It’s been quite a while since I’ve used sleep on a laptop, but it worked well on my Dell (latitude I think, as I said, it’s been a while). It did take a little experimenting with sleep levels to get it reliable, but once it was it worked for years.

ETA: I realise that saying “it worked for me” is probably intensely annoying, my appologies for that, but I thought a counterpoint might be a useful extra data point.

The bash man page is full of useful bits like this, but is is densely packed. It’s definitely worth reading though.

You can use the <( ) replacement for this as it runs a command in a subshell and replaces it with the filename of a temporary fifo. So something like:

join <( echo "${var1}" ) <( echo "${var2}" )  

This is excellent article on enshitification, some of the factors that can lead to it, and ways founders could think about it to hopefully avoid it. What it doesn’t seem to talk about is how Tailscale intends to avoid it, now and in the future.

That has unironicaly made me nostalgic for the days when the web was a place of experimentation, joy and just a bit of crazy.

This is painfully true. I want to say something pithy about it, but my brain is filled with cotton wool and sludge.

Nope, absolutely no vampires here, definitely none at all, no siree. No vmpires in this house.

Can confirm, no warrent carrying vampires have gotten into my house without permission from someone inside.

Can’t argue with that logic. I always knew those feathered menaces were out to get us.

All right, fine. It’s wok fried rice… No, wait, I see where this is going.

Quite right. It’s human fried rice with shrimp.

You’ve got this, just show her how attracted to her you are, tell her she’s your sun and your moon, that she’s all you think about, that the world seems dark without her.

They’re publishing articles that are completely false, which suggests failures are the writing and editorial levels, whether or nit they use an LLM. It’s going to take a lot of high quality, accurate, articles to regain my trust.

It looks like the article was AI, it’s been pulled from the site.

Blast. This sounded like really positive news, linux as an ecosystem desperately needs to revisit its init process choices, but there really doesn’t seem to be any hint of it elsewhere. There is a rye that’s written in rust and which has an init command rye init. I wonder if it’s a case of an LLM latching on to that and just making up the rest?

Yes, your Highness. Will you be needing any further artifacts aquired for safe keeping and preservation?

That would explain the slightly dazed look…

Well, that’s a horrifying dystopia, well done.

“the kids won’t see it as weird. they’ll transition straight from their parents deciding their meals to corporations doing the same” is the bit that sold it for me. It’s entirely plausible, corporations would live it, and I hate it.
