You can define shortcuts for that:

nth=1; wmctrl -i -a $( wmctrl -l | awk '$2 == "0" { print $1 }' | sed -n "${nth}p" )

I guess you would need 9 shortcuts and you would set nth to the number associated with that shortcut. Works for me at least. You might have to define the shortcut to "bash -c " followed by the above oneliner with some appropriate quoting and escaping of inner quotes.

I agree with most of your sentiment. I also came to associate the proponents of these system with a a set of other traits:

- busywork
- insistence with their approach being the only right one

The prices of synthetic stones have been eroding rapidly [1] as more makers come online. I'm aware of two factories ex-USA, one with ~700 CVD systems, the other with ~900 systems. Each system yields raw material for ~25 1+ct finished gems every two weeks. These two facilities alone can produce about 1.6 million 1ct finished stones/year.

In the 1-2ct range, naturals can't compete anymore on price. In the 3+ct range, Asian markets are still very strong for naturals. I think that will persist, as natural diamond reserves are in decline [2] and the cachet of natural vs. synthetic is particularly strong in some cultures.

Also, if you pay the cost of making the hydrogen, you can use it not only for transmission, but also for storage at both ends of the pipeline. This allows the pipeline to be operated at constant high load, allows smoothing of the production fluctuations, and smooths demand fluctuations too. Multiple bites from one apple.

The cost of a hydrogen pipeline is only slightly larger than that of a methane pipeline of the same BTU capacity, even though the energy value of a hydrogen molecule is considerably less than a methane molecule. That's because hydrogen has considerably lower viscosity, which reduces pumping costs.
I realized, after talking to a bunch of people about this, that people outside of Hacker News just don’t care about privacy. It’s unbelievably sad to me. I don’t see any solution in sight without regulation, and that simply isn’t even being discussed in the US (based on a cursory scan of active bills being considered)
Tails is one of those tools I always keep on me physically. Added it to my key ring 6 years ago , and I get use out of it at least twice a month. Also started using it as a recovery ISO.

Here’s your daily reminder that desalination can provide as much water as we need. Nuclear power + desalination would solve all our water AND energy problems in a carbon-free way.

Israel gets over 55% of their water from desalination.

Water problems are simply a political\planning failure. There is no real shortage of water.

The west coast has a water problem, the tools to solve it, and complete one-party control of politics to make it happen. They are choosing not to though.

You Utah folks obviously don’t have an ocean sitting next to you, but perhaps if the west coast used less of the Colorado river there would be more for you.
Ten years ago digital privacy advocates had a tough job. The fact that they still do today, is one of the most glaring governance failures of recent times.

Governments just can't seem to get their act together on this. Its pointless to revisit the spectrum of reasons ranging from incompetency to complicity. If you want a populist framing this is like knowingly lowering the gates of the castle and letting expert pickpockets rush in and have a field day with the unsuspecting citizens.

Maybe stressing that this inaction undermines the future of the digital economy and society would fly better with the political class. Digitization is our bright "future", no?

Economic actors will act according to the signals they get from government and its institutions as to what is allowed. If those signals are non-existing or mixed they will invest in the "wrong" direction.

Underappreciated point! What makes jewelery a good store of value? Value:volume ratio.

Three trucks full of wet concrete have value too, but they're a helluva lot less convenient to bring with you in a bag on the run.

Jewelry is (a) small, (b) valuable, (c) widely exchangeable for currency or goods.

Sure, you're going to take a haircut on the price, depending on how screwed up your immediate environment is, but there will be some buyers at some non-zero price.

The problem there is that alcohol is relatively high-volume, I mean a barrel of pure ethanol is still a barrel of pure ethanol. By contrast fentanyl for example can be effectively shipped, in commercial quantities, in the back of a sedan or human-portable luggage.

Stopping binge drinking meant reducing the amount of available alcohol, a substance requiring large scale shipping and production, storage and so on. Modern drugs really don't have that problem, and for the ones that do, synthetic alternatives would just take over.
> can the RAG pattern be useful here?

From your questions it looks like you are only interesting in the R part. RAG implies the retrieval step is then used to augment a user prompt.

To answer 1, a good heuristic would be "can a human reasonably familiar with the terminology answer questions about the meaning?" If a human would need extra info to make sense of your data then so would an LLM.

