I needed this for my blog post tomorrow:
import os os.system('sh') # or bash, tcsh, zsh, whatever. :-P

Thanks [Wayback] Chris Jester-Young!
This trick works at the Python shell.

The [Wayback/Archive] Embarcadero/IDERA Documentation Wiki has been mostly down since March 3rd, 2022 (not the main page, but almost all other pages are).
I modified [Wayback/Archive] Docwiki https – EmbarcaderoMonitoring to show the actual status of a deeper page as the (mostly static) top page is up, so monitoring that is useless as the deeper pages are down.
The deeper pages are dynamic and require a functioning MySQL database connection. That connection is mostly down (the error message is not clear, so this could be a network or a database server problem, or maybe even a loadbalancer gradually entering bit heaven).
Since it had been down for like 6 days in February*, I’d expect Idera to keep an eye on it and prepare for more downtime. Apparently that’s either not a 24×7 thing for them or they missed the “pre” in preparation as it is dead-silent on .
It also runs on an unsupported version of Mediawiki 1.31** which by itself does not explain the outage, but does indicate that their idea of handling their internal lifetime management is different than what they advocate to clients in their software subscription model, see [Wayback/Archive] Delphi – Embarcadero store, [Wayback/Archive] Update Subscription – Embarcadero and [Wayback/Archive] Special Offers on RAD Studio, Delphi & C++Builder – Embarcadero:

Heel herkenbare “Intense World Theory” in het stuk van Niki Korteweg [Archive.is] Henry Markram speurt naar autisme in een mysterieus orgaan – NRC:
…
En ineens begrepen ze: er is geen sprake van een gebrek, van remmende hersencellen. Het is juist overgevoeligheid, overreagerende neuronen. Mensen met autisme worden overspoeld door de intense beleving.
…
Autisme is en blijft een ontwikkelingsstoornis. „Maar als we de verschillen kunnen waarderen en begrijpen dat wij ons moeten aanpassen, dan zal dat veel constructiever zijn”, denkt Markram. „Wij zeggen dat mensen met autisme geen empathie hebben. Terwijl wij zelf geen empathie hebben. Voor hen.”

Thanks Twitter!:
I use a single 4K monitor for this, and either different full-screen workspaces or remote desktop/screen/logon sessions per job.
My phone is always on vibrate, and sometimes in a different room.
I read e-mail usually once every few days, and try to do social media and chat outside my concentration sessions.
I try to concentrate on once thing at a time without getting distracted.

It looks like some X9 and X10 Supermicro boards already support PCIe bifurcation (splitting of PCIe slots into multiple channels), which might be worth a try to upgrade some of my older rigs to use NVMe instead of SATA storage as it will allow me to use adapters that support multiple NVMe devices into a single PCIe slot.
The X9 motherboards uses an LGA 2011-R socket, and the X10 motherboards an LGA 2011-R3 sockets.
Both use chipsets not being that different: the X9 uses the C600 series (which are similar to the X79 consumer series), and the X10 uses the C610 series (which are similar to the X99 consumer series).
This is what I found out about the bifurcation support for my boards:
X9SRi-F, BIOS 3.3 has pcie bifurcation settings available.
Tested with AOC-SLG3-2M2 and 2xPM963
Drives appeared in Ubuntupics attached

Helaas is de belangrijkste beperkende voorwaarde dit:
Ik ben een senior, maar laat geen eengezinswoning van Stek achter. Kan ik wel gebruik maken van voorrang voor senioren?
Wanneer u geen eengezinswoning van Stek of 4 kamerappartement in Noordwijk achterlaat, is het niet mogelijk voorrang te krijgen. Wel kunt u reageren op de woningen die op Huren in Holland Rijnland staan. Mochten er geen kandidaten zijn die via ons seniorenbeleid voorrang krijgen, gaan wij verder met de kandidatenlijst en maakt u dus alsnog kans!

[Wayback] Archive.is blog — The website has been slow for some time when…
The website has been slow for some time when archiving Twitter pages, but works fine with other websites. Is there a reason for that? Thx!
Anonymous
1. There are too many pages from Twitter in the queue, which reduces their priority (if it wasn’t for this condition, it would slow everything down)
2. Twitter API sometimes responds with “429 Too Many Requests” or other error, so it usually takes more than 1 attempt to capture the page.
I would suggest refraining from saving pages from Twitter for now, especially those people trying to save dozens or hundreds of tweets

Similarly to Bianca Toeps, I always wondered why some are called percussionist, programmer, brother, student, or deaf and there is no discussion to be call them “person who plays percussion instruments”, “person who programs”, “person having a sibling”, “person who studies”, or “person who cannot hear”.
There is a lot of discussion about autism though: very long threads on why someone should be called a certain way.
To me it does not matter, so you can call me all of this:
Yes, “Programming is an art form that fights back”.
Note I heard this quote the first from Kudzu, and since then learned it looks like it is by T.C. Wilson, but I am still not sure which T.C. Wilson.
