Recently some big billion sale. Since i run low on funds i use to add things to cart, not buy though.

I added an item for its cost was 48$.

Now during sale, i revisited same product, they say original price is 80$ and on sale 13% off, so 70$ around

Thats why i stopped using youtube and all since last 7 years. I do regret it daily not able to explore new content. Content from different countries, anyway that was'nt even possible without vpn as youtube don't allow to set country in a straight forward way.

I keep listening to my old collection, though repeated songs and videos, but atleast i got peace offline.

Thats what always been portrayed in films and stories for so long.Police never solved cases. There were detectives involved specialist who solves crime. While only job of police is to arrest any suspicious person, take them to station, then to court, then to jail. Essentially they are just drives carrying criminals. The very first loose evidence and suspect, that it arrest them question them, torture, if officer is lucky, that person is the criminal or one who just accepts blame. All their effort is solving as fast as they can to maintain record and stars on their shoulder

Isnt use of typescript, svelte etc unnecessary. Been using a bookmarklet for decade for this purpose sharing encrypted text or files. Keep the bookmarklet hosted in git.

So after fighting windows for 30yr i also have started searching for linux os to switch to. Might feel weird initially but its a must now.

60% of my time spending on windows is wasted in refreshing/slowstartup/installing bloat and updates/.

Clicking next > next etc multiple time just to install one software.

Winget is not upto mark like apt and other unix package managers. As soon as i install chocolatey or 3rd party it starts to stall even more

Initially i formatted whole installed fresh no external or extra software just bare bone fresh win 10 install

Yet its slow as turtle. And windows standard installation iso is 5gb multi iso. So it waste a lot of my bandwidth. Plus it does'nt let iso download on desktop browser. And only with phone useragent you get downloadable link, and phone doesnt have much space to store 5gb file Cherry on top even if i download 5gb file on phone i cannot transfer it to pc as standard usb is limited to 4GB per file. So i had to install additional ssh or feem or other software for wireless transfer. Or had to use non standard browser on phone to capture download link copy it to pc and downlod.

Even after that creating unattended installation is mess and require ntlite or other and hours of waste. And now newer isos despite adding ei.cfg and pid.txt the version selection menu does not appear it enforces installation of win10 home the native laptop was bought with. So hours wasting to upgrade it to pro.

So finally this year i decided to move to linux. Keeping window as secondary. But could noy decide due to myriad of varieties. Choice is majorly between Mint or Fedora

Atleast follow standard practice in your example

Fails : enumerate -f '.txt' -- 'wc -l {}'

For all use cases

Correct : enumerate -f '.txt' -- 'wc -l -- {}'

Would be interested if OP had wrote, AI built me my own blog engine. Instead of saying "I built". If person wrote 90% of code and used AI for only 10% that's only for refactoring or commenting or optimizing then it won't be wrong to say "I built". But when 90% is written by AI and user just makes minor edits its not ethical. An on the contrary AI has itself been written by other humans and Its been trained over millions of code/work written by other humans. So essentially when AI writes some code, its those humans who were writing. If we can't credit all those humans, atleast make your statement rightfullt

Don't think about numbers double quadraple etc.

Think of simple notion. Why more energy is needed to accelerate moving object compared to still?

Kinetic energy possesed by any object is equal to work/effort needed to be made by an external force to accelerate it from present state to stated velocity.

If object is already moving, and i am that external force, first i had to catch up with that object, for that i had to do work make effort until i am moving at same speed as object, even after catching up, at the momennt if i try to push object, i am distracting myself engaging into 2 activity maintaining my speed same as object and trying to push so that will definetely reduce my speed, so i first had to gain slighly more speed than object before i give it a push and transfer all my momentum to object so it accelerates.

Thus i needed more effort or work to do, to accelerate moving object compared to stationary one.

That work done is kinetic energy object posses when it was accelerated from 1 to 2 and its more than when moving object from 0 to 1.

That simply explains the fact. Now how much more energy triple or quadraple that comes down to practical established formulas.

In my understanding OP was confused as when talking about,op was simply thinking if object is already moving it would take less force to move it as it already has gain momentum against all odd of nature and resistive forces, so now only work needed is to accelerate it and it doesn't include loss against resistive forces.

But to accelerate moving object the applier of force whether human or another object also needs to catch up

I was just today morning thinking about some such idea, for mhtml to be embedded with light weight renderer so it does'nt have to rely on other browser

How its different then MHTML ??

Isnt MHTML : THE HTML+CSS WITH BINARY Images embedded.A perfect Snapshot of site.

All we need is browsers to render Served MHTML

And JS Support in MHTML

Will someone clarify my doubt ? The lineancy of allowing sideloading by means of developer options in settings that requires one time wait of 48hr. Will that be available to all android os or only newer. I was using android 10 on samsung model that already hit end of support by brand years ago. So it update is in developer options and its os level would'nt that require ota update but with end of support for system updates from samsung itself how it will be pushed
