maybe take a look at "Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou

Yes - already read that, it's also very good!

Edit: Maybe I should find one about the shenanigans in the crypto space...


Name and shame: Klarna did this.

Not sure if they still do because i stay well clear of them.


If the project owner posted this or is reading here: watch out with the project naming; DivX is a highly litigative brand these days.


di_ff_x not di_v_x, you div (joking).

On a serious note, I don't see how that would impact them.


Which new purpose do you allude to?


Only a guess but they all dropped the "working" and "men" requirements.

The latest incarnation was "Men in Sheds" which eventually got the traditional treatment - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg5qd9l3094o


Hmm yes I've seen men's sheds but they weren't actually men exclusive and very topical to making stuff. A bit like a makerspace but less focused on tech and more on woodworking.


Oh that the was fascinating, too. From visiting more than a decade ago, I understand that most of the permanent population of Whittier lives there (except for some hotel employees) and that they have an underground passage connecting it with the school building opposite (so students in winter can get there without putting on a coat).


.. and now the password is stored unencrypted in your bash history.


Use the `read` method the other poster said, or ensure HISTCONTROL is set and then prepend a space to commands that contain secrets.

  $ export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
  $  echo 'supersecret' | whatever


That's a feature, not a bug. :P

Alright if you prefer:

    read PW; sleep 3; xdotool type "$PW"
Or if it's already on your clipboard:

    sleep 3; xdotool type "$(xclip -o)"


Prefix any command with a space and bash won't append to the history.


Careful that's only true if you set HISTCONTROL to "ignorespace" or "ignoreboth".


Which seems the default in my anecdotal experience on debian/Ubuntu.

It is also the default on fish shell in the same anecdotal experience.


Go to settings -> private browsing and enable "allow screenshots in private browsing".


FWIW, I enjoyed how the pictures were adding a little theme, were consistent and broke up the reading nicely without being too "noisy" (compared to e.g. technical articles full of meme pictures).


It might just not work for you because Monty Python don't do punchlines. They just dial the absurdity to 11.

There is some element of surprise, but rather at the beginning of a scene than at the end of it. Then it's a matter of "how far can you take this situation", e.g. a knight losing all limbs and still claiming "it's just a scratch" (Sorry for the spoiler but it's been 48,5 years...).

Part of it could also be missing cultural context. Taking the same scene as example, it's a comment on the British "stiff upper lip".


This building inspired the "Oldest House" in the game Control:

Control was a fantastic game. A must play.


I thought the gameplay was so weird with all those black blocks. I didn't get past the first 30 minutes, I just got so bored. I was expecting a mystery game with a complex story.

Maybe I should give it another try.
