.bashrc gets run every time a shell starts I'm not sure I'd stick a path setting in .bashrc - just because it would make it very difficult to ever override that PATH setting elsewhere. You might want that but it might also mess u

The original one (bourne) had a great number of limitations and yet as part of a standard it didn't see much change. Everyone wanted something better and each person had an idea of what better was. bash became quite common because it&

In a sense why should anyone care about this article? It's a shell, why is rewriting it in Rust noteworthy?

It depends. A 10% reduction in GDP, as an example, would result in great misery. A 10% staff reduction on an already understaffed organisation probably has a very great impact. The damage is probably being expressed very well

I'm a Mrs Thatcher fan in the UK and I'm angry about Musk supporting the Afd and saluting- and of course calling a hero cave diver a paedophile. I am very angry about his incredible behavior and statements about Ukraine. I'm

Whether you or I see a conspiracy or not the nazis out there have got the message. The support for the AFd, for which their leader thanked him publicly, has just accentuated it.

Working from home isn't leftwing, nor anti-manager, nor is netzero and nor are a lot of your other issues. That you think they are is the propaganda working on you. I can believe in the profit motive without thinking that we should ign

The unseasoned developers are sometimes very keen on some idea, philosophy or method and are very intolerant of skepticism from someone who knows there is no such thing as perfection and no one way of solving all problems.

ltree is the one I ended up using. I don't like it much. The way it works allows you to setup a tree but you can't easily move things around within a tree once they're in. I forgot to say that it's also obviously only a

You get to moderate up or down. Otherwise people say what they want.

Everything in life is estimation. A calculator that tells you the perfect answer in some highly unusual situation probably isn't fixing the most common source of error. e.g I measure an angle and I am not sure about whether it's

I understand the attitude because there are a lot of corporate websites which similarly claim the moon and the stars and when you dig right down a lot of it is bullshit. I have worked in places like this. Such companies tend to imply that t

I doubt that most people using the calc app expect it to handle such situations. It's nice that it does of course but IMO it misses the point that the inputs to a lot of real world calculations are inaccurate to start with. i.e it&#x27

In an effort like Linux it's difficult for everyone to have their way - there are many "ways" but only one kernel. I have had to do maintenance on a distributed filesystem driver at one point. This was outside the kernel. I

I wasn't there but I think dollarization brought stability. There was no need to rush off to spend your money. The "elite" don't really benefit from dollarization though. The currency was a way for them to rob everyone

When my parents died, starting with my mum that shattered the world. My family didn't stay together. I was cut adrift. Time does heal though. It never stops you loving someone but it lets you gradually put something together out of th

Your daughter has taken it all better than you. We're all a moment away from death - on the road all it would take would be one yank on the steering wheel at the wrong time - even by some other driver.

We already test for things like Downs Syndrome which doesn't mean that we stop pregnancy but it tells the parents what to expect. Since we can do gene therapy to some degree already I imagine we'll fix things that are already know

Of course it would be inefficient because it is an extreme oversimplification of what is desirable (which is arguable) and whether or not certain markers would achieve it. The big mistake that racists and bigots make is in overvaluing whate

There'd be no hilarity whatsoever if people discriminated against you based on something they said you could not change. Anyone doing actual science cannot determine whether you are worth hiring based on your DNA - all they can do is p

I'm not in a position to know but from reading around a lot I think the VW ID3/4 ended up having a nightmare update scenario because early hardware was buggy. I know from working at a phone company that hardware absolutely has b

That company is known for having patchy quality and difficult service. As usual the "best car" depends on what aspects of a car you value and how it fits your journeys. If you're thinking about "best" as a general

Ideally yes because if the microcontrollers can be replaced by a central macro-controller computer you can then update it all more easily. You make the whole thing more software defined.

Cultural fit to me is a completely inadequate term to describe what I'm thinking about in an interview. Are they going to be an arsehole? This is my biggest worry after dealing with a couple, first as people above me then as members of
