Folks may want to have a look at https://www.gnu.org/software/datamash/manual/datamash.html I suppose it violates the Unix philosophy of one tool doing one thing well but it may nevertheless be useful. See a

Cool website, but I had some difficulty with the pagination control. I sorted by company name and wanted to skip to the middle of the alphabet, but once I skipped to page 5, the control would only provide a button for the next page.

Yes and please don’t get a pet that will outlive you unless you are willing to make sure it is cared for after you die.

One-time refers to usage. They could be repeating one-time pads to ensure they are received. The intended recipients can probably not be counted on to be listening at any particular time.

It's easier to take a risk on a startup in a tech hub because you can likely find a job elsewhere if things don't work out. In a non-hub area, it's riskier to take the leap because fallback options are much more limited.

This makes a lot of sense. To address a comment or two: It doesn't seem like much of a stretch to imagine that 21echoes' proposal includes the concept that websites of a similar nature should resemble each other rather than that a

The article does a reasonable job of describing why our current innovations are less significant than previous ones such as the internal combustion engine and so forth, but is much weaker on predictions for the future. To cherry pick: The

I see the Julia home page lists multiple dispatch as one of its benefits. Since my only real exposure to multiple dispatch was when I inherited some CLOS code where it was used to create a nightmare of spaghetti, I'm wondering if any

As an alternative you could e-sign the document using a service like EchoSign. While most people use it to send out documents for e-signature, it also has a feature called approve that lets you e-sign documents people have sent you.
