I have the same type of thing. An alias that creates a tempdir that is based on the date, then cd’s into it. Then a cron job that finds dirs that are older then N days old and deletes them. I use these for most of my scratch work. Having several days to look back at what you did and know when you did it is so nice.

Exactly. They have to get as much killing in as possible before time runs out.

Is “ricing” not originally related to customised cars from street racing or something?

It is not, as I learned 18d ago https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/12165688

Riced out is an adjective denigrating a badly customized sports car, “usually with oversized or ill-matched exterior appointments”. … Examples of “rice burner” used literally, meaning one who burns rice or rice fields, as in stubble burning, date to 1917. In 1935 it appeared in a US newspaper caption with a racial connotation, disparaging East Asian people. … In some cases, users of the term assert that it is not offensive or racist, or else treat the term as a humorous, mild insult rather than a racial slur.

Yeah, and doesn’t want to pay people to maintain that feature. It makes sense for them. Still, that feature and their maps were awesome. I hope they don’t stop updating their maps that show the boundaries because IMHo they’re better than anything else, though I think they may not meet FAA requirements. All the FAA maps I’ve seen look so primitive and have seemingly contradictory information.

I kinda hate this. What I’d really like is the option to turn it on or off. I live near an airport airspace boundary and it’s nice to have that wall keeping me from straying into airspace I’m not authorized for, but at the same time, sometimes the drone freezes and won’t come back, so it’d be great to be able to get full control back temporarily.

Their reasoning is to give responsibility back to the pilot. A responsible pilot might want that guard rail. Having it as an option only makes sense.

This is exactly the kind of thing a loser would say. Loser CEOs are always whining about people leaving their platform. Winners keep their head down and build something their users actually enjoy using.

The point in question here is how public the event would be, not how effective. So in that regard, yes, Trump’s and even Epstien’s trials were quite public, regardless of how effective they were at rendering justice.

You’re attacking a straw man, which is how effective the judicial system was. As for that attack, you’re absolutely right. Those three instances had laughable results and dumbfounding failures of justice.

You definitely could. A hanging lasts less than a day. A trial could stay in the Overton window for much longer.

It says it’s a tautology because it’s a tautology.

It’s crazy that the two biggest shit heads in the world somehow ended up working together.

Not powerful, but often useful, column -t aligns columns in all lines. EG

$ echo {a,bb,ccc}{5,10,9999,888} | xargs -n3
a5 a10 a9999
a888 bb5 bb10
bb9999 bb888 ccc5
ccc10 ccc9999 ccc888
$ echo {a,bb,ccc}{5,10,9999,888} | xargs -n3 | column -t
a5      a10      a9999
a888    bb5      bb10
bb9999  bb888    ccc5
ccc10   ccc9999  ccc888

Great call out! I first used ftp about 30 years ago, and lftp has been my go to for about the last decade. I rarely need it anymore, but I still use it for quickly transferring files with my homebrew switch.

I love jq, but I wouldn’t call it “surprising simple” for anything but pretty-formatting json. It has a fairly steep learning curve for doing anything with all but the simplest operations on the simplest data structures.

Also, you can make yes return anything:

yes no
