That is the future. Robotic caregivers for the elderly, and AI chatbots for the mentally challenged. Humanity is about to dehumanize itself, in the name of technological advancements.
Nice posting, thanks for that. I still cant really understand the hype around Gould and its goldberg interpretations. Yes, they are good. But no, they are far from the best I know. If you ever get the time and a recording, listen to Ragna Schirmer playing Goldberg. Her interpretation blows Gould's out of the water, IMO :-)
Gould is a sort of package deal. I like his Goldbergs but to see his “authentic self” I’d look at something a little kookier of his like his Alla Turca [1]. It will not be what you expect.
As a diehard terminal user, I think this headline should interest me. However, I am assuming this is some sort of JavaScript perversion? Visiting the link with lynx gives an empty page. Can anyone explain whats going on there to a non-GUI user?
Keyboard doesn't open on FF Android, so I can't use it (right now) either, but it seems to be a faux shell & TUI for searching DDG.
(I see green on black terminal aesthetic, $ prompt and a flashing cursor - banner text (in the 'shell') above explains I can (if the keyboard would open) run :help (or :send-feedback to tell them the keyboard doesn't w-- oh) which I assume would tell me how to query the search engine.)
Yeah, presumably JS if you can't load it. Though from what I can see without typing anything it could be done in CSS. (I suppose it's probably a SPA - results loaded in place without a page reload which, to be fair, would ruin the faux shell aesthetic.)
It's a CLI, not a TUI. I put quite a bit of thought into that decision, and whether to integrate a pager. See [1]. The workarounds are (1) limit the number of results per page with -n <num>; (2) use the -r, --reverse option to show the top results last.
It would be nice if there was a way to run a terminal command without auto-scrolling. So often I run something that spits out tons of error messages, only to have to scroll back up again to find out what happened.
This is so weird. In some US states, you can buy weed legally but hiring a prostitute is illegal. Where I come from, its the other way round. Go figure.
