Skipping the exact amount of money in the sibling thread, Jim Davis allowed truly massive merchandising -- I didn't follow it, so I have to make it up rather than give exact examples, but something along the lines of Garfield toys, Garfield pajamas, Garfield kids slippers, inflatable Garfield etc. etc.

And that's why it was so much money, not from the strip itself. I'm pretty sure no one has ever made that kind of money just from a comic strip and reprints in books.

But it was pretty well known that Watterson was pressured to do similar merchandising and he steadfastly refused. He had a strong distaste for such things.

Just to be more precise about what Watterson was turning his back on. It's very sad for us as his audience that he ended his strip, but I can see his point about the merchandising.
Fish definitely has builtins, for example

- cd
- source, .
- eval
- string
- and
- or
- builtin
- command

and many others.

Not sure what the point of distinguishing between fish builtins and fish functions is; whether a builtin is shipped as a function distributed with fish or a reserved word in the fish evaluator seems like an implementation detail.
I think it is fascinating how employers have the gall to call themselves "job creators" and talk about their contribution to society through employment while this is so obviously happening.
But what about those who never applied? Are they supposed to be compensated and how?
If writers block is procrastination, that still doesn’t automatically help you get unblocked. Like if you’re stuck coding a feature, just forcing yourself to write code isn’t the answer, you need a set of strategies for getting unstuck, solving problems, and getting restarted afterwards
Good luck with that if what you’re looking for is in the middle of the command, though

“Quietly” is a way to imply wrongdoing in something purporting to be a news article. Which is funny because you can use “openly” the same way, and it seems to me that every action can be characterized as either quiet or open.

That’s why it’s bad faith. It’s a cheap shot that purely injects a negative feeling without actually expressing an opinion.

“Teamshares buys mom and pops to lock them in as customers” or “Teamshares screws small businesses to make a buck” would be honest, good faith headlines. Innuendo is never good faith.
I often use vanilla esbuild installed via NPM.

I feel like this build step would still work in 5 to 10 years:

- esbuild is compiled into a single binary for each target system so has minimal dependencies.

- NPM makes the version immutable, and will download the same binary version on ‘npm install’.

- I will use .tsx as my extension but use only pure JS, this gets me IDE suggestions without writing TS types, which works well for small projects.

Compared to webpack, esbuild seems unbreakable.
Sorry, I'm not a native English speaker. "disingenuous " was the wrong word in that context. I meant to use it as a synonym for "unfair" and made a mistake.

>In your post, are you claiming there's a shadowy group of people who at the same time are both unknowledgeable but also conspiring to hide their own knowledge?

No, that's nowhere near close to what I claimed. I think my post was clear on what I meant despite my mistake: that people are too quick to blame e-ink the company for malice without understanding the technical challenges around industrialization of such technology and the economic factors of the e-ink-like products market (profit margins, supply/demand) that drive competition and investments, or lack thereof, in this tech.
Things change over time. China and India have been having multiple talks over the last few years (after the Galwan incident) to resolve their border dispute. The ceasefire has lasted for decades now. Neither country wants war. Of course there will always be a dispute, but a long long term line of actual control will be determined and respected by both sides without giving up their respective claims.
The article describes the steps necessary to get the short and relevant answer: how much free space is there left on my physically attached disk devices? On Linux, the answer you're actually looking for is hidden among half a dozen tmpfs/devtmpfs/udevfs/whateverfs "synthetic filesystem" mounts; the situation is even more dire when you type "mount" which will list another couple dozen, with the relevant information (such as, which external media is mounted?) hidden in that noise.

The BSDs, rather than drowning the user in noise, and creating the problem that the article tries to address, provide just the relevant information.
All that means is that Chinese people, individually and on average, did not be come rich. China, as a country, did become rich.

The killer problem with e-ink is the pricing betrays that the yield absolutely tanks as the area increases, which is true of semiconductors and other display technologies, but in the case of e-ink seems to be that much worse.

Part of the success of things like GPUs is their ability to degrade gracefully in the presence of one or two errors which would otherwise render the whole thing unusable.

> "Diversity" at least in the political sense is a racist concept, you can't be "diverse" without explicitly considering someone's race.

The idea that anything that considers race is racist is either naive or foolish. We currently exist in a society that was built on white supremacy at its core. People of color are still actively being harmed by it, and white people are still benefiting from it to this day. To ignore that history and it's current and lasting effects is complacency in a racist system.

Consider this: if all were truly equal, companies of sufficient size would be diverse by default, being essentially a truly randomized subset of a diverse population. DEI initiatives would be a noop. Why is that not the case?

I got 10 acres, 10 miles from any town; how much space did you need?

