Since I saw a couple "read more"s - my trick, if you’d like one, is to put a book on the turlet. I open it up when I’m urinating, too - but usually I hit a point where I’m into the story enough where I start taking the book and reading it as my activity. But I’ve certainly taken months to get through a book just using bathroom time for nonfiction, less narrative stuff.

Cackled, I’ll have to try and get this working on Linux

Feels especially well timed, what with the new presidential rugpull coin announcement

It’s actually something that I’ve only experienced via my friends who experienced it as it was coming out, and who booby trap chats with memes related to it. My understanding is nowadays with flash out of the picture, it’s not something you can really experience the way it started, right?

Lol, did you know it’s possible to make GUI applications for desktops that don’t use a browser as a platform? It’s a lost art, but at one time, it was how every application worked. Incredible, really

You can use bash in jupyter, yep, but I’m one of those nerds who dislikes the idea of using a web app for a shell, and it wouldn’t have the virtual filesystem implementation I mentioned. (This is an old thought for me I’ve just been too lazy to get around to)

A jupyter-notebook like approach, in which commands and history are kept in previous boxes and show outputs in limited boxes and we stop limiting ourselves to pretending we’re still using teletypes but maintain the power pipes bring to unix. Also, all boxes are given filenames in a virtual fs that makes it easy to reference them or their output and treat them like a file, erasing the need to rerun a command to run something on its output because you forgot to save it.

Not just the area south - basically all the area in between the two cities. And yeah, it’s basically like saying “once you’re out of the cities, you might as well be in Kentucky.”

There’s a name for it the phenomenon: the AI effect.

Okay, I’ve never even heard of a Dalgona before, and that sounds incredible. Like somewhere basically incredible hot chocolate is the default coffee

Also use it around your co-workers and peers who have children and would recognize it when you want to really get under their skin, it’s skibidi sigma on cap

Nah that’s rizzler shit on God sigma 10k

This sounds delicious. Where is here so I can be there?

Finally I can add to the list:

• Fix Or Repair Daily
• Found On Road Dead

and now,

• Frequently Off Recording Device

That’s most of what we do today.

Every web app you use right now - which is most of your day for most users - is just a dumb terminal UI hitting some API on some foreign computer.

Plan 9 uses the file system as a way of interacting with apis. Linux took this idea directly by copying in the/proc filesystem from 9, which are not bytes on a disk but are instead the kernel presenting its running processes in the format of files and directories in your file namespace, and with which you can interact to control those processes.

It also took this idea and created FUSE - file systems in user space - so that you can do the same thing on Linux as a user, but with not quite the same ease you have on plan 9 - and notably, fuse file systems are not naturally network file systems, and so you can’t export them as easily to the network as you can with nine machines, where it’s implicit.

Last, Linux took the idea of per-process namespaces from 9, setting the stage for all of the docker, snap, etc. tools we use today.

In short, a lot of nine already is mainstream because it’s been adopted by Linux. However, using plan 9 and then returning back to Linux feels like putting on bulky gloves, because Linux did not start with these concepts in mind, but bolted them on after.

Yep, and notably - add 15 minutes, because that’s about how long it takes to fall asleep on average. You can use sleepyti.me as a calculator if you’re lazy like me and want to know when to go to bed

The classic joke: “Do you know how journalists count? ‘One, two, trend’.”

It’s convenient. Can’t hurt to get used to it, for sure, in that it’s useful to not have to go through dependency hell installing things sometimes. It’s based on kernel features I don’t see Linus pulling out, so I think you’ll only see it more.

As someone who runs nix-only at home, I mostly use its underlying tech in the form of snaps/flatpaks, though. I use docker itself at work constantly, but at home, snaps/flatpaks tend to do the “minimize thinking about dependencies and building” bit but in a workflow more convenient for desktop applications.
