A sad day for orange solidarity.
The environment is doomed either way without action. Is the issue that some demographics will become more dominant?
It'd be helpful if the readme mentioned why someone would want to migrate from backoff.

I don't care about 90% of the posts on this site, but enough are relevant to make it worthwhile.

It'd be silly to reply to the threads that don't interest me.

Less than 1000 employees in London, they're not a big deal in that sense.

You're then a target known to be vulnerable and pay ransoms, so best focus on security.

Then it shouldn't be difficult to comply.

DHT has existed for 17 years - the cat's out of the bag. The anti-piracy companies have built their own crawlers.
It's only suction's caramalized onion pasta sauce if it comes from the self-loathing region of France. Otherwise it's just sparking onion sauce.

Bitnami broke their MongoDB Helm chart. We're careful to pin versions, and hadn't anticipated someone would re-write history and break published code.

Can't get too upset, we don't pay them anything. Not in a rush to use them again though.

Re:People work longer and different hours under lockdown on Sunday August 09, 2020 @12:10PM (#24100554)
I think that's more applicable to remote work generally.

Lockdown is a different and and new scenario, more akin to Groundhog Day. Work can be a relief.

I'd have solved it same way as the article, as they're tools I'm familiar with - feels like overkill though. How would you have managed it?
That's interesting... does it behave much differently to private windows?
It's probably not the .NET you're thinking of: "By 2003, however, the .NET strategy had dwindled into a failed branding campaign"

Re:When optimising code, never guess, always measure on Wednesday September 05, 2018 @02:19PM (#17920589)
Oh you're right, that's interesting - have replicated your result.

"a2 = a2+c; c = c+2" is still fastest on both 2 and 3, though don't know enough to say why.

Re:When optimising code, never guess, always measure on Wednesday September 05, 2018 @02:12PM (#17920526)
Red herring perhaps - seems due to the inplace add. It's quicker yet if you take out the multiple assigment:

    $ for STMT in "a2, c = a2+c, c+2" "a2 += c; c += 2" "a2 = a2+c; c = c+2"; do
        echo \[$(python3 -m timeit "a2 = 1; c = 1; $STMT")\] $STMT
    done | sort -n
    [... 0.0547 usec per loop] a2 = a2+c; c = c+2
    [... 0.0569 usec per loop] a2, c = a2+c, c+2
    [... 0.0608 usec per loop] a2 += c; c += 2
There are tutorials on the v2 docs, might still be relevant?

They mention Graphicraft was unable to load the images unless booted with a particular Kickstart version.

Beware that you can only have one EXIT handler. I've used this in the past figuring it's analogous to Go's `defer`, but unfortunately not.

e.g this script:

    #!/bin/bash
    trap 'echo Handler 1' EXIT
    trap 'echo Handler 2' EXIT
Will only call 'Handler 2' on exit.

I'm impressed C64 Basic had floating point!
