Dick Grune is one of those quietly foundational figures in computing.

At the University of Amsterdam, he co-developed #MINIX, the teaching OS that inspired Linus Torvalds to create #Linux.

He also created the original #CVS prototype, paving the way for collaborative source control in early free software. Even his Unix tools, like diff for MINIX, carried forward into the ecosystem.

Academia.eduDick Grune - Profile on Academia.eduI am a retired computer scientist with a keen interest in languages. My present main interest is the synchronic and diachronic structure of the Korean language.

Went to #CVS - tried to buy some medicated gel. They didn't have the trusted brand everyone wants, only their brand at twice the price of #Kroger.

Went to the counter to pay, the cashier walked away to do something else.

I walked out. I should have taken the medication.

> 根據《移工便利商店大調查》發現,超商是移工消費頻次最高的通路,有 5 成移工每週進超商消費至少 4 次,更有 2 成移工,幾乎天天進便利商店消費。換句話說,超商是移工工作場所跟住所以外,最常造訪的地方,是他們的第三生活空間。

> 值得注意的是,移工消費頻率跟台灣人差不多,平均每 2 天就會進超商消費一次,但客單價卻是台灣人的 2 倍,因為喜歡一次買齊、偏好多組入產品。

> 在調查中發現移工最喜歡的商品,竟然沒有咖啡,詢問之下才發現,是因為他們看不懂咖啡菜單,後來就在 Let's Café 電子面板上增加印尼文與越南文,也在每個品項前面加上編號,方便點餐。

> 在交流活動上,全家同仁問移工朋友通常怎麼挑選想吃的鮮食,對方就指著一個咖喱飯,告訴他像那種的就可以,原因是上面有「牛」的圖片,讓他知道那是牛肉口味。因此全家也重新盤點鮮食品項,針對近 80 項沒有豬肉的產品,貼上不含豬肉的標籤;另外,也設立不含豬肉的熟食專區,把熱狗、包子餡料改為雞肉。

@calligraffiti Thank you! I see on #Readwise 's website that it allows to export text in #Markdown and #CVS format, as well as to note-taking apps. Does it also allow to export an entire #ebook with fresh highlights to my computer and leave it there in #epub format outside any application? The reason why I am asking is that I am not sure that in 10 years most of all these #ebook applications still exist, while it is more likely that the #epub format survives.

$ git commit murder

because

$ cvs commit murder

didn't have quite the same audience-appeal and

$ ci murder

sounds more like a police procedural where the confidential informant gets bumped off. 😉

So as I am doing experiments for finetuning parameters for #wakegp, I noticed the repository is taking a lot of space, more than 0.5GB. I asked in #codeberg #Matrix room. As they have limits.

One of their people did git gc and that ~700MB turned into under 200MB. I learned a lesson here. You can use git gc for housekeeping of your #git repository. It also does compression.

I wonder when could I master git an learn all of its wonderful features.

PS: In non profit services like codeberg, the resources you use aren't paid with your data. Then you have to be careful to not waste their resources. If you've got a huge repository on codeberg, it would be a good idea to do a git gc so the resources would be available for other users.

Hey, when I tell you I have super powers, you better believe me! #CVS even knows I am a super hero! I'm so fast at online shopping they said I am super-human, I'm so fast I'm a bot, & so fast in fact that I am a DDoS attack. Hey @fosstodon I don't want a check mark next to my name, I want a cape!

I've just been to CVS to get a medicine. Then I got something else, and make the mistake of asking for a printed receipt. I was treated to a saga.

I'd post a picture, but I'm uninterested in performing the edits that would eliminate PII, so I'm going to link to an article instead.

Anyway, I'm wondering how the marketing meeting went.

:catthinking:

A: There's a problem with our rebates.

B: What is it?

A: People are ignoring them.

B: I see.

C: What if we just added more rebates? Then, it would be impossible for them to ignore them.

A and B: Great idea!

[Weeks later.]

A: There's a problem with our rebates.

B: What is it?

A: People are ignoring them.

B: I see.

C: What if we just added more rebates? Then, it would be impossible for them to ignore them.

A and B: Great idea!

[Weeks later.]

A: People are still ignoring the ream of rebates we print on the receipts.

B: I see.

C: Hear me out! We should write an entire saga on the receipts. "And then Harald the Great set off on his long ship to find the rebate to rule them all." The receipts won't fit into the customer's pocket, and they'll be forced to pay attention to the rebates.

A and B: HAHAHAHAHA! Brilliant!

[Weeks later.]

A; Didn't work.

B: How come?

A: Nobody is interested in our rebates.

C: Why do you say that?

A: Would you use a rebate for a rusted tin can, a busted car transmission, or a bag of snot?

C: I see...

B: Actually, the bag of snot one sounds appealing.
