In the US, a conductor is the one who checks tickets, makes announcements, and delegates tasks to the crew to help ensure things keep moving on time.

The locomotive engineer is the one who is “driving” the train. They run the engine and communicate with dispatch and traffic control to keep them informed where this particular train is fitting into the overall juggling act,. They also make every effort to keep things safe (watching for signals, obstructions, etc.).

I’m not 100% sure if the terminology is different outside of the Us.

Very nutritious, but they smell like death.

It’s about 7%. That is a lot.

The real question is, what is the overall population growth rate compared with before? I wonder how many people are leaving TX, or (more likely) deciding to not move to TX, compared with previous years.

I bet people love working with you…

Now I’m hoping that the devs add the ability to use a different font for comments and/or docstrings.

I have had mine set up to use a different font for comments for quite a while, but I don’t recall how I set it up that way. If I remember, next time I’m in front of my computer, I’ll see if so can figure it out and respond again.

Thanks for your feedback, Kit. You may be glad to realize that I had already done exactly what you suggest I should have done, which is recommend that OP get checked out. Have a great night!

Welcome to Lemmy!

You might want to look into getting checked out for ADHD. Someone close to me was diagnosed as an adult a few years ago, and your behavior overlaps somewhat with their behavior. Many hours of making schedules and charting plans, but a strong mental block with putting plans into action to actually get things done. It’s more common than you’d think.

I’ll make this more extreme as a means of illustrating the point everyone else seems to be trying to get across…

Russia is a nation full of parents who love their children, artists and musicians creating interesting and new art, and rebels developing creative and novel approaches for resisting their fascist government. But, when people say that “Russia sucks”, those aren’t the reasons.

I’m honestly not sure. Does a jury vote need to be unanimous for a guilty verdict?

I’m just some idiot on the internet who doesn’t know what I’m talking about, but…

Is it possible this isn’t a mistake? If you’re going to try to win a trial through corruption and wrongdoings, it seems easier to illicitly win over (and have it stay quiet) one person than half of a jury, no?

Thanks for letting us know!

It’s my own fault, and the result of 30+ years of muscle memory building up. Plus, while I agree cmd isn’t nearly as powerful as powershell or wsl can be, when I’m in Windows it’s still the fastest way for me to do 90% of the simple things I need to do. I have a long history with it, and a thorough understanding of it, so I don’t really need to think for most of the things I’m doing there.

If I need to script something, or do anything that seems like it would be annoying to do in CMD, I hop into WSL pretty quickly and get to work with bash or python. The problem I have now is that I’ve developed a little muscle memory there as well… hence my issue with entering ‘ls’ everywhere.

That is interesting. I just remoted into 5 different machines at the office and none of them worked with ‘ls’. If you enter ‘ls /?’, does it give you a synopsis and argument list?

That is a fair statement, but also a different topic.

I am thankful to live in an age with WSL.

As of Aug 26, 2023, Windows command prompt absolutely does not recognize “ls” as a command.

Powershell is a different story.

Source: I type “ls” 40 times a day into a command prompt on my up-to-date win10 PC at work.

Thanks! I had already worked out the first bit and the last bit, but I hadn’t thought to look at that middle part. I appreciate your time and insight.

I don’t mind. I’m locked into this one because it functions well, handling all of the idiosyncrasies that can be involved in tennis scoring (3 vs 5 game sets, tie breaks, etc.).

It started as “I could use this for table tennis scoring at our cabin, it can’t be the at hard…” (we use tennis scoring instead of ping pong scoring because we’re all tennis players), but now I just feel like it’s a challenge I want to figure out.

Update: I’ve been banging my head against this for another day and have made a bit of progress. I think part of my original problem has to do with CORS issues. I’ve gotten around this by running a local server and navigating to the local html file via http (http://local host:8080/tennis.html) instead of file (file:///drive/path/tennis.html).

After this, I was running into an error with https. I believed something in the js was forcing redirection to https protocol. I “fixed” this by changing the value of _0x15ea[1] from “https:” to “http:” in the tennis.js file.

Now, I am able to get the locally saved page to load in a browser, but none of the actions that normally update the score on the scoreboard are working. For example, when loaded from the original website (scorching.com), clicking on the game score (white boxes on right) will increase that player’s score by 1. Likewise, the “z” and “x” keyboard keys will increase the player 1 and 2 scores, respectively. (In case anyone isn’t familiar with tennis scoring, the game score numbers advance through 15, 30, 40…, so don’t be surprised that they aren’t going 1, 2, 3…

The other things on the page all seem to be working. Just the scoring isn’t working,or the inputs to activate scoring changes aren’t being recognized. (In the browser’s console I can see “scores 1” or “scores 2” being logged, which is the first instruction in the “scores” function, so I know the inputs are being recognized.) Appreciate any thoughts that might help me.

Looks like “offline mode” allows a page to keep working after its already been loaded, and then the computer is made offline. If this is correct, it won’t work for my situation.

I’m hoping to use this on a small machine that’s always offline, so it won’t have the chance to load the webpage from an online server.
