I really like how nushell can parse output into it's native structures called tables using the detect
command.
Unlike string outputs, tables allow for easy data manipulation through pipes like select foo
will select foo key and you can filter and even reshape the datasets.
This is great if you need to work with large data pipes like kuberneters so you can do something like:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces | detect columns | where $it.STATUS !~ "Running|Completed" | par-each { |it| kubectl -n $it.NAMESPACE delete pod $it.NAME }
This looks complex but it parses kubectl table string to table object -> filters rows only where status is not running or completed -> executes pod delete task for each row in parallel.
Nushell take a while to learn but having real data objects in your terminal pipes is incredible! Especially with the detect
command.
There's are few more shells that do that though nu is the most mature one I've seen so far.
UI designer here - people are simply getting dumber, tech-wise at least.
That being said, there have been a lot of improvements in UI and UX world in the past 20 years the problem is that many users are so technically inept the drag down the entire curve all the way down.
patents and copyright are pretty different though. IMO both are bad but you can at least make a case for protecting intelectual work from copying. Patents protect replication of ideas and ideas don't have to be unique at all. If I say it was my idea to call variables a,b,c,d,e in that order that means anyone who wants to do that in their creations needs my permission which is fucking bonkers.
I'm convinced that software patents exist purely for regulatory capture.
This is crazy that we tolerate such a breach of social trust.
it's stupid. I'm convinced that people who oversee software patents don't even know what's a computer.
even worse. software patents are just more idiotic copyrights.
Ah I missed this part of the article:
Yet within 24 hours, parliament tabled an emergency motion to reverse these changes - a move which has sparked widespread condemnation and fears of a constitutional crisis.
This does make sense now. It's just a very poorly written article :|
I don't see how removing the 20% requirement could mean this. Wouldn't that be the opposite? Less restrictions meaning more competition?
On Wednesday, Indonesia's top court ruled that parties would not need a minimum 20% of representation in their regional assemblies in order to field a candidate.
...
If passed, it would maintain the status quo, which favours parties in the ruling coalition of the outgoing president
How?
no uh, you wouldn't be happy to drive a Russian vehicle unless you like awful rides and literally death. There are no airbags or any modern safety features other than the seatbelt lol
Can someone spread around some guides on how to apply an everything. The crocodile tears would be incredible!
I find the whole thing so ugly even as a youtube plus subscriber. How much possibly you could gain here? isn't youtube already profitable and being run by one of the world's richest corporations? just let people watch and educate themselves and whatnot.
But lack of ability does not prevent any of that. Entrepreneurs who want to monetize stuff will find a way to spam and game the system.
As someone whos responsible for docs and public facing material I'd never push text only content these days. There's just way too much UX value left out with this limitation. Sometimes more is more.
Additionally I'd argue that people who only want text are have advantage in the current system as you can strip and reformat everything on the front end and nobody will ever know or bully you into accepting their system. Just like nobody cared about ad blockers before they were widely adopted.
I heavily disagree with this. Stepping back to "walls of text with hyperlinks" is a bad idea that'll service no one and will never succeed in any reasonable capacity.
Current web technology is not what caused bad web. The exception would be too powerful js where js should only provide interactivity and extra flavor to the page rather than run a full application which can fingerprint and punish user agents.
Javascript, embeded images and audio are awesome things that can improve content readability a thousand fold. Just look at best docs on the web - all of them use these features to tend their users. Even wikipedia added js flavoring like hover pop ups. Because it works.
Also these days it's all about rushing content and pandering to the lowest common denominator. Though pop tech channels were always this way. I stumbled on Unbox Therapy lately and it's so blatant that it almost feels illegal.
I really like The Verge. They have a few minor stumbles now and then and focuses a lot on pop tech but they got an incredible team and actually do care about the tech landscape.
They also publish several podcasts that are worth a listen. In particular I really like the Decoder with Nilay Patel (editor in chief) as he often has the balls to pushback a bit which is so rare in tech coverage. Recently he interviewed the founder of Replika - AI "friend" service founder - and I really enjoyed his pushbacks that really showed how little these founders care about AI itself and have no clear understanding other than $$$ it seems.
Just offer file downloads. I swear the society is regressing technologically speaking (not aiming at you OP)
As much as I despise the Olympics it does some entertaining moments!
Eh, it's the same thing. If LLM can help me design a better process for my day-to-day tasks even if it's not part of the process literally it's still part of the process. Just like any growth like reading a book is part of the business process.
Not even going to touch your second paragraph and it's completely unrelated. Cleaning for a living is not "running a small business".
Keyboards already have too many keys. Your fingers are extremely inefficient at certain distances so you should never even touch numpad with proper keyboard design. 10 fingers can combine a lot of keys.

GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles
Rockstar's highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto sequel set in Vice City will be out in 2025
I'm confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Mortal Kombat 1 Has Sold Nearly 3 Million Units in 2 Months. Will focus ion 3-4 year release cycles and live service
Today, during Warning Bros' conference call, chief executive officer David Zaslav talked about Mortal Kombat 1 and the company's gaming business.
Most interesting part of the article:
> "Our focus is on transforming our biggest franchises from largely console and PC-based with 3-4 year release schedules to include more always-on gameplay through live services, multiplatform, and free-to-play extensions, with the goal of having more players spending more time on more platforms. U
> Ultimately, we want to drive engagement and monetization over longer cycles and at higher levels where per specific capabilities we're currently under scale, and see significant opportunity to generate greater post-purchase revenue"
What a major turn-off ngl.

Facebook Puts a Price on Privacy in EU, EEA and Switzerland: It’s 9.99€ a Month + 6€ for Each Extra Account
Meta is about to roll out ad-free subscriptions on Instagram and Facebook. But critics say privacy should not be turned into a luxury.
Ad free Facebook and Instagram is officially on. I'm trying to stay open minded but honestly it's too expensive especially with this sneaky account center rule unless you're in an unfortunate position where you need to spend a lot of time on these platforms.

Meta announces always online DRM for all existing and future Quest VR devices
Meta introduces a new API that performs hardware and application checks, targeting piracy among other things.
Meta sneakily introduced "Platform Integrity Attestation API" which basically calls home to see whether the user has a valid license to play.
This means that to run apps user has to have online connection to perform an integrity test. Whether it's only a test on launch or continues call home like Denuvo-like DRMs is not yet clear. This could also mean that modified headsets could fail to pass this test essentially closing down the device for modifications that could damage "platform integrity". Not all details are clear yet but this doesn't look good.
Currently it's optional and up to app developers to enable it.

So, apparently Pulsar Timing Arrays work and something important was discovered that'll be announced in few days.
This might sound like a bunch of space-nothing but just like radio waves, discovering gravitation waves could open up a lot of new posibilities in space observation. Though, in practice producing gravitation waves takes absurd amounts of energy so we'll not be applying this on earth any time soon.
