It might not be how humans write numbers but it is consistent with how we think about numbers in a base system. 123 = 3x10^0 + 2x10^1 + 1x10^2 So if you were to go and label each digit in 123 with the power of 10 it represents, you end up

I have used a Roku, an Amazon Fire stick, and an Apple TV. The Apple TV is by far the best, in my experience. The only downside was their god awful remote, but even that has been fixed in the newest version. I think you’ll be happy.

git reset --hard does not only modify the work tree though, it also updates where your current branch points to. In fact, that is the main purpose of ‘git reset’, the fact that it modified your work tree at all is only because of the ‘--h

> Or rather AGPL forces you to distribute the software you run. No it does not. Using AGPL software does not suddenly make your own software a derived work.

It is absolutely FUD. https://drewdevault.com/2020/07/27/Anti-AGPL-propaganda.html

Not everyone agrees on this point [1]. One relevant quote: "This is ultimately a question not of the GPL per se, but of how copyright law defines derivative works." Whether or not dynamic linking constitutes a "derived"

If you're only using Grafana, but not modifying it and re-distributing it, then the AGPL places no obligation on you. You only have to license your own software as AGPL if it is a derivative work of another AGPL licensed program.

If you're only using Grafana for monitoring but not distributing it to your users as part of your product then I don't think you need to make your own product AGPL. I'm sure if I'm wrong I will find out very quickly, thi

Did you see the new remote? It seems to solve many of your requests. I, too, absolutely hate the current Apple TV remote and I'm pumped they finally redesigned it. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/04/a

Citation needed. I use credit cards exclusively so I cannot say for sure, but I am extremely skeptical that banks don’t offer any fraud protection on debit cards in the US. AFAIK the main reason people prefer CC’s over debit cards for fra

I won't defend TTY or bash, but I will say that awk has stood the test of time because it's an amazingly potent tool for doing ad-hoc processing of textual information, which is still a frequent task even in the era of Kubernetes

I certainly agree with you that those stories are shocking and horrific, those reports were about delivery drivers, not warehouse workers, so it’s not really relevant to this particular discussion.

Something like Vim still benefits from the composability of the command line interface. I can write and read buffers to/from other processes, asynchronously run commands and pipe the output into Vim, and of course I can always put Vim

Undoing isn’t a feature of a GUI though, but rather running in a context that maintains history/state. There’s no reason a command line program couldn’t do something like this in theory.

It is far from settled whether the GP’s interpretation is in fact what actually happened. I highly recommend The Innovators by Walter Isaacson. Among other things, it covers this “controversy” in great detail.

I’m sure I must have read a few articles many years ago when I first started using tmux, but I can’t remember what they are now and I wouldn’t be able to provide you anything that you wouldn’t just find on a simple search. Maybe I will sit

Funny, I just went through a similar experience and had to tether off a Verizon connection for almost two weeks. I certainly felt the pain of a slow connection too and felt frustrated at how badly this affected the experience on so many sit

Tmux is easily one of my all time favorite and most used tools, behind (maybe) only Vim/Neovim. I use every feature it offers: scroll back, copy buffers, window splitting/management, different sessions for different projects, etc.

Try this in your tmux.conf: bind -T root M-h select-pane -L (I’m typing this from my phone from memory, so bear with me if there are minor mistakes.) The -T root does what you want, ie bind a key without a prefix. M-h is Alt-h, so

There are some things out of date for sure, but the bulk of it is still highly relevant. When I was first learning to write kernel drivers, I had LDD open on one screen and the kernel source code open on the other. You can usually look for

I think the upvotes are more in the spirit of "I share your frustration and negative outlook of crypto in general" rather than an endorsement of the specific policy suggestion.

You can check the news far less than once a day. If you apply a low-pass filter to current events by, say, checking once a week or even less, the broad movements and important things will remain while the shallow and ephemeral will naturall

> This is a somewhat modern thing. Indeed. Go back and read some speeches from the 19th century (e.g. Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural speech) and you’ll find run on sentences everywhere. Heck, even the US Constitution is full of them.

AFAIK Windows is still one of Microsoft’s golden geese. If they transitioned to Linux, they’d lose out on all that sweet, sweet licensing revenue. Which makes this seem unlikely to me.

I hadn't heard of Crystal before reading the OP, but I agree that Nim seems like the most apt comparison as far as new-ish languages go.

This is exactly right. If you set out with some requirements such as 1) everything must be able to still work without internet access and 2) it must be simple enough that my mom/grandma/whatever can still use it, then you can stil
