They cause a huge amount of load, deteriorating the service for everyone else. I’m also guessing the time ranges in the graph, where there’s no data, is when OP’s server crashed from the load and had to restart.

That kind of shit can easily trigger alerting and will look like a DDoS attack. I would be pissed, too, if I dropped everything to see why my server is going down and it’s not even proper criminals, but rather just some silicon valley cunts.

My best guess is that they don’t just index things, but rather download straight from the internet when they need fresh training data. They can’t really cache the whole internet after all…

It’s a joke, yeah. Well, or rather a meme. This was a real advertisement, before it got memed on pretty hard:

What I always find frustrating about that, is that even a colleague with much more Bash experience than me, will ask me what those options are, if I slap a set -euo pipefail or similar into there.

I guess, I could prepare a snippet like in the article with proper comments instead:

set -e # exit on error
set -u # exit on unset variable
set -o pipefail # exit on errors in pipes

Maybe with the whole trapping thing, too.

But yeah, will have to remember to use that. Most Bash scripts start out as just quickly trying something out, so it’s easy to forget setting the proper options…

I don’t have the Bash experience to argue against that, but from a general programming experience, I want things to crash as loudly as possible when anything unexpected happens. Otherwise, you might never spot it failing.

Well, and nevermind that it could genuinely break things, if an intermediate step fails, but it continues running.

Huh, so if you don’t opt for these more specific number types, then your program will explode sooner or later, depending on the architecture it’s being run on…?

I guess, times were different back when C got created, with register size still much more in flux. But yeah, from today’s perspective, that seems terrifying. 😅

What really frustrates me about that, is that someone put in a lot of effort to be able to write these things out using proper words, but it still isn’t really more readable.

Like, sure, unsigned is very obvious. But short, int, long and long long don’t really tell you anything except “this can fit more or less data”. That same concept can be expressed with a growing number, i.e. i16, i32 and i64.

And when someone actually needs to know how much data fits into each type, well, then the latter approach is just better, because it tells you right on the tin.

Oh man, a zero byte long unsigned integer? Lots of languages represent it as an empty tuple these days (the “unit” type), but from quickly scanning the documentation, it looks like HolyC doesn’t support tuples, so I guess you gotta get creative…

I think, the problem is that management wants the expert humans to use the non-expert tools, because they’re non-experts and don’t recognize that it’s slower for experts. There’s also the idea that experts can be more efficient with these tools, because they can correct dumb shit the non-expert tool does.

But yeah, it just feels ridiculous. I need to think about the problem to apply my expertise. The thinking happens as I’m coding. If I’m supposed to not code and rather just have the coding be done by someone/-thing else, then the thinking does not occur and my expertise cannot guarantee for anything.
No, I cannot just do the thinking as I’m doing the review. That’s significantly more time-consuming than coding it myself.

Can’t easily test this, but it might be possible to set the game itself to “Full Screen (Windowed)” and then tell Plasma to fullscreen the window. You can try this by launching the game and then pressing Alt+F3 to bring up the window menu. In there, you can fullscreen it through Plasma. You can also set a keyboard shortcut for this (I use Meta+F11).

Also has to be said that KDE on those slower-moving distros is actually buggier than on up-to-date distros. I have to use Kubuntu LTS at work and it has so many more glitches and crashes compared to openSUSE Tumbleweed and NixOS on my personal laptop.

A few years ago, I found Kaffeine and was so surprised that I never saw a video player before with controls in a collapsible sidebar.

Old screenshot, but this is what it looks like when a video is playing:

It seems like a rather obvious idea, but I guess, it doesn’t get copied much, because most video players don’t have a ton of controls to begin with…

Yeah, and you don’t have to know which fork to choose. Only the compatible fork will show up in the search.

(I was going to recommend that, but had something in the back of head, that you needed a manual step to enable the configuration. But I just saw that this is described in the Plasma 5 version, not the Plasma 6 fork, so I guess, it’s not necessary anymore…)

It is the first one, yes. Just the normal keyboard shortcut settings. And all the Krohnkite shortcuts are prefixed with “Krohnkite”, so you can find them easily.

I believe, that’s something which became impossible with Wayland?

But it wasn’t very good under X11 either. Even back then, it was much less clunky to use the various KWin scripts, which offer tiling. Well, and by now Plasma has built-in semi-automatic tiling, which those scripts basically just configure, so they do now feel quite smooth.

Should note that this is still a manual process. For auto-tiling, you want e.g. Krohnkite.

The one you linked is only for KDE Plasma 5. For Plasma 6, you would use this fork: https://codeberg.org/anametologin/Krohnkite

I’m genuinely baffled how many oligarchs had contact with Epstein. I do believe their primary job qualification is a lack of morals, but there’s so many ways to be amoral, you don’t have to all be friends with the guy that offers pedophilia.

Yeah, I understand that it isn’t as bad, but it doesn’t explain why they didn’t go with something that’s entirely non-bad. We have the technology.

Yeah, I often hear that. A few years ago, I tried to get into Krusader, because I also liked some of the features it has, but after two weeks or so, I realized that I don’t use the file manager nearly often enough to make progress in learning a different workflow. 😅

Well, and I also kind of had the problem that navigating into directories is quite fast on the terminal, especially with Fish shell, so I often do that there and then run open . to launch the GUI file manager for the thumbnails or dragging into other GUI applications.
And that Frankenstein workflow is kind of diametrically opposed to dual-pane file managers, where you really need to navigate to different locations in the respective pane from within the file manager. 🫠
