   It is written in plan9 shell, what an interesting choice for a small script! > The scripts are written in rc (the shell of Plan9port). You can easily port them to any other shell your self. The newmail script itself is roughly ten lines.

   There are products that do a precise search on large datasets, like Westlaw and LexisNexis searches for legal research. Of course, services like these can charge around $100 per query or more, though I’m not sure of their specific rates.

   The map of total deaths includes a significant blip on the west side near Pier 40 and the Holland Tunnel, which I think is from the 2017 truck attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_New_York_City_truck_attac... Map

   This reminds me of Befunge. My favorite language feature ever: "Similarly, in Befunge, there is no comment syntax: to embed documentation in the code, the programmer simply routes the control flow around the "comment" area, s

    I’ve been having many of these problems with my 9360 as well. I recently switched back to using a 2013 MacBook Pro Retina with Linux on it, and the much older thing just feels faster, and I can’t put my finger on why. Maybe it’s the CPU th

    What ever happened to HPKP? It seems like that would somewhat mitigate these attacks since they rely on using their control over the domain to get a new DV cert. A pinned certificate would at least protect those who have accessed the sites

    I once spent an hour or so trapped in an elevator. It was a small building, only six stories or so. A bit of a rumble, and it was just stuck, a few inches out of alignment with the exterior door. I didn't know it at the time, but the

    I think they mean it’s removed for most of the modules in the kernel and therefore the ones that may be lurking about still aren’t being compiled on most configurations. According to the article, “there may be a couple more VLAs hiding in h
