What really resonated with me was your repeated calls for us at least to be arguing about the same thing, to get on the same page. Everything about LLMs and generative AI is gettin…

I believe the parent comment is referring to the harbor pilot job specifically.

Imagine being able to shut off all Ubiquiti console access in the world instantly, by posting about a grave security issue (real or not) and having a few compatriots to do the same…

> Ps.: When I say Thunderbolt, I am well aware of how Thunderbolt 4 is just USB4 with optional features made mandatory. It's not relevant to the discuss at hand. Dear God, I hope t…

The first source isn't really accessible unless you have an account. Total exports in terms of adjusted cost _has_ stagnated: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/world-trade-exports…

It is bizarre that you would read an article which says, “using body-mass index (BMI) to measure obesity is likely the most problematic factor,” and then immediately prescribe a fi…

It sounds like you're responding to a cryptocurrency talking point. How likely do you think it is that taxation (as in, "nothing is certain except death and taxes") will disappear …

oh.

Did Ubuntu choose WirePlumber or `pipewire-media-session`? Arch tried to switch off from `pipewire-media-session`, because it's merely a proof of concept whose development is dead,…

Depends on how you define headless, but the fact is, I'm rarely logged into it, and there's no mouse nor keyboard connected, nor any X server running.

Also tried, also useless. The program producing the sound is being run by another user.

You can't use `pavucontrol` unless you're logged in to a graphical interface as the user who is producing the sound. For a headless system, it's useless.

It's fine when it works. It's a monstrosity when it doesn't. I spent an hour the other day trying to figure out how to tell it not to output audio through my DualSense controller h…

This seems like a neat idea! I like it too.

There are plenty of other systems to do this with. Gist's value proposition seems orthogonal to its Git integration—more to do with its UX.

I think your comment was directed to the wrong person.

Do you know you don't have a Y chromosome? Did you check?

He made people uncomfortable. He was asked to stop. He was reported. He kept doing it. So it's not a "slightly odd sense of humor." It's not humor if no one laughs. If someone tell…

Ah, now I know why you hopped on IRC finally last week. :)

From GNU coreutils: $ wc -l src/ls.c 4980 src/ls.c $ wc -l src/cat.c 768 src/cat.c $ wc -l src/chmod.c 570 src/chmod.c

There is a very quick overview of all this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_(system_call)#Higher_leve...

I wonder how out of the question Spotlight integration would be.

Yeah, I tried to be clear that "I’m not going to explain monads."

I feel like Wadler was pretty straightforward in his whitepapers about the role he envisaged for monads. See in "Monads for functional programming", the second sentence of the abst…
