bash is a shell, it's even in the name: 'Bourne Again Shell'. But bash is also a programming language. I couldn't find the talk that you're referring to, but Joe might have been referring to 1. 'using the shell

If Siri is better than Google Assistant these days… that says more about how bad GA is, not how good Siri is. I say this as an owner of two HomePod Minis

It’s definitely lesser-known and a useful command, since listing the contents of the current directory is very useful :) It just happens that there are other popular commands that do the same…

Interesting, after reading your comment I've decided bad UI is subjective. I'm gen z, and never found Snapchat's UI to be confusing, and none of my gen z friends have ever complained about it, either. > They flock to diffi

To add on to that, it's a very "childish" word, something a little kid would say. It's like you did something without your mom's permission, implying a child-like sneakiness or mischievousness.

Most drug users aren’t junkies, they just smoke a joint in the weekend or pop a pill once a year at a festival. Or, you know, drink a beer with their mates. Life isn’t about being productive, and humans have used substances recreationally f

My SSH keys are protected with a password, on top of that I have a biometric lock (MacBook fingerprint reader) on my SSH keys. So they would only grant access to someone that 1. has access to my computer, 2. knows the password (which only I

You save passwords in plain text (bookmarks) and then complain that people can read the plain text over your shoulder?

The easiest way to get the easy of use of Safari's password manager in a different browser would be to use a different password manager that works in other browsers. Common recommendations are 1Password (my personal favorite), BitWarde

Fascinating article brimming with the author’s passion for the humble tofu. It left me with a desire to book a ticket to China and try out all the vegetarian foods described in the article! Especially those tofu dumplings of love. I have a

I get that some people don’t want to participate in the competition, but how is that a reason to take the feature away from others who enjoy the competition?

12% of the money is suspected fraudulent, not the transactions, right? So could be that fraudulent transactions are a smaller volume of the total transactions, but they simply tend to be higher in terms of dollar amount.

While many of these are obvious and don't need further explanation, the article would benefit a lot from showing a few simple examples for some of these items, or a justification for why the author's proposed naming is better.

My wording is confusing, by "not taking a performance hit" I mean that the performance of the 32GB stick is not limited to the lesser 8GB stick, like it would have been with dual channel. Of course, dual channel is always better t

It's possible that there is no dual channel, so the laptop would not take a performance hit due to mismatched sticks. I can not tell the configuration of the slots from their specs page [0]. Their configuration page [1] confirms that i

I like that they are an open-source Postman, but I also dislike that they are just a copy-and-paste of Postman. Did Hoppscotch try to be innovative in any of its features?

I wonder if anyone in the industry has any insights in how a regular developer can help improve ad blockers? Where to get started? As a huge fan of blocking ads, this makes me feel inspired to join the fight against Google. How can I help?

Meta’s aspiration might be to take on OpenAI, but so far they have not released a single consumer product that can compete with ChatGPT’s success. This article paints a positive picture for Meta. Does it really match reality?

It's also the #2 post on www.reddit.com/r/all: https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/15kg058/til_... Is there some kind of coordinated push to get this story out everywhere?

Not really sure that this analogy applies, because I could definitely photocopy as many books from the library as I physically can. No one is going to stop me.
