I think this is the way that Linux desktop distributions are endangered, quoting from the article: "... apps and websites will not assume liability when a signal is not provided and assume the lowest age bracket. Any Linux distribution that does not provide an age bracket signal will result in a nerfed internet for their users."

On the Android app, tap the share button at the top of the recording play screen. This lets you export the audio WAV file. Select some other audio player app to share to, such as Podcast Addict, and use that app's Cast feature once it opens.

I'm definitely impressed with the sound ID. One time there was a cacophony of birds singing outside my house at varying distances, and the app was able to identify 6 different bird species within 30 seconds. All 6 suggestions seemed reasonable to me.

https://news.google.com/ is having trouble for me. Sections aren't loading, with the error "Uh-oh, something went wrong. Please try again." On Android, the Google News app says "No recent articles".

Got posted a minute ago.

Operational issue - Amazon CloudFront (Global) Service Amazon CloudFront Severity Informational RSS Elevated Error Rates Jul 18 10:26 AM PDT Between 9:37 AM and 10:13 AM PDT, we experienced elevated error rates for request serviced by the CloudFront Origin Shield and Regional Edge Cache in the US-EAST-1 region. The issue has been resolved and service is operating normally.

"This can be avoided by having the process listen on localhost, and then have the login flow redirect to localhost (including the token) on successful completion."

I think this is what the AWS Client VPN client for Ubuntu does. So AWS does have the method in their tool set somewhere, though I imagine it's owned by an entirely different team than their CLI.

Take a look at xerxes901's comment in this post. Looks like they got through to someone internally. And their comment history checks out; it appears they do with for or with Zendesk.

At least in both situations there Sheets allows you to undo the delete, so the closeness to other commands isn't so lethal. I've got no UX or UI training, but I gotta imagine that it'd be a basic rule that delete actions must always include a confirmation request or an undo option. In Voice, the lack of both confirmation and undo is just ludicrous.

I thought that pseudo random referred to the way that the seed number was generated. Like, by sampling disk I/O metrics, thermometer readings, and mouse movements and combining them together. Pretty random, but still predictable in certain ways. If you wanted a truly random seed, you'd need to sample something the physicists say is actually random, such as cosmic microwave background radiation or certain subatomic processes following the uncertainty principle.

Did I learn wrong? Are all random numbers derived from an appropriate recursive function considered pseudo random, no matter how the seed was derived?

SSH quoting 5 years ago

Shell parsing is hard.

In general, not for SSH specifically, I tend to close quoted bash strings instead of trying to figure out how many escapes I need. Especially useful for awk and sed.

For example:

  $ echo "One Two Three" | awk '{print "'"'"'"$2" here'"'"'"}'
  'Two here'
Ok, maybe escapes would have been easier in this particular example.
  $ echo "One Two Three" | awk '{print "\'"$2" here\'"}'
  >
No wait, that doesn't work. Why didn't that work?
  $ echo "One Two Three" | awk '{print "\\'"$2" here\\'"}'
  awk: cmd. line:1: {print "\\
  awk: cmd. line:1:        ^ unterminated string
  awk: cmd. line:1: {print "\\
  awk: cmd. line:1:        ^ syntax error
...Nevermind, my original way is still better for me.

Those are some good points that reflect my own experience. My first language was TI-BASIC, self-taught during high school study halls on the TI-83 Plus. My second language was Z80 assembly on that calculator. I think the self contained nature of the programming and running environment in a portable device, along with limited features and power, is really what got me started.

And it ended up helping me choose Computer Science as my college degree and put me on the career path I'm on now. TI has its faults, but I'll be ever thankful for their roll in my job satisfaction.

Ohh, I think I see. So instead of (or in addition to) creating internal subnets inside 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16, they set up subsets inside DoD's 11.0.0.0/8 etc., and it worked out because there were no external BGP announcements for those ranges. But now that there are, if they did not explicitly configure their border gateways to route those ranges inside their networks, the traffic may now leak out to DoD's pilot effort.
