> Is it correct to say that a shell runs inside the terminal?

Nope. We use the word "terminal" nowadays to refer to a piece of software that is a terminal emulator. But the thing being emulated is what used to be called a "dumb terminal", which was a piece of hardware that couldn't itself run user software.

"Shell" is the odd man out among these terms; a shell is always a piece of software.

A terminal isn't necessarily a text device. I remember graphics terminals by Tektronix and Apollo. I never saw a blit terminal, but those things existed too.

On SystemV, the console was simply the privileged terminal. My memory is poor, but I seem to recall that (a) there could only be one console, which had to be connected to a specific port; (b) you could only become root if you were on the console.

On some early computers, I believe the term "console" referred to the panel of lights and toggle-switches on the case of the processor. The switches could be used to control memory contents and processor state; so OG wizards were said to be able to e.g. "toggle in the bootloader from the console".
I have an inside story about the Dreamliner. I know a person that was part of buying a few for an airliner. To my understanding there were 2 factories that made them, Seattle and somewhere in the South. There was a huge difference between the quality of the two. Everyone buying tried to get a plane that was made in Seattle and not in the South (can't remember exactly where it was).
Fret not, Python just a fringe programming language for more than two decades, it only then become popular. If you have the right fundamentals success will eventually come your way.
Making general statements is the starting point for policy principles.nThe application is nuanced. Defining simple nudity, I would say, is of low importance. i would be looking at types of harm using case data.

Spending time defining only the non problem parts is a luxury. Theres pages of que to clean and no one to do it. I need a definition, plus examples and tests that a team can actually use daily.

Furthermore - unsolicited sexual imagery IS traumatic to a swathe of people (survivors of abuse) and illegal in many cultures.

That moderators get affected seeing such content should not be a surprise. The very least that happens to mods is desensitization. Paranoia, PTSD, high risk behaviors are common fates if you work in tough ques.
I imagine you’d have to prove you are the subject in question.
From my experience looking at some free chapters on multiple sites, the don't serve any high resolution images for chapters either. Though I haven't checked any SFW manhwas sites for this so. And most piracy sites just compress them with jpeg or webp, they don't usually touch the resolution of the images.

Do you have a citation for that? It is undergrad level maths and I struggle to believe the technique is news to the AI people. The mathematicians would have known about it in theory for centuries.
Well they didn't mention 24000 teu.

Or are you saying they wouldn't be limited by panamax, so could theoretically lower costs on the shipping portion?
I'd be doing it if I wanted to keep my job? It's a short flight from Austin back to San.
That would be an absolute disaster for the environment if you would do that. Also pumping up that much water would require an absolutely enormous amount of energy, and dozens of pumping stations.
What on earth is your reasoning for saying this? I really dislike the habit of stating something absolutely ludicrous and running away with it.
>> What kind of solution would you propose to folks like your boss?

How do you want to play this boss? I can see you’re focussing more on the bigger picture and the code is just a means to an end, given that, how about you delegate technical leadership on the codebase to me to let you focus on the product & commercial aspects?

If no - maybe words come back to the effect of “it’s my pet/child, how very dare you” yadda yadda - then I can’t see a happy path beyond “thanks for the opportunity, all the best for the future” but there’s certainly room for many mediocre outcomes short of parting ways if that’s preferred.

If yes - “hey, we don’t have infinite money and we prob can’t afford to hire the help to do this to a gold standard so how about we agree these commercial milestones (once change delivery falls below X days on average, or once feature Y that you always wanted lands in prod, or once the defect rate drops below Z per week etc etc) - I get bonus $$$”
As Newton said, "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants".
> The problem isn't having a GC, is its poor implementation.

OTOH Java and .Net exist and have large investment (D is younger than C#), so for people who are fine with GC, there are already plenty of "C++ alternatives". What's left is people who can't or won't use a GC, and for them a GC'd language can not be an alternative.
Worth noting this page also includes which Nitter instances support RSS.

I've replaced 99 percent of my Twitter use with RSS now and oh my is it a more pleasant experience.
That's my issue with it, really - I think it was widely presented and received as having "demonstrated" something, but if you look closely, by reasonable standards it didn't.

Actually if you dig up the authors' initial article about it, IIRC at the end there's a line like "so what does any of this actually prove? Well, we'll leave that for you to decide." If the authors can't say what their experiment proved, I think it's reasonable to conclude it didn't prove anything :D
I had known that "It's just Wings" was chilis the first time I bought it, but I did not know how bad "Ghost Kitchens" were until the "The Deceptive World of Ghost Kitchens" video. It's worth a watch

I am a recipient of their sms spam and I don’t remember there being a way to opt out, also I think the number rotated so blocking was ineffective.

Glad to see some consequences, even if it’s pocket change today.
HelloFresh also sends marketing snail mail if they have your postal address.

