Except at that point the Mafia are somehow supposedly the good guys?
C3 talks are available online for quite some time after the actual event, so you might still be able to watch it then.
Anyone who hits enter on a dd command without triple-checking it gets exactly what they deserve.
Well, it works well for some people.
Once you get used to it, it can be a dang powerful tool. For people doing a lot of config-wrangling on the CLI (i.e. admins working a lot ovet SSH), overcoming the learning curve will pay dividends.
If you’re working mostly locally and in a GUI environment environment, it’s probably not worth it - there’s a reason most devs use more specialized IDE’s.
Midnight Commander has been around for ages. It’s a straight ripoff/homage to the original Norton Commander, a full-fledged file manager and a godsend on week-kneed machines (like old netbooks).
The superposition principle says “no”.
There is a plausible economic incentive to do this:
Reputation.
This happens less in markets with few, big sellers and lots of customers locked into long-term contracts (like ISPs), but it does happen occasionally in high competition markets where customers can take their business elsewhere easily.
Restaurants are a good example - where I live, a host might hand out a round of after-meal shots on the house to encourage a big table of uncomplicated guests to come again.
Because one common assumption was that the universe might contain as much antimatter as matter.
Which begs the question: Where did it go? We would notice a huge amount of annihilation reactions in the solar system.
“Antimatter falls up” (is gravitationally repelled instead of attracted by normal matter) was an easy hypothesis to explain that.
Games that calculate a lot of pathfinding or similar in the GPU will end in a CPU-melting stutter fairly soon when run on Vulcan.
Satisfactory is a good example or this: It quickly becomes unplayable with any halfway complex setup.
If you’ve got a Linux native version, then you’re fine.
This was actually what got me hooked during university.
Had to plot about 40 txt files of measurement data, was not looking forward to do it one by one with the GUI-based tool I had.
StudyBuddy: “Do you have a Linux on this Laptop”?
Me: “Yeah, set up dual boot a while ago, never really wound up using it.”
StudyBuddy: Boots up Linux, installs gnuplot, types in a one liner.
Computer: Brrrrt. Here’s your 40 plots.
Me: “Okay, I’ve got to start looking into this.”
I genuinely like this idea, because it would allow to reach both goals.
The problem I see is that this would probably go down the same as the bodycam idea, with inconvenient recordings vanishing due to “technical issues”.
You’d need an independent third party doing life recording and delayed release. Subjectively, the US don’t have a great track record with these.
Easier idea: Just publish last week’s encryption key. Probably won’t happen because some tech supplier will lobby for a more expensive solution.
