The $CDPATH variable (built into `cd`)[0] plus the `bash_completion`[1] script to enable tab-completion of CDPATH dirs - works for my use case (FWIW). [0] http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_man_pages/cdh.html [1] http:/

On my iphone, at least, the monospace section cuts off after ~20 characters and you have to drag back-and-forth to horizontally scroll the rest into view. Landscape mode helps, but not much.

There's also a pop-top conversion[0] available for the Element, which takes advantage of its very large rear sunroof (which cannot be opened while moving, btw). I own an Element and I've been flirting with this for years. I'

The professor's writing style makes the guide enjoyable. It's an interesting topic across the board, but in the wrong hands this PDF could be an awfully dry read. Not so in this case!

ah, thank you. I don't do social media so it doesn't even occur to me that answering this type of question is actually easy =)

This is a bit OT, but: I live in Seattle and I would love to experience a top-end VR headset; tethered is fine. Are there stores that specialize in this? Where would/should I go?

No, because GP was joking...

by finnh 9y ago
GP is right; you need to be careful about how you read it. “contains implies report” is different than “report implies contains”. You are (correctly) arguing the against latter statement, which GP does not make.

Russia's GDP is less than half that of the UK, and 1/10th that of China's. I'm pretty sure that's scale-invariant.

I'm not drawing distinctions between "normal" and "perfect" here. My point is that 20/20 refers to what you can see at a distance of 20 feet , which is different from what you can see at a distance of 2 feet.

I'm not saying this to be a jerk, but because I honestly wonder if this is the explanation. Could you be farsighted? When people say "perfect eye sight" they (typically) mean 20/20 or better, but that's for distanc

Disk speed is always a bottleneck, much more than CPU generally. Almost every thing you do leads to, or is dependent on, IO speeds. If you disk speed drops by 40%, for example, every application will be at least 40% slower to load. Tha

It's funny how personal all of these preferences are. I, personally, thought that "Diamond Age" was tepid, and "Zodiac" pretty stupid (but an early work, so forgiveable), but I've pretty well loved everything

Who would host the index? You can't contact one million peers to run a search, so fanout-on-read doesn't work. If the index is also distributed (by search term?), then the search+indexing nodes will need to fanout-on-write, which

That's not what GP said. "vault-password-file" != "vault-password".

by finnh 9y ago
I'm not sure about that, because there is such a huge range of "need to work" lives. Taking it for granted that everything but "upper class" means "has to work", it's still worth drawing distinctions

Awesome idea, until an evil-or-just-buggy insurance contract robs its counterparties blind. We're basically in no true Scotsman territory here.
