I VNC into many different contexts when doing my job, including both linux, MacOS and windows. In vim I find the keystrokes to invoke block mode and some other functions change with the context. In Notepad++, you just hold the alt key and your mouse can select blocks or make a column cursor where you can type on multiple lines at the same time.
The major problem with Notepad++ is that it doesn't run natively on Linux.
If vim had a consistent interface across windows and different Linuxes, then it would be superior.
>up until the late 1980s, half of the people graduating from Computer Science programs were women.
Bullshit. I was studying computer science in college in the late 1980s. Occasionally a women would be seen, but it wasn't common. My recollection is of 3 or 4 women in a room of 200 students.
I use VIM and Notepad++, but if Notepad++ was on Linux, I'd be using it there too. Notepad++ got the usability/productivity thing right. It's interface for columular work makes VIM and Emacs look just sad.
This administration is following the play book of every previous administration, which is to try and 'fix' whatever is going on in middle East in the last couple of years of the president's second term.
But to answer your question, to a lot of people, yes, morality stops at the country's border.
Only if you're an international douche bag of the highest order. Occupying the lowest stratum of moral behavior is what damns organisations to fighting themselves as much as they fight real enemies.
I'm a security expert. Unless you know how the internals of the IRS and SSN computer systems, you can you predict how blocking the social security electronic access would affect the way people can interact with the IRS computers?
That's a classic model for attacking with a MITM. MITM the http page (because you can). Get a cert for say irs.taxservices.com instead of irs.gov On the switch to https, redirect to the irs.taxservices.com. Continue to MITM, proxying to irs.gov while the user enters all their secrets.
The 'hard' questions where things like 'what was your monthly payment on that loan'. There were 2 hard question, each with 4 choices. So that's 3 bits of information. You would expect to guess correctly 1 in 8 times. So if you have a database of SSNs and names and DOBs, you can succeed first time on 12.5% of them on average.
In the article, there is a link to sign up in the first paragraph.
My point was that a typical taxpayer might go there and not even know there's an option to sign up. Not everyone reads Slashdot. I only know because I read the Slashdot article.
It gave password rules and validated the password on the fly with four green ticks, one against each rule (> 8 chars, special chars etc.). I used a 32 character password generated from my password manager.
The web page then errors out each time I tried to enter the password, saying it needed a valid password, even though the password was declared valid each time. In the end I got it to work when I reduced the password length below 20 characters. This may be due to the length, or some other difference, since my password manager was creating a different password each time I fiddled with the generator rules.
The whole thing sticks of basic programming incompetence.
The advice to sign up there may be reasonable, but the words 'sign up' or anything semantically similar do not appear on the front page. It's not obvious where you would go to try to sign up.
And electric resistance heating is usually *terrible* compared to any number of available alternatives.
It represents a *huge* waste of exergy, when a heat pump (as you allude to) can produce several units of heat for one unit of electricity.
So, in summer it's all bad and in winter it;'s at least 75% bad. And that's ignoring (eg) CO2 and other emissions from the generation mix.
Can we stop with this "waste is good" meme?

An electric heater heated by electricity from nuclear or hydroelectric generators is in no way worse than the alternatives from a carbon and/or sustainability point of view.
But a standby to listen for a remote need not take more than a few 10s of milliwatts.
The reason they have a stupid standby draw is because it's cheaper to just use the 200W power supply and not put in the extra components for a standby power supply.
Right, but plasmas are a bit thin on the ground where humans live and humans are the ones who call things things. There may be aliens who call plasmas and gasses things, but they probably have different words for them. "No Fnakquar, an antivacuum is called a 'congressman' " or some such.

So who's going to jail?
Can you tell us the value of Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin in the future?
Thanks.
All worthless in the present.
It seems you could actually get about $259 in return for a bitcoin this morning.
I work for one of the companies mentioned in the summary and I still have no clue what it means.
>resolve issues and progress the driver in a turn-key manner.
That sounds like the worst sort of corporate speak.
>Khronos VULKAN specification
Double wut. WTF is a Khronos in this context? WTF is a VULKAN in this context?
This administration is following the play book of every previous administration, which is to try and 'fix' whatever is going on in middle East in the last couple of years of the president's second term.
I have low expectations.
Yes. You're right. They were testing their circuits.
I've done similar things for an async clock crossing (only need to sync one signal pair), but that's on chip.
Fewer wires saves cost in a coin-op machine as well as a console.
How is this news? Do Yalies suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect?
I had to Google 'Yalies'.
Now I'm smarter.
No. She said "What the hell are you planning to do with that knife?"

You'll do better to cut it up and cook the breasts for less time than the legs.

How would blocking social security electronic access block IRS electronic access?
Right.

This is why the home page should be https.

I did. That's how I found the place to sign up.
I signed up.

I just went to www.irs.gov

It's not https either.

Are you saying it's unfair that the person who wrote emacs isn't a woman?
