How do you extract the last (largest) entry for each normalized key from the sorted list? What is the command line function?

Actually early genx. I don’t think most millennials were old enough for a lot of the jokes in 90’s simpsons as they were young teens. But glad you got it!

Go try your method and spot the bug. If you can’t, then respond and I’ll tell you. hint: you need one more manipulation to find the answer before or after the sort, there’s a command line version of it but it uses .. a hash.

I know. I’m talking about Perl. Try to keep up.

What’s nostalgic to me is that this is such a classic Perl pattern: hashing manipulated strings to find relationships. Prior to Perl doing this was painful. Boost wasn’t a thing. Python was in its cradle and Java was still struggling with b

What a painfully simple oversight that I’m sure the vast majority of programmers would overlook because the most popular languages are interpreted ones that natively support arbitrary precision bigints.

1Password literally asks you to print out your private key. Yet their hygiene is lauded.

An easier and more reliable way to make money is to sell it to neighboring countries that need energy. Like they had been doing. Seems to me a little corrupt birdie told them about BTC and their ruling class wanted in on another way to hide

Brands that never die are called necrobrands? Necro means of death. More like immortal brands.

How would I find the CVE's on sudo/su? I opened up mitre.org and cve.org, but searches for sudo/su brought up hundreds of issues (or more), and most of them were not about sudo/su. (It's a bit like searching for &qu

Because then you end up with multiple versions of a critical tool, which drift out of sync, and create more vulnerabilities. (e.g., look at the bluetooth/hci interface on linux.)

Not all of them. Depends on the remote that comes with it though. Some remotes don’t have a screen to save money and you need a phone for that style.

I built a home security system using PoE CCTV cameras, a small linux box, and copious use of GStreamer. Yes I know there are hundreds of these on GitHub, but I looked at dozens that were awful (sorry, Motion). At first I tried all kinds of

One of the claims about attention disorders IIRC is that it only affects thing people having to do things they don’t like. Which seems a bit sketchy to me so I probably am misunderstanding but the idea is even kids with adhd can play Minecr

Are they really that noisy? I fly 10" drones and once they are about 30 ft away you can't really hear them. 3" and 5" drones are silent at 30ft on a calm day.

Simple: don't use your phone. They make remotes that have screens built in. No way I give them access. I even have them connect to a locked down SSID in my house LAN.

I've always been baffled how the standards for what is INSIDE and ECU is far more strict than outside. Functional Safety ASIL MISRA ASPICE ISO 21434 ISO 26262 Yet ... touchscreens.

I don't know why marijuana gets a pass. Anyone in my age group >50 who knows lifelong heavy marijuana users sees the same thing: they're sort of middle-of-the-road schlubs or schlubettes who believe the craziest theories, don&#

You don't use your real name, you go by SoftTalker. I run stylometrics on your HN posts, then on every document archived by a data broker, including highschool/college papers. I identify you. I can then use that information to ext

I think the word you are looking for is "osmosis". People learn faster when they have someone to teach them in a multi-modal environment. Videoconferencing is only a shadow of this, and everything is scheduled. There is zero chanc

I consider 100k USD for a few months of work sending out emails just to coordinate a three day conference to be “bank”.

That’s a great apnote (app report?) and I agree with you I just think LDO is a confusing term.

For presenters to pad their CV. Source: that’s literally why I do it. Plus nothing like getting a LinkedIn-ready picture of yourself on stage in front of a ginormous screen with a headset looking all TED. Edit: Or if you create a conference

I know you’re trolling, but it’s funny that the CLI is the most productive UI and it is literally ancient/obsolete in computer time yet it persists. New != better.

I like how deceptively complicated this problem is. It rapidly goes from “oh this is obvious” to “oh I see it now” to “I need multiple cross disciplinary PhDs to understand the answer and it’s proof.”
