But in Hals case he simply discovers other problems and gets distracted, e. He could still change the bulb before he fixes the shelf. My workplace is theoretically involved in supplying IT functions to a university but mainly seems to employ an army of yak shavers. Ygg2 11 months ago parent prev next [—].

A: Totally!!! Journal of English Linguistics ; 35; DOI: Whereas studies of the perceptual dialectology of the United States as a whole have focused almost exclusively on regional dialect differences, respondents associated particular regions of California less with distinctive dialects than with differences in language English versus Spanish , slang use, and social groups.
The diverse socio linguistic situation of California is reflected in the emphasis both on highly salient social groups thought to be stereotypical of California by residents and nonresidents alike e. Californians don't screw in lightbulbs. They screw in hot tubs. A: Five. One to screw in the light bulb and four to share the experience. Actually, Californians don't screw in light bulbs, they screw in hot tubs.
Q: How many Oregonians does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: Three. One to screw in the light bulb and two to fend off all those Californians trying to share the experience. A: One. He gives it to six Californians, thereby reducing the problem to the earlier joke. Burned his lips on the exhaust pipe.
For New York cabbies, honesty and stopping at red lights are both optional. If you collapse on a street in New York, plan to spend a few days there. There are, in fact, whole neighborhoods that are zoned only for blond people. The only way to tell the difference between California and Sweden is that the Swedes speak better English.
West: The War Between the Coasts. In conversation recently, I told somebody "I'm from Southern California. This means I talk fast and say 'man' and 'dude' a lot. The cloud-based light-as-a-service product is called "The Sun.
I don't trust the Sun or light-as-a-service, I want to live completely self-sustained without relying on external light sources whose terms of use may or may not change next year. Sure, the Sun is free now , but that will change once they figure out how to monetize it. Originally, Sol offered open core with a premium "cult" option, but the support was nonexistent and eventually most of the customers cancelled.
Yeah, some users weren't ok with human sacrifice Light-as-a-service could work This is actually sounding like a perfect startup proposal. Sure, there's a large up-front cost for the startup followed by a long amortization period before you start actually making money, but that's what VC is for. Half the community to insist that daemons are against their philosophy. The other half to argue that it's an improvement on the old days when they had to bash rocks together to start a fire to have light.
One to accidentally try connecting the new lightbulb to a pipe, before realising it doesn't accept stdin. A system tester to insist that the room is still light during working hours.
There's more where this is coming from. If you want to help me write a book for ages entitled "ed and the awk", I have a first draft and would enjoy sharing it. The lightbulb never gets changed. It's still there buried under layers and layers of improvements meant to work around the limitations of the dead lighbulb including several other partially finished lightbulbs and an array of mirrors to try and cast some light around the room. The last time someone tried to go in and actually remove the lightbulb, they were lost and never returned.
Legends say they're still there trying to wrestle the bulb out from underneath everything. That slide is just shocking. Freddie Mercury? That second part is the key - so much stuff is designed "cloud first" and that introduces lots of delays and errors when the Internet isn't working perfectly. I do this via scripts for my Hue based outside lights.
My Hue Hub is blocked from accessing the internet too. Or simply deny to work without an internet connection, like Chromecast, even though you just want to stream local content when your internet is down. With enough eyeballs light bulbs are unnecessary. After which you have to follow the straightforward systemd service troubleshooting procedure: systemctl is-system-running systemctl list-units systemctl list-units -t service --all systemctl list-units --state failed systemctl is-failed light.
Oh, this is where HN gets on the topic. RMS asked me to post it somewhere, so he could link to it, but the other person's post was important for context and effect.
Well, in this particular case the reality got funnier than the joke. One to tell you to use arch. One to tell you arch is not necessary and Ubuntu works great. One to tell you that why not just use Debian, because it's the original pure form of Ubuntu? Then a FreeBSD hacker will come in and tell us about the manual pages.
The macOS user in the back meanwhile has already changed the bulb and is doing other things now. On Apple computers since , there are no user-replaceable bulbs.
Bring it in to the Genius Bar where it will either be swapped out under warranty in about 20 minutes, or, if out of warranty, will be handled for slightly less than the price of a new MacBook. Microsoft users have seventeen thousand lightbulbs to choose from. The free ones come with malware. The cheap ones vary in quality. The expensive ones come with no warrant of functionality, and all of them come with EULAs too long for any two lawyers to decipher identically.
The Slacker will look on forlornly from amongst his binders full of printed out Slackbuilds, and a lonely dot matrix printer. Yes, but with a mac you need to buy Apple Certified light bulbs, or else you'll be locked out of your house.
