This reminds me of something (far, far simpler) that I did long ago. I wrote a small webapp that continually queried various servers and would keep the connection open to push new blocks as the server-side async queries completed. I ran into output-buffering issues (probably from the reverse-proxy server, but I can't be certain at this point) and ended up appending a 1K block of commented-out non-printing unicode characters to ensure it would get flushed to the browser. I called it the plunger. Probably not the best solution πŸ˜…

Bad title. Biden won't enforce it because β€œGiven the sheer fact of timing, this Administration recognizes that actions to implement the law simply must fall to the next Administration, which takes office on Monday”. Trump takes office literally the next day, so he's going to have to enforce it (or not).

I do...mostly. I hit Q and P with my ring fingers instead of pinkies. For AZ;/ and shift and enter I do use my pinky fingers always, except (as I've just noticed) when I'm typing a capital A or Z. I seem to almost always hit the left shift instead of the right, so I end up using my left ring finger to hit the A or Z in that case.

I've run into bizarre behavior with windows command lines plenty of times before, but I'd never put all the pieces together and realized that:

a) windows really does pass around unadorned monolithic strings containing the entire command line of an executed command, and

b) there's no parsing standard for command lines in windows

sigh, windows

I see we've hit the first E: Embrace. I'm betting it'll only be a few months until they're Extending the protocol. Any wagers on how long until we hit Extinguish? 3 years maybe?

Need someone who knows more about EU law to chime in here: does this mean valve et al will be forced to implement a way for users to resell/transfer games to other users?

From wikipedia:

China Daily is an English-language daily newspaper owned by the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party.

Ah good, a trustworthy source.

 

The excellent PBS Spacetime - a physics and cosmology education channel - has released a new video detailing the effects and likelihood of supernovae in our stellar neighborhood.