The market starts to be crowded and they are obviously aggressively marketing their product. We'll see if that can last. It's crazy that they got $367 million in total funding for a recipe and ingredients (meal kits) subscription business but they apparently now have 6 billion euros in revenue so it seems to work.
Performance isn’t a problem for Java for just about any business application most programmers will work on and, if it is, you can usually figure out how to optimize Java to hit your performance target. Safety is also not a problem in Java. And fat jars remain the single best way to deploy an application I’ve seen in just about any ecosystem (and nix is working out pretty well to bring their benefits to the rest of the programming world).
I couldn't get Suwayomi to work properly on my homelab without a desktop install. I found Komga easier to use with local files (Suwayomi is great for accessing online sources).

Kavita trumps them both in this regard, though it has a few problems with automatic identification. Files have to be rigorously organized.

Mango is not as fully featured as them.
I really wonder why anyone would use Ubuntu when Debian exists.
hyperscale^3-8
I had an ADSL connection in France in the late 90s. It did not do bonding of the 2B channels so was limited to 64kbps, but the latency was much better than with a modem so it felt much snappier.
300k TEU a DAY would sound about right.
We used to use ISDN for our videoconference system (PictureTel –expen$ive), in the early 1990s.

We used one half of a line (64KB).

The quality was … less than ideal, and the latency was about two seconds.

We also used it for our corporate Internet connection.

I don’t miss it.
Now when I'm at an actual computer, I see that it was implemented, at least in the Java version. Removing that made for a 30% speed increase: https://github.com/spotify/sparkey-java/pull/65
I assume so, just wondering what would've happened if they had the phone, how far were they from the rescue service, what was the circumstances etc.
Well, wether it's colder, warmer, dryer, wetter, the same or different, at this point all possibilities are predicted by someone to be the consequence of human CO2 production at this point

New Anthropic Paper: Sleeper Agents
Late reply, but no. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and basically every single instance of "the next generation is awful because X" has proven to be bullshit for the last 2,500+ years. I don't know how many times we'll have to go through rock & roll panic to reefer madness panic to satanic panic to video games cause violence panic it'll take to make so called "hackers" the least bit skeptical to shit that we learned was bullshit as children. Somehow, some people forget everything that enabled them to be the people they are and want to force their children down a narrow path that they choose. But it's not enough that they choose, they have to dictate what other parents can choose because it's too difficult to say no to little Timmy if his friend's parent's have said yes.
This piece feels almost like an advertorial, and clearly without any sort of hands on review.

Everything I’ve read about attempts to embed a camera in a pair of binoculars suggests previous results have been poor (given the optics are entirely different).

I’m not a binocular expert, but about the only tech feature I can think of in active use is image stabilisation?
Thanks! Somehow didn't find that.
Where did I ever say the risk of China's invasion should ever be ignored? You and I and anyone honest should laugh at the dreamworld their foreign policy lives in (i.e. the idea that the PRC and ROC aren't two separate countries), but we should take their delusions very seriously. Taiwan should continue to build their defense and their international relationships to try to keep China from invading. No one paying attention is under any illusions as to the true point of China's propaganda.
Japan has an eating out culture due to smaller living spaces. It sadly became a lot more expensive recently with salaries staying low. McDonalds went up dramatically over 5 years. The quality also went down.
In Japan, they used to have ISDN phone booths (what is a “phone booth”?). These were grey phones. Never tried using one.
Rockauto gets it very close to correct.

The warehouse game (or at least the version that I play) is just to optimize shipping expense.

They've got a checkbox that says something like "Choose for me" that seems to help, but it kind of sucks if im being particular about a number of parts.

It would be better if I could just check all possible candidate parts as I compile an order to complete a project, and have it pick from just my selections.

(Like, maybe I don't care which brand of coated rotors I get -- at all -- so I check all of the coated rotors.

And maybe I'm happy with either Bendix or Powerstop pads, so I check both of them.

I also need an oil filter. I understand that in my car, Mahle is fine, so is Mann, and so is one particular Purolator, while I also understand that the low-end Fram is not OK.

So I might pick the candidates that make sense for me there, too.

And then, ideally: I push the "Now save me some money" button and it optimizes the order to ship one part for each set of candidates as cheaply as possible.

It doesn't seem to do this.)
The router was misreporting network activity. The machine wasn't sending 3.7GB a day. It says so in the article.
Higher order functions are not easy to grasp for beginners, but once you do, they simplify reasoning about the code a lot.

Go is targeted at system programming, which is a domain in which you need pretty advanced developers. But the language feature seems to favor use by absolute programming beginners. It's a trade-off which seems somehow inverted.
I was looking for some context between bottled and tap water and found this. Any better sources?

Pretty fragile though.
I'm bit confused, wonder why they don't just charge more. It seems like unloading/rail shipping, would be so expensive and they will do it. So during normal operating, there is enough 'profit' on the shippers side, that the canal could charge more.
It's a first-time fine. It goes up roughly 10x if they do it again.

Environmental Disaster. Wait until someone says, lets just pump in sea water.
Does anyone know if distilling water would remove these plastic particles, or if they’re small enough to to travel up with water vapour?
It is also not necessarily what people want.

I do think social mobility from being able to work is something people want. I think AI researchers want to feel important and like they have purpose. As they start to realize that will all vanish once they invent AGI, it will be interesting to see how they proceed.

