I too think we're growing hypersensitive, but that's not the only argument for switching to a different picture: the the model has requested the image not be used, long ago IIRC.


And decades before she was always fine/amused/proud with it being used. Probably she is just being tired being always asked about the issue.

AND found a way to sound cool while doing that. (My fingers are itching to add some comment about the fact that she’s Swedish but I’m sure that has no correlation whatsoever with jumping in on meaningless postmodern cancel culture bandwagons)


Github can't even recognize syntax, let alone provide semantic diffs! In fact, Github can't even tell that foo.cpp.in is different from foo.mk.in! Any foo.t is declared to be Perl, with no way to fix it…There are a decade-old tickets!

Do you not?


20 years staring at it and no, i don't. i usually have to work it out from context. i think if you have vi or ed sensory organs it might work better for ya. which.. i still chuckle that vi is the visual editor, bc ed lol


No, I sure don’t.


No one knows anything until they learn it.


Same here. If there's a great ELI5 explanation somewhere, please post a link. Thanks


The comma-separated number pairs are starting line number of hunk, and the number of lines in the hunk.

The one starting with a minus sign is for the original file, the one with the plus prefix is for the new file.

Never needed to.


Windows has focus issues too. Eg. when I launch Windows Terminal, whether from the Start menu or the pinned icon in Taskbar, it renders the window focussed at first, but as soon as the shell finishes initialization the window loses focus.


This one is a little difficult: the book is laden with multilingual dialogue and notes apparatus; it's not for everybody. That said, I first read The Name of the Rose when I was 11 or 12, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.


Catch-22. I was maybe 11 on my first reading, and read it once a year until I was 19 or so. The book grew darker and darker on each reading, without changing a word. (I've read it a bunch of times since, just not every year. )

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. My mother read it to me before I could read. I thought it was a great adventure book!


I don't know anyone who liked The Little Prince when they were kids, regardless of their appreciation of the book as adults.

I disliked it as a kid for the same reasons I've loved it (and Exupéry's other aviator stories) as adult: it's abstract and impressionist.


The article is specifically about "finfluencers", which I can't help but read as "active participants in shitcoin pump-and-dump schemes", and find the self-reported numbers of "saved money" and "made money" suspect.

Alternatively, the finfluencers in question could be coffeezilla, that would check out. ;-)


> # yes | head -c 512 > foo

How about `truncate -s 512 foo`?


I, too, thought that chimps learning from each other was nothing new (Jared Diamond, etc).

Besides that: I haven't read either study, just the article, so who knows what were the actual claims, but…

The article opens with:

> chimpanzees can learn skills from their peers so complicated that they could never have mastered them on their own.

Which you object with:

> Basically, the study is showing that a chimp can teach other chimps something humans trained it to do.

and:

> I am not sure the study is showing human like “cumulative culture”.

That reads a bit like rejecting evolution because we haven't fully replicated abiogenesis (yet).

Is "humans trained it to do" in "a chimp can teach other chimps something humans trained it to do" so important?


"cumulative culture" is also called "the ratchet effect" ... when you learn something from someone else and then improve on it and pass on the improvements, over and over and over across generations.

This is just learning, there was no ratchet effect.