Seriously; is port space a real challenge for drone operations? Seems to me if you're talking passenger transport then parking lots should suffice; material goods you need a depot building anyway and can use its roof. Smaller spy drones should probably be deploying from something like a step van.

I'm not really getting what you're wanting space for.
Russia is good at some things and bad at other things. The S-400 missiles use a SPARC-derived CPU designed by Elbrus but made by TSMC in Taiwan. Russia is world-beating in nuclear, they are the only people who build LWRs on an n-th of a kind (NOAK) basis and have a working fast reactor that is quite a beautiful machine with no drama. They will build a reactor in your country, supply fuel and then take it away.
Conspiracy theorists have entire ecosystems of boards and forums where they themselves discuss what they believe, and they often spread their beliefs openly. The premise that "the conspiracy theory world" is a black box is ridiculous.

I did read it, this was a counterpoint. The article is lying. A small minority had a bad time, they did nothing like a comprehensive counting of everyone who left.

Remember that a greater number of people who stayed would have died as miserable alcoholics. Women are still beaten by their husbands in small towns. Boredom leads to drugs.

Even in the US suicides are 50% higher per capita in rural vs urban areas.

If someone is happy in a rural area they should stay. But if they aren't and they get up the gumption to leave who are you to sit in judgement of how stupid they are?

It is better to move out of towns like this. Better != perfect.
Lots of apps and websites work great on eink, anything focused around text. Because it's android, I can use any reader software I like, including the Kindle app, but all text format are effectively s7pported. Browsing HN on it is a breeze, and chrome works much better than the Kindle built in browser. I would feel totally comfortable writing on it with a Bluetooth keyboard, or even writing and running code inside of Termux. Sudoku and crosswords are great.

The thing that nobody realizes until they actually spend some real time with eating is how much more comfortable it is to read with then a phone or iPad screen. It works in all lighting conditions, the battery life lasts for weeks. Good luck reading on your phone at the beach on a sunny day.

The things that it's not good at are non-text based games and videos, but that's not what it's for. I have a computer and phone for those things.

Anyone, including the author, can resolve a thread in gitlab.

Say I, as a senior engineer, scan a junior’s MR and see a serious security issue. In GH I can request changes, and then re-verify prior to merge that the issue has been fixed correctly. With GL, the author, thinking they fixed it, can resolve the comment and merge.

I'm unsure what specific behaviour you want from zsh and the up key, but it provides more than one up-line-*¹² function out of the box. Also, you can add any behaviour you wish with a custom zle function. That said, I understand some people prefer to just use something with the default settings.

I wonder what kind of interesting applications could be done on e-ink harnessing the advantages of the long battery life and not suffering by the slow refresh rate. Sure, porting doom or implementing a terminal is an interesting and probably challenging feat, but still it's applications that don't shine on an e-ink device.

Maybe some "slow" strategy game, that updates upon certain events but might remain unmodified for hours at a time?
Or - more in general - an application that is required to be on for a long time but really doesnt' change often.
There are some odd cases - e.g. a person who came back from a schooling programme from the US state department and was then arrested for supposed "incitement of ethnic tensions". Feels as if there might be a good bit left unsaid in cases like this.

However, the sheer number of cases is unsettling.

Just as well is, how little official information there seems to be. In lots of cases, people were either arrested by local police, but no charges are documented and no information on their whereabouts were given, or they straight up vanished. Once relatives do get information that there is a trial, there doesn't seem to be any way to get insight into the actual trial proceedings. I saw one case where authorities eventually stated that a person was "charged with crimes", pleaded guilty and are now serving their sentence, without even just specifying what kind of "crimes" the charges where about or without giving any reference to the trial or indicating what their sentence is or where they serve it.

I'm just exhausted by it. I've been writing front-end code since 2009 so I've been here from the early jQuery days, and I don't have the energy to keep rummaging through docs to figure out how this new special thing (next13/astro/alpine/blah/blah/blah) deviates from standard web technology.

I'd much rather conserve my limited energy for things that are inherent to the platform and actually exciting, like WASM or WebGPU.
This sounds more like a complaint about day-to-day work as a developer and less about technology in general. I can certainly relate, though.

I personally believe that one of the biggest lies about professional life is that of "working with your passion," because it creates unrealistic expectations. Plenty of people can be passionate about programming, but precious few will have the luxury of being passionate - over time - about working as software developers.
It seems the root comment here had confusion/difficulty not with “proper divisor”, but with “the sum of all the” proper divisors.

In any case, if your problem is that this page doesn't explain "proper divisor", then note that the phrase "proper divisor" in the first sentence is a link that goes to the relevant section of the [[divisor]] article, which has lots of examples.

