  • The look on the cat’s face says, “This is how you dominate a person, amateur.”

  • It should, but I’m not going to test it because debugging for a smartphone is annoying as fuck.

  • Customers pay too much money and farmers get too little. I wonder where the money goes. 🤔

  • The website developer can configure which camera to use. Instead of

     
        
    <input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="user" />
    
    
      

    it is

     
        
    <input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="environment" />
    
    
      

    This doesn’t help you, but it’s cool for a web dev.

  • Recently I saw a meme or post or tweet that I can’t find anymore. The gist was: In the 2000s, search engines were arcane tools which could only be used competently by few select people. Nowadays this has changed. Not because people have gotten smarter, but because search engines were dumbed down so much that it’s not possible to use them competently anymore.

  • The sad thing is, there are people who wholeheartedly agree with that reasoning…

  • Engineers now: We built an airport, 9 years behind schedule and at 233% the cost.

    We are rebuilding a train station at (currently) 366% the planned cost and an estimated delivery time of 200% the original estimate, into rock that might swell when in contact with water and heave the station out of the ground, in order to decrease the station’s capacity by 17%

  • Not only censored, but dumbly censored. Facepalm squared.

  • What you’re showing here is an extra processing step, but I wouldn’t call that manual.

    Yes, it’s not manual by the dictionary definition, but it is an extra step. This is another meaning of manual in my particular bubble [Edit: that I didn’t think to specify].

    But a much better idea would be to use sensors -j to get json output, intended for machine reading, and pass that to jq.

    This is my initial point, exactly. Dealing with objects is way easier than using the ‘default’ line-wise processing. Only Powershell made that the default, while in Linux you need to hope that utilities have an option to toggle it on – and then also have jq installed to process the objects.

    I look forward to seeing how you would do this in PS. As I said previously, I don’t know it at all, so I’m not sure what you’re comparing this to.

    [Edit, since I forgot to answer your main point:] I don’t program in PS. I don’t like the verbosity. But I do think MS has a point in pushing objects as the prime unit in processing instead of lines.

  • How about Intel?

  • For instance: Get the temperature of the “Composite” sensor from this output:

     
        
    $ sensors
    k10temp-pci-00c3
    Adapter: PCI adapter
    Tctl:         +37.1°C  
    
    BAT1-acpi-0
    Adapter: ACPI interface
    in0:          16.07 V  
    curr1:         1.80 A  
    
    amdgpu-pci-0500
    Adapter: PCI adapter
    vddgfx:        1.46 V  
    vddnb:       918.00 mV 
    edge:         +35.0°C  
    slowPPT:     1000.00 uW 
    
    nvme-pci-0200
    Adapter: PCI adapter
    Composite:    +28.9°C  (low  =  -5.2°C, high = +79.8°C)
                           (crit = +84.8°C)
    
    acpitz-acpi-0
    Adapter: ACPI interface
    temp1:        +37.0°C  (crit = +120.0°C)
    
      

    Without a cryptic awk incantation that only wizards can understand, that would be:

    sensors | grep Composite | grep -Po 'Composite:.*?C' | grep -Eo '[[:digit:]]{1,2}\.[[:digit:]]'

  • Don’t you think immediately getting the property you’re interested in from an object is easier and more readable than first grepping some output to get the line you want and then removing the leading and trailing garbage on that line manually?

    I thing PS scripting would be much more fun if the words weren’t so annoyingly long.

  • radicalizes those people even more

    Tell me, what comes after “Let’s deport all non-Germans”?

  • The voters don’t care about facts. That’s the problem. We need to dismantle that party while we still have democratic (read: sane) people in charge, because arguing with someone who thinks COVID was a hoax to suppress the people or that the government has a secret agenda to replace the German population with muslims is futile.

  • If you edit code with find/replace, you need a better IDE. Just a hint.
