He actually, started, the joke, before, everyone else, but, with all, the pauses, it took, longer, to finish, it.

Thanks!

Years ago I thought I was being smart encrypting my home dir on my Linux server. I found out the hard way this prevents remote login over ssh using public key encryption, as the .ssh dir is in the home dir, which is encrypted unless you are already logged in at the time! So every time I wanted to ssh in, I had to plug in a monitor and log in on the console first.

Checked exceptions require a function to declare the exceptions it can throw. The caller function must then catch and handle the exception, or the exception would bubble up a level, in which case the caller must also include that exception among the exceptions it declares that it can throw. I don’t know if C++ does this, but Java/C# do. It sounds exactly like Rust’s system except with different syntax.

My last job was Windows desktop, so I installed vmware and ran Linux in fullscreen mode.

I figured as much. Just wanted to show another option.

I love httpie for hitting urls when i want to see the headers or body without downloading to a file eg testing an api

This was a few years ago so maybe it has improved, but I found that screen would crash and lose my session history and layout too often. That was bad enough, but when it happened it had some bullshit error message about a dungeon roof falling in. I don’t mind some comedy in code or even the interface, but don’t make light of the user losing their stuff. I tried tmux and it is much more stable than screen was.

mkdir -p will not complain if the dir exists

I think it means “owes more than the value of the collateral”, so even liquidating the collateral to pay off the debt will leave you with residual debt. I’ve usually heard it called “underwater on the loan”.

Maybe we misheard and he said “this lets me sell more shoes”

Velcro sewn to just inside the top of your pocket, so sticking a hand in your pocket makes a loud noise and you can feel it, for any pickpocket to separate the velcro.

At the very least a sniper should be good at sitting very still for hours at a time.

You might enjoy salsa rueda. It is like country dancing, but is done to cool salsa music, and there is still a bit of creativity on the part of the caller, to quickly pick moves for everyone that fits the feel of the music. And it feels great when everyone is in tune with each other, working together, even when you make some mistakes.

That would only add one extra process instance with each call. The pipe makes it add 2 extra processes with each call, making the number of processes grow exponentially instead of only linearly.

Edit: Also, Im not at a computer to test this, but since the child is forked in the background (due to &), the parent is free to exit at that point, so your version would probably just effectively have 1-2 processes at a time, although the last one would have a new pid each time, so it would be impossible to get the pid and then kill it before it has already replaced itself. The original has the same “feature”, but with exponentially more to catch on each recursion. Each child would be reparented by pid 1, so you could kill them by killing pid 1 i guess (although you dont want to do that… and there would be a few you wouldn’t catch because they weren’t reparented yet)

Whoever owns the camera presumably has an interest in reducing/solving crime in the area (why else have cameras?), so they would likely be happy to make the footage available to police if asked nicely, with no warrant required.

Once AI and robots can do/make anything they want on demand, they won’t even need money, so don’t need to make money by selling stuff. For sure, they will probably have a tough time transitioning from the idea of making money, but they won’t need to any more. The rest of us could split off our own fairer economy, but they’ll probably have the IP locked up on all the technology so we can’t use it and have to keep working 5 day or more weeks.

How exactly does company A own shares in itself?
