@Ramesh It amazes me when I stumble upon some heavily upvoted A that's little more than a link and it's broken, and ppl allowed it to persist. They should be either a comment or deleted, or move the content into the site.
It's generally been on other SE sites that I've seen this, SF is probably the worst about it.
I have a jar file which I am running like this in my Ubuntu 10.10 and then it starts my exhibitor server in the background -
nohup java -jar /pekooz/exhibitor-1.5.1/lib/exhibitor-1.5.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar -c file --fsconfigdir /opt/exhibitor/conf --hostname machineA > exhibitor.out &
Now...
In general, you are saying, I should make a new shell script and paste this content -
sh -c 'while true; do java -jar /pekooz/exhibitor-1.5.1/lib/exhibitor-1.5.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar -c file --fsconfigdir /opt/exhibitor/conf --hostname machineA; done'
in that shell script and then run this shell script?
but then how does it make sure that if exhibitor is not running, then only starts the exhibitor. By this, it will keep on executing the java command right everytime, no matter whether the exhibitor is running or not?
And also if machine got rebooted, then this shell script won't work right?
What command could print pi for me? I want to specify how many digits it prints, I couldn't find anything online. And also this is nothing serious, I just want to be able to print pi.
@Anthon - many users don't understand they can accept A'ers. I do a fair amount of reminding on that just so we have as thorough a selection of Q's w/ accepted A's. 8-)
That question got 3 leave-opens in a row, (including one from me I have to confess) you are right that it doesn't have much to do with unix&linux
@slm can you see what the original close vote reason was for that Q, I don't recall it as something clear like: doesn't belong here, but I can't get it from the history.
hardly misnamed. Linux is a kernel, OS, and platform.
if you start any GNU/Linux crap we'll kill ya
why do ppl get so up tight about "names". Do we put any stake in the meaning of Tyler as your name? It's just a label/alias so that we know who you are.
@Anthon I liked the Infinite Improbability Drive. Something about a flower pot turning into a whale, or vice versa.
Also, e.g.
"This planet has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."
"on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy." Lol.
He also has some good things to say on the subject of towels. I'm pretty pro-towel myself.
Yeah but wow! I have a bona fide human mind, one of the best machines in the universe for identifying patterns from random data and I can't see any there.
Um, the best machine being the human mind, not mine in particular. I'm not that full of myself.
Well, there are two things to take into account: sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity is how many of real hits you find and specificity is how many of your hits are real.
A Wrinkle in Time is a science fantasy novel by American writer Madeleine L'Engle, first published in 1962. The story revolves around a young girl whose father, a government scientist, has gone missing after working on a mysterious project called a tesseract. The book won a Newbery Medal, Sequoyah Book Award, and Lewis Carroll Shelf Award, and was runner-up for the Hans Christian Andersen Award. It is the first in L'Engle's series of books about the Murry and O'Keefe families.
== Publication history ==
The book was written between 1959 and 1960. L'Engle wrote repeatedly about the writing of the...
So, I've known that word since I was about 12 and I only discover it actually means something in my 30ies. Sigh
I haven't read it since I was a child. I loved it then but fear I may be too old for it now. Certainly worth it though. It's a great children's/young adult book
@terdon I took a typing course back in '78 and had 205 characters per minute at the test (which consisted of re-typing one sheet of text). Each error on the page was -10 on speed (IIRC I had two erors). And that was on a mechanical typewriter.
It stops the site from being gamed
A user like Jon Skeet will gain 1000+ points in an hour if this didn't exist for example. Jon objects to the cap himself for other reasons. PS: I am using Jon as an example that we all know
It is to level the playing field
It allows for others that won't gain...
@Ramesh It also limits the effects of questions going viral. For example, I dod not deserve and should not receive 1610 reputation points for this crap:
The worst that can happen is limited only by your attacker's imagination. If you're going to be paranoid, physically connecting pretty much any device to your system means it can be compromised. Doubly so if that device looks like a simple USB stick.
What if it's this?
Pictured above is the i...
@Ramesh I saw that and that is kind of strange because it looked like that person never gained more than 20 upvotes a day. But consistent upvoting 1500 times anyway.
But if a person can gain 15k reputation for a single answer (He is not even regular, I guess), it makes 200 daily rep cap laughable. I mean why should any user be deprived of the upvotes he gets?
To that Alex's credit, he did provide >5k A'ers, perhaps things happened in his life. The upside is that he did the work on an SE site and not some blog that he no longer maintains and is lost.
@Ramesh The host specific stuff int he config is awesome. I used something close to that when my internet provider at home had routing problems and I couldn't go directly to my server (located in a data center).
I've used that host stuff too for several years. I like to setup hostname and hostname-o shortcuts so that i can get to hostsnames inside and outside through a VPN or tunnel server
No more re-typing the same comments over and over!
This script adds a little 'auto' link next to all comments boxes. When you click the link, you see a popup with 6 configurable auto-comments (canned responses), which you can easily click to insert.
This script was inspired by answers to thi...
@Anthon it doesn't recalculate either. So if you had a -X after you hit the cap, it won't take from a previously overflowed UV, you only get the -X back if you get another UV
apparently I've studied this algorithm a bit 8-)
also if you get +200 and then a minus the +200 day still counts to the badges
@slm did not know that, not enough days with rep cap I assume ;-) I noticed that when I deleted a downvoted answer the +2 was added separately in the history.
@Anthon, I was just thinking of helping you by posting this and asking for explanation. I thought if you explained, and then I could accept the answer but never mind. :)
@Anthon no issues. I will try to explore more on what it means. If not, I would probably post it as a question in the site (assuming one such question doesn't exist already).
@slm ok. So, he discusses a technique where he uses the https protocol to ssh into the company machine thus by passing company firewall. Am I right in understanding?
@Anthon @StéphaneChazelas Don't vote to delete spam, don't downvote spam, don't edit spam. Only flag it as spam. There's a filter that learns from posts deleted as spam. If a spam post ends up deleted from ordinary deletion, it isn't locked so it can be undeleted, and the spam filter doesn't learn from it.
