We may not be disagreeing. I guess it depends what you mean by read.
Cool. I used to but mostly Chimera Linux these days.
That said, I probably have more instances of Debian running than anything else if you count VMs and containers.
The distro matters less than it used to now that we have Flatpak and Distrobox.
If you are hardcore, your distro puts /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/sbin in all in the same directory.
Einstein reportedly said “Never memorize something you can look up in a book”. When asked the speed of sound he said , “I do not know but that number is commonly found in textbooks”.
I am not going to spend my life reading manuals. Reading my furnace manual years before a problem arises is unlikely to help me.
However, I completely agree that RTFM is a great thing to do with confronted with a gap in knowledge or problem to be solved. Not the whole manual probably, just the relevant parts.
I think it is much more important to store ideas in your head than information. That said, those ideas do not come from nothing.
I might not read the man pages of every command on a Linux system. At least, not all of them. But I should know high-level what commands are available and what they generally do. That allows me to think of them when they would be useful. But I probably have no idea what the proper syntax is for any of them when I go to use them.
And “the manual” is not always the best place to get ideas, even if it is the authoritative source for specific knowledge.
Time spent reading the manual is time not spent doing something else. Spend your time learning. Spend most of it learning what is possible. In my view, that is the best strategy.
I am not much of a bash guy so it took me a moment to understand what this was doing.
Too bad I have to read so many man pages before I get to bash or sh.
It is costs. It is fragmentation (the biggest impact on cost). It is having the best plan and then finding that three years later, you have one of the worst because five new plans have been created above you at higher prices. Which means it is about losing features. The worst is when you pay for streaming and then get ads anyway!!
I subscribed to 5-6 networks through Prime (they frog boiled me into paying WAY more). Then they started playing ads on my account and, instead of paying the extra couple of bucks to get rid of them, I cancelled all my subscriptions.
It does if tech changes fast.
First, many rich people are older people.
Regardless of age, rich people bought expensive TVs when even the best ones were smaller. They still work great and have not been replaced.
Also, a TV is not as important to rich people. If they want to watch the game, they get tickets. The old screen is good enough. And a smaller screen probably fits nicer into their decor. In a poor household, the TV is the centrepiece and even if it is ugly, it looks better than the rest of the room.
Finally, rich people may be busier. I do not want this comment to be misunderstood but the reality is that television is just not as central to their lives.
Mostly though, I just think older TVs are smaller.
Ya. The CEO has a person that has a phone and a laptop.
Every time the CEO walks by he thinks “that guy has upper management written all over him”.
Sales still lower year-over-year in Vancouver and prices down year-over-year and compared to last month.
Also, sales are well below the 10 year average.
If it does stabilize in August, an inventory increase in September could send it back down.
House prices are still above the 20 year trend line though. Six months flat to down pricing will bring it in-line.
