Europe to China. Look at a globe and not a map. Currently it mostly goes via Suez as Panama is such a long way out of the way. The Northwest passage was such a prized goal for 500 years because of trade with the far east.

I think you’re making the assumption that the Commander in Chief is actually commanding. One of the thing I found really scary about the Signal chat was that Stephen Miller said something along the lines of “as far as I heard him, it was a green light” and then everything kicks off. That group made it all happen based on hearsay of Trump giving a go.

…and WTF is the VP involved in the decision making of a strike for? He should be briefed, but he’s not part of the chain of command until Trump is incapacitated.

Yeah, I’d put this article under “bad takes”. Trumps focus appears to be mining. If this was on his radar he wouldn’t be so concern about Panama as it would be made largely redundant.

Then again for these guys “the oil must flow”.

I’m not sure France is moving right. It’s moving away from the centre in both directions.

Also. If you do want to add an option to show the last few lines of the log using tail instead of cat will do it.

Rather than reading the whole log just to add a line to it, you can use >> to append to the end of the file.

function log()
{
	local changelog="/run/media/jamie/DUAL/changelog"
	if [ "$1" == "--view" ]; then
		cat $changelog
	else
		echo "$(date +%D:%H:%M): $1" >> $changelog
	fi
}

Scammers never let a good global crisis get in their way.

1. Rebadge a distro and say it’s fromm the EU
2. …???
3. Profit!

Set it and forget it, eh?

Any distro you like, as long as you stop futzing with it.

Seriously… they’re breaking because you change things. Linux machines stay up for years without issue. Stop breaking the install.

Doesn’t actually say that 60k overheated his drive. He says that he ran a run on 60k, and that he couldn’t do the whole database due to overheating. Two unrelated statements except that 60k is the lower bound for what he could process.

Doesn’t mean he knows what he’s doing though, as pretty huge datasets are processable on quite modest hardware if you do it right.

Don’t tend to have a terminal emulator of any kind installed on remote boxes. They’re headless.

That exception is my primary use case for tmux, so that explains it.

As a non-user of kitty, why did it make you drop tmux? Don’t they do different jobs?

When you’re working with the binary representation of numbers.

In your code you had three numbers 25, 10 and 5. If we write those number in binary we get:

• 25: 0b00011001
• 10: 0b00001010
• 5: 0b00000101

(The 0b at the start is just a way of saying “this is binary”)

When you do a bitwise-or, it’s a bit like adding up but you don’t bother with carrying anything. So let’s do 25 | 10, starting at the right-hand end going bit by bit (bitwise):

• 0 | 1 = 1
• 1 | 0 = 1
• 0 | 0 = 0
• 1 | 1 = 1
• 1 | 0 = 1
• 0 | 0 = 0 for all the rest

So the result is 0b00011011 which is 27.

So now you’re asking “when would I ever need to do such a thing?” and the flippant answer is “you’ll know when you need it”.

You’re looking for more though, I know. Basically computers often put multiple bits of data into bitstreams (long sequences of bits). Think networking and file storage. Constructing these bitstreams is done with bitwise operators like |, &, ^, << and >>. Together they form a different type of maths to what you’re used to.

These operators work in a very similar way to how +, -, * and / work. They take two numbers and return a third. If we rewrite your code using operators you’re more familiar with…

    if coin == 25 | 10 | 5:  # if coin == 31
        ...
    if coin == 25 + 10 + 5:  # if coin == 40
        ...

…you can see it’s obviously wrong because you’re doing one comparison with the result of the operation (addition or bitwise-or), not three comparisons.

Of course compressing isn’t a good solution for this stuff. The point of the comment was to say how unremarkable the original claim was.

It all depends on the data entropy. Formats like JSON compress very well anyway. If the data is also very repetitive too then 2000x is very possible.

Those are rookie numbers.

Rust was the important factor in this result. That’s why it’s in the headline. It wasn’t the hugely inefficient way of storing the data initially. Not at all.

FFS, you could just have run gzip on it probably.

Yes. Yes you can.

Ignore it. Move on.

as it’s spelled: im gur.

“I’m gur”?

Tony… Is that you?

To be fair, that interview was conducted in a respectful manner. He was given plenty of space to explain his position. Fox news has surprised me on this occasion.
