Is there a shortcut to reuse the result of the last command? “which java => ll $(!!)”, but the “!!” reexecutes the last command, I’d like something which doesn’t.

Everything uses --version, except `java -version`.

Except Java 17. Java 17 went to `java --version`. And `java -version` doesn’t work anymore (Yes I jumped from Java 8 to 17, but most people did).

When is the Party congress? Can it happen that, after the congress, they let the Covid run rampant, to get rid of the elderly and have better figures for a few years after that?

Let’s take time to discuss this, as it’s easier to discuss when it happens to another country with an entirely different social system.

I was surprised, last year, that techniques we were condescending about, and saying it only happens in China, were applied in Europe and USA. As if it was an emergent property of a human group facing a new disease.

Aren’t they using 3D? inside the first machine for example, a human can’t monitor, and the pieces falling off seem to have lunar gravity.

In both cases, they are guilty of speaking. If they were benevolent, but wrong in terms of science, then they should shut up.

“But it was impossible to predict!” that the mask was useful. Well, Pr Raoult did. Many doctors did. Government can’t claim innocence “by being wrongly advised” after implementing nationwide policies without knowing anything correct AND banning criticism on Facebook.

You can’t claim innocence when you perform wilful censorship.

2. CDC (I believe) was claiming that N95 masks won't help as much as other masks. Later it turned out they just didn't want to create scarcity for N95 masks because hospitals need them.

This is the most probable explanation for governments around the world saying that masks are “Absolutely useless” (literal quote) until June 2020.

It is lying-as-a-form-of-governance. It’s extremely detrimental to credibility: From that point, anything new a government said can be taken as a probable lie, since they lie as a routine operation of their job, just for practicability, because it’s easier than explaining. The common answer was “Doctors say masks are useless, why don’t you believe science.”

I wish more people thought critically and had healthy criticism

The Covid response has killed the permission of citizen to doubt science, even though it is widely recognized that “science” had been used to make people do the opposite of what’s in their interest. You can’t both admit they told people not to wear masks at one point AND ask them to believe that they can trust the vaccine. Newspapers had to be in on the lie, social media had to prevent critical thinking for the duration of it: It’s extremely damaging to public health.

I’m surprised that individual governments didn’t even think about “Let’s not participate to a blatant lie, let’s tell people we don’t have masks and they should not buy one to let them available to hospitals, but tell them they should wear anything they have at home.” No government used the pedagogy method. They all opted for lie-as—a-policy, and-pretend-it’s-science.

EZ also made it clear that a French Muslim is French and he won’t touch them, so it’s not like he’s hiding that he’s targetting delinquants.

Targetting delinquants is often seen as straight up racist, which kind of proves the point.

EZ is the Muslims’ best opportunity to separate the good from the evils, because many Muslims in France would like the bad ones to be convicted, which the current system prevents. Macron has instaurated a system that can be summarized as “Let’s free all Muslim criminals”, which does a lot of torts to all of them.

Do you think it is fine for EDF to operate 8 nuclear plants of UK, “outside EU”? Do you think it is fine for Gmail to suppress email accounts of entire companies in Europe? Especially if they already did it for individuals and their work Gmail.

I think we live in a dangerously intertwined world, and a bit of email redundancy in each country would be quite important.

Doesn’t the ITO (International Trade Organization) regulate international contacts with allowed and non allowed sanctions? I think Western states are currently tied to it, they can’t just impose “whatever” sanctions, and if we don’t, it would be legal for Russia to impose sanctions upon us.

Currently Russia has no right to sanction us, so anything they do is a further breach of ITO, which further deepens their case.

Diplomacy is important. The good guy has to respect the rules, or at least write them so we pretend that there are rules we adhere to.

Serious question: Does the community gave to secure items to prevent them from falling? Have you ever had shattered windows?

Less serious questions: Is it a 140dB alarm? Do you recognize models by sound? I assume the A320 is medium-size, do they have bigger airplanes?

My sister’s team did something truly great with the satisfaction surveys. They all gave the same marks along the months: 6, 7, 10, 8, 8, 10, 7, 6.

It made a very nice Batman shadow on the manager’s dashboard. That’s about all they can be used for.

…which is a pretty good proof of team cohesion.

I assume that behind that were schedules that weren't so far from being hand-calculated

It’s more than that: The trains are negotiated at political levels! The “8:18 to Marseilles” (fictitious example) could be a headline in the news if the region refuses to fund it, and the worker’s union may have striked to keep it, while inhabitants’ HOA has negociated with the city to keep it under 12€: They are the object of a convergence of fixed interests. They run for generations: the train I took as a kid is still arriving on the same track today (and in one stop, it stops at track E; tracks A-D were dismantled but never renumbered due to this legacy).

The good thing with rails is that they aren’t going away, and trains can be negotiated for decades, they’re far from being scheduled on-the-fly.

admit that perhaps there's something else going on than purely being "busy."

- Snapchat is essential to some youth friendships nowadays, unfortunately,

- People dwell in dopamine hits, notably because their social life is broken. It’s a self-reinforcing problem, true, but initially their social life was broken. You don’t get into drugs when all is good, or at least you can resist.

Would they have died anyway, or did they die with Covid? It’s the repeated question, together with “Didn’t the flu cause as many deaths”, and even if it was actual death, it’s a transfer of years of life from the young to the elderly.

97-98 cents per dollar, excluding control on overdue hours. Twice more men than women do unpaid hours every week (34% vs 17%) leading, each year, to 3-5% more experience per year. Therefore, 97c for 5% less experience per year worked, and the wage gap already goes the other way.

And we can’t measure the quality of the focus per day, obviously. (But we can measure the toilet time. It’s mean but results always go the same way).

We’ll discuss the glass ceiling when people admit than men also need help. Not an open ear with active listening to /dev/null and no actions behind, no; Actual help with real funding behind it.

As it stands, this focus on women exclusively is only reproducing the divide from generation to generation, male managers being reluctant to hire women after the 2016 #metoo movement.

I have a site in Jekyll, but the tech stack is moving all the time and causes compilation errors. I’m not a Ruby dev, so I can’t compile my Jekyll site anymore, it was something along the lines of being programmed for Ruby 3.x while Ruby 4 is the default now, or something similar.

probably doesn’t have enough resources to maintain both.

So why break a perfectly functional feature, if they are on a tight line? Just to compete with Notion.io? Stop trying to gob the next market when you don’t have enough resources to maintain your own stack.

Remember when Ubuntu created the Unity desktop and made all Gnome users angry, just to try to gob the mobile/tablet market?

I’ve tried to use it for 2 years and left. Is Ubuntu the OS of any mobile phone today?

People always say “no indication of anything being wrong.” Of course. Those who actually intend to commit suicide, hide their idea, otherwise someone may make them backtrack. By that, I mean, it’s not your fault.

I would say yes, you need to remove their photos from most places. The happiest people live in the present. The brain rehearses negative thoughts because it tries to understand how it could have done better, but you have to repeat yourself that you had no control over others’ lives and let go of the continuous thoughts.

Are you saying that, by the nature of media having to be large corporations, they need to protect other large corporations and therefore paint an incorrect view of the world?

My sole question is, how have they built such large audiences. Do people enjoy hearing corporate-loving stories? Or do people rely on well-designed documentaries, articles and websites to assess the accuracy of the contents, betting everything on the production value? Or are those newspapers surfing on ancient glory and wearing off some reputation? But if so, what builds a reputation, and which newspapers are currently building a reputation by having quite-accurate content?
