Of course, that'll slow down your torrents a lot, as leech detection does exist and most clients will punish pure leechers.

For something like this, you don't want paperback. You want a full-sized, hardcover coffee table book. Or at least I do. And I'd be willing to drop good money for a copy one it's been through some proper copyediting.

Thanks for this. I was grinding my wheels much the same way, so hopefully this LWN article will clear things up for me.

That's why the epoch was arbitrarily set at 10,000 years before the BC/AD epoch. A rough approximation that lines up with the current calendar works a lot better for everyone than a more accurate approximation.

Oops, you're right. Somehow I got transported to last year while I was writing.

I wish they would have gone with Holocene Era epoch for the year instead of using the same BC/AD // CE/BCE one we currently use padded to five digits. Makes a lot more sense to me if we think of this year as 12017 than a

It's not the same at all. `&&` only continues the chain if the previous command exited successfully (i.e. exit code is 0) whereas `;` always continues.

The value of the token comes from the value and purpose of the protocol the token is used for. For example, Etherium's value itself is backed by the ability to run "smart contracts" on the Etherium platform itself. Most of th

I wasn't asking if it was inspired by SAO, I saw the comment in the GitHub readme about it.

Obvious bias shown by the article's author, but yeah the basic premise that social media is destroying meaningful discourse and the democracy that depends on same rings very much true.

Inspired by watching SAO? I wonder if they prefer Asuna or Lisbeth.

As someone who does video games in his spare time, this was a very enjoyable read.

There are plenty of conditionals in the rendering engine of a browser, especially with regards to managing layout.

If you're still using Windows PowerShell proper instead of PowerShell Core, you still need to delete the curl alias or call curl explicitly as curl.exe in order to use it. Also, take a look at Chocolatey for package management. Yeah it

I'd rather just be rid of them altogether. No compromise.

Yeah, that's a shortcoming with cmd.exe. At least PowerShell will switch slashes to whichever is default for the platform, but I doubt that supporting fore-slash tab completion in cmd.exe would be able to crawl out of the -100pt hole.

Windows Console has improved a lot since Creators Update, adding built-in support for many VT escapes (including all the common ones) and even 24-bit color in the console. They're doing their best to make it first class for developers.

MS-DOS (and Windows) have supported forward slashes as path separators since PC-DOS 2.0, despite defaulting to backslash. Anywhere where the forward slash isn't supported is a bug either in Windows or (more likely) in the app that won&

I don't know about ssh-copy-id but it definitely supports passwordless logins. You just need to set up ~/.ssh directories as you would on other systems, and ensure the correct file permissions are set. There's a Powershell sc

I prefer installing OpenSSH from Chocolatey instead, since that way I know I'm getting every month's updates. I've been using the sshd for a year now on my media server, and have the client on all my machines. It's prett

That goes for pretty much all corvids. Brilliant birds, even if they haven't much of a singing voice.

>the only thing they've got to hold onto now is EV, and that's of diminishing value now as well. Value in terms of cost, or in terms of utility? And if the latter, care to explain why? I know almost nothing on the business&#x2F
