I would be very hesitant to run sed on a bunch of files consisting primarily of highly compressed binary data.

What would be the point of streaming a game at 4K onto an 800p display?

We need someone to figure out the minimal number of bits which need to be flipped to change an Interstellar rip into Doom gameplay footage.

That is fair, I'm only a few years out of my teens. I guess it'll require more intent in the future once puberty completely wraps up?

I'd like my BMI to be higher as well though, I have to pay higher life insurance rates because mine is so low they've decided I am "at risk" despite being perfectly healthy :|

If the bowl doesn't have steep edges, my cat will end up pushing most of the food out of the bowl and scatter it across half the room in a frantic effort to get it into her mouth as quickly as possible.

Okay, I can't speak for this extremely fucked up example, but in general it's very simple:

1. see shape which sufficiently resembles (partially) naked woman, maybe in suggestive pose
2. neuron activation
3. you are now horny

There is no need to imagine any fucking, seeing the image is enough to get you into the mood, looking at it long enough (or at different images for long enough) will get you most of the way there, and the hand can take care of the rest

Trading has nothing to do with cryptocurrency mining. Also, any high-frequency trading firm worth their salt is using FPGAs for the things where performance really counts.

i think you mean Turkey?

EDIT: on closer inspection there are quite a few countries going toward Poland but none of them are Ukraine

Sadly a number of these don't seem to exist on Nyaa, or in any other English form that I can find.

That can't be a wheelchair, the wheel doesn't form a full circle. It's either a wheelchair with an extremely bumpy ride, or a person with a badly misshapen leg.

why did you take a 4chan greentext and reformat it like it's taken from some kind of corporate slideshow

Additionally, give this man a red hat and he would be the world's greatest Santa Claus.

To be fair, for most of those other mediums don't need as much time to consume. An old song takes a few minutes to listen to and a movie can be watched in a couple hours, but I have played thousands of hours of Minecraft (and will continue playing it for the foreseeable future).

Not sure what you're trying to ask, are you asking if using sudo to sign in as a different user will make kernel updates take effect? If so, the answer is no.

Linux is an operating system kernel, which basically means it's a program which runs other programs inside of it. For any "normal" program running inside Linux, you can update it by installing the new version and then exiting and relaunching the program so that the installed updates take effect. Similarly, after installing the Linux kernel itself, you have to exit and restart the kernel in order for the update to take effect. Because the kernel runs programs inside of it, exiting the kernel means all of those programs will be exited as well, and because the kernel is the only program running directly on the hardware, exiting the kernel means that your computer will power off. In simpler terms: getting kernel updates to take effect necessarily means you need to exit the old kernel and launch the new one, and there is no way to do that without reboot.

This assumes you have a machine which supports proper S3 sleep, which newer devices increasingly do not :(

A lot of modern laptops only support S0 "modern standby", which basically means the kernel puts all processes including itself on pause, but the CPU and all other components are still powered despite being idle.

Depends on your setup :) My PC pulls somewhere around 80W just for RAM.

(tested by comparing the idle power draw with only one DIMM installed vs all of them)

Just chiming in to point out that powering off and then starting back up won't cause any additional SSD wear, reading from flash memory doesn't use up write cycles* (because there is no writing going on!). In fact, regularly restarting could be slightly more friendly for your SSD, because the /tmp directory, old log files, etc. get deleted on startup, freeing up the storage blocks used by the deleted files so that the SSD can use them for its internal wear balancing.

technically, flash memory reads do very slightly degrade the data being read, but this effect is absolutely negligible compared to other forms of passive bit rot in flash memory and is basically irrelevant unless you're intentionally trying to corrupt data using reads (which won't happen because the flash controller will fix it before it becomes corrupt to the point of being illegible)

I can't believe they removed the photo of a dead pigeon captioned "An example of packet loss."