This is where RAG typically comes in. For example if you had documentation about ClassName and FunctionName, a retrieval model might be able to find the most likely candidates based on a file containing full definitions of these classes and function, then pass that info into the LLM appended to your query.

For 2: It depends if the fire house is the query or the data. If you have queries coming in very quickly, then you might be able to if your firehose doesn't have too much volume since you can batch requests and get responses fairly quickly.

If the fire hose is the data going into the vector DB then you might have some difficultly inserting and indexing the data fast enough.
For that matter no one's respect really means much however you look at this particular excerpt, not sure what you trying to say with this line of argument
It is easier to build automation on top of a simpler/manual/secure process, than it is to make a fully automated system secure.

I am not saying that automation shouldn't be possible at all, but that platforms shouldn't be designed this way.

If users had to consent to contact access, socket connection, and every single packet sent (obviously they would need to become readable to layman) there would be way less demand for data privacy laws.
> Your distancing yourself from your former employer's practices is appreciated but Google monopolizing click and all other web usage data isn't any better than keeping those for themselves from an antitrust PoV (as opposed to selling the data under FRAND terms).

I’m comparing practices from the perspective of privacy, not antitrust, since that is the frame in which we were discussing, and with which the original submitted NOYB article was concerned.

I don’t like monopoly power in the advertising industry any more than you do, and Google is not an exception to that. But I don’t want the fix to any Google advertising monopoly to be forcing them to share user data on FRAND terms. Not only would that likely violate privacy law in Europe and elsewhere in the world, it would reduce my data’s privacy protections to what results from the worst privacy practices among anyone who buys the data from Google. Yes, that’s far worse than what Google currently does.

> There's no way around taking Chrome development and monopoly influence on web standardization away from Google as one outcome of ongoing antitrust lawsuits.

If authorities like those in Europe or the US decide that antitrust violations by Google warrant those remedies, I have no personal objection. But I would object to any anti-monopoly measures that effectively destroy the privacy of the profile Google has built on me, such as mandatory FRAND licensing of that data. At least I can delete the data when it’s just the one data custodian, and one which properly implements and tests data deletion process more than many companies.

You are completely wrong about how agricultural water usage works.

The water doesn't physically go into the final shipped alfalfa in meaningful quantities. 99.9% of the water that is used in growing alfalfa evaporates, or ends up in the ground, and it doesn't matter whether the remaining 0.1% that actually ends up, and stays inside the plant gets exported to Mars, or consumed locally.

When growing alfalfa, 100 tonnes of water is used to produce ~300lb of biomass. When you're sourcing those 100 tonnes unsustainably, it really doesn't matter whether you export the 300lb, or not.

You're blaming a foreign boogieman for a domestic, self-inflicted problem.
I mean surely the product is dried before shipping. /s

It's still a problem, but we need to keep in mind that maybe we shouldn't be farming so much animal feed in general. We'd still lose this water if we kept the feed local.
Not to mention every time they scan your license it goes on a list. XKCD made light of this very fact.

Didn't we Americans entrust Volkswagen to build out some of our charging network through Electrify America (owned by Volkswagen?

I think this is a case of funding the companies of these charging stations that work and function well, Tesla being one of them.

You can try to draw a connection to Americans wanting Europe to be a 51st state. (wut??) but I think thats a little bit of a stretch, Tesla's will have to compete with the chinese electric cars and european grown electric cars in the market. At least they built a plant in Germany rather than try to meet demand by importing cars which would've been madness.

I'm certain europe will get economically defensive once their auto industries start to suffer more, its a huge economic bloc.
Two things:
(1) Price signals have to be further clarified especially at a utility level for ancillary services
(2) Battery system prices have been dropping quickly mainly as a function of Chinese manufacturers building out quickly e.g. CATL. Tesla is also helping.

Competition is already there - its next how do you deploy your development costs for winning those assets.
> I don't know why Wayland gets so much hate. To me it feels very much like the systemd hate: I don't know why this needs to change; I was happy after all. I don't want to learn about a new thing, so I'm angry.

Yes, it's a very similar situation; in both cases people are really fond of pretending that the only reason you could possibly object is that you hate change just because, while ignoring the actual regressions that it's causing. For instance, Wayland does not support (and probably never will support) some accessibility tools that make my life much easier (because the desktop must be secured against programmatic manipulation).
You don't think unions negotiate work terms such as wages, working hours, conditions, etc.?

