍷⍵} bools

{⍸(⊃⍵)@0⊣¯1⌽0 1⍷⍵} bools

> "Regardless of whether its breakdown is right or wrong, my true intended commentary is about the opacity of the syntax and the difficulty in reading it (which I elaborated on via an edit, after your comment was posted but before seeing it)."

Which is a bit of a shame because the point of the article is at the end: "I do not believe that you can leverage this kind of suggestivity with languages that are more verbose. [...] It is fundamentally easier to try out many single line expressions than it is to try out many 15 - 30 line expressions. [...] in the same way that any technique that reduces the length of the feedback cycle improves our ability to iterate and therefore learn.".

It's not saying that APL is easy to read, it's claiming that learning to read it/think in it has benefits that don't apply to longer languages - more forest less trees, more design less bricklaying. Taking that away into "I never learned it and it looks hard" is not going with the more interesting part of the claim - like, would you rewrite your Rust code to detect the end of groups, then compare both versions and see they are annoyingly clunky, then search for a version which is more pleasing and suggests variations which may do other useful or interesting things with the groups? Even if you did, doing so may be harder because the Rust code is so much longer (more effort to compare in your head) and you would be less able to because the Rust code took more time to write so you have less time left over.

[This is rather more for the world of doing a mathematical puzzle, seeing two equations look similar and realising that the puzzles share some common underlying thing which you hadn't noticed before, than the world of writing production webservers with fearless concurrency].

20 seconds a month is about normal for a quartz watch.

Quartz is (generally) accurate to about 0.5 seconds a day. (It varies, mostly by temperature.) Compare to a good quality mechanical watch, which is accurate to about 3-5 seconds a day. Cheaper mechanical watches, considerably less.

Casio "wave ceptor" watches receive the time signal every night, and so don't drift. Some other more expensive watches sync with the GPS signal, or with bluetooth to your phone.

If you demand accuracy without a regular sync, so called "high accuracy quartz" watches do exist, which can be accurate to about 15-30 seconds per year. The Bulova "Precisionist" line of watches are good examples of these.
> It really is a shame that the community's last, best hope against a Red Hat monopoly is Ubuntu.

Oh, strongly agree. It's a "whoever wins, we lose" sort of situation for sure. I think Red Hat's technical... taste, if you will, is consistently terrible, but Ubuntu's gross in its own way, though I feel that way more due to perceived company culture and the owner's statements, admittedly, than their results (though I do think their distro peaked quality-wise some time around '08).

> There will likely always be a distro out there that does exactly what you want it to, it'll likely always be Gentoo, and there will probably be enough folks interested in the space to bring those solutions to binary distros as well.

Hobbyists are kinda safe, to some degree, but the more incompatible choices RH successfully pushes, the more limitations and workarounds hobbyists not running a straight copy of Red Hat's preferred stack will run into.
I'm a big Barrier user, which has no Wayland equivalent. I also frequently make use of X tunelling over SSH, which had no Wayland equivalent the last time I checked, although it has been a year or so since the last time I looked into it.
I am positive on wayland, but am still missing some things I love with Xorg.

For example, I still use pidgin for all my messaging (even with Slack and our own custom protocol). In xorg, I can set my pidgin buddy list as a Utility Window, make it sticky, below all windows by default, and skip the taskbar. This makes the buddy list not show up in my alt-tab or as a running application (doesn't show up in the gnome-shell overview). Then I have a simple script using wnck to raise/lower the window using a hotkey, which gives me really quick access to my buddy list and chats.

_Some_ of this is possible in wayland, but not everything.

I also haven't found a replacement for devilspie for wayland, which I use to set a bunch of default properties on various applications, like size, virtual desktop number, stickyness, and so on.

Both of these things are really essential to my daily flow and are going to be hard to give up.

What is destroying musicians is not copywright, but the oligarchy of distribution and lack of artist representation. For food for thought, look up what Ed makes on Spotify per play, vs what the average person would, and how much of that goes to the labels and distributors.
Well yeah. Emergent behavior was analyzed with a pretty tight technical definition.

Put 5000 AI’s in a soccer stadium and I expect that they’d act like 5000 of us. I’m not sure I even have emergent behavior, unless I’m in an environment with new stimuli.

Does that just mean I do surprising things? I mean, people in soccer/football riots don’t seem to have the best memory or attention either, nor be brains in jars.

> universal cultural norm for younger generations to take care of older family members when they need it,

OP is talking about how the normalization of euthanasia could find snoballing support derived from all sorts of social and economic pressures on the younger generations to reduce the cost burden of the older ones. With the result that once some tipping point has been reached this option becomes an expectation and the cultural norm has changed.

> at least until very recently.

this acknowledgement rather supports his point, long held cultural norms are far more brittle than we think they are. And the old and weak have no economic muscle to defend themselves against this change.

The time line is a little more compressed. I'm somewhat sympathetic. But my heavens, that using the language's official module system is a pain & difficult makes me think we needed to switch harder earlier.

Yes, my ketamine doctor actually suggested this last year and prescribed me rapamycin as a booster with ketamine infusion sessions, citing this study referenced. He's done this for some patients who don't get infusions frequently, to try and stretch the positive effects longer.

It had a bit strange effects the first time I took the rapa, you dose it about 2 hours before ketamine infusion session. It actually attenuated the psychedelic effects of ketamine quite dramatically, which is interesting because the study predicted the rapamycin to strongly counteract certain effects of ketamine action, but the physical ketamine effects were still present for me. I did have the same positive mood boost starting later that day that I was used to with the infusions, I don't think the rapamycin hurt that effect and I was left with a good effect for some time afterwards.

What I was left wondering is, is the rapamycin actually amplifying the ketamine mood boost, or does it simply have a separate antidepressant effect that you can layer on by co-administering it? I took the rapamycin a couple times outside of session, and it did seem to give me an antidepressant effect for a few days as far as I can tell, of course not in a controlled study environment. But internally, I concluded that ketamine and rapamycin both have antidepressant effects that can both be used to positive effect, together or separately.
So if we take Bolivia as an upper bound, we can assume that approximately 0.7% of the population would die to coronavirus in the absence of restrictions and with a fairly poor healthcare system. (Of course there will still be some level of individual change, e.g. those at risk are definitely not going to be going about as usual - they're still not in many places).

My feeling then is that if we have a course of action that could have completely eliminated that 0.7%, e.g. it would result in zero covid or a perfect vaccine by the end of the course of action, assuming that it significantly curtails normal life (e.g. lockdown, no socialising, forced remote learning for schools, forced home working etc) we should spend approximately 0.7% of the average human lifespan doing it.

So, a lockdown of 6-7 months could be justified to completely eliminate the virus. It was fairly quickly obvious that eliminating the virus was not possible, so we clearly shouldn't go for that long, but that's our starting point.

The UK suffered approx 0.3% mortality that's about 0.4% better than Bolivia.

The UK spent 24 months in various states of restrictions, and perhaps 12 months in fairly severe lockdowns to the extent that normal socialization (for example, going to a group or class to meet new people) was legally prohibited.

Depending on how you define it, we spent 1.25-2.5% of the average lifespan in lockdowns for the sake of avoiding the deaths of 0.4% of the population.

That's a horrendous trade off.
Gemini threw the baby out with the bath water by disallowing in-line images and styles. It's not like GeoCities because there's very little if any ability to express yourself artistically with the medium. Half of the "Geocities" pages people harken back to were themselves artistic content.

None of that is really possible with Gemini.
