The IDF hasn’t announced how they were terrorists yet.



Are split peas and chickpeas not beans?

This is 90s thinking. Why must terminal emulators only be text and only do things that a physical terminal could?

I keep trying to imagine what abandoning TTY interfaces in Linux would look like and I can’t comprehend the rework that would be required. It’s so fundamentally different.

For example, how would the SSH protocol work? How would that be compatible? Would we have to abandon SSH or always X forward?

There is definitely a pressure to extend beyond standard TTY. Tmux captures mouse action and has a window management system. fish shell has autocomplete. But both of these still use the same medium of text.

I may simply lack imagination.

TIL viu exists.

I think the issue fundamentally is that this isn’t what terminal emulators are. The terminal emulator initializes a TTY session and enters a shell environment (sh, zsh, fish, etc). The medium is text and cannot be anything else.

Begin able to view images in the terminal would be amazing alone - just like you can cat a text file. I would hate to need to launch a GUI program every time I wanted to see what was inside a text file but that is exactly what I need to do for images or PDFs.

Would be convenient. There are things like neofetch’s backend capabilities that magically embeds images, but I don’t know how it works and it might not be scalable.

Being able to collapse the output of a command would be nice as well.

Skill issue. Pipe your output to something (like a file or the “less” command)

FBI not eff-bee-eye.

NTP not en-tee-pee.

RNC not arr-en-cee.

I’ve never read a Star Wars book but this makes me unreasonably unset upset.

Its not just the volume of publishing, but the conclusion of the paper if you publish a paper and the result is boring (the X had negligible impact on Y but its inconclusive) you might still put your grant at risk.

It’s called a LTS (Long Term Support) builds versus the current build. There is even sometimes ELTS (Extended Long Term Support)

Kids these days don’t even know how to rig an election. What are they even teaching in schools.

Wake me up when CNN anchors start referring to Taiwan as “West Hawaii”

Why not both!

No country takes action based on moral grounds. They only take action for their self interest. This is international relations 101. Sometimes these align! Sometimes… not so much.

What Taiwan has done is made the “good” outcome (Taiwan remains free and independent) align with the US’s self interest (having computers and a tech based economy).

The US will always exert power over Taiwan, so will China. That’s just what great powers do. However, China doesn’t need to threaten an invasion to do this. There is no reason China can’t relinquish their claim on Taiwan and just build a casual trade relationship with Taiwan.

but we expect to produce “thousands upon thousands” of fancy new drones?

I think Taiwan can absolutely help support the US in producing thousands upon thousands of new drones.

Yes. Defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion that threatens their sovereignty. One that is continuously threatened by China and one Taiwan actively prepares for.
