Nope. Bitkeeper used it in the master-slave pairing and the term was carried forward. Gitlab did a whole writeup about it.

Well? Do you have any grapes?

$previous_job allowed us to pick. One of my coworkers had to replace his laptop, and I convinced him to try out Linux this time. I handed him the bootstrap script and he was back to working by the afternoon.

Our CEO got wind of this and said as a matter of policy everyone is switching to Linux unless they have a good reason (needing excel for financial reports is a good reason). The two new hires who had been setting up their dev environment for over a week at that point were the trigger for this.

This is a shit shitpost post shitpost.

Yeah, I was fumbling with the markdown for a hot minute.

I first found it on the bottom shelf of a CVS shampoo aisle.

It’s real:

TCP Selective Ack is very much a thing, but it does take extra memory so lots of TCP stacks exclude it or disable it by default.

TCP was never designed with wifi in mind. TCP retransmission was only ever meant to handle drops due to congestion, not lossy links.

Tmux is a wonderful complement to mosh. Together you get persistence even when your local client loses power (speaking from experience)

I worked with mosh for years to connect to servers on other continents. It was impossible to work otherwise. It only has two small warts: forwarding, and jump hosts.

The second is fixable/ish with an overlay network, but that isn’t always an option if you don’t control the network. I tried to solve this with socat but wasn’t able to configure it correctly - something about the socket reuse flag was very unhappy.

I was being sarcastic. Many journals don’t provide any of those services. Some journals even charge researchers for the “prestige” of publishing a paper. Peer review is mostly unpaid work, and some reviewers act as gatekeepers.

But surely the journals provide some sort of service for the researchers, right? Like paying for experts to review their scientific claims, or fact checking their citations, or even basic grammatical proofreading, right? If the journals are earning so much from research, then conducting academic research must be a lucrative field with so many publishers competing to be the first ones to publish a paper.

Honestly - if it’s a specific article, then just email the author. Unless they’re a blowhard they’ll usually be happy to shoot off a copy of the final PDF or at least a preprint. Doubly so if you’re a grad student and say how excited you are about their research.

I forgot about that one, thank you!

Whatever you do, make sure that you learn legally and avoid those horrible sites that steal the hard work of researchers and prevent publishers from properly incentivizing academic research by allowing just anyone to download research for free. You know, horrible sites like LibGen, SciHub, or Anna’s archive.

Totally disgusting sites that you should definitely avoid.

Intel, whose investment will be over five years, will pay a corporate tax rate of 7.5% instead of 5% previously. The normal tax rate is 23%, but under Israel’s law to encourage investment in development areas, companies receive large benefits.

Usually these types of grants are never a good investment but the increased corporate tax rate alone covers a third of the grant (9b yearly taxable revenue at 2.5% over 5 years comes out to 1.125b).

• MSF provide health services and are around 80% efficient (20% of your donation goes to overhead). I’m not sure if they make it easy to earmark a donation to Gaza.
• UNICEF does more infrastructure projects, but have around 30% overhead.

If you really want to maximize your impact, check if your employer or professional association have donation matching for various large charities.

There are obviously many more charities - these are two that I believe have the highest chances of actually reaching civilians in Gaza and not being diverted.

Also that in order to exploit this it requires an active man in the middle. Which requires any of the following:

• Reverse proxy hijack/NAT hijack - from a compromised machine near the server
• BGP hijack - stealing traffic to the real IP
• DNS hijack - stealing traffic to send to a different IP
• Malicious/compromised network transit
• Local network gateway control
• WAP poisoning - wifi roaming is designed really well so this is actually easier than it sounds.

Almost all of those have decent mitigations like 801.x and BGP monitoring. The best mitigation is that you can just change your client config to disable those ciphersuites though.

If the set of definitions contains the word set, does the English language implode in a recursive cascade of paradoxes?

Only if it comes with a fully voiced shield that is possessed by the ghost of a masochist who keeps getting you into fights randomly. Like calling out in front of the guard “hey! Catch that thief who stole a talking shield!” and then moans when you block.

Bonus points if it just randomly nopes out for some types of damage like fire.
