Some funny anecdote, my fullname is relatively unique, two or three people have it AFAIK. On my upwork profile, they put the military veteran status because a completely unrelated military guy with the same name shows up in the google/

This is useful for detecting file types of unknown blobs with custom file extension, when the file command just returns data. Though it doesn't correctly identify lua code for some reason, it guesses with low probability that it's

Just talk to people with UDP, that way you don't have to do handshake, just speak without waiting for your turn. When they say "I'm sorry, I didn't quite get that, can you repeat?", you'd just go back to your l

I haven't read the whole paper, but isn't one reason MMA wins because it has less restrictions on what moves you can do? Other martial arts have strict rules on what kind of moves you do, so a practitioner of Taekwondo will be at

People invoke Occam's razor too often that it has become pretty much a thought-terminating meme. Occam's razor only gets you the simple, convenient explanation, it says nothing about the truth. Epistemologists understand this very

The code at https://jodavaho.io/posts/bash-journalling.html doesn't work for me. It looks like it is passing vim the -d args, which doesn't seem right since -d opens a diff view. I think you misplaced a comma
