The picture called “Upstream and Prism programs” has the old logotypes for Yahoo, Hotmail, etc, and the old garamond version of the google logo, they must have been doing this for a while.

No, my passport has my real name of course, with “å”. In the airport system and on the boarding pass my name was spelled with “aa”.

I had to convince people to let me on board a plane because my name contain a swedish letter (å). Their computer system translated it into “aa”, which then didn’t match my passport.

And after you have learned Linux, download any distro that lets you work on your projects with the least hassle and get work done without fiddling around in every aspect of the OS. At least that’s what I’ve observed among older users who see the OS as a tool and not a hobby in itself.

Where I work, the fax was a way to ensure that information could be sent in multiple ways, if one way would fail. In the medical field (at least where I live) we must have systems with backup systems in a few layers. We have a nice digital medical chart system, and I still have to print out many things and put in a binder that no one ever reads. Because the internet could stop working, or electricity could fail. We even have routines for which types of pen and paper can be used if we need to write things by hand while electricity is gone.

The torso is a tricky concept, there’s no good anatomical definition that makes sense. Is the pelvis included? The whole axial skeleton? Everyone knows the general idea of where the torso is, but it’s hard to define with precision.

Peter Sunde said that the show is not a fair description of what happened and that it’s missing the focus on what was important.

It’s like the first time I saw the movie Trash Humpers (2009), I was thinking to myself: is this a good movie? It isn’t. But, the beauty of that movie is that it exists. There’s no deep hidden symbolism, it’s a bunch of old people in long awkward scenes where they literally hump trash. The lack of a coherent plot adds to the question why they do that. In this world of endless choices and struggling, these people are trash humpers. And that’s respectable in a whole aspect.

In an ideal world, dodging questions would lead to decreased popularity. Politicians should feel that if they give bullshit answers, they will not get elected. To get there, we must actually demand, reward, and punish with the power we have, our votes. Of course, one person doing it makes no difference. We need to convince others that this is important.

The same arguments about learning vi/vim/neovim holds for ed. It’s not intuitive, you need to get used to it, you need to learn, etc. People choose not to learn vim for the same reason vim users don’t want to learn ed.

It’s a text editor. It all began with the ed editor, which is very simple and does one thing, it edits files. Then someone extended it into the ex editor. Then someone added a new feature: being able to visually see the file you’re editing, which became vi, the visual editor. Then someone improved that, into vim. What began as an editor where you needed to be fluent in regular expressions but otherwise was simple, is now a very complex editor, moving the functionality of the old UNIX tools into the editor itself.

hello fellow sdf’er :) I specifically chose SDF so I could choose what to block myself, and so far I have just blocked a lot of anime. Anything political I see is leftist.

Does ex(1) count as specialized/higher ed? On BSD systems I just use standard ed(1).

If you don’t mind me asking, how is this affecting you? How do you feel about it?

Is this something she expects you to figure out for her?
If I were you, I’d explain that you’re open to try anything in any way that she is willing to try with you, but the initiative must come from her. You are there for her to help her figure it out, if she’s interested in trying something.
If she is interested in exploring this, she will. If she is not, well, then nothing you can do will help or convince her. Instead it could become a stressful expectation in itself.

After reading this I was at the local grocery store and counted 17 different kinds of bearnaise they sell. Sweden loves bearnaise.

I am partial to pdksh, mainly because when I read it I hear a drummer going “ba-dum-tschh” like at the end of a joke, which is how I see most of my sed invokations.

Only for a while, because I heard that it’s the year of Linux on the desktop this year, so… I guess the rest of the world will join us pretty soon.