What are some of the reasons you think a labor union would form in the first place?

Have you ever heard of mandatory break requirements in certain industries? Think those ideas came from business owners?

"The National Labor Union was founded on August 20, 1866, in Baltimore, Maryland. It was the first attempt to create a national labor group in the United States and one of their first actions was the first national call for Congress to mandate an 8-hour work day."

A lot of this is the fault of the politicians and public education.

Both are largely influenced by one overwhelming organization with nearly infinite money. If you live in Utah you know who i'm talking about.

They don't care about the environment and they aren't overly concerned with public health. Yet most politicians in Utah will only get and stay in power with their blessing and approval. Thats why Utah has had the same senator for 42 years.

We need the utah public to wake up and vote with some intelligence to get people in power who want to and can actually make change and care about these things.

I lived in Utah for almost 2 decades (as an adult). I moved out 5 years ago and it was the absolute best decision I ever made.

it's a bit of a disingenuous example because it ignores the existence of table.remove, which removes an index and reshuffles the indices to maintain the array.

you can also swap and pop using the magic of multi assignment to preserve index order if you don't care about maintaining value order:

a[1], a[#a] = a[#a], nil

If you do care about value order there's table.sort

Just because you don't like the raw behavior doesn't mean it's incorrect. You can make the same argument about other languages in a practical use case

I'm a PHP dev and I would never rely on setting an array index to null or calling unset() on a collection if I'm deleting an element. Both lead to bugs. In the former case, null is treated as a set value so the count is inaccurate. In the latter case, the count is correct but the indices aren't continuous any more. JS has the same behavior with null and delete. Both PHP and JS have functions for manipulating arrays just as lua does.

Those are VERY cool and VERY powerful!

As for me, I waited until I was sure I wouldn't kill myself to buy a motorcycle, which for me meant "last year, at age 52." Sure, I still gotta worry about everyone else, but that's a risk I've been taking on a bicycle for years already.

Mine is a Royal-Enfield Classic 350, which is perfect for 85% of what I'd want to do -- errands in town, etc -- but is obviously limited to surface streets and slower back roads. It tops out at 70, notionally, but it's not super happy above 55(mph).

We'd dropped to one car during the pandemic, because my wife has traditionally taken the bus to work. I'd have the car during the day for the odd daytime errand. Then she got a better job that required driving to work, and we really really didn't want to buy another car - and I had always wanted a motorcycle... She wasn't super excited, but the price tag helped a lot ($4800US).

It's lovely, and I get comments on it constantly, but after a year I'm definitely starting to think about Next Bike. Top contender is a Bonneville T120.

In the case of TMSU, you have a shell / command-line tool, so that anything which generates a listing of files can be fed in to assign additional tags.

That might be based on find, grep, other pattern-matching tools, tmsu itself, or manually curating a file or files of content you want to modify.

One of the reasons I strongly prefer CLI tools in general is that they make precisely this sort of bulk action so viable. I've modified anywhere from tens to hundreds of thousands of items with a small set of commands, and in most cases many millions or more should be reasonably doable.
Those packages are separate because the system is modular. I assure you, it's more difficult for the team to do it like this, and in many ways it's a welcome feature. The package number might seem insane, but compare the aggregate size of them vs other DEs. It's still not a fair comparison, but it's arguably better than the number of packages.

Either way, many package managers provide groups or patterns to make it easier for an end user to maintain their system. Pacman does have such a feature.

Look, for example, do you prefer to be able to install SDDM just because you like the themeing capabilities, and be able to do so, with just the bare minimum packages; or, install GDM and having to pull the whole GNOME DE as a requirement?

Author here. I've been working on this for the past ~12 months, lately full-time.

I wasn't happy with the current state of web development, so I decided to write a completely new ecosystem [1] from scratch. I went back to the "good old days", and took advantage of innovations like progressive enhancement, separation of concerns, and semantic web design. The result is a powerful alternative to frameworks like Vue, React, and Svelte as well as toolchains like Vite, Next.js, and Astro.

Nue ecosystem is work-in-progress and today I'm releasing the tiny, but powerful core: Nue JS. It's an extremely small (2.3kb minzipped) JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It's like React or Vue, but there are no hooks, effects, props, or other unusual abstractions on your way. Know the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and you can build server-side components and reactive interfaces with ease.

All projects will be released under the MIT license.

Happy to answer any questions.
