on: test, [, and [[ (2020)
That's a pointless example.
[ "$foo" = bar ] && echo Yes
For substring matches, [ and * globs are generally good enough.
[ "$bar" = extra* ] && echo '$bar began with extra'
Bash's regex dialect is primitive and rarely worth fussing over. For anything complicated, use another tool be it grep, awk, perl, or such. There are diminishing returns of obsessing over doing everything in bash when a complicated task demands more capabilities suitable to another tool with greater reusability, modularity, and intrinsic types.

I don't see any source code, wiring diagrams, or service manuals. Clickbait?

on: Ultra-white ceramic cools buildings with high reflectivity
Yep. It's usually the wrong tree species, wrong placement, or poor maintenance that leads to problems. I had 100'+ pine trees in my hard. Beetles were somewhat of a problem but the woodpeckers were all over them and systemics helped.
Grew up in an house with 60' Australian willows that became too fragile and messy and were too close to a structure. Also, never get lemon trees because thorns from hell.

on: Ultra-white ceramic cools buildings with high reflectivity
There are different types of large trees with variations in structural strength of root systems that can be planted far enough away to not be a fire or mechanical hazard but close enough for shade. Minimizing surface roots by choosing the right species. Where I grew up, there was a storm with straight line winds 110 mph that took out every fence but only half of the trees and very few of the old trees.

Yep. Pine needles are the worst. Gutter guards are a timesaver.

Interesting. Barium Sulfate (Spectraflect) was likely the previous record holder at 98%.

on: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Committing to Netplan for Network Configuration
It would be more useful for the various major distros to pitch in for easy, simple, congruent CLI, UI, declarative, and API configuration management for common advanced configuration.
Creating artificial lock-in that doesn't work is a double-barrel footgun blast.
The Ubuntu people are like the SystemD people: they just want to reinvent things from scratch and shove it down everyone's throats without any consideration.

Friends don't let friends Ubuntu and drive. Don't do crippled, insecure commercial-ware run by crazy people.

They're also more dangerous to their occupants than mid-sized sedans.
There should also be an SUV tax.

on: First trial of base editing in humans lowers cholesterol, raises safety concerns
I have FHC. I'll have to check my SNPs export to see if I have this specific mutation. Total cholesterol is always 230+ but thankfully I don't have arteriosclerosis or coronary disease per cardiac workup including catheterization.

on: Czech news crew in SF covering APEC robbed at gunpoint while filming
SFPD is actually more useful and chill than most major city police departments.
APD in Austin doesn't actually do much. Property crimes are not responded to at all, but they pretend to occasionally about 48 hours later. If you want personal safety, your only option is to conceal carry and defend yourself because the police have a long call backlog, morale is terrible, and are critically underfunded and understaffed by over 150 officers.

The 24 hour Jack in The Box in the Tenderloin (SF) had 2 armed guards. Around the corner, crack dealers openly sold rocks.

The US spends the most money while getting the worst results in many areas. It's a corrupt, unequal, third-world country with homeless favelas in most major cities and no universal healthcare.

This is why it's stupid to live or visit California. Criminals can rob you at gunpoint, but law-abiding citizens aren't allowed to defend themselves. I'd rather be in Austin and conceal carry.

I don't understand the point of posting this. This company is a state-owned enterprise of the PRC. Sure they're going to Kafkaesquely track Uyghurs and everyone else for social credit "reasons."
I don't know if anyone remembers the involuntarily organ donations investigated due to absurdly short waiting lists not found in any other country.
