At the time, before everything became Linux, all these tools and the shells used to glue them together were an incoherent mess. Was your glue sh, ksh, csh, tcsh, bash or something uncommon like zsh? Did your grep, awk and sed use the same r

Back in the 90s I got my first 'real' job, and needed to learn well grep, awk, sed, col et. al. Or learn Perl. Perl kept us afloat until we had too much Perl and needed to switch to Python. And I still don't know awk or sed;

Yes, and people who want to get high have the choice between purchasing non-medical marijuana illegally or medical marijuana illegally. Because 'I want to get high' isn't a legitimate reason for prescription, so instead peopl

It remains to be seen if treatment will be covered by Medicare, and how large the payment gap will be in practice.

Most countries with >1 telco needed to mandate phone number portability, because the telcos would not do it voluntarily. I can't see it being fixed for email though. The sanest ways would be to provide a domain per citizen (essentia

I'm now curious if the oil becomes problematic to mice because of the extraction process, and if some cooked or processed soy products may have similar problems.

The same environmental changes that encouraged humans and other smaller predators to spread to the Americas may also have lowered the population of the megafauna. But yes, I tend to believe that the environmental change that killed of the m

I think this is the mind defending its worldview , in the same way as people react when you question or present evidence that contradicts. And yes, it is a natural defense against changing your mind and can be rationalized as a survival st

Australia is wealthy because it is digging up its coal and iron and gas and exporting it.

I'd always assumed it would be easier to lift a fingerprint from the many on my case and screen, unlocking in a single attempt.

It is normally high risk, high reward in humans. There is the traditional, conservative, predictable route. And there is the novel, which might work and get you called a genius, but more likely not work well, perhaps leaving you destitute o

I had a similar device in my hands 15 years ago in Thailand, with the company making it trying to find a market when OLPC was getting all the press. It was a netbook with a low power 386 compatible CPU and just enough circuitry and support

I can't tell if you are talking about these particular devices or quantum computing in general. Lots of research, lots of money, but still very limited use cases. This is exactly the sort of device you might need to purchase with that

These are the latest generation, not mid-tier. Mid-tier is your 3060 IMO, and will probably become 3080 with the release of these new cards. That mid-tier 3060 gives you 4k gaming or HD gaming at 60+Hz refresh. I think the release strategy

What has the length of copyright have to do with this? The same court case could have happened in the 80s before Warhol died.

Yes, and I think it is mostly a case of using different labels. I have a relative who has been Hikikomori for over 10 years, but it gets called social anxiety and just one facet of the Asperger's and ADHD diagnosis.

And when there is just one actor (us), "won't" is just a subset of "can't". As in "we can't do it, because we won't do it".

A human experiments, predicts, learns and understands. A baby shoves everything in its mouth. It discovers how its actions affect the world, extrapolates, and experiments. It learns metaphor, learns how metaphor is useful to predict similar

Yes, and humans will just skim search results rather than actually read the article. Or trust the Wikipedia page or book. Or believe the talking head. When they are not invested in the answer. But the occasions where it matters, we do read

I've been blown away by how much better this feels as a search interface. No longer trying to guess the best search terms or trying to narrow down searches. Just ask a question in English, and get a summarized answer with citations to

This isn't a modular reactor (SMR). It is just a small reactor, with all the caveats of building such. Most notably, you just just get a couple delivered to a decommissioned coal plant and plug them in to meet your 2030 emissions targe
