Yes! I read this somewhere a little while back and have been doing it exclusively since. Makes tons of sense. Usually I have to look up what the long options are, since I've generally only memorized the short ones, but it helps immense

I just can't fathom this as I've never really had compatibility issues/quirks with good old #!/bin/bash. Only issues I've had have been with sed on Mac vs Linux. And I've written thousands of lines with lo

Most would sink yes. Ideally all containers would be ensured to sink, except for those containing materials hazardous to the marine environment, in which case they should contain floats (activated upon being thrown into the sea) and an AIS

Horrible movie (see my other comment[0]) but I'm wondering this as well, and what measures are being taken to ensure safety for mariners. Ideally you'd either ensure that the containers sink (easy/cheap), or that they stay af

It's a horrible movie, from a sailor's perspective. I cringed/facepalmed all throughout it - he doesn't do a single thing an actual sailor would do (at least in a timely manner). The only way this movie would be accept

Do you honestly believe he's written a single line of it himself? Those are the policies written by the party. He doesn't really care as long as people love, support and praise him.

I couldn't really care less about Trump before he was elected. And mind you I'm from Europe. That said once he became president it quickly became apparent what a danger he presented not only to the US but also to the rest of the

Probably going to (and should) be downvoted as well, but... while I respect republican/conservative views, how can you not see that this moron is the epitome of a shitty wannabe dictator? He's used all his power to try to falsel

Hmm. Ignore the existing coins for a moment, let's just imagine that starting today everyone gets their salaries paid in bitcoin and that's the only currency you can use. Assuming the value will slowly (and for the sake of argumen

User account retention you mean? This is why I try to shy away from work-related conversations in private messages (only casual chat) and encourage everything to happen in channels, which in turn are preserved.

I'm not an economist either but what you said makes sense. We instead nowadays have tons of various fees on our bank accounts so the return ends up being negative. And we're supposed to accept that this is fine and normal? Economy

Imagine a society not based on consumerism and quarterly report increases. Gasp! Back in the day people used to get interest (covering more than inflation) from holding money in their bank accounts. What's changed?
