It works fine with GNU env with -S support, and a GNU-compatible kernel. I'm aware that won't work on some other systems, hence the 9 other examples. I said I would try that first and see how it goes, and low and behold it works f

These are part of the rituals of learning how a system works, in the same way interns get tripped up at first when they discover ^S will hang an xterm, until ^Q frees it. If you're aware of the history of it, it makes perfect sense. U

When you say "just... run linux", are you referring to termux, or something else ? How do you run a linux userspace in Android ?

Perhaps that is inexcusable. GNU gcc version 13.2.0 (with -O2, as documented) does report a problem. $ cat tst.c int main () { int x[10]; return *(x+20); } $ gcc -Wall -O2 tst.c tst.c: In function ‘main’:

I suppose R might be a better choice... library(readr) library(dplyr) library(purrr) data <- read_csv("input.csv") chunk_size <- 500 chunks <- split(data, ceiling(seq_along(1:nrow(data))/chu

I would save my data in CSV format, then use this. Save the code below as chunk.pl (remove leading spaces) and call it as "perl chunk.pl" : #!/usr/bin/perl -CSD -w -Mstrict -Mwarnings -MText::CSV # ch

Can you post your tmux config that mocks GNU Screen? Here is mine : https://pastebin.com/ZVWYcpyU , but a lot of GNU Screen muscle memory fails for various reasons. The main reasons I'm trying to switch are: better scr

The site doesn't scroll at all on Firefox(X11) with ublock and umatrix, even when the non-tracking sites are enabled. In Brave browser it somewhat works in a janky way, but given that the site apparently brings a 24-core threadripper

Steve Mann resolved this notational dilemma by using the term "crown", as in binary = crown 1, octal = crown 7, decimal = crown 9, hex = crown F, and so on.

On-screen keyboards all seem to fail, with "onboard" crashing when you try to type, most others not showing up at all.

Am I misreading this? > How tall was the president when JFK was born? I infer that "JFK" is being referred to as "the president", regardless of what stage of life he's at. Therefore the correct answer would be t

Practically speaking, unverifiable and unfalsifiable. They say once in 7.5 million years, so why don’t they show the previous 7.5 million years? If that's not possible, and we only have 1989-2023 data, then the 7.5 million year comment

I'm also curious how Mint resolves the security threat of Debian and Ubuntu, given its lineage.
