That's pretty much the opposite of mansplaining.
Mansplaining is when you're talking condescendingly to someone, while mistakenly assuming you have superior knowledge.

If that someone has asked you "Why?", or any question for that matter, then you'd need to start explaining something completely unrelated, in order to mansplain.

Yeah, the one (and very likely only) time I went to IKEA, I bought almost nothing, because the whole store was just one big stampede, pressing through that singular path.

The post was ultimately just an ad for an Indian tech company. And yeah, looked very ChatGPT, so not worth reading in my opinion.

So, what this meme is about, is that Windows upgrades typically overwrite the bootloader.

The user has installed a bootloader with the ability to select between multiple operating systems (typically GRUB) and then Microsoft comes along and undoes this change without asking.

If the bootloader and instructions for dualbooting were from Microsoft, that would imply that they wouldn't keep overwriting GRUB, or at least that the bootloader they overwrite it with, still allows you to select your other operating system.

Microsoft has no interest in fixing this, because they're the monopolist. Continuously interfering with the use of alternative operating systems allows them to keep their competition small.

Not a fan of it using Electron and a proprietary license.

But I also actually like this workflow. Being able to note things in my regular text editor with the keybindings I know, is quite important to me.
Well, and an even more personal preference, but my way of using a desktop OS involves a lot of workspaces, so the global shortcut to summon a new editor window on the current workspace actually gets a lot of use.

You can probably just do sleep 5 && grim as the program to run.

It depends on your desktop environment or window manager, how you'd bind a command to a keybind.

A few years ago, I got put into the same room as an extremely Catholic colleague and the kind of jackass who'd start discussions about everything.

And yeah, my only luck was that I was a 'better' Christian than him in every discipline. Well, you know, apart from being a heretic.

I believe, you've posted a windowssucks post...

I've got various text files in Markdown format.

I also use a small CLI program to loosely manage them. Basically, it just creates a new file in a predetermined folder and opens it in my text editor, which I've bound to a global shortcut, so it's just one keypress for me to start jotting something down.
Well, and then it also allows searching through all note files and things like that.

Kein Plan, vielleicht hilft's ja. Ein Merz hat keine Führungsqualitäten, sondern nur Miesepeterqualitäten. Also wenn ich irgendwie politisch unentschieden wäre, wäre das für mich ein Argument in Richtung Grün.

I hear, it actually significantly increases the chance of the miracle occurring when you pass the array into multiple threads. It's a very mysterious algorithm.

 
 

So, this uses a macro, but if you're thinking anything is possible with a macro, it's actually not in Rust. The input does still need to parse as valid Rust tokens.

Which means the authors asked themselves at some point: Is the Rust syntax a superset of the Python syntax?
And well, it's not. In particular, some Python keywords will just be tokenized as an identifier (like a variable name).

But it is close enough that the authors decided against requiring a massive string to be passed in, which does amuse me. 🙃

We often talk about the climate impact based on greenhouse gases, but extracting fuel from the ground and using it in exothermal processes of course also releases energy as heat.

This is mostly¹ in contrast with renewables, which make use of energy that's not long-term contained to begin with, so would end up as heat in our atmosphere anyways.

So, my question is: Does the amount of energy released by non-renewables have any notable impact on our global temperature? Or would it easily radiate into space, if we solved the greenhouse gas problem?


¹) In the case of solar, putting up black surfaces does mean that less sunlight gets reflected, so more heat ultimately gets trapped in our atmosphere. There's probably other such cases, too.

 
 
 
 

Hi, I just read online that you can apparently run apt --fix-broken install.

I wanted to know, what that really does, but both apt --help and man apt only show a high-level summary of the subcommands and flags. The --fix-broken flag is never mentioned, and presumably many others neither.

Is there some way to access documentation for all subcommands and flags?
