"then" is used to depict time, sequence or a causal relationship. "than" is used with comparative adjectives, to depict comparison.

  • What if it were just a really big Expert system?

    That's usually the thing that you call AI players or COM players in computer games.

  • An irrelevant but interesting take is that this applies as an analogue to a lot of stuff in electronics related space.

    • It is harder to receive data than to transmit it, because you need to do things like:
      • match your receiver's frequency with that of the transmission (which might be minutely different from the agreed upon frequency), to understand it
      • know how long the data will be, before feeding into digital variables, or you might combine multiple messages or leave out some stuff without realising
    • this gets even harder when it is wireless, because now, you have noise, which is often, valid communication among other devices

    Getting back to code, you now need to get in the same "wavelength" as the one who wrote the code, at the time they wrote the code.

  • I get the apple with the leaf for solving the puzzle.

  • Guess if it were me in his place, Rust would never have been made.

    I just love using stairs.

  • Yeah!

    Why do you need to capitalise the 'e' and add an 'i' and a 't', when you already have something much less bloated like ed


    ed, man! !man ed

  • OIC, so the physically connected storage devices are disconnected in the software and then the correct, required one is re-connected.

    The part of what Clonezilla is doing seems like a mis-feature, added to prevent some kind of PICNIC.

  • So you somehow connected a networked drive as sda - is what I understand from that.

    That would be interesting

  • Mass deployment using a solution that is making you have to remove all other storage devices.That sounds very frustrating and I wouldn't want to do that.

    On the other hand, you're probably an expert on disconnecting and reconnecting SCSI cables by now.

  • You know I'm all 'bout that carry bit!

  • Yeah!

    /dev/nvmeXnYpZ warrants another meme and is not covered by the terms of this memetic service.Please subscribe to the other service to fulfil your requirements.

  • I actually have multiple HDDs of the same model with only their serial numbers different.


    I usually just open partitionmanager, visually identify my required device, then go by disk/by-uuid or by disk/by-partuuid in case it doesn't have a file system. Then I copy-paste the UUID from partitionmanager into whatever I am doing.


    Fucking around in /sys feels like I'm wielding a power stolen from the gods

    I presume you have had to run on RAM, considering you removed all drives

  • unless you want to make your day a lot more fun

  • Edit

    That is bloat!

    Just look at the number of files required to build it. Just for a text editor!

    A single Makefile and a source file should be enough!

    Just use ed man!

  • I have a problem of "unable to suspend user.slice", when using a Virtual Machine.

    When I get back from sleep, I see the lockscreen, but after logging in, I have nothing displayed. This might have changed since I haven't set the computer to sleep with that VM in a while.

    In my case REISUB works. REJ and switching to tty also works... but stuff doesn't work well after that until a restart

  • Comments have been moved to chat.

  • It's nice to be the case.

    But doing all the programming in CSS is too hard for a on-shot hobby-site maker like me.

  • Most high level programming is more about structures and “placing things around” than people like to admit and that’s 90% of all programming today.

    Although I'd like to say, "it's not", that definitely is what takes up most of my time, even though it ends up being lesser part of the code (thankfully). But a lot of that is UI designing and deciding what might give a better UX, rather than programming.

    Of course, if I were not using a framework, which does all the painting for me, I would always be programming the UI and that would be 90% of my code and 99% of my coding time.Also, I would probably take a year to complete a weekly project.


    In my dictionary, programming for the UI elements has been done by those, that created the library that parses the markup language and does the paint events. They also have to manage number of separate draw calls and other GPU efficiency stuff, making it easy to just define most of he placements using markup.

  • program the structure of a web page

    In a loose sense, yes.

    But then someone could also say that when making LATEX templates is programming the structure of the documents.

    I prefer calling it markup, because, even though people might prefer calling it 'programming', due to people's high esteem perception of the word, if you look at it from a neutral standpoint, markup is a word that represents the actual work, much more closely.

    e.g. I use Qt Designer[which is a UI to create UI stuff, which creates an XML definition of the final UI to be generated] to create UI stuff, and in some cases QML[which is based on JS] and if I were to only be defining placements, shapes, sizes and colours of elements, I would like to call that part as marking-up the UI ^[of course I don't because nobody would understand, but if people did care about the word (and I kinda like the word), it would be more accurate], while the part where I define functions, timers and connections would be the programming part.

  • Maybe the capital 'E' in "Efficiency" was for a proper noun.

    And it's the name of some money-printing machine or some ponzi scheme.


    Well, something around here, is surely a ponzi scheme.
