- HankB99Would it make sense to consider anything that prevents a process from completing it's intended function an error? It seems like this message would fall into that category and, as you pointed out, could result from a local fault as well.
- > A good old ICE car will be cheaper to make than an EV
How much of that is the result of the relatively maturity of the technology? We've been continuously improving ICE based transportation for well over a hundred years. It's been a lot shorter for electric vehicles.
I suspect that there are bigger strides to make with electrics that may eventually turn that around.
- Our kids have a Rottweiler that loves to chase a ball, Bring it back and then dare us to try to take it away from her. She can drop if convinced. Or I have a second ball that is more interesting, causing her to drop the other ball. She can hold two balls in her mouth so I have to wait for her to drop the first ball before I throw.
She also has a large (about 1 food diameter) ball that can't possibly fit in her mouth and I can kick that at which point she'll drop the little ball and try to get the big one in her mouth.

Agreed WRT shellcheck.
- Coincidentally the 2.5 admins podcast just published an episode on ZFS basics: Why ZFS https://2.5admins.com/2-5-admins-256/
ZFS relates to backups. In my case (among the many things I like about ZFS) is that it preserves hard links which I used to reduce the space requirements for my primary `rsync` backup but which `rsync` blew up copying to my remote backup. (Yes, there's a switch to preserve hard links but it is not sufficiently performant for this application.)

IIRC it did manage to make it into the PCs of some users - testers and early adopters?

- > A lot of that power currently gets discarded instead.
How is power discarded? I would expect peaking generation to be cut back or perhaps even base load plants can reduce output. (AFAIK "base load" means they are expected to be kept operating continuously whereas "peaking" is designed to start up when needed and shut down when not.)

I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but I bet a fair bit of metallurgy was learned producing a better sword.

This reminds me of something I learned in a developmental psychology class (many) years ago. It reflects the "terrible twos" when the toddler learns they can disagree with their parent and answer almost any question "No!" in order to exercise their newfound power.
The suggestion in the class was to phrase questions in a manner to give the toddler a choice between two reasonable options rather than a yes/no query. For example "Do you want to play inside or go outside?" rather than "Do you want to go outside?" [1]
It seems that the choice could be manipulative or could offer reasonable options depending on how it is cast. (Of course there is a continuum between the two.)
[1] Our two boys never wanted to go outside and play but once outside, didn't want to come back in, claiming "Do we have to? We're just starting to have fun."
- Will I be struck down or downvoted into oblivion if I mention man2html? Definitely not light weight since it also installs Apache, but I do like to view man pages in the browser. I think 'python3 -m http.server' could be substituted for the server and perform well enough for a single user system.
It's unfortunate that Markdown isn't better standardized so it could be extended to better meet the needs for man pages. (Do we need a new standard to rule them all? Yes, I'm thinking of the XKCD comic.)
- The budget for the NPS is so small that if they shut it down, the effect on the deficit would be too small to measure. But someone would still need to manage those properties so it would be "necessary" to sell them off to private interests.
I really hope that's not going to happen, but that fits with strangling the parks for the necessary resources needed to operate. (And then mandating that they remain open.)
- > I'll take a Lexical editor with SQLite to store my data any day.
Do you have tools that do this or an example?
I'm pretty happy with Markdown and mkdocs (on Linux) to manage and format my notes. VS Code does a pretty good job with this providing both a preview and facilitating linking between documents (both file and heading links.) I'm always open to something better.

- > > this is more like "requesting the data to be deleted".
> Ideally the court can compel the purchaser(s) to destroy the data.
I suppose a court order holds more weight than checking a box on a web site, but I'm not sure how much I'd trust the eventual purchaser.
Worse yet, if the seller drops their guard (due to lack of funding for proper security) will someone steal the data? At that point web requests and court orders are moot.
I guess I'm seeing a black hat behind every bush. I'm not sure if this kind of data has any value on the black market.
- As a teen I worked in a pet shop and a Mynah - the shop pet - had learned to imitate a squeaky hamster wheel.
- > Blue Jays imitate the calls of Red-tailed, Red-shouldered, and Broad-winged hawks, for example.
I've seen this. We've had Red Tailed Hawks nesting in the area and used to hear them calling every morning. (True fact: Most "eagle calls" in media are Red Tailed Hawks because they sound more intimidating than the chittering from Bald Eagles.) One morning I was out and about and heard the "hawk" in the tree directly above me. I stopped and searched through the branches which were just starting to develop leaves. A bird the size of a hawk should have been easy to spot. After searching for a minute or two, I spotted a Blue Jay hopping around the lower branches.
> The function of these imitations is unknown.
I have a couple guesses.
* Blue Jays being jerks. * Blue Jays mob hawks and maybe just wanted to find one in the area. * Blue Jays just wanted to see what - if anything - would react to the potential presence of the hawk in the area.
- > DDR5 memory training.
That makes sense. I also have a newer host that uses DDR5 RAM. The first time I powered it up, I thought it was not working. While I was sitting there trying to figure out what to try nest, It finally came up. It gets better with time (or BIOS updates.)
- I have an old server motherboard that does not support UEFI. Otherwise it still runs fine.
I came here to ask why it matters to the GPU how the host boots. Does it need to load some drivers or firmware before the host OS? The only thing I found in the article was "... may lose access to important and necessary features of your motherboard,"
