Long rant: Almost every CEO misinterprets LEAN / Theory of Constraints philosophy. The goal is to track ypur product through /dev/production/manufacturing etc and only focus on improving flow and remove hinderences. By tracking that as focus and not $ you improve the system and product, and the savings of waste take care of the $. in the theory is a maxim of (manufacturing version) a workpiece product should never wait on a machine. This means a piece ready for work to be done should be able to move to next workstation and have an open resource ready, if that means two machines, with one idle typically, that is fine, since it means every stage can move forward to next and piece is accommodated. Some how almost every CEO interprets this to mean we buy one machine and schedule it for 100% uptime so it doesn’t wait empty. (Their lease or purchase accounting even encourages this so they can show a lower cost per hour, even though that machine is a sunk cost you have to pay for regardless of use %) This mindset forces waste and bottle necks to various other parts of system and creates inefficiencies. When they see failures they start messing elswhere and then firing staff to cut labour overhead when they are focuse on profit, not improvement.

Sugar in everything

I hope sonething better comes along because google ruined their search engine a decade ago. stract.com is probabky the closest to what google used to be.

As for chatgpt, it is not an index. It cannot refer you back to infornation it was trained on because it doesn’t build a massive indexed internet database.

It has some method of probable relations and conglomerarion of input. It is why it “hallucinates” information output, because it doesn’t “know” what is wrong or right info, it just fetches data based on probabilities of connections.

It is good at suggesting new music or movies based on your list of media you like, but it is terrible with actual factual info

Starts with NO wildlife will kill you, describes all the ones that can ;)

It is like Canada, we have Bears, Wolves, Moose and Polar Bears, etc.

Stay out of their way and you will be fine, they aren’t actively scouting homes to kill people.

You missed a group, those that accept it and realize death is the final stage of life and have a positive outlook.

My Cancer doctor said I was to happy for having a Cancer diagnosis. And another person I met at the hospital was also jovial. I asked him how he was positive, to see why we had a different outlook than those in dispair. He said “I have lived a good life, every day I wake up is a just a bonus day, why mope when it coyld be your last, enjoy it”

There was some study of heartbreak syndrome, apparently when a spouse dies the stress and emotions can mess with hormones/adreniline, etc and cause issues with the connective tissues in the heart (weaken or harden, I forget) and impedes the heart sonetimes till it stops working , so died of " broken heart " is a real thing

Debian and Ubuntu derivatives will not install, or if they do they wont boot, on one of machines…due to some weird bug issue thst other distros acknowledge and bypass. Had that been my first experience of linux I would hate it. Thankfully RPM based was my first experience and the hardware had no issues.

Are you ready for the ads?

Give browsh a try

Browsh images in CLI browser

I think that was their point no?, it is not people exactly , but an outside influence causing the issue. like the escalator doesn’t stop crushing people unless you hit the stop button. A poorly designed event leads to poor outcome. It’s why the Romans had the vomitorium exits instead of a single width passage, they planned ahead for everyone leaving at once

Pan and NonBinary is my understanding

Craigslist is fine if you use the email relay ( don’t use your phone number ) and pre-vet people. You can usually get a sense of who is legit. As far as coming to your house, andly stranger could they don’t need a craigslist invite. Just don’t say “today doesn’t work because I’m not home.” You can also check if there is a local hobby group on Facebook Market place.

This. If it was your sole tool for daily tasks it makes sense, once a month to edit a config file…not so much.

When I started working we had HP Unix Silicon Graphics systems, VI was our only text editor…so I have some commands as muscle memory. The rest of commands I open my tractor feed help printout from 30 years ago

Cities other than Toronto build bus and rail infrastructure. if i have to drive to the office it is 1.5 hours with traffic, so I prefer the bus, it takes 2 hours due to additional stops, but It also meana I have freedom to read, chat, work on something that I could not do in the car. And the city already has a plan to extend ight rail into our area…so looking foreward to hopping on the train system and then driving or riding will be same time or less

Dd with count does work. scroll down to: Use dd, with the count option. response