But have you tried turning off and on the power for at least 5 minutes? There is a known bug that happens with some vendors causing malfunction of the bus, losing power or bricking your device.

Basically Satan. That was a fun joke when it was originally posted according to Internet Archive but today some them are actually real things with smart homes and smart bulbs, different vendors, different protocols etc etc. It's missing the 1 guy that slips in "I use arch btw".
It's obvious from all the complaints that the lightbulb is contrary to Linux philosophy, and the project should be forked. We don't need to change it. Just work together and it'll come back on. After all, "many hands make light work. One can say it's old as the real problems started with the multicolor remote controlled LED lightbulbs. MR4D 11 months ago prev next [—].
One to change it. It's more like The first to buy one and change it. Why aren't there community done bulbs or printers or cars? The pinnacle of technology is mostly free and open source. Yet, I don't see this in any other industry sector. Light bulbs and cars have significant marginal costs that software does not have. Some types of software operating systems, DB, browsers also have a network or platform effect, so people actually have an incentive to get other people to use or even improve their software.
Even so, geek themselves are a pretty nice market. Would you not buy an open source printer? I know I hate HP after the last one died just after warranty ended and they have no spare parts whatsoever.
Same with other things. I would buy those things. And if they really are good they can become a mass market product. Yet, we only get a phone or something and that's it.
My answer would be: The cost of distributing or running a software package is almost zero, same is not true for hardware, followed by an argument of how hardware manufacturing depends on the economics of scale, unlike software. However, I soon realized your question is much deeper.
It is not "Would you not buy an open source printer? I'm not sure about the answer yet. The same user to repeat the above every day OP responds until OP gives up.
Anecdotally 1 if I do it offline. The internet sinks productivity. Love it. But at least they own their light bulb. Zenst 11 months ago prev next [—]. Most of the time the light bulb changes owners usually landfill and dictates when that is done.
Only slightly worse than Amateur Radio guys having discussions about antennae! My lightbulb works just fine. And to comment on it years later on hacker news. HN has its issues but its got its moments aswell.
Lost it at LaTeX. Hey, look, it's a GNU joke. There was no light bulb. Obligatory: 5 to say RTFM. Yes, the name is a bit cumbersome. I simply call my operating system "GNU", no need to specify the kernel. Paired with a neat interface black xterm on a solid black background without panel nor window decorations , people walk confusedly by my computer and ask: what's that wicked system of yours?
You forgot "and everyone clapped". I thought the sarcasm was obvious. Grep, ls, bash, g awk, grub, gcc, make, gzip, tar, time, plotutils, gimp, gnome, emacs and many, many other things. I don't want to diminish rms and gnu's work in progressing software freedom and these programs are of course big contributions to a lot of Linux systems. However, I use i3 instead of gnome, systemd isn't a part of gnu, I also use Firefox instead of Epiphany.
It's easier to refer to modular systems using the one guaranteed common element, in this case, the kernel. It's not necessary to specify every major user-space program. You are correct, it is not necessary to specify every major user-space program.
It's more like this: the whole OS is GNU the coreutils , minus the kernel most of which is device drivers. That's why they do it. Or at least why there are those that are passionate about the naming.
Also the reason why, had 4. Isn't the important thing that the job was done, not who did it? You ought to relax, take pride in the job well done, and not worry about the credit. This would be wise advice, if only the situation were like that—if the job were done and it were time to relax.
If only that were true! But challenges abound, and this is no time to take the future for granted. Our community's strength rests on commitment to freedom and cooperation. Technically the definitions are the same, but they have a different political message.
Just scream. Siri will think for you and automatically subscribe to all iServices. Telemetry included free of charge. Let me take you back to the s. Like Gates, some 20 years later, Lucas decided to diversify his product line. And he got to work on making vacuum cleaners. Unfortunately, it was the only product he ever sold that didn't suck. Customer: My lightbulb isn't working! Software engineer: That's odd, our reference lightbulb is working perfectly. How many hardware guys does it take to change a light bulb?
You may laugh, but as a teenager I rode around on a Bonneville. He wasn't called the Prince of Darkness for nothing. The interface also allow to comment, post and interact with the original HN platform. For suggestions and features requests you can write me here: gabrielepicco. HN Hacker News.
Login Register. Link Text. Show article. There's an open bug on the bulb's developer mail list. The same previous 6, to suggest to change the switch for a compatible one.
And finally: The father of the first user, who while everyone was discussing, went to the shop and bought the cheapest lightbulb. By sabon The article doesn't answer how many, so I've counted.
