-by (Norse suffix for 'settlement') vs. -bury (corruption of Old English for 'castle') lets you pretty nicely draw out the borders of the historic Danelaw i.e. the area where the Norse Vikings settled: https:/&#x2

Exactly. The author even opens the article with the nice trivia that CSV has been in use since the 1970s. I don't think anyone disputes that CSV is a very primitive format. But I hope no one uses CSV because it is so performant or well

The ventilation within the sauna is actually more effective the greater the temperature gradient between the entering low-CO2, cold air and the stale, hot air in the sauna. You want the entering air "falling" on the stove because

They do mention FrontPage though. As far as I can remember, FrontPage was pretty nice. I built my first home page with it. I wanted to (visually) best all of my friends on IRC. So I designed how I wanted the page to look in (an obviously pi

This is a great question. The answer is that it's literally impossible to write a "safe C compiler" since the language is inherently memory unsafe. There are various static analysis tools that can try to simulate C programs a

You still fail to understand that curl's -C does not behave as a simple flag but as an switch with a mandatory argument. And there's a magic special value for that argument that finally enables the expected behavior. It's u

by vesinisa 3y ago
You recall incorrectly. curl's -C flag does not work as-is. You must specify the offset from where it should continue. Why doesn't it take the resumed file's existing length as the guess by default? What else could the user
