The shell happens to be a programming tool and not just an interactive command interpreter. There are whole books on how to write shell scripts portably across various Unix-y platforms. Many of the examples in those books will now throw war

Some higher-end printers have HTTPS or LPD (or even FTP) printing built into them. As far as using a web app to queue to a printer that's working on a local Linux machine or so, the webapp could be as simple as just a file upload form

20 years ago, wireless was the only affordable way for us to serve residential customers faster than ISDN or in some cases dialup in a lot of small towns. We could get FR or ATM to a business, but we couldn't make it affordable for mos

It'd be paying someone a commission on custom art that they can't mass produce and commercialize because it's not a commodity. Doing so regularly from the same artist or artisan would be patronage, in the positive sense of th

At the end of the day, English is less a language in the sense of other languages and more a pluggable framework an empire developed for adopting the vocabulary of other peoples and stuffing them into a loose sort of syntax together.

There are those rumors. In fact, there's no announced 7800X yet. The speculation is they launch a 7800X3D a few weeks to a few months from now with 3D cache from the beginning in that 7800 name space. To me that seems likely. There&#x2

The rest of the post was saying we should scale support to need rather than lumping all homeless people into incarceration or residential inpatient treatment. Not only is it more expensive to treat all of these people in the most expensive

If the nuclear weapons come out, the US would at least seriously consider retaliatory strikes as well. If NATO countries are attacked, the US is treaty-bound to fight alongside them, too.

There are places in the site that say it provides everything of an OS except the kernel. So it's basically on par with GNU or so needing a Linux or FreeBSD kernel to complete the system. The site also refers to the language as a supers

Call me a dreamer, but I believe in actually providing people the support they need to live if they are failing to make a go at it on their own. If that's some basic housing, so be it. If it's job training, great - we can use a mo

There may be something much better, but in many places it's difficult to come up with a form of communication more efficient for the user than textual language. It could be a very tall order to do that in this area.

To be fair, even with a closed ecosystem for the cores themselves there is a large third party ecosystem in compilers, OSes, support hardware, and documentation around ARM these days. It's interesting how quickly all of that popped up
