   For me, somewhat surprisingly, the best bash resource I've come across is the manpage. If you haven't read this and have instead relied on any other resource, I would recommend spending some time to read the bash manpage before d

   Yes, so the argument is, if the main token influencing the posterior is the prior rather than the likelihood, then in the presence of such highly unequal priors, presenting unequal posteriors as strong evidence of unequal likelihoods is dis

   This is true, but misses an important exception: people who received vaccines despite demonstrating natural immunity at the time of vaccination. Indeed I'd be interested to know of those episodes of VRM, how many of them had recent COV

    I don't have numbers at hand at the moment, but the expectation is that its background rate is effectively zero in the absence of viral illness (COVID or otherwise), and presumably VRM is still lower compared to COVID-induced cardiac e

    > You can't pass an array by value Sure, but, this is the case in all languages, no? Otherwise, what should be the convention? A deep copy? A first-degree shallow copy? You simply can't avoid the referential nature of arrays fo

    Agreed. I try to do the same with my stuff. Honest, transparent market research / placement improves your offering, rather than diminishes it.

    I don't entirely agree with this article ... it's quite possible to "pass" an array as a pointer to an array type, as opposed to a decayed pointer, e.g. void f( int (*a) [5] ); int a[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; f( &amp

    I've used keynav successfully on Linux to emulate a mouse via my keyboard when my mouse broke. Quite nice, especially with the right configuration (the default is a bit lacking for my taste). However, I wouldn't want to eliminate

    I have a personal pet peeve about the misuse of terminology when dealing with such names, for which the only solution is to go read the original reference to figure out what they meant by it. E.g., in this case, to describe a data structure

    I don't think playing "my definition vs your definition" is a fruitful discussion in general, but the answer is, it depends. If you're in the camp who treats UX as a professional title/career, then in principle it h

    What you're describing isn't UX though. At least not in the way that UX professionals understand it. There being "impostors" in the field who bluff their way through, while regrettable, does not imply that the whole indu

    Agreed that this is one of the major mechanisms. But that's not the point I'm making here. It's a more general point regarding how the implicit "Why now?" question is often more newsworthy than the explicit "Wh
