The second y in Syyu is almost always unneeded and just wastes time and bandwidth. Is i remember correctly, it only makes sense when for example you switch mirrors

He actually could have just let it operate like normal

We both could have done that. But I’m not sure he could have.

In his defense, what else could he have done with it? Run it like a normal business? He’s incapable of that, best he can do is state-subsidized overpromising stuff, and there was no angle for that with Twitter.

I wouldn’t say destroyed, but it definitely watered down the brand. Twitch was funded as a game streaming website as opposed to the site it branched off of, which was Justin.tv - a site that was for live-streaming yourself, so theoretically perfect for just chatting, hot tubs and beaches etc. Sure, that site doesn’t exist anymore, but I think it would have been better to create a new site for this kind of content, possibly even share the accounts etc with twitch if the user wants (or even use different profiles per site that ultimately link to the same user). Sure, Twitch doesn’t really care because there’s no real competition, the business is super hard and probably still deficit even for a giant like Amazon.

Like, it feels at times you went on twitch and the first thing you saw were barely clothed women and gambling. I don’t have a moral problem with either, but it raises questions about a site’s identity and their target audience.

Yeah sorry, I kind of went on a tangent.

Regarding the source, I was under the impression that manufacturers get some kind of devkit for the SoC that works against a given kernel version (one of the LTS ones Android usually uses) and binary drivers for the non-open parts. One could sue the manufacturer after buying a phone and demand release of the source, but this won’t hit meditated because the vendors won’t go after them or their license gets terminated. Legally difficult but similar to the grsecurity situation: yeah you have rights, but if you exercise them, we choose not to do business with you anymore.

Shameful situation and I think Google wanted to get out of this legal area when they developed Fuchsia as this concept would solve technical and legal issues for manufacturers.

I’m not sure where this discussion stemmed from because from my knowledge, the Fairphone does allow custom ROMs, though you lose some boot security functionality? I didn’t read too much into it yet

There is a semi-recent thread about Mediatek at https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/comments/1cuwkm0/lies_about_mediatek/ where it started that their source code is incomplete, they don’t provide it at all. Hence no manufacturer can mainline it. And this is one of the reasons custom ROM development for them is so slow compared to Qualcomm SOCs.

If a manufacturer wants to lock the bootloader, they can, true. But sometimes, you have phones in the same family where the Qualcomm chipset supports unlocking and the Mediatek one doesn’t. E.g. Xiaomi before they restricted unlocking further.

Mainline Linux support is a chipset feature, the manufacturer has little control over it. And even then, you have manufacturers like Mediatek that theoretically have full mainline support, but the bootloader is totally locked and no custom ROMs exist.

Duh

I really don’t care about people not being sober as long as they can function correctly.

Regardless of the rest you wrote that I disagree with, she crashed her car on the way to the flight that she was removed from, blaming the steering. Not sure how that would qualify as “function correctly”

So people from low trust score environments like Linux

Linux user here, Cloudflare hasn’t blocked access to a single page for me unless I use a VPN, which then can trigger it.

A lot of people have no idea about aviation safety, it shows in these kind of threads. I worked in aviation for about 5 years, so I at least have an idea, though I’m far from an expert (about a year as a technical officer in the German Air Force, more of a management role but you still get the basic safety courses like Maintenance Resource Management training, four years of procurement for a maintenance IT system), and how some people approach the subject stumps me. Flying isn’t the safest mean of travel because of its nature, but rather because of rigid rules at every step of the process that are enforced by supervisors and inspectors.

Literally heard this phrase Sunday: Accidents don’t happen – they’re caused.

I’m not worried. I don’t live my life around freak accidents. This really doesn’t need to be national news ruining her life if there wasn’t a crash before hand, that’s the real issue.

I mean she literally crashed her car on the way to the flight she was finally removed from? I agree it’s weird that this makes the news, but it’s probably because the case is so odd…

Expecting a shit wage employee to act better than cops (let’s set that bar real low) in a dangerous event is silly.

It’s shameful that Virgin pays so little. But then again it doesn’t excuse going on the job drunk. Don’t take the job, go on strike for better conditions, all fine by me. But don’t show up drunk to your job where you operate safety equipment. Too much to ask? Also I do expect cops not to be drunk

Probably, but then again that’s not the only possible accident; she was planned on an intercontinental flight that day, but it could just have been Rome or something; and even over the ocean, an aircraft has rafts, it might not save you in the very middle, but if you go down close to a coast, you want the crew to be able to handle emergency equipment and not be tipsy

I know you jest, but the flight attendants’ primary job isn’t catering, but safety. Some passengers seem to forget that. Passengers are required to follow their orders, not the other way around; their hospitality doesn’t mean they have to take one’s bullshit.

So yeah I’d personally prefer if the people in charge of safety on a flight weren’t intoxicated. Usually that’s a pilot privilege

I haven’t watched the video, but maybe it wasn’t in bad faith, but the author didn’t know better. bash can be arcane at times, like when I open my old scripts I often have no clue what exactly is going on without comments. Substring removal comes to mind.

I’m not even sure what strucrued data would really mean, so I’m pretty sure it’s not useful to my usecase lol

Probably not, but to give an easy example:

~> ls | where modified >= (date now) - 30day
╭───┬───────────┬──────┬────────┬────────────╮
│ # │   name    │ type │  size  │  modified  │
├───┼───────────┼──────┼────────┼────────────┤
│ 0 │ Downloads │ dir  │ 4,0 kB │ 4 days ago │
│ 1 │ Musik     │ dir  │ 4,0 kB │ a week ago │
╰───┴───────────┴──────┴────────┴────────────╯

Here, ls doesn’t just return a string representing directory content as text, but a table where each file is an entry with attributes that have their own data type (e.g. size is Filesize while modified is Datetime). That’s why I’m able to filter based on one of them; that part isn’t part of ls, but of the shell itself. In a classic shell, this filtering would need to be handled in the originating binary in its own specific way, or you’d need to parse its output, transform it using tools like sed and awk etc. This here is a special case because ls is built into the shell; for non-builtin commands, if they offer it, you can have them output structured data as json or something else and read it into nu, like

~> ip -j a | from json | where {|device| $device.address? != null and $device.addr_info? != [] and $device.link_type =~ "ether"} | get addr_info.0 | select -o local broadcast scope
╭───┬────────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────┬────────╮
│ # │                 local                  │    broadcast    │ scope  │
├───┼────────────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────┼────────┤
│ 0 │ 192.168.178.72                         │ 192.168.178.255 │ global │

It’s kind of cool, but I don’t need it that often either, so I just play around with it when I feel like it.

I’m glad you mentioned nushell (it sounds like) is a more poweruser thing.

It serves a different niche. nushell is very good for working with structured data. fish on the other hand is a “conventional” shell that’s not POSIX compliant. I guess that’s why they call it “a command line shell for the 90s” because it doesn’t incorporate modern concepts, it’s just more convenient than POSIX shells.

This results in some notable differences: nushell for example has actual data types (https://www.nushell.sh/book/types_of_data.html, though they are dynamically typed by default).

All this doesn’t mean that one is better than the other. I use fish daily and just sometimes dabble in nushell because most of my workflow doesn’t require all the stuff nu offers.

Oh yeah, I never used Python myself and did some very simple (but IMHO too much hassle in bash) Go stuff some time ago. It’s a really good language for that, and if you can’t build on the target, the binary is statically linked anyways.

What’s so bad about string replace World Bash $STRING?
