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.
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?
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?
I get this if I’m shopping in Waitrose. I think it’s from gripping the shopping cart so tightly whilst looking at the prices.
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?
Always. https://xkcd.com/378/
I’ve been using AWS R53 for this for ages and it works well. Not specifically recommending AWS but using dynamic updates rather than a DDNS service (or running your own name server which I’ve also done).
Is there any good reason to limit a text field like that these days? Although, UCAS probably still rocking a System/360…
Seeing your kids on stage is magic—my son has been in various professional and amateur roles since he was 10. He can act and sing, which opened up musicals too. Having several aspects to performance has definitely helped him. Actor musicians can be in great demand, but since there are few (compared to actor / singer / dancer), I don’t think there are as many opportunities as there might be.
If your kids are ok with the acting side, definitely encourage them.
On a related note, I was also involved in the building of a new theatre at my kids school, and I tried to convince them to not restrict it to the music and drama departments. No matter what field you’re going to go into, being confident in front of an audience (even just presenting on your own subject) is a valuable skill that theatre can teach. I’m now grey enough to not worry about speaking to an audience. I wish I’d had that confidence earlier in my career.
I started volunteering at a children’s theatre. Just finished the third of three production runs, seeing kids from 8 to 18 astound audiences with performances that surpass professional productions I’ve seen. It’s renewed my belief in the power of the arts to change lives, when my whole training and professional life has been in the sciences.
Atheist really means a definite belief that there is no god. Agnostic is less ‘strong’, asserting that it’s impossible to know how the universe was created and whether or not divine beings exist.
That is a lovely little vignette. Thank you for a glimpse into your world :)
Of course—that’s why we have such classics as
stristr()
,strpbrk()
, andstripos()
. 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.
