What even is plain text anymore? If you mean ASCII, ok, but that leaves out a lot. Should it include a minimal utf-8 detector? Utf-16? The latest goofy encoding? Should zcat duplicate the functionality of file? Generally, unix-like commands do one thing, and do it well, combining multiple functions is frowned upon.
I set up a mesh router pair a while back - super easy setup, and the speed is good enough to have multiple TVs streaming at once, and without needing to run cables between rooms… Worth it.
How do you propose zcat tell the difference between an uncompressed file and a corrupted compressed file? Or are you saying if it doesn’t recognize it as compressed, just dump the source file regardless? Because that could be annoying.
What’s the difference?
but the police still caught him.
Allegedly…
I could say the same about getting hit by a car, or falling off a scaffold, but I wouldn’t put myself in position to do either again…
It’s funny, because I didn’t consciously intend to hang up on her, it was very much a reflexive action. But moments later I realized I had missed the perfect opportunity to say “I’d like to see you try”
Spewing words does not make you eloquent.
Tl;Dr.
(Sorry, I had to)
Mine was Bartleby the scrivener… I preferred not to read for quite a long time after.
“This is my experience.”
“You’re wrong.”
How do you do something like this when most interviews happen during work hours?
My first call center job, my first year, someone threatened to kill me. 23 years ago, I still remember it. I answered the call, didn’t even get the first word of my greeting out, and this woman was screaming, “don’t hang up on me, you better not hang up on me, the last three people hung up on me, if you hang up on me I will come through the phone and KILL YOU!”
I hung up on her.
People can AI generate convincing CP images. Should those be allowed?
I don’t see why not, if nobody is being harmed in its creation. Just because something is disturbing doesn’t mean it needs to be illegal.
saying people should go kill a certain group.
Saying it doesn’t harm anyone, it’s the people doing it who cause harm, that seems pretty clear cut to me.
Not so much volume, but just the different options available. Example, if food is subsidized, then food vendors can increase prices to soak up the excess. But if people just get money, and food vendors try to soak it up, people can spend their money on building a greenhouse and growing their own vegetables. If every industry tries to raise prices, at some point it becomes worthwhile for people to do things themselves, then trade with each other, undercutting the larger industries. Basically, the libertarians’ wet dream could actually happen with UBI.
I think that’s a difference between subsidizing specific things vs subsidizing all the things.
And those who are content to sit at home or not work, is fine by me. Because I’ve worked with a lot of people over the years who only have a job because someone told them they needed a job. They were miserable fucking people to be around and we were more productive the days they called in sick or skipped. Some people should be paid to stay the fuck at home, and society would be a better place for it.
This needs repeating - so here I am repeating it. I’ve worked with those same people, hell I’ve been that person when I was working the only job I could find, absolutely didn’t want to be there, but needed the money so couldn’t afford to be taking the time to find where I did want to be.
do you believe capatilism can co-exist with UBI?
UBI might be the only thing that can save capitalism.
Eh, I’m talking about speech that isn’t the direct result of real harm being done. I think the distinction is pretty clear don’t you?
That’s easy to say when you have an abundance of time…
