While I agree with your first paragraph, > if you're stuck on a 80x25 console What's wrong with `journalctl | less` in this case? The only command I use regularly which invokes a pager by default is `man`, and that seems like

Really? I've never heard it before, and it was so jarring to read that I came to the comments specifically looking for other people saying so...

You're never a true tourist in any of the cities in the UK, you're still in your home country, so you're highly unlikely to be a target. These crimes almost always target foreign tourists quite specifically, they're far

If the connections are dropped quietly (client side does not find out the connection is gone) then how does the long poll case know that the existing poll conn is not going to return any data and a new one needs to be initiated? Or is it ju

So someone has already gone to the effort of specifying them. In that case the analogous java situation is downloading a packaged jar and running java -jar mything.jar

Less visible to people, though the way gsm works means that every call and text you receive entails a lookup to your number's original provider. Prefix allocations to mobile networks are static and they are required to return a new rou

Journalists tend to have their own cultural biases--although more on political topics than technical ones. You're on to more than you give yourself credit for there. Much modern journalism is an integral part of the political system,

The clearest I've seen it posed is this: Do you draw energy from or expend energy on highly social situations? I'm quite an outgoing introvert, but after enough time I become mentally worn out by socialising and need a break to ga

Though it should be noted that the best pizza in London comes from Franco Mancas in the south and west and costs more like £7 or $11.20. Or Due Sardi in the east, margarita being £6.45 or $10.40. Dominoes is horrible. Edit: Neither do varia

The difference between frequency and types of crimes committed by powder-cocaine users and crack-cocaine users was also so great that laws were enacted to treat the drug differently. This is racism, pure and simple. It may not be intentio

It is a serious burden if you work in an office which is air conditioned anyway. The most serious problem being that the long (and it was generally 3 hours in the south where I was staying) break is intended for sleeping. Problem is, most p

Network derived location does not represent a meaningful extra power draw. GPS involves a separate radio system (rx only, admittedly) and is only active when something actually requests your location...

Aah, I'd love to share more war stories on this subject, but given how identifiable this account is it probably wouldn't be prudent.

Really? Can you have a stab at describing the difference? Because I've spend the vast majority of my life between Edinburgh, Nottingham and Leeds and I can't bring it to mind. I can see a slight differentiation in places with more

All SMS providers are in the same boat. IIRC, the penalties for breaking the DNC list in India are brutal. (until recently I worked at a big mobile aggregator)

Accent and dialect are distinct. Maybe it's because I was born in Scotland, spent my teenage years in the English midlands and north, now live in London and watch TV from the states, but I've never met an English speaker whose acc

Certainly in the UK, 'or' and 'awe' or very similar. But I'm pretty sure the same is true across the states. The 'awe' in 'awe, shucks' is not even really a word, just a sympathetic utterance in

Out of interest, were you working for EMIS by any chance? I had the joy of having to work with MUMPS systems for which the source was not available, so the first step was to find (and complete, as it was not complete) a decompiler. Fun tim

Windows does things like swap out applications which are minimised or not recently used to allow more space for disk cache. You're neatly defeating the point of swapping them out by keeping the page file in ram. You are still shuffling

Were you using Linux on your desktop in 2006? As I remember, the arrival of Ubuntu marked a massive shift in usability. I held out on various other distros, but eventually the extra polish Ubuntu offered was too compelling. Raising the bar

A freezing shower will usually get you 4 hours sleep. Start with the water tepid, then reduce it over a couple of minutes. If you drop your core temp then you can get off to sleep, gotta stay under til you're cold throughout. That&#x27

El nuevo producto, que se llama refresco de cola It was just called "cola drink", you could translate it as "cola tonic". I guess it makes sense that it wasn't particularly branded.

Where did you have that experience? It's very unfortunate for sure. I've found the drivers in London to be better in general than the rest of the country. There are cyclists EVERYWHERE. No car is surprised to share the road with one and the

all I see here are men treating a woman exactly like they treat other men. I think you mean "men physically smaller than themselves". This is how morons, not men, organise themselves.

I'd prefer to see the functions put in a dictionary and invoked from there rather than named individually in the local scope, easier to see at least what you have to look for when you want to see if they're referenced, and you'd have dict[i
