Cutting paper is annoying to get straight without a paper cutter.

That a4 x 11" document size prints correctly on A4 or letter without scaling or cropping (the margins just change)

We can protest and complain all we want at the end of the day stores are built for their customers and men and women shop differently.

We may not like what it says about the world.

That’s exactly it. If I suggest your children read LotR or Harry Potter or Narnia, I’ve done nothing special, nothing interesting, nothing worthy of accolades from my peers.

But if I convince them to read New Shit and the Current Thing then everything is golden.

Imagine how the teachers felt who suggested Potter before it went big. That’s a high many will chase.

Drop the “super” and you have something more correct / hero-based books are popular with boys and men.

"Harder to get boys into books" means "scholastic sales are down" - it's hard for me to believe that with 50,000 + novels that we can't find any that are appealing - but they're not scholastic "new" and they don't move the money the way they need.

A boy (or girl! They're allowed to read, too now, like Belle) buying a copy of The Hobbit doesn't help much, they need consumption of the new mass-produced stuff to keep the machine running.

Media is not produced to satisfy an audience's desires; that's only indirectly and coincidental; more and more.

Media is produced to satisfy an executive's desire, which is often based on what they think the audience wants, but sometimes is based on what they think the audience should want.

Much less memory usage, too; each "vscode" window/tab takes a few GB, a claude in a terminal is 200mb.

I think the color variations and joining characters should be allowed without limit or reason, and up to the font if it wants to support an amalgamesh of fifty five different “people” emojis in twenty colors.

It was part of the whole Internet/libertarian bent of the time; very Snowcrash.

I started with Ubuntu because it was more up to date than CentOS or Debian and didn’t require a ton of weird repos to get a modern LAMP stack.

Those days are likely done.

Software is either 0.0.12 or 20x6.99

It depends on the recruiter and how they work - someone asking for $X-Y when the role is $1.2Y could indicate that there's a role mismatch or a duty mismatch.

Tons of people wanted (and still want) a CyberTruck, but at something like a $40k price point.

Those people are just as loud as others, but never actually buy, because a $40k CyberTruck never existed.

Just like any text editor is doomed to become either Emacs or Word, so any image editor is doomed to become Photoshop.

This is also from the era (and probably still true today) where it is easier as a mid-level dude in the Army to get an armed escort to another location than it is to get permission to mail something USPS.

It's always 50/50, you're either fucked or you ain't.

I think this time around it's mainly Alpine Linux and a few custom-rollers (Gentoo with musl could easily get to this place).

Randomly using a different users's hash seems so wrong to me, but maybe I've just been too deep in PII stuff for too long.

Don't most cloud providers default to that? I know I had to force some to deploy with a key and even then PasswordAuth was often on and had to be disabled.

Alpine matches the first.

Disabling PAM has been "generally good security advice" for decades; I remember suggestions to not use it in the 2000s.

Password logins are often enabled, especially on multi-user and default setups.

If alpine uses the * feature, it's going to be pretty common. Gentoo has it, as does Ubuntu.

If password logins are enabled, you're almost guaranteed to have at least one user with a password (root on all my boxes has one, even if I never use it and it's random garbage).

So the cheese lines up pretty well, this affects quite a bit.

If password logins are enabled, someone almost certainly has a password.

Ugh! HN got me, too

The real name of this is sshole - the is the "star" of the show, after all.

It died because personal computers got too powerful so nobody bothered designing and building “true” multiuser systems (that bored college students were trying to break).

I remember burning a ream of paper printing the DooM FAQ

The dirty secret is multi-user died in the 90s and privilege escalation has basically been considered table-stakes since then.

Usually it’s just two AIs chained together, so you need to have it repeat the prompt.

This is literally what bonding and insurance is for.

As an aside, a decent number of very guilty murderers have support among family and friends, especially because nobody wants to believe they're family or friends with a murderer; much easier to believe the story.

It’s also sounding like they’re arguing the ballot should have been a foregone conclusion in which case why have the vote at all?

I have a large list of improvements I could ask for, mainly from juggling various AI terminal agents and not wanting to go full tmux.

* Ability to programmatically start and stop terminal tabs

* Multiple rows of tabs

* Full, reliable control of the formatting and color of a tab and its contents

* Tabs fully independent of but still capable of using the terminal's advanced features (read - you can restart the host terminal without closing everything)

All of these are done by at least one terminal program on Mac, none does all.

The answer is all of it and yes.
