   I believe the the part that says: > It then joins them with a single space: is incorrect: there is no space added. The system call `exec` [1] (that is used to execute any program, often in combination with `fork`) takes the command and i

   Thanks for the correction. I remembered it wrong. In this article for instance Matt Cutts details how they go about flagging individual pages [1] [1] https://searchengineland.com/googles-cutts-we-dont-ban-sites...

   They state that they don't manually pick results, but improve their algorythms to solve these problems. They prefer to share the least amount of details though, since it would better inform SEO spammers.

   I'm no native speaker nor have I ever heard that word before. Looking online I found this definition: fiefdom /ˈfiːfdəm/ a territory or sphere of operation controlled by a particular person or group. "a mafia boss who ha

   Competition is not only ineffective in monopolistic markets. Also oligopolic markets are very inefficient. In Italy's example the price you now pay for your mobile plan (7 €/month for 50 GB) was made possible by Iliad, a new ISP t

   I'm not sure it's connected to the origin of the word, but when I saw straw laid down in strawberry fields like this [1] I thought the name comes from that custom. I believe (still, I could be wrong) that the straw is put there to

   I think if I _had_ to decide (I'm not the best informed person on the matter) I'd lean towards leofs[1]. I only read about it, but never used it. It advertises itself as exabyte scalable and provides s3 and nfs access. [1] https:

    Oh, don't worry! They're probably working on it: soon you won't be able to install whatever you want on your laptop. Just making some unsubstantiated irony, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

    My solution in these cases: ssh hostname tar cvjf - /path/to/folder | tar xjf - Basically I ask ssh to execute tar on the remote host to create a compressed archive. ssh will output the archive contents on the local

    I'm afraid you'll need to revisit this "fact". The project in question, for instance, only uses NodeJS to build its frontend. The backend is written in python. People who want to use react for their frontend _have_ to us

    Nowadays docker server, when run with the experimental flag, allows you to build images with the `--squash` option, so your whole image will contain a single layer. Alternatively you can use buildah [1] to build your images via a script, bu

    You summarised very well many problems with this article. I'd like to add one more. They draw a comparison between "a preschooler who is often read to by a caregiver" and "a preschooler who likely spends an average of tw

    My personal experience with lying down to work is that it feels good in the short term, but causes problems in the long term (increased pain). I have no data to back this claim, but I can provide this single data point. I completely agree w
