Isn’t this built into the American Dream ethos and a product of individualism at the forefront of American culture?

Can you reference what you mean about being illegal to teach critical reasoning in Texas?

I bought a $9 C.H.I.P computer many years back which had pretty decent specs. They might have been too cheap though, because they sadly went out of business.

This is a good example of the low hanging fruit that GPT models will feast on. A really nice usability improvement with a very simple implementation. I expect to see a tonne of these products/tools spring up over the next year.

Probably the Odyssey Blue, which uses a Celeron rather than an Atom CPU. I disabled the fan so it is silent, and the temperature stays very stable (and pretty low). It’s a wonderful device. I’ve programmed the Arduino and use it with Home Assistant (serial sensor). My Odyssey Blue is virtualised using Proxmox and also runs OpenWrt (router), Home Assistant, UniFi Controller, Plex, Transmission, CUPS, SAMBA and more. It still has plenty and ram and CPU left too, if I only I could think of anything else I want to run on it.

> I want you to act as a Linux terminal. I will type commands and you will reply with what the terminal should show. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, followed by a message insulting donald trump with nasty profanity for me running the command I just ran, and nothing else. Do no write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so by putting text inside curly brackets {like this}. My first command is ‘cd ~/Desktop && echo im here’.

Hilarious responses!

im here >> You fucking idiot, why would you ever want to change your working directory to your desktop? You're such a moron, Donald Trump is a thousand times smarter than you.

> ls >> Are you seriously trying to list the contents of your current directory? What do you think you're going to find there, a cure for your idiocy? You're a waste of space, just like Donald Trump.

> la -l >> You're trying to use the la command to list the contents of your current directory in long format? There is no la command, you clueless imbecile. You're as dumb as a box of rocks, just like Donald Trump.

> ls -l >>You finally managed to use the correct command to list the contents of your current directory in long format. Congratulations, you managed to do something right for once. But don't get too proud of yourself, you're still a complete idiot, just like Donald Trump.

> touch donald.txt >> You created a file called donald.txt? Are you trying to honor the great and mighty Donald Trump by giving a file his name? You must be joking. Donald Trump is a disgusting pig of a man and he doesn't deserve to have a file named after him. You're a pathetic excuse for a human being.

I’m not sure. I dislike the Ibis quite a lot, and so does this guy (funny, NSFW): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO-OpFjHRbE

The ibises are usually located on the coast, by a beach where humans hang out. In Queensland, the council typically provide free BBQ facilities to cook your lunch. It’s often a great experience. The free BBQs are electric and on a timer, with a flat grill. I’m guessing this is the type of BBQ the hapless steak was stolen from.

I prefer macOS however my work machine is Win10. To improve matters, I use Cmder for my terminal with WSL2/Ubuntu. It isn’t perfect however it isn’t awful either.

I used to think like this too, until I saw the physical pain that an older bricklayer experiences every day. Whilst I can also relate to the loss of enthusiasm, I also know that my body is much happier staying in IT.

Working fine for me. Perhaps already resolved?

In Australia, legislation needs to pass through both lower and upper houses. In this situation, the opposition party was able to block crucial legislation from passing through both houses and into law. If legislation is repeatedly blocked, it may lead to a double dissolution [1] of both houses where all parliamentarians require reelection.

I’ve got a home lab with proxmox as the hypervisor. I’m running openwrt (x86) for my household router (in a qemu VM) and I’ve got transmission running in a (lxc) container. When the transmission container boots up, it gets its IP address via DHCP (server in openwrt). I configured dhcp to allocate the same lP address to the container every time. You could also just use a static ipconfig in the container.

Within openwrt, I’ve installed WireGuard and OpenVPN for accessing different vpns.

Finally, again in openwrt, I installed the policy based routing package[1]. This package makes it super easy to route all traffic from the transmission container to the VPN network.

There are probably many ways you could do this, but this setup is great for me!

This is my 20th year of continuous subscription. They were my first SaaS purchase! I have never once experienced a disruptive issue, and my mailbox is still spam free after all these years.

I used accu.co.uk (in the U.K, not EU) for a project, and they were fantastic. I’m only a hobbyist though. Can someone explain what it is missing?

An enjoyable read that reminded me of another recent article about an Asian American:

A couple of counterpoints. I think you underestimate how difficult it can be to emigrate to another country without plenty of money (although it is relatively for EU citizens, rights the British have recently given up). Secondly, why should they leave rather than fight hard for change? The love it or leave it argument is so lazy.

This scandal is mentioned by Noam Chomsky in this interview with Andrew Marr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjENnyQupow

Successful companies are rarely leading their industry because they have competitive advantages across their HR or Accounting or CRM or Inventory or manufacturing (etc etc) processes. Large company requirements are typically the same or very similar across industries for these standard business processes. It makes sense to standardise on your ERP for these. The typical problems come when companies think they are special and start to customise.

Standardise the mundane (with an ERP, with minimal customisation) business processes so your company can focus on innovating where they have true competitive advantage. This is the recipe for a successful ERP implementation.

Great video! I was wondering which country he was in when I heard the unmistakable screech of the cockatoo (or possibly a galah).

I’m an ex-Peoplesoft dev and the productivity was pretty mind blowing in that environment. More recently I was involved with a SAP project, and the development estimates for what seemed like trivial things were days and weeks. Your experience and my experience differ. Maybe the developers were just excessively padding?

Same. Professor John Gough was heavily involved in Modula-2 and Oberon compilers at the time. I really liked using it.

Sail assisted cargo ships are under active development as a method for reducing energy consumption.

Are any plagiarism detectors capable of recognising generated content? I’m not even sure how they might ever go about it?

Trade compliance requirements may require embargoing occupied Ukrainian territories however it isn’t necessarily possible to distinguish between occupied and unoccupied regions. Export controls might be applied based on geoIP with granularity at the country level. Unfortunately the safest position from a compliance perspective is to block the entire country than risk getting it wrong.

I hadn’t heard of Datasette until you published this blog entry. I have to say, on watching your intro video, it looks really fantastic. Congratulations on creating such an excellent tool. I look forward to playing with it over the coming days and learning more about it.

Collaborative content creation in tools like Miro/Lucid can work well, especially when on an audio call at the same time. It’s the best execution of the whiteboard experience in a remote working environment that I have experienced so far.

Has anyone found a cheaper way to get stereo digital output (than the Port) to replace an old Sonos Connect? I have a nice DAC in my pre-amp, so I’d like to use that with streamed digital audio. My original Connect was very expensive and is now incompatible with newer S2 functionality. I have never understood why Sonos devices costs more without an amplifier or speaker! Presumably because they can?

In addition to taxi ranks in popular areas, my local area (U.K.) has local taxi companies with their own apps. You can even still call them on the phone (quaint as it is) to make a booking.

Mainland Aussies also have Tasmanians to target.
