Yes, a lot of Indians that emigrate to foreign countries will have gone to schools where classes are taught in English, except for the local language class that is taught in that language. There are so-called "English medium" scho

I'm the same. Spoke Hindi in India for the first 17 years of my life, and then the next 15+ I've lived in foreign countries and barely talked to anyone in Hindi, just English. I can still understand Hindi movie clips on Youtube, b

That said, they also maintain a list of aliases for a bunch of container images. https://github.com/containers/shortnames . My distro's podman package then drops in that file into /etc/containers/re

It absolutely has not. I'm looking at messages in Element X right now that don't decrypt, ie "Waiting for this message", from one user interspersed between decrypted messages from other users. Meanwhile my other two clie

Even the E2EE implementation is garbage. To this day fifty percent of the conversation in every E2EE group chat I'm in is "Hey XYZ I can't see your messages because they fail to decrypt" because they still have bugs in h

This will not work with HPKP but hopefully nothing is using that any more. ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Public_Key_Pinning ) It won't work with programs that defensively validate the cert chain but those

(Title is sort of clickbait. The body is about how it isn't hard, but certain misconfigurations make it appear hard.) Note that curl itself also implements Happy Eyeballs if you don't force a particular protocol via `-4` or `-6`.

To be clear, the point of my comment was to give the reason that `--help` isn't universal, not to present any opinion on whether it should or should not be. (I myself am in the "go on to develop their own tools with the same conve

by Arnavion 2y ago
`--help` is a GNU convention, which is why it's not as universal as you want it to be. Of course these days most Linux users interact with GNU tools and thus go on to develop their own tools with the same convention, but it's the

I don't know (or care about) whether there's any gaming in this specific case, but note that the dates that Google assigns to search results aren't reliable in the first place. https://news.ycombinator.com/ite

Yeah, when I was planning to switch my personal Apache-licensed stuff to GPL, I decided to switch to AGPL instead. Most of my stuff makes no sense for it to be used as part of a web service etc, but it doesn't hurt to make it future-pr

FYI, going to suspend / receiving calls during suspend / waking from suspend haven't been a general problem on the (non-Pro) PinePhone since 2021. You just have to make sure to switch to the FOSS modem firmware, and occasiona

I assumed they meant `char (*str)[5]`, ie a pointer to an array, because they wanted to reinterpret the malloc result as an array of the malloc'd length.

There is an optimal way to play even for the first 11 XP as well as onwards and will always give you enough health scrolls / level ups to continue. FYI I've played probably a couple of hundred games at this point (since a week ago

Yes if you play optimally every game is winnable with a full clear. If you make some mistakes you can still win but not get a full clear. If you make too many mistakes it may become unwinnable.

- The highest score of 303 is obtained by killing everything on the board before killing the dragon. This includes the brick walls.

There is only one 11-strength enemy and it's always in a corner of the board, so it's not strictly necessary to mark it.

Other than what sibling comments said, the 11-strength enemy that drops the powerup to kill all mines is always in a corner of the board.

There are enough hearts. Hint: You have to prioritize revealing squares to find those hearts over killing enemies whose strength you've already identified. Also make sure to pace out your level ups and heart usage because they always h
