if it is the difference between heartburn everyday and not, then 100% worth it

Yeah its a tough crowd sometimes. Especially when doing that training with our customers.

I’ll never forget the time I was explainging how something worked and one of the customers interrupts me saying, “I don’t care about this – can you just show me where to click?”

you can easily avoid it by making your files 400 and then using mv instead

I used to do some linux training for new hires at my old job. The company had a training room with a rack of servers for lab work.

It was a training on how to deploy the product on a customer server. I personally wrote the instructions and tested them on the lab machines after a fresh install.

I had others test the lab instructions. I even had people from non-tech roles verify that they too could do the labs by following the instructions.

Still I get a guy in the training complaining that “this doesn’t work” and I can see from the error on his screen that he must have skipped one of the steps in the lab instructions.

He’s not even trying to figure it out. Even though others are finishing, he just decided that it doesn’t work and gave up.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t solve the work flow issue as my goal is to get my written text into a modern format that works with everything else I use, such as ascii or markdown.

Word Grinder hits all the marks.

I tried this setup for a bit. I liked Word Perfect for Dos but converting files to my linux desktop was a pain and I never found a workflow I liked.

For undisturbed writing, I use a laptop running a minimal cli only linux install with Word Grinder. Its a modern text mode writer app that stores files in text or markdown.

Everyone else agrees they are.

Really? Can I see the survey you sent everyone but me to determine this?

The story is not about a new breakthrough or even Energy tech at all. Its about policy.

The common definition of technology is any practical application of scientific priciples.

So yes, a shower head, a shoe horn, and chopsticks are all technology.

However, in the context of News and Discussion, Technology typically means Computing, Internet, Electronics, Telecoms, AI, Energy Tech, etc and usually with a focus on new developments, product releases, new breakthroughs, etc.

How is this a technology story?

welcome to the blocklist

Every project eventually makes their own package manager. Its pretty insane if you stop and think about how routinely the package manager is re-invented.

It seems like the author is confusing open source with Open Source. The latter has a formal definition which includes a lot more than simple access to source code.

I also agree that no one is entittled to free support or enhancements, bugfizes, etc.

Lack of podcasts is a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

I can barely read the site. Light gray text on a bright white background is fucked up for people with even slight vision degradation.
