As has already been said, bash brace expansion is quite powerful. It has many usecases, such as,

  diff file{.original,}
  mkdir -p path/{a,b,c}/folder
  for i in image{001..060}; do echo $i; done
Parameter Expansion is also equally useful, like changing a few characters in long names,

  mv ${i}.png ${i/imaeg/image}.png

I have been using duckduckgo on all browsers, including mobiles, for 2-3 years now. There are occasions when I don't get good results. But when I try the same query on G, the results are equally useless. So, I have since stopped using anything else.

Although, I should say, bing was equally good when I used it before duckduckgo, until they added that horrendous news feed in the bottom.

This is great! In my case, only reason for choosing Redis over Memcached was persisting to disk. With memcached being multi-threaded compared to Redis being single-threaded, I see a big win in simple use-cases for Memcached.

I look forward to read this. Thanks for posting the link.

> "You might well ask why you should study assembly language, given that I think you should avoid writing in it. I believe very strongly that the best programmers have a good understanding of how computer hardware works. I think this principle holds in most fields: the best drivers understand how automobiles work; the best musicians understand how their instrument works; etc."

There are new feature phones available in the market, with the benefits of modern technology such as better display, keyboard, battery.. Its probably not advertised much, but it is still there, and very much available.

We can never fix the "Referer" header, and we have accepted it! So, why not accept 418 for what it is ? Let it at-least complete its 20th year.

I think, he explains it early in the article,

"The problem with ethernet addresses is they're assigned sequentially at the factory, so they can't be hierarchical. That means the "bridging table" is not as nice as a modern IP routing table, which can talk about the route for a whole subnet at a time."
