That depends on the shell configuration. On bash, you can achieve this by setting HISTCONTROL=ignorespace but that's not the default.

I think it was first introduced in 4.3 BSD Tahoe (released June 15, 1988): https://www.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=4.3BSD-Tahoe/usr/... This was an update to the earlier 4.3 BSD (1986) which still implemen

Are you sure you are comparing apples with apples here? The fact that i686 is 14% faster than x86_64 is a little suspicious, because usually the same software runs _faster_ on x86_64 (despite the increased memory use) thanks to a larger reg

The water glass animation looks nice I guess, but this has to be the worst possible way to present this data? Compare it with e.g. Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_access_to... The tab

How would any new user earn karma in that system? How would any story get upvoted? Again, this system can only work if there are at least _some_ people that are willing to upvote newbies and read new posts. It sounds like what you want isn&

The filtering is supposed to be based on the quality of the content, and it's only useful to the extent that people filter either on quality directly or closely correlated metrics. If everyone votes purely on basis of the first letter

I never understood why Quad9, which is based in Switzerland, can get away with not applying the Swiss censorship to their DNS servers.

Would you really make the same argument if those two words were “White power!” or something?

What's your point? Immigration law existed before 2003 too. It might not have been the DHS or ICE enforcing it, but the concept of illegal aliens wasn't invented in 2003. And yes, I interpret “Abolish ICE” to mean “don't enfo

Objecting to murder qua murder isn't political, since murder is defined as unjustified premeditated killing. The key word being _unjustified_: it's hardly political to oppose something that is unjustified by definition. The politi

I don't have an opinion on whether the attribution is correct, but I don't think the complexity of the composition is a strong argument against it considering the artist was copying the engraving by Schongauer exactly (maybe even

This question is usually asked in bad faith, but I'll bite. Gender ideologues or genderists believe that whether someone is a man or a woman is determined primarily by that person's gender self-identification ("A woman is any

Are you referring to Imane Khelif? The allegation is not that she is transgender, but that she is male. And based on what is publicly known now, this almost certainly true. JK Rowling was right. (There is a bit of confusion around this topi

I'm going to be the nerd that points out that it has not been mathematically proven that pi contains every substring, so the pifs might not work even in theory (besides being utterly impractical, of course). On a more serious note, as

Also I don't think the equivalence between edge/vertex versions is trivial at all (though maybe we just have different standards of triviality). For example, in a grid like this: ..#### .....# #.#..# #...H# #

That conclusion may be too hasty. If min cut with k vertices is NP-hard on arbitrary graphs, that doesn't automatically mean that that applies to a 2D grid too. Is NP hardness proven for just planar graphs? Those are closer to the 2D g

The problem with that formulation is that it denies the importance of the quantative aspect of the difference of opinion. Of course there are views so extreme almost nobody would put up with them. But at the same time, being tolerant of dif
