I find parallel to have the best UI (beside the citation thing).

Whenever I use xargs (which is available more often on remote servers) I struggle to find the right invocation. And I learned about parallel way after using xargs, so I don't think it's just my habbit.

Similarly to you my use cases are relatively few (hundreds?) long-running commands, so the performance of the implementation is less important.

Good point!

I like that they shared publicly the severance package (I missed that in a company before, the severance package was only available to the ones laid off, and you wouldn't even know if you got the same as your colleagues).

And the package itself seems alright too (and sensible, for example: the laid off can keep their laptops. What would company do with almost 300 extra laptops?). Time of the lay off also not too bad (firing people in November/December is really uncool).

All in all, not TOO bad from what I can see in the public post.

Oh, and they also said how many people first, not how many percent, which suggest they think about their human resources as actual individuals.

1. Add the apt repo

2. Add the repo's public key

3. apt-get update

4. apt-get install firefox

What 3 steps am I missing?

Why would you do that? Your firefox config should be kept in .mozilla/firefox (or is it .config/mozilla now?) and simply picked up by the new firefox binary. The only time this doesn't work is when you install an older version whose configuration "format" is not compatible with the newer version's one.

Edit: a sibling commenter just made me aware of the config for the "snappy" version actually resides in another directory. That said you can manually copy the files to the standard place

Some early protocols used two sockets for (maybe?) roughly this reason

More likely your smart home app in your phone will do that

As a 37 year old Polish person, I've never seen "ahahaha" used online or irl.

The reason I used rimraf was it was a way to make JS delete all files in the directory. Why would I need to think to shell out to "rm -rf dir" and be responsible for argument escaping, error handling, different shells, etc. If that's what the library does, ok, but it can do it in any way the library devs decided was best. I offloaded that decision to them (putting more trust in them to do it right than in myself).

After skim reading this, can we just stick to PDF please? :-)

I think the percentage charged is very relevant though.

And the fact the developer is to hide the fee and not list it on the receipt (subscription: $10, Apple tax: $3)

And the fact you cannot charge less for the same service if you sold it outside the platform (as you'd like to do as you didn't need to collect the Apple tax).

Can we also scale this up to build a UPS for a house?

Or tiny spy devices INSIDE tiny batteries sold for your devices (like AA form factor forever-battery that actually spies on you)

1. The article mentions the next version is supposed to deliver 1 W

2. You can put a few of those for more power. The fact of not needing to replace it like ever justify the extra space, I think (and can maybe be offset a little by not having to have a charger)?

I'm looking forward to a power bank made of these. This would be epic.

The assumption is that forum is viewable by guests (including Google) and Slack is not, so to search the Slack history you need to log in to Slack and use the Slack search (which might be broken / paid in the future, etc)

> * They specified "America's fast food chains"; someone living in the US probably wouldn't qualify it with "America's".

I call that US-centrism. Quite annoying to non-Americans living in the States.

I can agree on children, was thinking about the other case

"forced to install the GNU toolset to make scripts work" is the extinguish part to my understanding

Yes, but the source is available and anyone can fix the bugs.

Maybe that was expected actually

It's very snappy. I'm honestly impressed. (Snappier opening apps than a new M1 I briefly had)

Re: dependents, should you not be allowed to kill yourself if someone (let's say a selfish spouse rather than your infant child) depends on you? That might even be the reason you don't want to live anymore...

But then you still need someone (your family) to "clean up" your body...

If you cannot edit via the browser, it's not a wiki

This is a really nice idea! Excellent encapsulation with minimal setup. You could slap a SOCKS proxy (via -D) on top of that for even more usability (although, oddly I find that these days all I ever need is DNS, HTTPs and SSH...)

What's Xlights? I found the website and your recommendation inspiring, but at the same I have no idea what this thing actually is...

At some point there were burners with speeds like 48x, and MAX reads at 48x, so the writed were in practice faster than reads (but only marginally)

This is answered in the comments section of the article. It was dominant in the place the author worked. Had 15k OS/2 workstations.

That's what happens when everyone runs their own site instead of posting things on big name social media.

I feel like at this point, Google could just officially disallow extensions blocking ads (or just Google ads?).

What's happening here is just stupid, IMO.
