Lightning travels through a channel of ionized air which isn't a very good insulator at all.

I wouldn't be surprised if lots of sweeteners/sugars suppressed the satiation response to some degree. I guess it is beneficial to fruit bearing plants to get us to spread lots of seeds..

I would love to read the original publication. I'm curious if/how they factored in the use of high fructose corn syrup which is known to suppress satiation response and is common is processed foods. Allas; the original paper is pa

They claim 99.2% efficiency (in lab conditions) and compare that to 97% for a chain drive. In lab testing, bicycle chain drives have been found to be 98.6% efficient: https://web.archive.org/web/20080306054536/http

Nice recursive definition.. The practice of programming in shell languages was well established when Bash was designed and Bash was definitely designed with that use in mind. So by your definition Bash is a "real" programming lang

I have managed networks with 1000+ (microwave link) network devices that had Bash but no sed.. Sure was nice to be able to script maintenance on those.. Your definition of "reasonably complete" might not work for everyone else&#x2

So, what in your opinion constitutes a "real language", and why?

by jascii 7y ago
Why? No external dependencies, your code can run anywhere you have a Bash shell. This also means a smaller attack surface. Also readability: While some of the examples may be somewhat confusing to someone who doesn't have a lot of Bash

Amazon would have used city services without paying for them. Who pays for these services? The people, with their tax dollars.. A partial truth is often the best lie.

Hmm, they are quoting a population of 20,035,455 for Beijing. That's the official number based on the amount of residency permits. Locals estimate the actual population to be at least double that..

IANAL, nor have I read the NDA's (I'm hoping they will be publicly released as part of discovery) but I doubt NDA's with either the NSA or CIA will have an expiry date. A breach of contract on the plaintiff's side coul

IANAL, however I have been led to believe that those reciprocity agreements usually include some statement along the lines that said infraction needs to be prosecutable locally. Countries usually don't extradite their citizens for thin

Is there any indication that they solicited business in Germany? And how, in practice, could they enforce that if this canadian entity has not broken any canadian law and canada as such has no impetus to enforce german law?

You can "shop around" as much as you want. Whether to grant asylum however, is entirely up to the host country.

In our organisation, developers have need nor clearance to access live customer data. This means they stay out of production and we have to deal with breakage. Usually I can just revert to an earlier version and file a bug report, sometimes

In the 90's and 00's I was responsible for maybe 20-30 servers, now I am responsible for somewhere around the 2000 mark.. While "oh but you can't do that, that's not Infrastructure as Code!" sounds lame, and yo

I work in devops (and did so before it was called that), I write code in turing complete languages. Just code that manages infrastructure and software rather then interacts directly with end users. I template configuration files rather then

They aren't mutually exclusive. I do however suspect that the cost of some paint is a lot cheaper then permanently monitoring and prosecuting these drivers. Also, for prosecution to be effective as a deterrent requires the driver to ma

As far as I know, none of the documents leaked by Mr Snowden have been found untrustworthy or fabricated. Digging in his past for inconsistencies and speculating about his motivation seem little more then a weak attempt at character assassi

Your security profile needs to exceed that set for the highest level of clearance you could possibly gain. In practice that means exceeding the highest level of security used in an organisation. You wouldn't want to inadvertently exfil

That really is the difference between "proven secure" vs "not proven insecure", which would you consider best practice? As far as fingerprinting WiFi devices goes: It is an rf device and all rf devices vary in behaviour

The reasons people end up with medical debt(being underinsured, etc) are absolutely not a state issue and directly related to industry lobbying.

This seems a bit of a false equivalency: If you get an "unexpected tax bill" due to a change in your liquid assets for a sum that exceeds several times your gross worth like some of these medical bills, then you are doing some rea
