And likely Crowdstrike will have their own insurance. At the end of the day, it’s just gamblers sitting at the table, moving the chips around.

I learnt that when I was about 7 after shouting it at my dad in front of a crowd of people.

Function/Method names, on the other hand, should be written so as to make the most sense to the humans reading and writing the code

Of course—that’s why we have such classics as stristr(), strpbrk(), and stripos(). Pretty obvious what the differences are there.

But to your point, the ‘intuitive’ counterpart to ‘zeroth’ is the item with index zero. What we have is a mishmash of accurate and colloquial terms for the same thing.

Most humans wouldd never write the word first followed by (). It absolutely should have been zeroth(), and would not cause any confusion amongst anyone who needed to write it.

lol! There’s such a mix of people being genuinely helpful and people telling me the joke is past its sell-by date. But I hadn’t come across reflector before and will definitely give it a go—thanks :)

Thanks—will give this a try.

Thanks—I am running the zen kernel because I didn’t really understand the question during archinstall, and have added an AUR helper but still no lack of joy.

I’ll definitely give this a go—probably on Friday afternoon.

I remember using Mosaic on Silicon Graohics machines back in the early ‘90s. It’s was fab for the time.

And yes, Mosaic became Netscape, became Firefox. From the wiki page at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator

The business demise of Netscape was a central premise of Microsoft’s antitrust trial, wherein the Court ruled that Microsoft’s bundling of Internet Explorer with the Windows operating system was a monopolistic and illegal business practice. The decision came too late for Netscape, however, as Internet Explorer had by then become the dominant web browser in Windows. The Netscape Navigator web browser was succeeded by the Netscape Communicator suite in 1997. Netscape Communicator’s 4.x source code was the base for the Netscape-developed Mozilla Application Suite, which was later renamed SeaMonkey.[4] Netscape’s Mozilla Suite also served as the base for a browser-only spinoff called Mozilla Firefox.

Anything’s a regex if you’re brave enough.

10 years of idle time in 10 years. Did you just like leave a computer switched on for 10 years while you took up farming?

Ok Dougal, one last time. Small… Far away…

Partially. The summary isn’t quite in line with the detail:

Android is the only operating system that fully immunizes VPN apps from the attack because it doesn’t implement option 121. For all other OSes, there are no complete fixes. When apps run on Linux there’s a setting that minimizes the effects, but even then TunnelVision can be used to exploit a side channel that can be used to de-anonymize destination traffic and perform targeted denial-of-service attacks.

Just archive it and take up farming.

The thing with football is that there is a specific goal (pun very much intended). It’s ok to have a mindset that you’re going to play in a way that makes it unlikely (in the beginning) you’ll achieve that goal (eg play left footed), but if that player never improved, would you still think it’s ‘working’)?

I worked in an industry for many years that was obsessed with goal-setting, and that mindset never appealed to me. I eventually found a book called Goal Free Living by Stephen M. Shapiro. It was a bit of an eye-opener for me, and the phrase “Carry a compass not a map” stayed with me until today. I’ve done several different things since then but I’ll never be famous for any of them as I still keep changing direction.

No inconvenience—I like these kinds of things but then another question had a typo in it (varx instead of var x) and one of the options was ‘Error’ but again that was incorrect. It’s probably worth running these snippets just to make sure :)

Q2: Which is more efficient? Code blocks do 2 different things so cannot compare. What gives?

It’s funny you getting downvoted for quoting the linked article :/

Just started running Arch + KDE on a Kingston Traveller to experiment with setup. Installed from live usb iso and then ran archinstall to the same device.

Runs nicely on my dell xps laptop and my desktop with 3 monitors connected to an Nvidia 1070Ti.

How often did you catch it disappearing?

All good points—did you mean “tiny violin mode”, or have I been misunderstanding that song for a long time?
