Ah, it was -d I was thinking of. Anyway, the point is that you can run pv retrospectively just fine while your slow command is running.

You can attach pv to an existing process. IIRC it's the -p option.

What you have is already the case - that's "OpenReach", owned by the incumbent and required to provide wholesale access to ISPs for the "last mile". Independent ISPs then provide the Internet connectivity. But they

A huge benefit of DDG for me is that I can use it in a private browser window and it just works without stupid popups getting in the way. In contrast Google is far less useable for a quick search. This alone is why I have DDG as default and

It might make sense when you need the energy storage density. For example for jet fuel.

In practice the bar for "due care and attention" is low (ie. you have had to be really, really careless or really, really inattentive to be convicted). The courts in the UK hold drivers only to a pretty low standard in general. Th

The bad services sell use of their address space for next to nothing and turnover of their addresses is high. When they don't address abuse reports, or even if they do yet their addresses continue to act like whack-a-mole, there's

Exactly this. I self-host and blanket block a bunch of hosting providers because I get 100% spam from them. Just a few hosting providers that seemingly are unable to police their address space seem to be responsible for a big proportion of

No, because in that entire space, only eg. 62^20 would be used, and that's a much smaller space. There are various techniques to focus on that subset of the space.

It was included. The rule hasn't been changed. The interpretation of the rule in one specific case has been confirmed, without having changed the rule. That means that, as written, this dark pattern was always illegal.

Thermodyamics says that a solar panel is cooler than an equivalent black panel. Some solar energy gets converted to electricity. All of that converted energy does not end up as waste heat. A 100% efficient solar panel would not get hot. Onl

No, you are conflating dynamic speed control with the safety issues caused by the lack of a hard shoulder. See the other comments.

When I've done DC rapid charging on my Leaf, I noticed that the charger knew the battery percentage reported by the car. That seems likely to be digital signalling to me, so suddenly there's the risk of buffer overflows and suchli

It's both. Humidity will more readily condense on lower temperature walls and windows resulting in mould. You need a combination of ventilation to lower the dewpoint and warmer walls so as they don't meet the dewpoint. Your choice

Of course it is. That means that you work on the problem, but when a regular interval arrives, you stop working on the problem to update the ticket instead. Once updated, you go back to working on the problem. That's how status updates
