I have a OnePlus 3t, a 5, and a Nord N200. The last model was quite difficult to unlock and reload with LineageOS. Had that not been the case, this announcement may not have been necessary.

I have read another article recently indicating that the S&P 500 is overvalued compared to international indexes. I may soon increase my 401k share of VTIAX. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/investing/stocks-s

For the searched column only? If you are greatly concerned, SQL Server and the Sybase database from which it emerged have a native boolean data type. Another benefit of this scheme is that adding another boolean means using the next power o

From a legal perspective, if the injection does not provide 100% immunity (when used as directed), then it cannot be called a vaccine, instead it is a therapeutic treatment. Because courts of law have recognized covid mRNA injections as the

Your thymus shuts down in your 80s, and you will make no more new T cells. I also understand that a third of the elderly will have shingles by their 80s if unvaccinated.

The largest table where I've done this had over 50 of these booleans. That's one 64-bit number, or 50 different columns.

This decade began with a pandemic. Its origins and impact can be debated, but it did enormous and lasting harm, unreasonably. The last presidential election disenfranchised a party (and with it half the country), suppressing turnout. Half o

When you need many booleans on a table, use an integer with bitwise and/or to record them as powers of 2. I have done this many times. Function-based indexes are necessary if they must be searched.

Russia invaded and occupied the Sakhalin islands near the end of World War II. Native Japanese were allowed to leave, as I understand it. "Japan invaded the northern parts of Sakhalin, and ruled the entire island from 1918 to 1925. Rus

The big problem with ksh93 is that it is not maintained. After David Korn retired, an attempt was made to bring out a new version which failed dramatically, and AT&T reverted to Korn's final release. SmartOS uses ksh93 as root&#x27

The author has neglected the pdksh family of shells which includes all of Android, so this is a sizable oversight. This would include the MirBSD mksh, and oksh from OpenBSD. They are much smaller than ksh93 and bash, and I would suggest tha

'Mythos “broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours.”' Is Mythos a significant danger? The curl experience does not suggest that hysteria is warranted, but this gives me pause.
