Excellent - I’m about to install it for my aged mother, because windows keeps moving her cheese.
I want something that doesn’t change the workflows once she’s learned how to do a task, and that local techs can help her with, and that I can VNC to when I have to.
the translation step from binary (program) -> text (SQL) -> binary (server)
Your concern about this is misguided. Inter-process communication always has to cross a barrier, by definition.
I take it http also feels wrong to you?
Binary protocols do exist, e.g. gRPC, but they incur costs of their own.
Shame I had to scroll this far to find PRQL
No! Bad dev! No biscuit!
Never merge master into a feature branch. It’s called a “wrong-way” merge and it makes the history fucking awful.
You shit in the face of project maintainers when you do this.
You may not care, in fact many don’t. Also people buy timeshares, read celebrity gossip magazines, and vote for scumbags. They are fucking idiots who don’t know what they are doing. So are people who leave wrong-way merges in shared history.
In fact, wrong-way mergers are worse, because you can’t just ignore them - git blame rubs your face in their shit, so they shit in your face forever.
Just don’t fucking do it, OK? Or I will hit you in the throat with a cricket bat soaked in wasps. As a first warning.
I’m getting started with i3, so I get your point now.
Ahhh, thanks! Please excuse my error - I am attempting to perform computation using a kilo of wet squidgy protein and fat.
Deliberately duplicate a mac address, and worse, deliberately pick a device that’s definitely going to be online in the same network segment?
At first I thought you were either trolling or profoundly ignorant.
Then I remembered that wifi is CSMA, and thought, hang on… is this actually a genius idea? Has this user come up with a hack that no-one else knows about? So I tried it.
It doesn’t work. I couldn’t even join.
So no, you are either trolling or ignorant.

Racial origins of those terms? Citation needed.
Black and white, in the sense of good and evil, have had their connotations for a fucking long time, whereas black and white to describe skin colour are relatively recent etymologies. I’m pretty sure that Romans didn’t call themselves “white” or others “black”, for example.
I’m willing to be taught, but this sounds like bullshit to me.
The etymology being wrong doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t drop freighted terminology, I just don’t want false justification. Bullshit is never a valid reason to do something.
Pure FUD. Worse, it’s wilfully stupid.
Are you in the habit of picking pipeline commands at random? Do you not usually have a purpose in mind? OBVIOUSLY the receiving end has to understand what it’s receiving, or what the fuck are you even doing?
Do you believe that your text processing commands don’t have to understand what they receive?
Let’s get the ports of the node container.
Bash:
docker ps | grep node | cut -n 6 -f ' '
Pwsh:
docker-ps | where name -eq 'node' | select ports
First the grep command shits the bed because at some point you started a new container running a nodejs image.
Then the cut command fails because you had a container with a space in the name, so it outputs mounts instead of ports.
That’s a non-issue with sematic tools. Semantic tools are also legible. Yeah, I can figure out what that awk command does, but it’s meaningless unless I also know the shape of the data is supposed to operate on.
You don’t write “USE 2nd DATABASE; SELECT 3rd COLUMN FROM 10th ROW”, do you? Why would you want to do that in a shell?
Ate you joking? Auto-complete works out of the box, it’s a shell feature. Install pwsh and save keystrokes.
What’s wrong with Virtual Desktops on windows? They work perfectly for me.
No argument with your other points.
My understanding is that the Windows terminal sucks? I don’t know why, it just looks bad.
Your understanding is wrong. I’ve tried 8 different terminals on mac, arch and kubuntu, and I miss Windows Terminal every day. It looks good and the config is a pleasure. I don’t expect Linux to look pretty, but MacOS had fucking awful font rendering and it’s supposed to be this upmarket OS for moneyed pricks in black turtlenecks. Was everyone in unixland busy doing drugs while Microsoft was implementing anti-aliasing? Is clear legible type for losers?
That’s Teams. Slack used to be a CPU hog too, but Teams is a real piece of shit. And occasionally it used to just peg one core at 100% until I killed it.
I’m so glad I quit that company.
Great boast for privacy. Removes a lot of attack surface that law could exploit. And potentially reduces running costs, too.
Glad to hear you’re building the kernel too.
You want to have a superficial little rant about how much you hate microsoft. It’s uninformed and boring, and you’re not going to learn anything in that mindset.
C# is an excellent language for many circumstances. If you knock off the attitude, I’d be willing to explain to you why it’s so widely used.
“…because if just one of those things gets down here, then all of this… bullshit, that you think is so important, well, you can kiss all that goodbye.”
Very happy with runbox.com. Hosted in Sweden, reasonable price, and - unlike proton - you can use your own frigging mail client
Excavator in rack-mount enclosure would be awesome
Do what now? Sorry, I’m a frontend developer, I don’t have much experience with C##
