Even screen is too powerful for that use case. Just use nohup or dtach instead.

Thank you Fedora for mitigating all of the severe bugs ahead of time! Also, yet another bug caused by strncpy. Never use strcpy, strncpy, or strcat. Always use stpcpy, mempcpy, or even just memcpy.

I disagree. There has been some criticism of his experiments, but don’t forget that the experiments were successfully replicated many times, by different researchers and in different countries. Don’t forget either that Milgram was surprised

No, I didn’t quote all available evidence in an internet comment. I’d never finish, if I did that. Instead I picked one salient but infrequently encountered body of evidence. I recommend reading the book. And if you want more evidence than

If you say so then it must be true.

That’s why I mentioned services like Wix. They host your site and give you an online page builder, then you just point your domain at their servers. It’s basically just Geocities, but without the stigma. I believe Square runs one that is fa

No, mostly it just reminds us that ordinary people are mostly evil. At best they’re purely self–interested. There’s no dissent there. There’s a good book called “Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland” b

And most of that wouldn’t be useful. We use encryption for almost everything now for a reason. No, wiretaps on modern networks do not rely on backdoors, or even big labeled front doors like SSH, on individual subscriber devices. Instead it

Helene would make your point more forcefully since the bulk of the damage it caused happened in the Appalachian mountains more than 200 miles inland from the ocean.

I disagree. The advertising and hype pushing people to use C++ is insane. There are hundreds of magazines that exist solely to absorb the advertising budget of Microsoft (and to a lesser extent Intel). Hundreds of conferences every year. Yo

Yea, good book. But he’s wrong. Pluto is still there; nobody has killed it.

Back in the day Mercury, Venus, Earth, Ceres, Pallas, Vesta, Juno, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were the 12 planets. You could kinda consider Pluto to be the 13th planet, but in 1930 when it was discovered there were already o

For a generation, schoolchildren everywhere memorized the names of the 12 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Ceres, Pallas, Vesta, Juno, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The list was stable at 12 for about 40 years, but started grow

Nobody killed Pluto. Back in the early 1800s children used to memorize the names of the 12 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Ceres, Pallas, Juno, Vesta, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. But then in 1845 astronomers discovered Astra

When prices change, the equilibrium changes. Currently most production happens in China because it’s cheapest there. But if the prices rise, suddenly it’s not the cheapest place to manufacture things any more. And there are literally a hund

You’re doubling down on the ad hominem.

Wrong solution. Just run ‘configure -C’ so that it caches the results, or reuses the cache if it already exists. And of course most of the time you don't need to rerun configure at all, just make.

If you think the study has flaws, point them out. Otherwise your argument is just ad hominem.

Laying people off to stay profitable is not punitive. It’s not desirable to be laid off, but the business isn’t punishing them.

This is a common misconception. A good understanding of economics might enable you to decide what kind of interventions to use (or to avoid) in an economy as a whole, but will not necessarily give you any insight into how well a particular

These are not made up sizes. They are standard paper sizes available in any store. Most ordinary househole printers won’t actually print on tabloid, and some won’t print on memo, but all copiers (and multifunction scanner/printers) can

Yea, it’s like people’s brains turn off. They can read menus at restaurants, but refuse to do so when confronted with a printer or whatever.

Here in the US we just print posters at whatever size we want. We don’t have to rely on someone to have standardized the sizes of posters. Large–format printers often go up to eight feet wide, so you can print something as big as a wall if

De minimis. You only include the extra envelope so that you can write your own address on it. Postage is the only real expense.

Technically I think you can read the “whole” stack; it’s only reads off of the ends of the stack as a whole that are prevented. However, note that the start of your current stack may not really be the start of the real stack. Consider the c
