  • It doesn't sort them in the programming sense, it's just moving files to another directory based on the filename

     
        
    qsort -w /home/user/Documents -t ext --df .txt
    
      

    is equivalent to

     
        
    ls *.txt | xargs -I {} mv {} /home/user/Documents

  • Idk if it's a species difference, but European yellow jacket wasps are pretty fucking chill. I've only been or seen someone get stung if they accidentally squish/step on them.

    On the other hand they're soooo persistent about stealing my food and bait. Like no, you can't steal meat from my fork, fuck off. gets slapped, and comes back with 5 more sisters to bully me out of my lunch. It's especially bad in late summer and so we have to eat indoors because of them.

    Hornets can go fuck themselves though and I try to kill them on sight if they're around the house.

  • Nah, that guy had an accident and ended up sleeping with the fishes.

  • Ah, that must be why first world countries like France are trying to export their nuclear waste into third world countries, after they were forced to stop exporting it into Russia...

    If it's so safe, why have they been closing down every single high level waste permanent storage site over the last decade?

  • Dude, everyone farts, who gives a shit...

  • No candles, but I do light up a torch wink wink

  • A bit offtopic, but it's relevant.

    My first attempt to learn to code was more than a decade ago with python. I went through the basics, and decided to start a small project to practice. At the time python didn't really have too many applications apart from automating tasks (before Hugo, flask, etc), so what did I think up? To make an automated propositional logic theorem prover. You input a formula, it tells you whether it's a tautology or not.

    Great idea, there are some relatively simple algorithms we've learned for pen and paper, it doesn't seem too hard, etc. After a month I learned that it's an extremely complex problem with billions invested in solving it because it's directly relevant to PCB manufacturing.

    That attempt failed horribly, and it took me a few more years and attempts before I found a good method. Web dev was actually crucial because I had direct feedback on simple logic.

    So if you're anything like me, make a blog from scratch or something else that's actually simple, but gives you immediate visual feedback. And just to be clear, I ended up absolutely hating frontend, but it was a great stepping stone.

  • Don't forget how they patent trolled the entire Linux community for more than a decade and that Novell-Suse helped them.

  • No, the NATO allies all work together to catch each other's dissidents

    Ah yes, well known dissidents like

    checks notes

    Angela Merkel and other EU officials

    Meanwhile in Denmark

    In August 2020, Trine Bramsen who was recently appointed Danish minister of defence in June of the previous year was told of the operation, following which agency head Lars Findsen and three other officials were suspended.[7]

  • Isn't it public info that the USA has backdoors in every CPU (IME for example), or that NSA collects literally every piece of data going to and from USA, or that the USA illegally spies on its allies in the NATO by tapping phones and transcontinental internet cables? Or that trump literally called for Snowden to be executed for making all of that public?

  • They almost exclusively eat salmon. Humans have destroyed salmon populations. They share their territory with other natural prey like seals. They kill seals for fun. They can't figure out that seals are edible.

    But I'm guessing that's not the main reason their population is declining

    Pacific Northwest orca are among the most contaminated marine mammals in the world, due to the high levels of toxic anthropogenic chemicals that accumulate in their tissues.[115] Implicated in the decline of the southern resident orca population, these widespread contaminants pose a large problem for conservation efforts. While many chemicals can be found in the tissues of orca, the most common are the insecticide DDT, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).[116] Each of these have detrimental physiological effects on orca,[117] and can be found in such high concentrations in dead individuals that those individuals must be disposed of in hazardous waste sites.[118]

    Correlative evidence shows orca may be vulnerable to effects of PCBs on many levels. Research has identified PCBs as being linked to restricting development of the reproductive system in orcas and dolphins.[119] High contamination levels leads to low pregnancy rates and high mortality in dolphins. Further effects include endocrine and immune system disruption, both systems being critical to mammalian health and survival.[117] A study examining 35 Northwest orcas found key genetic alterations that caused changes to normal physiological functions.[120] These genetic level interferences, combined with the varied effects of PCBs at other physiological levels, suggest these contaminants may be partially responsible for declines in orca populations.

  • Thundermail seems cool at least

    Thunder* is developed by a separate corporation, they're just both subsidiaries of the mozilla foundation. Also mzla is pretty much financially independent due to individual donations.

    as an encrypted email service.

    You can send e2ee emails with thunderbird.

  • I've got no issues with helping people in need, but even if it's not an embezzlement scheme, this is extremely bad prioritization unless their priority is publicity.

    MDN is a proven resource that's helped a lot of people learn to code. How many African translators can you hire for a milion a year, let alone like 8? How many more people would learn to code that way?l

    But nah, let's feed money into "partners" that use some experimental teaching methods, while destroying a crucial learning resource because corona made us broke.

    Edit: fact checked myself and the corp killed MDN, and they're paying the foundation to do projects like this through royalties.
