I’m used to implementing C# LINQ (method syntax) queries, which I like a lot (for simple queries) as a functional style linear data transformation process.

It’s a bit different than classic procedural scripts, but most things and scripts operate on data either way, where it’s no worse and can be better in terms of scoping.

When the simple, direct implementation does not succeed, I tend to do it step by step. Query into a variable, then I can print out the variable, verify my assumptions, and then start from the variable, continuing with the next set of transformations. Using stored json files instead of just variables can also be helpful.

It could certainly change some more, given that it’s not a 1.0 stabilized API. Still, I find it comparatively stable. Specifically, the core stuff.

I’ve used Nushell at work to work with a mass of BSON files for managing “IoT” devices. After implementing a Rust plugin for BSON, Nushell was very useful, and everything else would have been much more of a hassle.

There’s also !nushell@programming.dev, btw.

But I bought only one HDD 😞

Yeah, I experienced a similar barrier.

I got interested and hooked on the description, but hadn’t used it productively or made the switch. Trying to use it felt quite irritating. After a few instances like that (maybe three to five), I had something I wanted to do and committed to finding the appropriate commands and syntax. After one or two such cases, I felt more comfortable, and progression was much easier through needing and finding additional individual commands, etc.

Because it’s so different, there’s definitely a barrier, which I think is mainly the set of commands you have to know and, at times, data transformation flow (records vs tables vs lists, and the appropriate mental model to use the correct operations on them).

I didn’t use special resources or a full guide or introduction that was not the official docs.
Mainly official Nushell docs, command help/docs, web search, and at times LLMs.

Nushell - I love that it exists, and I find it a joy to use over other shells - stable and rich enough as a productive driver, and being actively developed towards a stable 1.0

C# - three more days until the next release, which adds only a few useful-to-me extensions, but the existing base, stability, and usefulness are part of its charm

“requires” may have been a more fitting term, but it implies/can be read as the removal hasn’t happened yet

The comment I replied to expands from a cat death to a person being dragged. It expands to general accountability.

that have gone on for 100s of years in governments… isn’t big and scary

When I look back there’s several things I find scary. We’ve had better decades, and I didn’t want to go back.

Pointing these things out and running alarm bells is important. That is a systematic recurring problem doesn’t change anything about the problems at hand.

Are you saying “there have been things like this before so we should see it as normal and not do anything about it or point it out”?

My safe code is 1234. What are you using?

Burry similarly made a long-term $1 billion bet from 2005 onwards against the US mortgage market, anticipating its collapse. His fund rose a whopping 489 percent when the market did subsequently fall apart in 2008.

We may have to wait for another three years.

I looked into the article to find out how long a timeframe he is betting. Unfortunately, it does not say.

Help, I’m in a loop - between this ask Lemmy and this comment

It shifted with age and with their separation. As a kid, yes, a lot of contact. Later on, no, not much communication. In between mainly during meals, I guess. As far as I remember anyway.

When I moved away there was little contact. When I moved back we had more contact.

My mother, which I was very close/open with died. My father drifted into “alternative thinking”, during covid I increased distance because I was unable to assess risk through them, and it never really recovered. Today, the very different world view and reasoning base are hindrances to being closer.

On Lemmy web you don’t even have to open the article. This info/content is in the content teaser.

Safety is part of the business strategy because it has to be, at least to the degree of public image and in business risk assessment.

This is not only about data transmitted to the US, but also about data located in the EU - but still under the Microsoft umbrella, a US company.

Even if you know or strongly suspect something it is important to confirm and have it on record.

Also, many people don’t have the technical or judicial expertise. It’s obvious to you because you already know it.

This admission and the following press coverage was likely a significant revelation and wake-up call for a lot of people.

I can’t imagine the cost.

Pay per view pay and cost is very low. Per click is better but still not a lot. Using AI world mean investing significantly more money.

Seems like it would be a money dump.

People get jail time, what do we do with machines?

Hold the manufacturers and operators (specifically for company operated) accountable?

The machine is the product, not the operator. We don’t jail classic cars either. We hold their operators accountable. The one in control. Self driving has a shift of who is in control - now “indirectly”.

Back to virtual RAM on disk. At least we have SSDs now.

If they have their computers blow up they may not reach that far future point.

It really depends on your workflows/use, whether you make use of a lot of RAM, and possibly even 128 GB today. That kind of size is certainly niche.

I suspect RAM may become increasingly useful with the shift from pure chat LLM to connected agents, MCP, and catching results and data for scaling things like public Internet search and services.

When I think of database system server software, a lot of performance gains are from keeping used data in RAM. With the expanding of LLM systems and it’s concerns, backing data, connective ness, and need for optimisation, a shift to caching and keeping in RAM seems to suggest itself. It’s already wasteful/big and operates on a lot of data, so it seems plausible that would not be a small cache.
