I understood like "even as they made us work on Saturday, we sometimes had the luck of having some afternoon snack", and I guess crayfish might be popular there. Or maybe it's a mistranslation.
Well, that's basically the core of Anaconda, and it's working for them.
That said, I've checked Anaconda's site, and while it used to be "Anaconda [Python] Commercial Distribution", "On-Prem repositories", "Cloud notebooks and training"... during the last year they've changed their product name to "Anaconda AI Platform", and all it's about "The operating system for AI", "Tools for the Complete AI Lifecycle". Eeeeh, no thanks.
not sure i hold out much long term hope for them either. both of these companies can eventually make money in a way that isnt shady - just not enough money to satisfy their VCs.
USB-C headphones for phones have their own audio interfaces, yep. Headsets and webcams have usb audio interfaces too.
Also, I guess there are a good bunch of devices that have audio interfaces that, internally, might be connected to the USB bus.
But I'm also thinking about sound "processing" oriented hardware that could run Linux. Sound recorders, mixers, synths, smart speakers... that could be based on an SBC or an ARM or similar processor.
I like T-Boxx, but they get very expensive (+€60, without accessories), and as I'm not using them commercially, it doesn't make sense for me.
Meanwhile, among others, I've placed alerts for their L-Boxx Mini, so I buy a couple of them each time they go €8 or less. (Less than 8 is unusual, but around 8 is possible)
Thanks, and shame on me for not looking it up first! I still wonder if the tracks were kept clock-synched or whether punch-ins would produce clock dislocations, and if they were somehow buffered...
This SoS article doesn't answer it, but provides more background.
Ha! I go to Japan every now and then, as I have friends there, and I've though a couple times about doing the Japanese driving license thing, that looked super easy back at the time (translate your current driving license, book a meeting in the exam center, do a short exam, and you're almost good to go). I was thinking about doing it in my next trip in two weeks, but seems like they've raised the difficulty several levels :)
if you drive on the right at home, they will fail you the first time on principle. If you drive on the left (aus, brit) you have a chance to pass the first time.
AFAIK this is only available for residents? People traveling can/should use the international driving permit. Both JAL (translation) and the center itself asked me for my resident card.
> do a short exam
Oh there's no exam needed at least! Unless you mean the eye test?
It’s not, you can get a Japanese driving license without living here
; but the government is making some noises to cut back on that (some recent semi-notable accidents caused by foreigners).
It’s apparently been a loophole for Chinese and Vietnamese tourists to get a license that is more recognized abroad then their own.
I think restricting this to residents makes sense; I’m more wary of making it more complex or difficult in other ways, but I also have that quest behind me so I don’t really care to be fair.
As to exam - that depends entirely as to where your “original” driving license is from.
Some countries just need a sufficient amount of paperwork (which sometimes is more difficult than the exam), some require just a theory exam, some require both theory and practical exam. In case of the US, it also differs state by state, because of course it does; why would anything ever make sense.
The "Spaniard" was mostly for reference, as right now I can't remember who sent me the information about the exams, so it might not apply to Europe or Spain.
But the documents required (at least previously to recent changes) for the license transfer were [0]:
1. Application form for Japanese Translation of foreign driver’s license
2. A driver’s license (original, in principle)
3. A photocopy of a residence card or a resident record etc [...] only required for licenses written in Arabic or Russian and licenses issued in certain countries[...]
And it didn't mention any residence documents. I don't know how that works today...
Oh yeah! I was unaware too! Nowadays I quickly jump to python instead of using Bash even for the simplest of scripts , but this could help creating tiny and easy to understand scripts for some integrations...
> I quickly jump to python instead of using Bash even for the simplest of scripts
You don't seem to respect the old, venerable, well-tested adage: "once your shell script becomes too complex, switch to a real programming language like python".
Or, the zen version (formally equivalent, but with quite a different tone): "once your program becomes sufficiently simple, turn it into a beautiful shell script".
The true power of shell script is to coordinate programs. Once you find yourself altering data with the shell constructs, that's the sign to use $LISP instead.

one might awk how much logic one can bash into a script before leaving the beloved shell
