Circa 1993, at the age of 13. Took me weeks to download Slackware from BBSs and get it installed. Played around with Mandrake (got an installer CD on an event). Eventually settled on Debian (which took me another few weeks to download, then burn the CDs and install it).
Used Debian on all my computers for many many years. Eventually got a MacBook (around 2005 IIRC) and have been on Mac laptops since. My gaming desktop runs Debian (wrote a blog post about my setup recently: https://blog.c10l.cc/09122023-debian-gaming). My servers, VMs and containers are usually Debian or something directly based on it (Devuan on some containers, Proxmox on my homelab’s bare metal).
I’ve used many other distros along the way, either for work or to experiment. I have huge respect for Fedora on a technical level but still prefer Debian’s philosophy and the apt ecosystem.
How do you think coffee is made? You infuse water with coffee beans, normally ground. How strong your coffee is depends on the concentration of actual coffee vs. the "base" (water). It's the same with tea.
Black coffee can be an espresso, or something with more water. Generally speaking, an espresso is more concentrated (and thus stronger) than an Americano.
A 300ml Americano with 1 shot of espresso has a certain coffe-to-water ratio. A 300ml Americano with 2 shots of espresso will have 2x as much coffee content despite it having the same volume.
In any case, an Espresso is mostly water, even the strongest, tinture-level ones. It's made by literally passing hot water through the beans so the water gets infused with coffee oils and alkaloids. It's mostly water. In fact, it's nearly all water.
Hey, no need to be sorry. I appreciate the search for correctness and especially the reference document.
Here's what I've found.
There is no mention of km/h in section 4, "Non-SI units that are accepted for use with the SI". It does mention h, making it a "non-SI unit that's accepted for use with the SI."
km/h is its own unit separate from h. It's a unit of speed, derived from km and h.
My gut feel at this point is that km/hcould be an SI unit since it's a unit of speed derived from an SI unit for distance and a non-SI unit accepted for use with the SI for time.
Furthermore, searching the document for mentions of km/h, there's this bit on page 127, section 2.1, "Defining the unit of a quantity":
For a particular quantity different units may be used. For example, the value of the speed v
of a particle may be expressed as v = 25 m/s or v = 90 km/h, where metre per second and
kilometre per hour are alternative units for the same value of the quantity speed.
This paragraph suggests (even though it doesn't outright say it) that km/h is indeed an SI unit.
I haven't found anything clearly saying whether km/h is an SI unit or not. Not on that document, not by searching the web. The research above makes me lean towards the idea that it is one.
If you found otherwise, I'd love to compare notes and learn further.
It’s no surprise Apple uses CUPS. They wrote it, after all.
Edit: TIL Apple didn’t write CUPS themselves but they bought the company that did it pretty early in the game. Here’s a LWN article from the time, exposing some of the worries that came with the news of the acquisition: https://lwn.net/Articles/242020/
On macOS I’ve been using Ollama. It’s very easy to setup, can run as a service and expose an API.
You can talk to it directly from the CLI (
ollama run) or via applications and plugins (like https://continue.dev ) that consume the API.It can run on Linux but I haven’t personally tried it.
