True. Linux machines don't read articles though, people do. Whether any randomly selected linux-using reader will have cups installed on a device they control is a very different question.

Why not use a more suitable speech? Also, I think it depends on how you come to these rituals. If it's just something you grew up with there's a good chance it's just some words you stumble through before a meal.

I'm going to suggest that you not use "run a train through" to mean "destroy".

Private Eye is a satirical magazine though. It's not a primary news source in the same way that The Register wants to be for tech news. At one point The Register would have been one of my primary news sources, with multiple visits da

Ultimately they drove me away by using too many "cute" names for tech companies.

They are, in fact, not still comprehensible. Don't get me wrong, you can learn a lot, but it's no longer possible to have an in depth understanding of everything going on in a modern PC. At a certain abstraction level, sure, but

I think the adventure game portion of Lucas Arts was in the process of dying at that point. They didn't release another adventure game after Escape from Monkey Island in 2000. They would have already cancelled a Full Throttle sequel.

Looks good. Gemini Rue is good if you're looking for something adventure gamey. Return of the Obra Dinn is good if you're looking for something related but different.

In 2012 a local bank rolled out an update that basically took all of their customer services offline. Couldn't access your money. Took them a month to get things working again.

I agree. It showed the price when the presale was still available, so this seems like an oversight. Unless they plan to change the price. Also, I'm still waiting for an actual hands-on review. It's really quite expensive given

Okay, I can't defend that because in reality I'm talking purely from my subjective experience. I will say that in my experience it isn't close at all. However, I will also say that a lot of the things that chatgpt gets wron

Why would the teacher (this is almost certainly not third level education we're talking about here) use a different AI when they already have primary sources? Your suggestion makes no sense.

Well, I can't say that you're the only one, but I can say that I don't even interact with it that frequently and I've had numerous instances of it giving me false information. Enough times that I'm surprised to see

I think it's pretty clear that as a tool they can be used very effectively if you have at least some understanding of their limitations. I will say that wikipedia, as things stand, is way more accurate than chatgpt. So much so that co

To me it looks like they wrote the base game in 2011 and then spent the past few weeks finishing it off.

Lying about the chip (ie saying that it's a $500 intel chip when it's actually an overclocked $200 chip), is clearly unethical. That said the realities of chip binning make this weird, as you could also argue that it's uneth

Am I misunderstand or is this not on whoever abused the merge commit, whether they made the change personally or not.

Merging a branch is one of the "special cases" where an empty merge commit can be used. Git will use fast forward by default but if you want to preserve the history as a separate branch you can use an empty merge commit instead.

Sure, but is that not on whoever posted it here? I mean, the original author is clearly entitled to make a post for the Nix community, right? It's not like every communication on the matter has to contain a history of events. I sho

As far as I can tell the core issue is that one of the larger corporate users of Nix is a US defence contractor called Anduril. Anduril were one of the sponsors of the 2024 NA NixCon, which is a official conference run by the NixOS foundat

I think this is written for the people in the Nix community. It's not intending to be an explainer for people outside it.

by nebulous1 2y ago
That does seem to be a separate instance though, so it was never really properly resolved at that stage. The reason that Anduril was dropped as a sponsor for the 2023 EU conference was that the venue wouldn't allow the association. Th
