I'd say, Banque Worms ruling as we've found out can always be at play. Cough $900,000,000.00 accidentally transferred a couple years ago from a large bank to lenders.
Re:Bitcoin is a Ponzi on Saturday October 09, 2021 @05:30PM (#28813469)
By this definition, isn't for example USD a ponzi? Afterall, it is a Fiat currency now and not backed by a commodity. If I received wampum back that would offset it no? How does taxes/gdp protect you if taxes are of their self made up of USD.
Wait, they want common PORT on all phones yet the wall end isn't so common? Blasphemy ...
Re:WSL Getting GUI Support on Monday September 28, 2020 @08:12PM (#24622716)
I basically already do this with vcxsrv (launch vcxsrv with -ac, start wsl2, export DISPLAY, run emacs) and gui displays!
Re:How to Take Smart Notes on Tuesday February 18, 2020 @06:33PM (#22361576)
I replied about this project before but surprised it hasn't reached more mainstream awareness. Piggydb former and now Cotoami [1]

I wish things like https://piggydb.net/ had more momentum or competitors... personal knowledge databases seem to be such a tough niche to tackle.

Edit: since there is a new project here is more details years back: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2014/160/Workspace-Pigg...

Re:Q: Run SQL Directly on CSV Files on Thursday November 15, 2018 @02:35PM (#18462487)
Also, you can leverage the ISO/IEC 2022 extension and represent them with Caret Notation. Note: recommend an escaping mechanism depending on data. REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes#C0_(AS... An editor such as vim or pager like 'less' will display them. You can also 'cat -v' a file.
Re:The State of Agile Software in 2018 on Wednesday October 24, 2018 @10:48AM (#18292869)
I would argue Agile is a Philosophy and Waterfall would be more of a Methodology. My biggest concern with Agile is that it's lacking integration with a methodology (ie: best practices of waterfall could be in an agile way). Companies and teams tend to just say lets do Agile/Scrum/Kanban and leave out the requirements definition, documentation, etc and replace it with "As a user create shiny button". Which, might be fine in some cases but as a new-start it lacks direction IMO.

Re:Ntfy: A utility for sending notifications on Sunday August 28, 2016 @10:40PM (#12379648)
You can already do this with `write` which is in most linux distro's. Make sure `mesg` is set to y then test with `echo "hello" | write <username>`. `Wall` messages all logged in users and I wouldn't recommend that approach.
