Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats the worst book anyone has ever recommended you?
9·6 days agoYeah, the Dark Tower series was a big ol’ DNF for me. I just wasn’t really able to get invested in anything. I stopped at the part with the train.
If you want more help with Bash in the future, this is the best resource I’ve found in 13 years of writing bash professionally: https://mywiki.wooledge.org/EnglishFrontPage
Bash FAQs and pitfalls are the primary sections to look at there.
Thank you for providing the easiest and most portable answer. This will handle files with special characters perfectly unlike most of the responses here which rely on a
whileloop (to say nothing of aforloop ).
Shell scripts are one of the worst possible applications of an LLM. They’re trained on shit fucking GitHub scripts, and they give you shit in return.

Programming@programming.dev•AI Is still making code worse: A new CMU study confirms
7·10 days agoSenior dev doing devops shit here, this comment is so fucking real. The C levels zooted out of their fucking gourds on AI jenkem don’t get how fucking ass LLMs can be.
You may have a bit of a hard time finding something that’s completely FLOSS that’s not on the older side (the sar visualizer being a Java desktop application being a consequence of that age). There are various ways to dump resource usage into a time series database like Prometheus (Apache2), InfluxDB (Apache2/MIT), or VictoriaMetrics (Apache2) and then visualize it with a frontend (Grafana, APGL). The database is going to be the tricky part. All of the time series DBs I’m aware of are permissively licensed. Grafana may be a good fit for you, however. It’s written in Go so it’s relatively light, although it obviously requires a browser to interact with.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update improves and breaks dark mode
5·12 days agoArch is a pretty good one if you want to control and tinker. I have personally found it to be very reliable over the years, and the AUR is exceptionally powerful (although you NEED to review your PKGBUILDs, there’s nothing stopping someone from putting malware on the AUR again). The packaging format is so simple and easy that I actually build a few performance-critical packages locally so I can tweak compiler flags (gimmie that
-march native).Nix is cool and kinda crazy, but honestly? I’d hold off until you’re comfortable with Arch. Same with Gentoo.
Same, this is the first I’ve heard of him. He sounds like a real fucking piece of shit.

Technology@lemmy.world•Rebble · Core Devices Keeps Stealing Our Work [Update: see comment]
51·27 days agoYep, this is why we use GPL! Using a permissive license is like lending money to a friend—you should never, ever expect to get your money back. “Good” companies aren’t altruistic, they’re ruthlessly self-interested. They’re not going to give back to your project unless there’s a damn good reason for them to do so. There are times when permissive licenses are totally fine (like when writing some kinds of libraries), but if you care about freedom of an application then you should stay the fuck away from MIT, Apache, BSD, or any other permissive license. Just use the GPL, folks.
edit: Using GPL from the getgo would have prevented this atrocity from occurring: https://github.com/coredevices/libpebble3/commit/35853d45cd0ec51cb732be866f6f72467653a613
They couldn’t have relicensed the project without community approval if it had been using a copyleft license in the first place.
Also, fuck off with your fucking AGPL license with a copyright transfer CLA bullshit. I’d love to see a new version of the AGPL that expressly prohibits copyright transfers. Never let a company take your rights away from you. A copyright license makes even the GPL effectively meaningless if the company wants to rug pull at a later date.

Technology@lemmy.world•Unremovable Spyware on Samsung Devices Comes Pre-installed on Galaxy Series Devices
382·28 days agoYeah, that’s a “block and move on with your day” sort of account for sure.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do you need, want and/or have a gun/guns?
11·28 days agoThat was my interest as well. I never liked the idea of hunting or using guns for self defense. I grew up target shooting, and it was great because it was a sport that a weak asthmatic kid with a flimsy ribcage could take part in. I don’t really do it anymore because I got tired of being around other shooters and I don’t really want to support the industry, but I miss it sometimes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Americium: How a small element could power the next century of space exploration
4·28 days agoYep, and it’s still used in some new ones.
I’m hoping you get some good answers. I can’t wear long sleeves in my unheated machine shop (long sleeves + lathe = Very Bad™), and a 20 amp breaker can’t run a lathe and an electric heater simultaneously. I’ve got a diesel heater out there, but it’s just not enough to keep a drafty cinderblock building warm. I get pretty chilly out there, and some kind of battery heated vest would go a long way.
How close does it match this machine translation?
Fuck me until the room stinks
Holy shit this sounds rad as fuck. I hope you do eventually write that book.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can anyone recommend some extremely comfortable men's shoes that come in at least an EE wide width for every day wear?
1·1 month agoI bought some SAS leather sneakers this year (I have the opposite problem, my feet are VERY narrow) and I’m hoping they’ll hold up. They seem quite well made, but I’ll have to keep a close eye on them now.

Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia reveals Vera Rubin Superchip for the first time — incredibly compact board features 88-core Vera CPU, two Rubin GPUs, and 8 SOCAMM modules
4·1 month agoYeah, 88/2 is weird as shit. Perhaps the GPUs are especially large? I know NVIDIA has that thing where you can slice up a GPU into smaller units (I can’t remember what it’s called, it’s some fuckass TLA), so maybe they’re counting on people doing that.

Linux@lemmy.ml•[Q] Is it possible to reinstall Linux without losing Dropbox?
26·2 months agoThis is the most important piece of information. You should edit the post and/or title to make this more clear.



Is this skeleton jelly?
