You’re not specifically paying for an emoji, either. You’re paying to use emojis on “servers” other than the one they were uploaded for.

Very interesting talk but rather painful to listen to.

framework/d/actor/d_a_link. Can’t say anything about the taste.

Imagine letting your computer decide how you’re gonna use it 😖

You could’ve made it -halF

Nushell is awesome. Passing structured data instead of strings makes mangling it so much easier. No more repeated string parsing.
My only gripe is that the devs sometimes make the syntax different from virtually every other shell only for the sake of being different.
It’s still my daily driver.

I think that term gets confused frequently in this context. Stability as the Debian team likely uses it means mostly static APIs. Meaning a stable interface to develop software against.
The way the users mostly understand it means stable software, no major bugs or crashes.
And while those two are linked, they’re not the same. Anecdotally, I’ve used Arch for over 10 years and had only three breakages. Two because I forgot to check for manual intervention before upgrading and one because the battery of the laptop died during an upgrade. All were easily fixed from a live environment, no reinstall necessary. Yes, there were bugs and even crashes in software, but those were upstream issues. I admit that’s not a distinction a user is likely to make. I still consider Arch the most stable distro I’ve ever used.

The latest version of anything is at least 6 months old.

The kicker is, everything you mentioned is intended behavior.

• animals wander around (maybe implemented just to make things more lively)
• creatures get splattered with whatever liquids are splashing around (perhaps initially implemented to have dwarfs get splattered with blood on a kill or to have things gradually get wet close to a waterfall)
• animals clean themselves, licking off whatever dirt there is

All these mechanics just naturally interact, by virtue of being implemented in a generic way, which allows for this amazing emergent behavior.
IIRC the bug was that the amount of booze ingested by the cats during cleaning wasn’t scaled correctly to how much splatter they received or should’ve. Either way they ended up with excessive amounts of alcohol and overdosed immediately.

Use the money you got from killing rhinos to save the ones you didn’t kill yet? Sounds like a stupid, losing bet.

Go full Home Alone.

Exactly. It only has to beat the user by a small margin.

No! They don’t want a formalised language. They’d much rather explain and re-explain in English, then repeatedly correct the mistakes the clanker inevitably makes. And spend at least the same amount of time as a skilled programmer would.
But I get why managers think that skilled labour can easily be replaced with LLMs. Their jobs of writing emails and occasionally creating presentations, that may or may not match information they received from more skilled personnel, can absolutely be done by an LLM.

I think Stephen Fry famously tripped over this one.

Also “pocketed it.”

Maybe try a phone that isn’t trash as soon as the battery dies. Something repairable.

That’s a cute little puddle jumper.

Keep in mind, you can’t squish them.

You can verify that assumption by taking today’s grocery prices and transform them into 1963 prices by adjusting for inflation in reverse. Let us know what you find out.

We learned nothing and forgot the rest 🤦
