I don't know the -f in rm -rf isn't a bug xD. I feel sorry for the poor engineer who fat fingered the command. It definitely highlights an anti-pattern in the command line but the fact that, that singular console had the power to

This was one of the best awk tutorials I've read its very concise and digestible. I sometimes use awk but the more complex things get the more i feel like i cannot use it. This tutorial made me feel otherwise

This got long and a little ranty sorry :/ TLDR: Take a proofs course and get perspective outside the problems you are struggling on and return with the ability to ask questions about what your actually doing and how to verify you did i

Try factoring this with the quadratic formula x^5+5x^4+10x^3+10x^2+5x+1. Or try guess and check with -1,0,1. The issue with formula's is that they constrain the space of the problems and ones mind especially. the problem above is facto

I think guess and check pissed you off because its taught as guess a random number and check they don't really teach you how to guess smartly and then you waste your time guessing in the wrong direction mindlessly. Its like teaching st

Sorry for the rant but as a math lover this is terrible. In my experience "algebra 2" is taught for multiple years and is in my opinion the most boring soul crushing math I was taught. And I say taught because its forced into you

So like I think the claim about the thermite coating could be wrong. That is my only concern you can't have the ship burst into flames in a minute. I don't know the truth of the hindenburg but it does seem like you could mitigate

Airships would probably be much fast than cargo ships though. Ships cut through the water at like maybe 30 mph in good conditions. Airships could easily keep as they are dealing with so much less drag. In the 1930 they moved at like 70 mph

So like to move a shipping container weighing 40 tons requires what 32x32x32 cubic meter space to be supported that's pretty tiny considering the other advantages. They could travel fast and in basically all weather. Lightening is a wo

So like I think this is kind the authors point. Downvote isn't going to solve everything but it is a tool that let people signal to one another of something being a miss. You can have spammers that downvote everything but like thats al

I like these town vibes and the US lacks these types of towns mostly because economics. Self sufficient farming is cool but there is a reason the vast majority of places don't do it. And one might say it creates that family or towny vi

Yeah but if that's not the default 2 factor authentication is not secure and its an illusion of safety. For companies and groups to claim its gives you all this security when it doesn't follow through even in the default case is m

I think the OP is just making an observation not a value statement consider his last bit is he doesn't know whether or not its a good thing. I also think this kinda doesn't follow because during down turns higher ups also commit s

That requires you to have that kind of data. The company could have be operating legally and not have compromising stuff. The ransomware team gains nothing if a company refuses to pay and has everything to lose by hacking. If there price is

But they could have made holes in the system or not disclosed all system holes which other hackers might take advantage of in the future

Yeah but think about the difference in cost the space shuttle alone costed almost 200 billion dollars over its 40 flights its still 5 billion dollars a flight. Now compare this to these boosted they don't include a mission module but t

I would agree with you but healthcare isn't a liquid/tangible asset like own stock or making cash is. I can't take out my healthcare the same way I can sell stock or collect a paycheck. Which in my opinion makes all the diffe

AI solve the process but doesn't give a whole lot of insight into the formulas and the description what's going on. Where we as humans have reasonably found that e = mc^2. However AI would gives us e or m but backboxes us away fro

Like this is awesome and a huge advancement but one thing that worries me with an AI solution is that it doesn't really draw us any closer to the why. Why do proteins fold the way they do? We can predict the resulting structure which i

Yeah I was wondering forever to how that were emulating x86 faster than native x86 its because they brought ram internal. But the ultimate black box is a better word than vendor lock-in. If they are gutting all the common stuff I wonder wha

I think the scale of wood production and iron production is very much demonstrated by the romans. This guys series goes over medieval metal production and He has sources with entire cities (Elba) in Rome produced iron ore in the range of 10

I'd agree that knowing basic arithmetic is important but the issue is deeper in America. The rules and problem type issue is a direct result of uninspired math teaching. Teaching arithmetic for the sake of arithmetic is boring and unin

Couldn't you argue that being in the state of constant learning but never the feeling of being utterly lost keeps you on discord. Like it keeps making things feel fresh and when you want to change mappings or what ever you can move you

Yeah this is something that seems really easier to fix now and really hard to fix afterwards

Maybe I am alone but I disagree and agree here. I agree that rich people know how to spend less but one does not become rich on savings alone. It takes the ability to make value out of nothing whether it be your the lord of feudal lands whi

Yeah you are assuming so many things there. Supply and demand definitely works but when you simplify out every detail you come to some bad conclusions. Giving people money will cause only specific things to raise in price. Things like house

I don't know the wand just aggregates the data in an offline setting, pretty hard to zero day that. Because even if you did it cant transmit the data out as its an offline device. I don't know how practical that is or if people wo

I think this is a question about timescales. Employers especially larger ones can afford to wait much longer than any singular employee. People break union lines because future better pay is not worth starving to death today. The average mi

I think you are missing the point that they don't open source any of there security in the iphone and that this vulnerability brings researchers a ton of freedom to execute arbitrary code
