Climate change is defined by both wet and dry extremes. Excess rainfall creates an explosion of brush that during the now annual drought turns to tinder.

PowerShell is open source and available on Linux today for those who enjoy an OO terminal. MIT licensed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/insta...

Examples of Musk benefitting Musk do not demonstrate a net-positive impact on the world. The artists criticizing Mr. Musk make a good point about what's really happening. https://youtu.be/i9qWYUH5x3k

PowerShell maps plaintext to objects without issue. No need to drop down into bytestreams. In the following example, 'choco' (Chocolatey) outputs a list of outdated packages in a consistent format (--limit-output). The text output

WSL on Windows replaces the need for uutils/coreutils. Running an actual distribution of Linux on Windows with WSL provides an actual Linux/POSIX environment. In my experience, there is a graveyard of tools that I tried which atte

PowerShell also runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. You pass objects instead of plaintext through the pipeline which provides a rich experience. The full .NET type and ecosystem are also available when you really need a full fledged class for

POSIX commands are available on *nix platforms and PowerShell provides native functions or POSIX wrappers for most tasks. About the biggest issue is speed, but there's always POSIX or .NET Core in the rare instance tons of performance

PowerShell runs on Linux. I run PS as my primary shell [0] on Linux today. It's is open source too. You're not far away with how PowerShell can parse Linux commands. Instead of relying on awk/grep, PowerShell uses .NET under

For years I've watched the rivers in Washington State receive consideration. Progress has been made and continues to be. Saying humankind has done "nothing" is not only mistaken, but makes for poor conversation. Perhaps more

Small trucks may cut enough emissions by reducing road-wear. If everyone switched from large trucks to an even larger amount of small trucks it's possible the problem is made worse. Why the focus on small trucks as if they're a pa

Honestly, it's good to hear I'm not alone. Synchronization in Joplin concerned me too. E2EE is non-trivial to setup and Joplin will upload decrypted files if E2EE is misconfigured on a device. Encryption appears to be an aftertho

What happened with your Joplin sync issue? I am interested in using Joplin exclusively and use both apps currently. The Standard Notes development team is nice but refactors happen too frequently and estimates are rarely (never) produced, e

Ando Ngo has frequently posted information to intentionally muddy the situation and incite an anger against protestors. As a Seattle resident, my fear is that people are beginning to act on this disinformation from Andy Ngo and others. Here

DynamoDB is consistent and scalable, not fast and cheap. DDB is great for storing data that is required to be scalable and never needs to be joined. Add in DAX, developer time necessary to orchestrate transactions, calculate the scaling cos

Dokuwiki will function perfectly for some specific use-cases. The file format and plugins are not something that should be glossed over with Dokuwiki though. Yes, it's possible to rsync flat files from Dokuwiki to somewhere else, but D

Hardly needs maintenance at all was not my experience. My primary driver for seeking out a new wiki was because of how difficult testing and managing Dokuwiki can be. Updates to the main wiki are infrequent, plugins are often abandoned, and

Seriously. wiki.js was easy to setup, simple to run, and actually works on mobile devices. Markdown files are published to an external git repository. I am happy with wiki.js. It's much less maintenance than Dokuwiki.

Some people will move away from a city and others will move to a city. It happens. Neither of us expects to see a sizable net movement from urban to "exurban" (rural) areas. Why choose the exurbs where you pay a premium to drive l

Only time will tell for certain but the preemptive measures places like Seattle have taken appear to be paying dividends. Living in rural Texas is much more concerning than living in Seattle during COVID19. As for space, cities have lacked

Which keyboard combination moves windows around, the same as WIN+ArrowKey, after enabling "keyboard access" in MacOS?

by electricEmu 6y ago
It's my understanding that MacOS requires extra setup for those shortcuts regardless of Karabiner. If you feel that extra setup is acceptable then any almost modern OS will fit your needs. There's something to be said for standard

by electricEmu 6y ago
Windows can be controlled entirely by the keyboard, out of the box (Start+ArrowKey). MacOS always required extra setup with Karabiner and other tools to mostly accomplish the same thing. The BSD derived base in MacOS made a great developer

PowerShell works on Linux today. It's consistent and works fine for this Go-developer's needs. It's spectacular to have a shell with consistent verbiage and parameters. https://aka.ms/getps6-linux

You should look into Seattle’s housing problems, as there are many. Apartments are very expensive and most are not sized for families. The city is still zoned for single family homes, driving up the cost of the homes to near San Francisco l

The suburbs are much cheaper than Seattle proper. Granted, there are a few small communities that are very expensive. Mostly suburbs (the Rentons, Tacomas, and Monroes of Puget Sound) are very inexpensive compared to Seattle proper.

I use StandardNotes and the Open Source aspect attracted me. I can run the parts if the company goes away. Today, I’ll pay SN a reasonable fee for convenience and future additions. The competition is Evernote if the software isn’t free. I
