Posting from a kbin.social account to avoid the lemmy.today issues -- on lemmy.today, the current behavior looks like the messages in the queue go out when the instance is restarted, but not until then. It's running 0.19.1.
I am not the admin there, but wanted to make that available in case other instances are affected and trying to diagnose similar behavior; federation problems themselves can cause communication problems in trying to understand the issue.
No, though it could be the first character in a hashtag. A hashtag includes the characters that follow.
EDIT: The article I linked to says that in Canada, it's typically called the "number sign", in the US, the "pound sign", and in the UK, the "hash mark".
£
Ugh, didn't think of that interpretation.
Pound sign, as in "#".
Text-based-games and MUDs are not the same thing. There's a considerable library of text-based interactive fiction out there.
I use these tools.
That being said, I think that a lot of the value of knowing them comes specifically from their ability to let one cobble together things to automate the broader Unix environment, for which they are invaluable.
If one's goal is specifically exploratory data analysis, I think that one probably gets more bang-for-the-buck in learning GNU R or something like that.
I'm thinking that this is some sort of joke article at City AM, because it's always convention to define an acronym at first use, and they didn't just omit it -- like, it probably wasn't just an editorial error -- but put it in at the very end of the article.
Han is the captain. The captain of a ship makes the calls as to what it does, and the Millennium Falcon came back.
I think a better question is why Luke gets special recognition versus the other pilots. I mean, he happened to be the one to make the final shot that blew up the Death Star, but everyone else in the squadrons went in too.
I suppose it was just a matter of time for this to happen, once the Russian government started cracking down on domestic Internet use in Russia.
Unfortunately, we haven't managed to domesticate huckleberries, so getting the huckleberries for the sauce is probably going to be a pain if you don't live somewhere near where they grow in the wild.
I don't think that there's an immediate application for specifically making carrots, because I doubt that the economics work, but I can imagine a world where we manufacture a lot more food than we do today.
Ehh....Not really a mechanism for that that I can see. I mean, say that there's demand for that, which I can believe. Do I go to a given distro and buy a "security hardened" version? I don't see how that would work. Is the distro going to refrain from incorporating security fixes into the "non-hardened" free version?
I can see your comment from lemmy.today and on lemmy.ml and on kbin.social.
I can see a response to you from @dandroid on lemmy.today and on lemmy.ml. I cannot see that response from kbin.social.
