Similarly, I did group therapy for a few years, and found it highly and profoundly rewarding.

It's much more structured, with a facilitator to help reduce the possibility of dangerous behaviours. It forced me to confront aspects of myself I otherwise might never have. It also (I think) gave me greater insight into what might be behind people's public faces.


Everything I've known anything about first hand has been utterly garbled - or was completely made up - when written up in Private Eye.

The first sentence makes no sense.

You cannot live by thinking alone.


You can only live by thinking. It's how you experience the world and how you move yr limbs.


Says who? Trillionaire capitalist overlords?


Isn't that because of posix?


Powershell is not posix compliant and does not pretend to be. Like conditionals using `()` instead of `[]` is already a clear departure from posix


Don't know if this is definitive, but:

POSIX Korn shell, specifically, according to Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerShell#Grammar

so maybe it inherited 2>&1 from Korn shell, which in turn was POSIX.

But yeah, Powershell was not built purely to be a POSIX shell, but I thought it tried to be compatible where it made sense (hence the seeming clash of cultures).


I don't think they were talking about pwsh? pwsh actually has types and is its own programming lang unlike *sh, so it doesn't rely on builtin command exit codes.


If you place a sports bet online, odds (!) are that it will run through tcl in its business logic. I may even have written some of it.


Engineers can definitely contribute to the problem too, in my experience.


Whatever we all television now, television then was literally "vision at a distance", which Baird was the first to demonstrate (AFAIK).

The TV I have now in my living room is closer to a computer than a television from when I grew up (born 1975) anyway, so the word could mean all sorts of things. I mean, we still call our pocket computers "phones" even though they are mainly used for viewing cats at a distance.


Hard disagree with all of this. I feel like I am constantly lamenting the simplicity and usability of old scrollbars and cursing their will o the wisp modern implementations.

Scrollbars used to be invisible to me. They only bubbled up to my consciousness when I needed them, and then there was no friction in their use. Now I am having to think about them constantly. To me that is 'standing out'.
