One more interest feature which was not clearly described: you can attach two or more ssh connections (belonging to the same system user) to the same tmux session. Each displays the same thing in real time and has full control. We use this

These “income share agreements” seem to be an emerging phenomenon. I wonder if anyone here could comment on any limitations to their use. When someone voluntarily signs an agreement giving me P percent of their income from working as E, fo

I’ve seen several combinations of B’s and 8’s - like “8B88B8”. Wonder how effective they are at confusing plate readers.

So for the left-to-right operand evaluation order I thought it’s this: look at the left operand, take zero. Then post-increment, now it’s one. Move on to the right operand. Pre-increment what is 1, so now it’s 2. Take 2. So it 0 + 2?

I read it but I still don’t understand. Isn’t it 0 + 2 vs 1 + 1? How would it produce something other than 2?

It’s sad how the costs of dealing with used plastics - whether recycling, landfill, or something else - are usually presented as a problem. Like, “look, it’s getting too expensive to have country X take it” or “it’s not economically feasibl

Not true. One of the commenters on this thread was nice enough to post the modern-day history book for the 9th grade. Unless you believe he went through the effort of redacting it, you will see that it contains details of USSR’s invasion of

Thank you for posting. I was very interested to know what the modern-day school history books say. For non-Russian speakers I can confirm that on page 203 of the above-referenced history book for the 9th grade it says that World War II star

I assume this comment was not intended to be taken seriously. Most of the population of what are now independent countries of Belarus and Ukraine, but used to be part of USSR, are pretty well aware of where the Polish border was in 1939. If

Calculations of this model are misleading. One hugely important parameter missing: inflation rate. This would tell us what part of that 2.1 million in 30 years is real return and what part is simply inflation, i.e. depreciated money. Put it

Indeed, TIM is a poor heat conductor compared to metals. If surfaces were ideally polished, TIM would be absolutely not necessary. We’ve done this and saw significant improvement in thermals. Next best thing is liquid metals that have an or

The event is market data update. On one hand it is in fact pretty simple. On the other hand, it is not much simpler than something like “user X liked Y” or even “product Z added to cart”. I think it shows what a well designed, optimized cod

To say that light travels at “nearly the speed of light” in any medium is a bad choice of words. Also with refraction coefficient of 1.40 - 1.45 in fiber, the term “nearly” is not appropriate if the intention was to compare with vacuum.

Exchanges do very detailed studies of what tick sizes should be, as well as setting fifo/pro-rata ratios. Many products that have seemingly large tick sizes like eg treasuries or vix would not work otherwise. MMs will not be compensate

Quite a few players are trading on economic releases (eg non-farm payrolls, ADP, ISM, and so on) in this fashion. It’s often much easier to feed to algo because the release is a number (or set of numbers) vs some free-form-text thing. Compe

I suppose whoever invented the term Corium also had some dark sense of humor - as in the-stuff-that-comes-from-reactor-core. This aspect seems to have escaped the article’s author, who operate with the term as if it’s another new element un
