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.

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?

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. ;-)

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?

Children were most probably routinely exposed not just to nudity but also sex.

How did you "commit locally" with Subversion twenty years ago? And if "local commits" were a thing, what was Svk for?

Scrolling in the webpage crashed my browser (Firefox, ios).

I understand these two formulations to be equivalent. Would you spell out the difference? For me? Thx!

What do you mean? It's specifically for $(cat …) / $(< …): the latter is a faster equivalent of the former. Other than that, see my comment about $READNULLCMD.