If the complaint behind “Math wiki pages are so bad” is simply that not every page explains everything from scratch but relies on the reader having to follow links, then this is an inherent property of a random-access reference work like an encyclopedia (rather than a careful linear presentation like a textbook), and the fact that mathematics is a subject with quite some depth (where understanding a topic requires understanding several others first).

This is not unique to mathematics articles, e.g. if you go to the Wikipedia article on "init", it says:

> In Unix-based computer operating systems, init (short for initialization) is the first process started during booting of the operating system.

where "Unix", "operating system", "process" and "booting" are wiki links: you need to follow the links if necessary and understand them first, as this page won't start by explaining what a computer is, what operating systems are, etc. This is true for basically all topics: clicking on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random a few times, I find:

> Ustilaginoidea is a [[genus]] of [[fungi]] in the family [[Clavicipitaceae]].

where you need to understand "genus" and "fungi" first, or

> Masaumi Shimizu is a Japanese former professional baseball Catcher,and current the fourth squad battery coach for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).

where "catcher", "battery" etc are links that need to be followed (this page won't start from first principles and explain sport, baseball, catcher, etc).

I think it may be instructive to compare Wikipedia math pages to something professionally published and edited like, say, The Princeton Companion to Mathematics. I just did that for a few random topics, and Wikipedia was in some cases easier to read and in some cases harder: it was not consistently better or worse. But doing this for more pages may be instructive — or simply pick some random math pages and show how they can be improved, while still remembering that in an encyclopedia much of the information necessary to understand a certain page will inevitably be at other pages.

Plenty of IT jobs out there that have job security to last your entire career and don't shift to the new shiny every few years. Utilities are a good example. Lots of older tech and some newer stuff, but nothing experimental.

Ex: Maintain some SQL queries, upgrade to a new database version without bricking everything, write some scripts that get fired off at a scheduled time, knowledge of the industry you're serving, update some configuration files for the company website which won't change for another decade, read some log files, create some visualization displays for operations staff, install software on certain machines, manage the company's VPN stuff, configure Linux, do the paperwork...etc

All this stuff is more generic IT and less rockstar developer. It reliably pays the bills and isn't very flashy.

There are plenty of people in IT that write code every day, some that rarely write code, and some that basically never write code, but just manage the business side of it all (there is a lot of beauracracy in large organizations).

Got Ideas That Address Global Challenges Pitch Ideas here
My praise is far from blind; OpenBSD lacks a modern filesystem, FreeBSD still uses /usr/local/etc for some configuration, and all of them suffer to a various degree from simply not being x86 Linux with glibc and systemd. What you do get in return though is some sanity. When I type "df -h", what I mean is: "show me the remaining free space on the internal disks and attached media". It's not a big ask for that information to not be littered with half a dozen lines of useless noise?
There's a couple things to address in your comment but I will only address the most egregious as it will take a couple paragraphs:

Comparing economic growth to cancer is extremely incorrect. Cancer grows unchecked causing pain and then death due to a failure of the body's regulatory system. Economic growth happens broadly because your population is growing and you are keeping up production per unit of labor and/or because you develop technology/business improvement that increases production per unit of labor. The latter causes abundance and better life for everyone (even when an outsized portion of the benefit is captured by the creator of the benefit) and the former keeps the standard of living possible for everyone and are very good things. If you want to talk cancer in economic terms that would be market power abuse, not growth. Market power abuse comes in the form of monopoly/oligopoly and the pricing power that situation allows and almost always slows growth (as the monopolist/oligopolist raises prices and decrease production to maximize profits).

In the context of a functioning regulatory system growth is extremely good. Right now governments fail at regulating by regulating both too much (try getting a new drug through the FDA for example) or too little (why hasn't microsoft, google, amazon, facebook, etc. all been broken up by antitrust regulation???). It is correct to lay blame on the regulator and incorrect to lay blame on growth.
I'd probably choose a much more compute/graphics focused SoC for a games console, like almost any smartphone SoC or even an APU.

These STM32MP parts are designed for devices with realtime needs and real-world interface requirement, because they combine Application Processors that run Linux (albeit not quite as fast as a cutting-edge phone SoC) with a Cortex-M core made for realtime application use, as well as interface peripherals like CAN. Basically these are supposed to be a bridge between the "embedded" world and the "Linux" world.
Edit: writing in a hurry, have to read the link more carefully.

Ok, so the case is a pretty decent edge case. However, I wrote "deliberately going against science", which I don't see happening here. Here, people did more science disagreeing with other science (if you can call it that). In this case the first "research" seems to have an agenda and should indeed warrant criticism. And the criticism is good with data to back it up.

The same does not happen with climate denialists for example - just plain old misinformation with an agenda. They are free to publish papers, yet don't seem to be able to, at least with convincing results.
