This isn't categorically true either, the real world is delightfully complicated, far more so than you imagine. The way cars interact within a road, as they enter an exit the road, or how they choose their route can all create conditio

Whether you mistrusted and were betrayed by that trust is binary, but that's like if someone says "radioactivity is a continuum" and you say "I either got hit by a gamma ray or not" as if that settles the question.

It could be that the Gimp team and community are so self-selecting, defensive, and idiosyncratic that they drive everyone else who wants to change (read as "improve") it out of the team and community before letting them do anythin

As someone who very reluctantly fits that description, yes but no. I don't love FreeBSD any less or want to use it any less than anytime in the last 20 years, nor do I like Linux any more than at any time in the last 20 years (less, if

If they can get what they want from this, they will not stop after they get it. Even if the authors of the law want it to stop here, their successors will not, and will build upon this to erode privacy. When governments can change the deal

I have never used Oh My Zsh, but I use Atuin to do this and it works excellently at that. You can even make it filter by what folder you're in and whether you want to search only this session or host (you can sync shell history across

BSD was mired in the uncertainty of a lawsuit over some of their code at the time that Linux was getting started, and the FUD around that gave Linux a head start that BSD had up until that point, so you can't infer much about the reaso

Before the AI craze, all the GPUs were being bought up by cryptocurrency miners, and I'm not sure that's better. Even as an AI skeptic I think AI is a better use of all this hardware than cryptocurrency.

I wasn't sold on face ID until winter, and then the appeal become viscerally obvious.

Don’t worry, it wouldn’t replace your human boss, you’d just have both bosses.

I think the meaning was not "You can import used cars without tariffs", but "If you buy used cars already in the country, you don't pay the new tariff, so just don't buy new cars."

It seems shaky trying to apply labels like "low level" or "high level" to Rust, it covers a very broad range of these "levels", just short of C and Zig on the low level end (at least, without becoming substanti

Because you're looking at a thread about Mozilla, the outrage is in the threads about Apple removing ADP for iCloud users in the UK.

They had two paths to comply with the law. Silently backdoor the worldwide cloud serving every Apple device, or loudly tell people in the UK they don't get to have security because their government prohibits them. Between these two opt

Thank you! Now that I know what the feature is even called it's much easier to learn about, definitely adding this to my config file.

As unhelpful as the other commenter suggesting atuin was, this is actually a thing that atuin does well, if you're using a shell it supports, it commits to history immediately.

I'm an atuin user and if this feature exists, I have not seen it and would love to have it. Could you expand on how to get per-directory history as something separate from global shell history?

No, Rust gives you a lot to wrap your head around very quickly, and it took me three or four epiphanies to get it, and I tried to learn and stopped twice before I was able to get far enough along with it that it became easy to think about a

I love exercises like this because it sometimes forces me to reformulate ideas I've had abstractly until I'm happy with them. 1. Don't assign to categories that which can be described through traits. Do not put things into &q

This has been happening to me for the last few months. What gets me is that my email address is not even in the recipients list most of the time. Much of it was sent to my email userpart @aol.com and somehow I'm receiving it in gmail.

Not being falsifiable and not having evidence aren't the same thing. Conspiracy theories are usually centrally dependent upon something that is both outlandish and impossible to disprove, or some reasoning that is constructed so that i

Bitlocker actually has multiple keys. There's one key to encrypt your data. There's a volume master key that encrypts the data encryption key. And then there are zero or more key protectors for the volume master key. One of those

It's only useful if you know the voltage of the battery, so that you can calculate watt-hours, or if you at least know that two batteries you're comparing are the same voltage so you're comparing like to like. It's not u

GPL uses copyright and its viral aspects strongly to try to undermine copyright's goals. That's precisely why it is viral, because it is copyright, and doesn't make it any less viral. BSD-style licenses' terms minimize t
