There is an episode on the Epic of Gilgamesh which is absolutely fascinating. Highly recommended.

Does anyone know if this has its PE in alignment with the other Sedna type objects found?

I think there is a tendency for them to have their PE out to one side and the AP out to the other giving a fairly obvious pattern indicating another larger object is shepherding the others into their orbits.

Currently known as red-knot:

It’s quite impressive how good xfiles looks today when you compare it to other shows around the same period.

Space above and beyond in comparison looks pretty terrible from what I have seen. It’s not even wide screen.

I think X files was shot on film perhaps?

I’m not sure if what we have now on say Disney plus for example is a remastered version but certainly it holds up very well.

I followed this to make a very basic PCB and had it shipped to me, worked fine. Guides you through all the basic steps with KiCad.

From what I’ve seen chatgpt is able to generate a list of links for a topic you are discussing. They seemed very relevant to me when I tried this.

Obviously it won’t have anything post 2021 but for some subjects it’s fine.

Can anyone explain how shared folders work with lastpass?

How is the data encrypted at rest? Who’s master password is used to store that data?

I ended up playing Elden ring on Linux rather than windows as it seemed to stutter a little. Hard to believe how far gaming on Linux has come.

From memory I think this takes place in Schild's Ladder by Greg Egan, but in real time. People have personal AI’s wired into their brains that can be asked to converse with others.

One of many great ideas in that book.

It’s very clever in how you can tell it that it was wrong and it admits this mistake. Has it been written in such a way that the operators instructions are given a higher weight compared to what it knows?

I’ve asked it to generate python code and then format it with black. It reproduced the original code and then what was supposed to be the formatted code, but it was identical.

When told of this it admitted it had made a mistake and this time correctly outputted the formatted code.

The dot com bubble is mentioned. Despite the mania leading up to the crash, I think all here would agree that ultimately the attention was justified, it was just perhaps a little premature.

Is docker swarm still maintained?

Slightly off topic what would people recommend to use to compile Java to wasm? Is what’s currently available still fairly experimental?

Any soulsborne game for that matter. They are all a long enjoyable slog. Recommended for sure.

The wii u tablet controller is actually pretty comfortable to use.

If you don’t feel comfortable writing shell scripts, or even for people who do :-), shellcheck especially when used as a vscode plugin will hold your hand and catch any potential problems with your shell script before it’s even run.

I completely feel your pain, however check out poetry.

Package management and a virtual env manager in one.

How are people finding it on PC? I’ve heard reports of issues with stuttering which is putting me off purchasing it for now.

Searching for content which you know is on GitHub is the biggest issue for me. Now rather than returning results for code from GitHub, you instead get results from sites which copy content from GitHub.

It’s actually useful they perform this or else some of that content would never appear in Google’s search results.

Having two of everything is actually a pretty decent idea.

Part of the fear of updating though is the time sink.

Even if I attempt to update one mac laptop to the new version (of which I believe there is a new one just released, doesn’t seem long since I last updated…) knowing that I have a safe backup, I dread the thought of spending hours knowing something _should_ be working but is now broken. It can be infuriating. Especially when it’s a pattern/way of working you have become so accustomed to.

Gildas, Bede, Asser and to the people who duplicated and preserved their works we thank you.

Take Offa's Dyke for instance, very little is known about its purpose from historical records (though we can guess). A structure which ran the length of what is now the English and Welsh border.

Totally agree, it’s very off putting to use zsh auto complete after years of using bash.

Thanks for sharing. Does this also support volumes and setup port mapping for local host?

8 bit show and tell is absolutely brilliant for any c64 fans out there ( down to assembly level ), plus a little more besides.

I feel your pain. Check out poetry if you haven’t seen it already as a modern alternative to pip.

Out of interest then how do you proceed? Do you fork the code and run your own patched version?

Yes indeed! This is really fascinating.

This comes to us via the epic of Gilgamesh[0], perhaps written around 2100 BCE.

Small extract:

“ Ea commanded Utnapishtim to demolish his house and build a boat, regardless of the cost, to keep living beings alive.

The boat must have equal dimensions with corresponding width and length and be covered over like Apsu boats.”

There is an excellent in our time episode which covers this epic, the Sumerian language and translation which I found one of the most interesting episodes they have made [1].

Not sure what it is about this film, the aesthetics, story, atmosphere, the acting? I think it’s perhaps my favourite film. The first 20 mins or so in particular are outstanding.

I’m sure many know but the idea of having the mundane industrial theme transferred to space was supposed to have come from a student film called Dark Star[0].

Alien Isolation is also fantastic though hard to fully enjoy the atmosphere for the most part as it’s fairly terrifying.

There was a piece on hacker news a while back where a programmer talked through how he was asked to code up the graphics for the landing sequence.(3D terrain wireframe).

Also slavery disappeared from Europe, except for Spain

Slavery was unfortunately very much a thing in Anglo Saxon England.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Britain#2

Pre the migration of the Saxons into England (not long after the Romans left leaving the inhabitants unprotected) they would raid coastal areas and carry off slaves back across the sea. Later, Viking raiders would do the same…

Terraform to create and manage the cluster and then helm to deploy any applications.

Those two tools have been around for a while and you’ll find plenty of documentation and other people looking for help online.
