Normally the use case is

• Constructed a long command, but it didn’t work for some reason.
• I go fix the reason it didn’t work
• I do the first thing again

It’s in my recent memory, but maybe there’s been 10 or so commands of me fixing stuff in-between.

That’s why you can add “:p” to the end just to print it.

The one people see me doing that gets a “huh?” Is:

~$ !find
find -type f -name '*blah*' -print0 | xargs -0 gzip
~$

“Wait! What did you do?” “Oh. Do you not know about bang?”

They’re Saxon

It’s on the box.

Whoa whoa whoa! We were all having a good time joking about killing people and you had to bring religion into it.

You’re missing the point that the universe is expanding uniformly. That means two points acceleration away from each other is dependent on their distance apart. The further they are from each other the faster they accelerate from each other.

So GP is right. We measure red shift and infer distance.

Right, but I don’t get why this thread is full of people talking about collisions. Even if it was moving at the speed of light (it’s not) it’s still billions of years away.

It would just prove our theory of universe inflation to be incorrect.

How steep is the learning curve there? Should I just go with Plex and keep it simple?

You’ve got it the wrong way round. Jellyfin is simple. I’ve never understood Plex.

They do. You look at it every time you see the contents of your disk. It’s just organised in a tree to make path based lookups fast and locate organises its database differently to make fast basename lookups.

.net

Anything I run in C# or similar seems to allocate 512GB of virtual address space and then just populates what it actually uses.

I’ve got a 12. I really like it.

Get a DIY one and put your own memory and SSD in it. You’ll save £$\€ over the framework prices for those. I paid about £750 total for my maxed out 48GB/2TB one. Then slap something like Fedora on it and you’re good to go.

I got a Lenovo slim pen 2 as the framework stylus isn’t out yet. Pairing required holding the buttons for ages, but works great after that.

It’s more my back than my knees

…or PCMCIA for short.

Go with a VM for FileMaker I’d have thought.

BTW Bonjour is known as multicast DNS in the non-apple world and the standard Linux way of supporting it is Avahi.

Agreed. The headline is terrible. Headline Case Doesn’t Help Either.

I think it’s cheese-stringification.

A lot of the security fixes since spectre have focused on exploiting speculative execution (a key CPU performance feature) to cross security boundaries. Defeating speculative execution when switching from user to kernel space (for example) adds a lot of overhead.

The new kernel add controls so that machines that don’t need to worry about these exploits to disable the performance killing fixes.

So I can never commit a test without also implementing the functionality?

That’s madness.

You’re both right. You’re both wrong.

• You write tests for functionality before you write the functionality.
• You code the functionality so the tests pass.
• Then, and only then, the test becomes a regression test and is enabled in your CI automation.
• If the test ever breaks again the merge is blocked.

If you only write tests after you’ve written the code then the test will test that the code does what the code does. Your brain is already polluted and you’re not capable of writing a good test.

Having tests that fail is fine, as long as they’re not part of your regression tests.
