Thankfully, the article did clear that up, but the fact that my brain didn't even think, "that's a stupid idea that no one would buy that" is a bit depressing.

something like:

  curl -fsSL https://repo.aosc.io/pubkeys/repo/oma.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/oma.gpg
  echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/oma.gpg] https://repo.aosc.io/oma $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oma.list > /dev/null
  sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y oma

Microsoft also has a "download deb and install", which I still consider slightly better than curl | bash; it's basically the windows install flow. People who are using a GUI can just double click it, people who want to see what it's going to do can examine it, and your (unsafe) one-liner is `curl XXX.deb && dpkg -i XXX.deb`. Plus it can be shipped to a multiple machines at once easily.

And hey, you already know they have dpkg.

Keep careful watch of problems in the future: the oxidation issue for the 13th gen is a physical defect not fixable by the microcode update, but we don't know how widespread it is yet (and Intel is keeping mum). If possible, it might well be worth returning and getting a 14th gen chip, which doesn't suffer from the latter problem and the former will be fixed by microcode.

X11 got network transparency out of the box (a sibling comment touches this), and the capability of switching out the components more easily, while Windows had less work to do to smooth out the overall desktop experience.

With warnings, it runs, but tells you about all of the mistakes you made. With strict, it doesn't run.

I think the people that love perl love its expressiveness. It has a little bit of functional programming here, and a system for making an object-oriented language, and all of these handy tools and you choose which ones you need or find most readable. I've heard Ruby called a better Perl, and - as someone whose day job is largely those two things - that's completely fair.

Rails is magic, both in good and bad ways. The good generally outweighs the bad. And it has things (like Sidekiq) that I typically need in a project, and I don't have to waste time putting it together and can worry about getting stuff done in my developer role, and code quality in my team lead role. I do use Rust in some performance critical stuff - I used to use C++, but Rust just feels good to write, like Ruby. We have typescript on the front-end, but everything's React and React just never clicked for me in the "this feels natural to write" sense, so I don't venture into that realm often.

We don't have trouble hiring, other than the usual "not enough money in the budget" problems.

A friend of mine tried to tell me that Elon had some type of new computing technology that would let them turn off most of their servers because they could fit all of the tweets in less space.

He blocked me after I told him he had confused Elon Musk with gzip.

"Chandra's Outrage deals 4 damage to target creature and 2 damage to that creature's controller."

I guess the real question is: are dang's parents still alive or do we have to clone him? Hopefully Twitter can wait for the minimum 18.75 years it'll take to scale out.

This is 1998. I was setting up my new main desktop with linux that year. When it got to network services, the installer asked me if I wanted dhcp and dns. "Of course I want dhcp and dns, I don't have a static IP here."

It was asking if I wanted to install DHCP and DNS servers on this machine. I can only guess as to what kind of configuration allowed this to spread as far as it did, but for about 2 days the state university shut down the entire lower college's network because my machine was apparently responsible for DHCP for everyone for just a little while.
