If you think nmcli qualifies as command line network configuration, you've never done any advanced network configuration at all. nmcli is a bad joke, with all the limitations of NetworkManager itself, and a really crappy interface to boot.

Operating systems with much more reliable and user-friendly network configuration interfaces (Windows and Mac) continue to permit advanced users to fiddle with their settings on the command line without actively impeding them. Desktop Linux

Inbound bandwidth to Amazon has been free for a while. Anywhere but Asia and South America, your posited 32 byte query adds up to about $0.36 per billion at their most expensive $0.12/GB tier.

Hardly. I'm the one constantly wondering why people didn't read the email I sent them before interrupting me with redundant questions that were thoroughly answered in the email.

I have never been in a meeting where consensus was reached. I've been in plenty of meetings where management edicts were handed down after an hour of wasted time with "rapid discussion" based on faulty assumptions that could have been fixed

Being prepared for a meeting means the meeting should never take place at all. If you know what you're going to say, put it in a damned email. If I have a question, I'll reply. Then you can craft a thoughtful and correct answer as time allo

Actually, yes. Every dollar in use fees for physical locations goes to defray the cost of the construction, use, and maintenance, lowering the actual taxpayer burden. Cost of distribution for public information -- which will be collected

Actually, the article has plenty of context for its intended audience. It specifies that it's state funding, lists the programs being cut, and notes the primary concern of advocates: equal access. The publication is called "Library Journal"

The San Jose library system alone runs a budget much larger than the total of these programs. The programs being cut are supplementary funding, most library funds come from local taxes. It's going to be a major problem for some libraries, e

In ordinary usage, "ANSI C" is a synonym for strict C89. C99 is not well-supported by many compilers, so code intended to be widely portable is still frequently written to strict C89.

The stagnation and backslide started circa 1995-1996. IE was barely a blip at that time. By 1998, Netscape was basically useless and their share was just starting to drop below 50%. If you look at timelines instead of listening to hysterica

I'm generally right in the middle of said paperwork, and you've got it right. The main caveat is that overage cost is often (though not always) higher than the commit. (The other caveat is I've never seen $1/mbps transit, if you find it, le

If your virtual machine's CPU is 1/10th the performance of host, there's something incredibly wrong. Almost all CPU instructions in a VM run unmodified on bare metal.

This is textbook confirmation bias, you're focusing on the most visible factor that you expect to see. It's a very common way for people to rationalize their racist views.

Regretfully, "connector" is used generically in the USB standard to refer to both the plug and receptacle. Type-A "standard durability" connectors, plug and receptacle, are specced for 1,500 cycles minimum. 5,000 for "high durability". The

Officially, the required lifetime for a USB type A connector is a disturbingly-low 1500 insertion cycles. I expect present-day connectors to greatly outlast this in practice, of course.

To me it just looks like a typical, badly-designed product page trying to get you to buy the product. How exactly does one distinguish between an "affiliate" sales pitch and an "original source" sales pitch?
