Yes but have you considered the amazing power of coal?

Good God… I don’t even think there’s a place in my entire town that charges that much. :(

Another potential route: your public library. Mine prints for 5¢ per page and has a web interface for uploading documents from anywhere and printing them when you go in.

I think one of Biden’s big missteps was to ban sales to China in the first place.

In the 6 years I’ve been with Firefox on Linux on my 9-year-old laptop, I could count on both hands the number of sites that didn’t render correctly, and on one hand the number that didn’t run or weren’t performant.

Maybe I’m just lucky, but I definitely feel for folks who are stuck with Chrome and all those ads.

I use Kagi’s AI search for things that are “unGooglable”, but you explicitly have to turn that on by adding a question mark to the end of the query. Otherwise, I use its standard search.

It does take a little bit longer to get answers, but there’s value in the struggle. I don’t want to become a braindead AI repeater.

It’s a national embarrassment at best.

Everyone who is conflicted must resign immediately.

Basically “does this JSON object contain at least these two properties, and is the value of one particular properties a string of digits followed by the letter ‘Z’”, for example.

I tried and failed to get an LLM to write jq code to do a regex based matcher for finding if one json object was a subset of another.

Gave up and learned it enough to get it going. jq is nutso powerful.

I certainly can’t speak for all educators and grade levels, but in my junior and senior CS courses, I don’t have them memorize anything and they gotta solve problems.

What is that core issue, in your opinion?

This is pretty much the only way to verify knowledge. And it’s kind of what interviewers do when they’re thinking about hiring someone for a job, right? Same goal.

One potential avenue that schools have, especially in college, is to let the students know that. You’re not up against the school; you’re up against the interviewer.

This academic year I’m going to try to set up a thing where we do mock interviews with students, hopefully with real interviewers from real companies. I want to show the students where they’re going, and what they really have to get ready for.

In my dream world, we wouldn’t even have grades or diplomas. After all, when we’re learning things on our own we don’t have those and yet somehow we manage to get the job done. But not having grades comes with its own set of problems in this academic structure we’ve set up.

On the simple side, Ghostwriter is a markdown editor with no frills.

I also write my books in Vim. I use Pandoc to convert markdown to other formats.

But what if we use electrolytes?

This won’t work for you because it’s not enough space, but other people might consider paying money to a place like SDF. I think it was $3 a month (IIRC) for 800 GB of space, and it’s for a good cause.

I use rsync and gocryptfs to back my stuff up there. I also have local hard drives for backups.

Maybe there’s another pubnix that you can pay to get more storage.

Back in the day, I had local hard drives that I would mirror and sneakernet to my friend’s house every couple weeks. We’d trade drives and then we’d have an off-site.

If I weren’t using SDF, I’d probably set up a home server someplace or talk to a friend who already had one and rsync to that.

I’ve had no joy getting my Brother printer to share over the network with our macs… It seems like the mac sees it for a moment and then it vanishes. The closest Ive come is having the printer wake up when the Mac sent a job, but it didn’t print anything. Prints fine from Linux USB.

Someday I’ll give it a third attempt.

The service can determine what they accept as a password.

And what password manager you use, I think was the poster’s point.

This is why when Republicans claim to be pro-states rights nobody believes them.
