Thanks for this explanation. This was my understanding as well, except for the GNU part.

I asked because the parent commenter directly above my first comment made the distinction between the operating system and the kernel. I wasn’t actually sure what the overall umbrella “OS” was for Linux, since as you say the kernel is Linux while there are GNU packages. I can’t really recall someone on Lemmy saying what exactly the operating system is for any given computer that happens to run Linux as the kernel.

I guess this scratches at what the definition of an operating system is: Windows, macOS, or GNU/Linux. In reality, doesn’t Windows run on the Unix kernel? Why don’t we call it Windows/Unix then? Is Unix used with other “operating systems” that layer on top of the Unix kernel itself?

I went to school for electrical engineering btw and had to take many classes about digital logic and all of the entry level stuff about PCs at a hardware level. Didn’t really get taught much about what goes on top of the hardware aside from maybe microcontrollers with Assembly and C.

Thanks anyways!

The real title is always in the comments

Allegedly

As a Linux n00b, now I need to know which is the kernel and which is the OS.

I believe Netflix does yeah. Foreign language shows don’t bother me

I enjoyed this one. Crazy that it’s only 1 season tho

12 Monkeys and DARK. Both shows deal with time travel in a very cool way.

Severance and The Boys are also fantastic.

Coyotes are also present in many places in the US, and birds of prey can harm pets too.

No excuse for eliminating a healthy and necessary species from the ecology. Human ego trumps all

Ban lead bullets then. Allows people to keep hunting while preventing more pollution in the wild.

Plenty of time after that to ban other things.

ecologically necessary

Not if wolves were reintroduced to native levels.

Can Cloudflare help prevent this?

Kubuntu users rise up!

Oh when will China start making HDDs and SSDs and GPUs and CPUs

PLEASE China PLEASE flood the market with cheap, top shelf computer parts that will force Western corporations to lower their prices or go bankrupt when they don’t

The obvious solution is architecting society such that parents have more time to parent while making enough to pay the bills, rather than exporting parenting because they can’t afford to miss work due to parenting.

You start having enough of these conversations, and it all eventually points back to capitalism and taxing the rich.

If the pushback on social media doesn’t get Discord to drop these plans, then I’ll just have to delete the app.

Not caving to another app asking for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) only for this same data to be leaked months to years later.

Society will do everything to protect children aside from making better parents.

What’s dd?

As soon as you convert from an .XLS file to a .CSV file, the data and sig figs used to display that data are saved while the math formulas used to calculate that data are erased.

This means that when you try to go from .CSV to .XLS, Excel doesn’t know the original formula that created the data to then be able to display more decimal points. The formula is absolutely necessary to change sig figs of displayed data.

The only other way I can think of that would allow one to change sig figs in .CSV data is if the .XLS file was converted with like the maximum number of sig figs displayed, or let’s say 10-20. Then in a .CSV, you can modify the sig figs to something less, like 0-20.

But I want to say that if you save that .CSV file after the sig fig change, where you original converted it with 10-20 sig figs but then changed them to 0-20, the .CSV overwrites the data and you lose the sig figs that you concatenated.

Result: adding decimal points in a .CSV isn’t possible.

Same bro!!

Literally!

Cooperatives and unions are the future!
