Love this. Always interesting to see novel ways of querying data in the terminal, and I agree that jq's syntax is difficult to remember.

I actually prefer nu(shell) for this though. On the lobste.rs thread for this blog, a user shared this:

| get license.key -i
| uniq --count
| rename license

This outputs the following:

╭───┬──────────────┬───────╮
│ # │    license   │ count │
├───┼──────────────┼───────┤
│ 0 │ bsd-3-clause │    23 │
│ 1 │ apache-2.0   │     5 │
│ 2 │              │     2 │
╰───┴──────────────┴───────╯

the piracy community isn’t on this instance, so it’d be a surprise if there’s any legal basis to charge PD with anything related to it.

This is not so clear-cut. The nature of federation means that any posts you see through via this instance are hosted here too. How liable we are for that content is certainly an important question.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks. I didn't know about these advanced libraries, and had not heard of C++ modules either. Appreciate the explanation.

I don't code in C++ (although I'm somewhat familiar with the syntax). My understanding is the header files should only contain prototypes / signatures, not actual implementations. But that doesn't seem to be the case here. Have I misunderstood, or is that part of the joke?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Yes, I can see cases where this might be valid. For example, if you wanted to be some kind of SAP administrator / programmer (a paid-only enterprise management software), nobody would hire you for such a role without having some experience with that product. Same for something like Salesforce.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I agree. The content is reasonably sound, but from a design and UX perspective, it's awful.

A follow up post by the author, original shared and discussed here.

I like Konsole.

It comes with KDE, supports tabs, themes, and loads very fast.

I don't really need more from a terminal than that. When I, rarely, need more advanced features like window splitting and session management I also use Zellij (previously I used tmux).

First I've heard of "Out of Darkness". How was it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Interesting. That's not something I've heard about until now, but something I'll surely look into.

Mistral-large is probably the best large model for practical purposes at this point.

What makes you say that? I have not performed my own comparison, but everything I have seen and read suggests that GPT4 is king, currently.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Okay, that makes sense. Cheers.

I came across this list and thought it might be interesting to the programming community here.

Which of these books have you read, or are on your list? Did any have a profound impact on your life? Were any a struggle to get through?

 

Sony has released a new PlayStation 5 controller called the Access Controller, which is designed to be customizable for disabled gamers. It allows users to configure different buttons, triggers and sticks to suit their individual needs. The kit aims to help people who struggle with thumbsticks, pressing buttons, or holding a controller. Feedback from disabled gamers was incorporated into the design. While a step forward, some find issues like the lack of a right stick limits gameplay in certain genres. Overall though, the product and others like Microsoft's Adaptive Controller are helping make gaming more inclusive for disabled players.

 

What language(s) will you be using? Will you be trying anything different this year to usual?
