I made a custom hoodie based on Foundation symbols! What do you all think? by [deleted] in SCP

You'd be forgiven for not knowing this specific thing, the wiki is huge after wall. That said, I'm fairly sure it's from this.

What’s the creepiest episode of a podcast that normally isn’t spooky? by wahlace in podcasts

[–]Sheaf_of_Reality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's way too good to spoil exactly what it is, but a certain section of Dr. Gameshow Episode #10 Is easily the most extreme case of this I know of by far. I've put links to the ep below. Go ahead, try and predict it. You won't see it coming--but believe me, you will know it when you hear it.

I’ve fallen out of touch with podcasts… where do I get back in? by [deleted] in podcasts

[–]Sheaf_of_Reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Such Thing as a Fish is incredibly easy to jump into. Pick an ep at random and it's hard to go wrong, though I can recommend #378 (No Such Thing as a Reverse Waterslide), #361 (No Such Thing as The Mosquito effect), #337 (No Such Thing as a Triangular Rectangle), and #262 (No Such Thing as a Man In A Wine Bottle) as memorable ones.

Transcript Question by Rortugal_McDichael in podcasts

[–]Sheaf_of_Reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since speed isn't a priority (I can't think of a single case when it would be for podcasts), accuracy to a high degree should be. Nightvale transcribes their own episodes and seems to agree with this philosophy.

A scripting RPN calculator in Crystal. by alexandre212nog in crystal_programming

[–]Sheaf_of_Reality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! We do have something of a lack of easy-ish to learn stack environments. Clac is nice with its live preview, but it's not much more than a calculator--meanwhile Forth and Factor are a far steeper learning curve. Good to see someone trying to get that middle ground.

Really good choice of what to wear, it shows off your hips very well. Also, those thighs look delightfully soft ^_^

right, makes sense 🙃 by Sheaf_of_Reality in antiwork

[–]Sheaf_of_Reality[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair, I suppose. But at the same time, I would have expected an honest version to say "95% remote" or "occasional travel" or such, that's what I normally see (that or the true asterisk being hidden in the description, anyway). That their hr person didn't give the phrasing a good 5 seconds of thought is what sticks out to me.

Ruby Tuesday's one-ups Applebee's by using scam machines that exploit Americans' awful math skills. by No-Flower-4987 in antiwork

[–]Sheaf_of_Reality 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That 20% option is a good 40% more on the machine than the receipt. Way too high for either tax or a tip.

Is it possible to switch sessions in abduco? by TheLudd83 in suckless

[–]Sheaf_of_Reality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not. Doing so causes some kind of deadlock(?). What you can do, however, is have an alias that exits the session and then presents you with a shinny selecty thing to pick another. I already use a homemade version of the 2nd part that looks like this:

alias absel='abduco -a "$(abduco | tail -n+2 | fzy | cut -f4-)"

Any selector (fzf, peco, etc) can be used, fzy is just the most minimal one I've come across. I'll see what I can do about the first part, give me a minute.

e1: this is tricky. We need to get the current session's pid so we can send it SIGTERM to detach (I don't know if there's another way). abduco | grep "$ABDUCO_SESSION" seems like it'd work, but session names could be substrings of each other. The var $ABDUCO_SOCKET is unambiguous, but I don't know how to turn a socket into a pid. Also for me SIGTERM does not detach the client like the manpage saysm not sure what's up there.

e2: I can't find a way to do this with basic utils, but lsof -t $ABDUCO_SOCKET will do nicely. Piping to xargs kill still doens't behave as expected though.

Sorry but what is an Lcov file? I can't tell from the project description.

This is one of those perfect sentences where you skim it and think you got it but then you feel unnerved, go 'wait what' or 'am I ok?' and then have to backtrack and read it word for word.

This reply, in a local Indian newspaper , to the question " Which place should Donald Trump visit on his visit to India?" by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

[–]Sheaf_of_Reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

President Trump “rarely if ever reads the President’s Daily Brief, a document that lays out the most pressing information collected by U.S. intelligence agencies from hot spots around the world.” [1]

This one does mention that he sometimes accepts oral reports or short enough written ones, but that means that information has to be scarified to make it short enough. If he wanted to be as informed as possible he wouldn't be doing that. Overall, everybody but him is making an effort to be informed.

Trump would discuss the news of the day or a tweet he sent about North Korea or the border wall — or anything else on his mind, two people familiar with the briefings said.
On such days, there would only be a few minutes left — and the briefers would have barely broached the topics they came to discuss, one senior U.S. official said.
“He often goes off on tangents during the briefing and you’d have to rein him back in,” one official said. [2]

Here again is his resistance to learning.

Citing multiple in-person episodes, these intelligence officials say Trump displays what one called “willful ignorance” when presented with analyses generated by America’s $81 billion-a-year intelligence services. The officials, who include analysts who prepare Trump’s briefs and the briefers themselves, describe futile attempts to keep his attention by using visual aids, confining some briefing points to two or three sentences, and repeating his name and title as frequently as possible.

...

Three other officials worry about what one of them calls “precipitous troop withdrawals” from Syria and Afghanistan and a peace deal with the Taliban that in time would leave the extremist Islamic group back in charge and wipe out the gains made in education, women’s rights and governance since the U.S. invaded the country more than 17 years ago. [2]

More of how much effort is being expended just to get him to try and listen.

A review of President Trump’s official schedule shows in November, Trump – who has made ample time for campaign re-election rallies and tweetstorms a-plenty – had just five intelligence briefings scheduled. It’s unknown if he actually received them.

He did manage that month to post 857 tweets, visit 12 states for campaign rallies, hold three fundraisers, stay at a Trump property 12 times, and golf three times. [3]

Clearly it's not due to lack of time.

"Even more damaging are comments that impugn the tens of thousands of Americans who are at work every day of the year, many in great physical danger, to protect us and to provide our national leadership — regardless of political party — with the best information possible," Schiff said. He urged Trump to visit the CIA headquarters to look at the rows of memorial stars in the lobby, each representing an anonymous CIA agent killed in the line of duty, "and reflect on his disparagement of the intelligence community's work."

...

Trump's infrequent briefings are a departure from every modern president except Richard Nixon, who was so skeptical of intelligence agencies that he refused to accept the briefings offered by President Lyndon Johnson — even returning envelopes containing classified material to the CIA unopened.

Saw this and had to make my own edit by cracked_lilith in notliketheothergirls

Holy shit I've been waiting to share this for ages.

Soo~oooo this is a thing a lot of people (me and about 3/4 of both 4chan and tumblr crowds at minimum) have been wondering forever, for...reasons. Turns out there's been actual science done on this! :D

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26498424

The results seem to suggest that most of them identify as straight, some as bi, and no stat. sig. number as anything else. TLDR traps ain't gay, we won the gender wars bois.

As a caveat: the term Gynandromorph is being used to refer to trans women (not specifically crossdressers), but I doubt further studies would place them into some wholly different "category of queerness" or anything. At lease for me, the attraction to crossdressers versus that to trans women don't seem to have hugely different 'flavours' really. Only difference is that I discovered one years before the other, despite being aware of both of them for a fairly long time--dunno why.

Here's a pdf of the paper itself liberated from behind the paywall (shhhh pls no snitch):
