Did you have to learn about lsof +L1 the painful way like I had to learn about df -i (every office phone ringing at once, emails filling up with alerts, etc) or were you wise from the beginning?

I read an article about students using shared Google docs to chat in class and (to me) it sounded a lot like the experience of communicating with others connected to the same remote host. I wonder if the Google Docs experience has an equiva

Why do people watch them? Because they're acting, singing, performing stunts, telling jokes, modeling, etc. The guy who will play Macbeth in 2042 is doing TikTok dances now (or he was a couple years ago I'm behind on the trends).

I don't know that it's any bleaker than being an actor, musician, athlete, or any other type of entertainer. It perhaps involves more skills since they might their own sets, photography, cosmetics, scripts, etc plus I think it

That would be further down the path. In this design, I have to imagine both groups' sessions were very much affected by thoughts of "am I about to trip or is this just allergy relief?" To be honest, I am uncomfortable with th

Ultimately e-mail is a relic of a time when there was some level of trust (however small) among Internet users. It's always going to be a bit of an awkward fit to today's Internet where you can trust that any and every exposed ser

The way my wife and I do it is that I (who make more money) pay the majority of the bills and also handle a lot (but not all) of the long term savings. That leaves us with roughly equal disposable income. Sometimes she asks me for a little
