Neat trick with the named pipe and the script command. Note that visual editors (and anything else like ls that are aware of the terminal size) will not work well unless all terminal windows are the exact same size. And type, obviously.

Except that a healthy trade in older cards ensures that demand will continue for the presently sold ones. The buyers hope the cards they buy today will appreciate in value.

Yup. Having insufficient bed space and medical supplies will kill people that might otherwise have survived a Covid-19 infection. Anything and everything must be done in each country to prevent the hospitals from filling up.

I never got around to finishing that one. There's an article out there about how the 1-bit color rendering works, which I found quite interesting: https://blog.playstation.com/archive/2019/10/17/luca

They are preying on the hope of those athletes. But, just like gambling, many must lose for a few to win big. The pros have formed unions to level the playing field, but the college kids have been denied that.

For me, learning the thousand and one little quirks and details of a particular platform are more annoying at this point. I know what I want to do, the details on how to get it done on yet another platform aren't interesting to me. I&#

But we have always known that someone with sufficient cleverness may be able to slip vulnerabilities past reviewers of whatever project. Exactly how clever? That varies from reviewer to reviewer. There will be large projects, with many peop

I still don't get the point of this "research". You're just testing the review ability of particular Linux kernel maintainers at a particular point in time. How does that generalize to the extent needed for it to be vali

Yes, that's the best way to go. Everyone chips in and the DM gets the subscription. It isn't expensive, it is just something to be aware of.

Yep. It is up to everyone to keep up the pressure on the current administration for further reforms, and to create a more fair and just society. The struggle isn't over. The struggle is never over.

Biden is moving in the right direction though.

Yes. Note that Al Gore lost his home state of Tennessee in his 2000 bid for the presidency. If Gore had won TN, Florida wouldn't have mattered as much.

Nixon was also quite racist. The War on Drugs targeted minority groups. There's a lot that could be written about all this.

One thing to be aware of is that just the super-basic stuff is included in a free account. For example a 3rd level Rogue can choose a specialty subclass, and only Thief is available for free, other subclasses like Arcane Trickster you have

Anyone got a link to a video? It seems almost criminal to talk about tech like this without seeing it in use.

Well, technically... you are correct. It would still be an improvement over the older BASIC dialects, because with those it was common to have a limit to the number of variables due to names being one or two letters.

Note that ships in the same class are rarely actually identical. There was also quite a bit of time since they were both built, and the later vessel no doubt incorporated changes / improvements on the design. And then you get into the

I had started reading about that and Siacoin a while back. Never got around to starting a node or anything like that. With Sia at least, you had to put up a stake first before you could start a storage node (for reasons that made sense).

I mean that many laptops (especially thin ones) have batteries glued in. For modern form factors, an easily removable battery is a no-go, I get that. But there are things designers can do to make replacing the battery easier or harder. Ma
