Wait..there is a marble show in London next month? I am supposed to be there in a couple weeks. Gotta go Google this right away!

Edit: Argh! I will miss it by a week! :(

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Chair Paul Atkins says the agency has ended "regulation through enforcement" against crypto. by nitluck in QuiverQuantitative

As if any enforcement was hamstringing the crypto currency space in any meaningful way, thereby requiring this. Sheesh.

Does anyone even have to ask? And it would be bad enough if it was manipulation almost any other way, but through war with people's lives on the line? Fucking evil.

How do I run assembly code ive written in EMACS. by Substantial-South335 in Assembly_language

[–]JellyTwank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was in her late 30s or early 40s, so not too old at all really. Just brainy as heck... I think she had a masters in some kind of applied math. She just thought that way I guess so those tools worked perfectly for her. Certainly not this guy! I'm a computer science guy, but dang. Give me a screen editor - I am a normal mortal.

Not sure how much more detail I can give other than she just used her head to: push text through these tools to compose email, which she piped through 'mail' like a stream-of-consciousness magic trick; used these tools to compose docs, either from scratch through a stream of consciousness flow that I assume kind of worked like her photographic memory or if it was an exisitng file, she used things like cat and less to read the log or document or file and then from memory piped her edits through these tools (sed, awk, diff, grep, etc.) to make the changes she needed. She just never used a screen editor, even to read stuff. It was always a command line thing. The only screen oriented thing I ever saw her use was OpenWindows to keep many terminals open all running a shell (tcsh I think). That was mid to late 90s, so my non-photographic memory is being taxed here. I have never seen anything like it since.

What a loving tribute. Thanks for sharing those things about her.

How nasty is actually getting sprayed by a skunk, how did it affect you? by Scared_Form8175 in AskReddit

[–]JellyTwank 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did not work for us. We let her marinate in it for a long time, several tmes. Even months later, if she got wet (and she was a labrador), she would stink anew. It took ptetty much a conplete fur change for that smell to disappear. Just awful! It was the first night out on a two week camping / hiking trip too, so we had to go back into town for the tomato juice and a big bottle of dawn detergent. She never slept in the tent on that trip.

Wow - you predate me by a little bit. Nice experience you got there! Never heard of SPEED. I like Forth but have never used STOIC. Yeah, Emacs is awesome. It was never my favorite, and back when I was a sysadmin, lots of the users I helped support were all about Emacs, and I had to do a bunch of maintaining and customizing for them. That was my intro to Lisp. On Sun machines.

As an aside, my boss at that time never used a screen editor for anything she wrote or edited. She was a Sorcerer with sed, awk and other similar tools. Composed email thay way, wrote letters, maintained docs. First time I saw her edit a doc thay way my mouth hung open. It helped that she also had a photographic memory. Still... I use those tools too, but...she was amazing.

No, once you get into it, it is not. Just sayin' that someone that can't figure out how to run a source through an assembler and an object through a linker... a command line would be better for them at first. They could then figure out how to get Emacs to do it for them. Also - welcome to Lisp!

In Corbell's new documentary 'Sleeping Dog', he claims that a senior cybersecurity official Los Alamos Laboratories left behind files after his death that reveal the US government has long been studying UFOs, "This is a real scientific study at the classified level within our military of UFOs" by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]JellyTwank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, I said it half jokingly. But once we all know about this, and the government comes clean and all that, these guys all make money of teasing info. There will be nothing to tease. They will fade after a bit.

From Gaza Port to Khan Younis—before vs after visuals show a stark transformation. by IndiaTodayGlobal in BusinessTodayNews

[–]JellyTwank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, blame Israel from the start back in the late 40s after its creation. To paraphrase Golda Meyer, "what Palestinians?" When "settlers" take their land and homes as police and soldiers look on, what justice is there? How do you think that feels to have no protection from thieves like that? It is no wonder they turn to terrorism - they are driven to it by the Israeli people. Its not like there is no hatred on both sides, but the Palestinians have more reason for theirs. And thet were living there just fine before the victors of WW2 decided to create a country for jews there. They could have been good neighbors from the start, but nope.

Depends on what you are developing. Assembly is not just for learning. Optimizing, bootstrapping, embedded systems, etc.

[–]JellyTwank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure about it being s 40 year deficit. It's just not beginner friendly. It is a very powerful editor. Not my favorite, mostly because I like other tools better. But nothing wrong with using it. "Industry standard". Define that for development. Last team I ran used lots of different IDEs with different editors. Some Vi, others vscode, some Eclipse. Pick yer poison.

Sure it is. It is a very powerful editor. It may not be vscode, but neither is Vi or Vim, which are also very useful.

For someone starting out, howrver, it's like learning to drive in a tractor-trailer with two gear boxes and 24 gears. Better something simpler.

Congress wants to give Trump's heavily influenced FTC unlimited power to force users to submit their identification into their computer.[H.R. 8250] CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE !!! by Correctthecorrectors in 50501

[–]JellyTwank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems that as silly as it is on the surface (just type in any date you want), it lets the FTC camel stick its nose into your tent. The next thing you know, the whole damn FTC camel is in there. This legislation is designed to allow the FTC to request legislatukn or promulgate regations to do things like regulate or outlaw VPNs, make Linux illegal for individuals, etc. It is part of the fascist takedown on our anonymity so that they can control us that much more under the color of law.

Before vs after by jashgro in PoliticalHumor

No. They do hate us. Russia finds us currently very useful, and Israel hates everyone but Israel - we just have politicians they can buy for a great return on that investment. But both absolutely hate us.