I think human augmentation is far more attractive and will be a more popular field of endevour, if we workout how to get better at it.

> As part of this investigation, it was also discovered that the company continued to contact some individuals even after they had requested this to stop.

If the messages had an opt-out mechanism that worked, they likely would have gotten away with the other things.
Honestly I think at this point supporting Taiwan's defense is more important. The entire world could be unified in officially acknowledging the ROC, but it is military and economics that deter any Chinese invasion. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that the world should be less duplicitous and honestly acknowledge the ROC, but that alone won't really be much protection for Taiwan.
No I think you missed my point.
Probably I'm just making a bad job of explaining what I mean.

But I also suspect you're been primed to be on the defensive given how many people are attacking liberal values.

My point is this:

There is a growing rhetoric on the right of center that tries to frame "the left" as this obscure force that all sort of nefarious things. They take examples out if the most fringe corners and use them to fuel their base. Like the guy that insisted to have a litter box in the workplace because he identified as a cat.

But none of that shit is a "policy of the left". None of that shit is anything you be worried about. That's my point.

There is almost nothing fueled by sincere progressive values that one should be afraid of. The left is not raping babies or whatnot.

In that sense, the only strategic mistake that people on the left of center are doing is to feed the trolls on the right.

I understand that you're framing this as "well, fuck them, _they_ are the trolls don't blame me for feeding them, I'm the victim don't blame me".

But that kind of logic works only when dealing with individuals. Our natural moral instincts are not adapted to dealing with massive societies with hundreds of million of people engaging in an information warfare of an unprecedented scale.

Every real fascist out there would be neutered if it wasn't for a number of people who have no clue about anything and are just passively going through their lives just passively following along whatever their social group is nudging them to follow.

Denying this fact and claiming that absolutely all people are 100% active political agents that are either 100% fascist or 100% anti-fascist is wishful thinking at best and a dangerous trap at worst.

If you want to make the world a better place you need to understand people and find compromises that get most people on board. If you're doing that somebody else will and some will not hesitate to leverage the lowest human instincts such as xenophobia to rally people on their side. I don't want to live in such a world
bash is a shell, it's even in the name: 'Bourne Again Shell'.

But bash is also a programming language. I couldn't find the talk that you're referring to, but Joe might have been referring to

1. 'using the shell' - as in, interacting with your OS through text, learning POSIX commands (which you could be executing with bash) and the mindset you need for shell usage

2. 'using bash' - as in, using bash as a scripting language

also vim > emacs ;)
Their blog also seems to rely on JS to render text. I mean, most sessions will have almost no user interactions besides scrolling. Generating the HTML and serving it static seems a no brainer...
Is that different from purely-oceanic shipping? The Box says that Malcom McLean decided to run a container ship that only went east, and it was a miserable failure because a delay on any part of the route meant the same delay happened everywhere else in the route (because it was the same ship).

That tends to imply that what you want in shipping is a bunch of reliable legs, not one point-to-point transport?
Gulp: A fully loaded neo-Panamax ship is rated to carry 120,000 tons DWT (which excludes the weight of the ship itself). A train composed of heavy-axle rail cars has an upper limit of about 160 tons. Building bridges and a rail bed to carry a load 1,000 times larger than ever before is no small thing. Then you need to build drydocks to get a fully-loaded ship on and off a train. Building rail cars that would hold the thing ... I wonder if it's even possible in metallurgical terms ... I seriously doubt a rail-car wheel could carry 1,000 times as much load as it does currently.

A common theme here in this modern self and business driven world.

We are human beings not human doings.

Doing nothing is the most wonderful thing.

It is a place where new ideas and innovations come from.

I have always found that space to be a place of change, either in personality or the beginning of a new developmental stage. The old self changing the old life to meet my new demands of a new life. What we seek as teenegers is not same as when we are in our 30's, 40's or 50's.

However, the anxiety is unbearable in that space, hence we are continually seeking and doing things, anything to reduce the existential anxiety of just being.

Everyone? Who is everyone, do you not mean you? Own it and all you say.
Not everyone is busy building and learning for the next big thing.
You are or have been and still are. Own it.
"I am so busy building and learning for the next big thing."

Those things are not out there they are in here. They are yours and it is your life.

Life is monotonous and unchallenging.

looking inside and working on ones self is always the beginning

Working on personal issues can only be a priority.

Creating a healthy balance, for me, is just business speak for keeping 50% of your focus on meaningless things. A real healthy balance is committing 100% to yourself
For a fixed average transmission power, bandwidth and noise power, QAM provides more goodput than QPSK, and at larger constellation sizes the gap increases.

In fact, QPSK is just a type of QAM with a constellation size of 2.

I don’t think it’s possible to say. Our current definitions of spacetime is limited to what is in the observable universe. What’s on the other side could be a whole different universe with similar spacetime. Or it could be an infinite void. Or it could literally not exist. Or it could be a vast sea of cream cheese. We don’t know, and according to our current understanding of physics, it is impossible for us to ever know.

Edit: not a physicist by the way, would also love someone who actually knows what they’re talking about to butt in.
