you can absolutely do what you want. GNU find is external and since it conflicts with a builtin can be aliased or referenced like ^find.

the syntax is new for sure, and it’s not for everyone.

been daily driving for over a year

but LLMs do represent a significant technological leap forward. i also share the skepticism that we haven’t “cracked AGI” and that a lot of these products are dumb. i think another comment made a better analogy to the dotcom bubble.

ETA: i’ve been working in ML engineering since 2019, so i can sometimes forget most people didn’t even hear about this hype train until ChatGPT, but i assure you inference hardware and dumb products were picking up steam even then (Tesla FSD being a classic example).

i know it’s popular to be very dismissive, but a lot of “AI” has already been integrated into normal workflows. AI autocomplete in development text editors, software keyboards, and question asking bots isn’t going away. speech-to-text, “smart eraser”, subject classification, signal processing kernels like DLSS and frame generation, and so many more will be with us and improving for a long time. Transformers, machine learning optimized chips, and other ML fields are going to be with us for a long time. the comparison to NFTs is either angst or misunderstanding.

nushell :P

i don’t know the full nature of the exploit, but zlib has an exploitable integer overflow via the MiniZip project. even though our images don’t use that project.

i know people usually are like, “oh cool new features”

but this has a security patch that will literally unblock my pipelines at work lol 🎉

the issue with this take is that they have been transitioning their enterprise services to web services. i and others on my team effectually use Microsoft enterprise tooling on Mac and Linux machines. i don’t think AD has anything to do with desktop Linux adoption?

i have a Linux Dell at home as well (from work), but it’s just a thin Ubuntu clone with some Dell bloatware. they really could go wild with it with just a few resources. Chromebook is also a good example of what i’m talking about.

OEM integration. i feel like there is a lot to like about Linux that most people who can will. but i think the thing that’s grown Linux a lot (other than geopolitical shifts) in recent time is SteamOS. not just because of Proton, but they’re literally selling a computer as an OEM with a 1st class linux OS. imagine if Dell and HP and Razer started doing the same

i absolutely cannot take this rant about “absurd” conventions seriously with that fuckin thorn character lol

i’ve been maining Zellij for over a year now and haven’t looked back

it was years ago. they used to not support &&, but they added it so people could paste commands into the terminal

i think this is the PR from 8 years ago 👴: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4620

yeah, but they did reverse course on ; and vs && to be more POSIX compatible, which is a decision i understand but don’t agree with

reject POSIX, embrace nushell

i mean, JSON is ugly and has its own problems, but it doesn’t have 6 legal values for boolean types. my opinion is that if you can’t do it in TOML you shouldn’t be doing it in config

ETA: if you like this and it’s useful to you, i don’t want to discourage you. i’ve just been fighting with yaml config all week

loving yaml-based CI/CD

you must be new at this or have some sort of Stockholm syndrome

academic fraud has always existed

this is why i moved from Arch to NixOS. now i know what system packages are installed and can even leave comments in the config to remind myself what the heck cyme does, for instance

god help the poor soul tasked with maintaining a JDK 8 system in AD 2034

without checking, Gates’ wealth is probably tied up in a lot of MS stock, and he could probably walk into the office and ask the intern to get him a coffee. but yeah i think mostly retired.

Linus is still active is maintaining the Linux kernel.

and yes, this is fluff, not some kind of summit
