The sells pitch for apt is "Apt is a newer, more user-friendly version of apt-get." Apt has been around for 10 years at this point, so if they haven't switched they probably aren't going to.
The primary difference between apt and apt-get is apt has better dependency resolution and apt cleans up after itself when you do upgrades (it uninstalls packages that are no longer used).
The apt command also merges functionality from apt-get and apt-cache.
With apt you don't have to use two separate tools to search for packages to install them. That's probably at least a moderate usability improvement for many people since you don't have to figure out whether you need to use apt-get or apt-cache for some particular command.
Speaking for myself: both apt and apt-get are different frontends to the same package management system and repository, which is shared by Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and other Debian-based distros. I like the package management system; which frontend one uses (apt, apt-get, aptitude, nala, etc) is of secondary importance, as they differ only in user interface and aesthetics.
`apt` (the program) is a relatively recent addition to the APT (Advanced Package Tool) ecosystem - until not that long ago, `apt-get` was the way to install packages, and `apt` is now a "cleaner" way of interacting with APT.
I think they mean the repos. I wouldn't be surprised if apt-get is usually an alias for apt, but I don't know, I just type in apt and what I want to do.
On a server we use nala instead, it's quite nice actually, so maybe I'll start using it elsewhere too.
Steam is a video game app store for PCs. Back when MS added their app store to windows, the people who make steam (Valve) started working on Proton (wine based?) to get windows video games to work on Linux. Originally Valve said Ubuntu was the only Linux distro they officially supported. Then they started their own distro based on Debian. then they switched to their distro to arch.
TLDR Valve, the company that makes Steam, works on getting games to work on Linux, but they have been kind of all over the place.
Speculation significantly influences the price of gold. But, as you say, it has many practical uses beyond wealth storage and jewelry.
Bitcoin, or any cryptocurrency, is built on the ashes of burnt electrons. The cost of burnt electrons to make a Bitcoin is slightly variable as the blockchain puzzle gets harder and new minting engines come online. Therefore, the cost of Bitcoin should not fluctuate as it does. This leads me to the conclusion that price fluctuations are solely driven by speculation.
I believe the same principle applies to stocks. A stock's fundamental value is the sum of all the company's assets divided by the number of shares. Every price variation is a psychological projection of fear or desire. It has nothing to do with reality.
The expectation of a x percent increase in the market over time is similarly based on projections rather than reality. Yet, we base our retirement funding on such insubstantial speculation.
Many people think of the stock and cryptocurrency markets as casinos. I think of them more like three-card Monte. You play, you get fleeced.
Having costs doesn't mean something has any fundamental value. You can go in private where nobody can see you and burn some money, that has a cost but no benefit, not even as performance art. Destroying something of value does not necessarily create something of value.
"Detailed in the Nature Astronomy paper, among the most compelling detections were amino acids – 14 of the 20 that life on Earth uses to make proteins – and all five nucleobases that life on Earth uses to store and transmit genetic instructions in more complex terrestrial biomolecules, such as DNA and RNA, including how to arrange amino acids into proteins."
WTF. IMHO this is big, if there really was no contamination.
It is close to my degree, and it was always the most likely explanation. I am not saying there was purpose, I am not saying there was gain of function, but the connection to the Wuhan lab was obvious.
Don't suspect maliciousness if something can be explained by stupidity!
I'm sure I don't really have to point this out, but...
The last thing you would ever want to do is associate your domain name with gross, offensive content like this. The web is crawled all the time for snapshot data.
Additionally, you're more likely to cause your own (potential) users to stumble on this than anything else.
IMO, the best policy is almost always transparency. If you were to redirect users (and referrer-based redirects are a fragile thing), send them to a phishing/spam awareness page and explain that they most likely arrived from such a source.
"for the crime he was actually found guilty of, the sentence was unfair and unreasonable."
Was it? Based on current law in the US?
While I do not know English Common law well, in many jurisdictions, every part of the drug dealing is drug dealing. Even if you never touch a drug and just provide payment processing services, transport or whatever, as long as you are aware of it and profit from it, it is drug dealing. So every transaction on Silk Road would also be his crime. And there were many, many many. On the other hand, for non-first degree murder, in several jurisdictions his sentence would have maxed out at 15 years. First time offender, he could have walked after 10.
I use Bodhi Linux but, besides the Desktop, this is bascially Ubuntu.
