To add on to this answer (which is correct):

Your "of" can also just be a regular file if that's easier to work with vs needing to create a new partition for the copy.

I'll also say you might want to use the block size parameter "bs=" on "dd" to speed things up, especially if you are using fast storage. Using "dd" with "bs=1G" will speed things up tremendously if you have at least >1GB of RAM.

I dunno man, I think that the fact she teaches high school kids specifically, who by now all know about it, means that she has no hope of being an effective teacher at this point. It's a massive distraction, as unfair as that is.

She had to have known this was a possibility when she decided to start an onlyfans - there's almost nowhere in the country where you won't get fired as a teacher for that, progressive or conservative states alike. Society just isn't there yet.

I ran into this exact situation at work - though for me it was more the case that getting approvals for new software / installing new dependencies in our system is a massive pain.

So I went with Python since it's already installed on basically any Linux system. It was fine - I mean Python is a good language and can certainly handle string processing and data manipulation with relative ease.

I still think the Python docs are pretty bad, and I wasn't thrilled with the options for calling a subprocess in Python - they all felt kinda clunky, though I was barred from using the newest versions since I had to run an older version of Python.

But I ultimately got something that worked and it was certainly better executed / shorter than the bash equivalent it was replacing.

I had a bunch of friends up and was gifted Cosmic Encounter.

I had seen it played on YouTube, but this was the first time I got to play it myself. We had a great time! The game can feel a little bit overwhelming at first with all it's stages and card-decks, but once you get past it it's a really good time.

If you've never played it, the super short version is that you are trying to get colonies on other players planets by drawing cards against each other. But what makes it fun is that every player also gets to draw an (initially secret) civilization/character card, which typically has abilities that completely turn the game on its head. We had lots of hilarious moments stemming from the character reveals. I would definitely recommend checking it out!

I also got to play Radlands with my S/O. Not at all the kind of game either of us have really played before, but we had a blast. It's a card-dueling game, and all the cards feel very powerful with some cool synergies. It's pretty simple to teach, especially if you use table-top sim or spring for the edition that comes with play-mats.

But on the other hand, if loans were subject to bankruptcy, most poor people would never be approved to get them.

It's wild that 3 games into his career, teams are double-teaming Carter instead of the other (impressive) vets on the Eagles D-Line.

And Carter still disrupts the play half the time!

Broadcast said it was the highest score since the 60s!

To expand on this a bit, git pull under the hood is basically a shortcut for git fetch (get the remote repository's state) and git merge origin/main main (merge to remote changes to your local branch, which for you is always main).

When you have no local changes, this process just "makes a line" in your commit history (see git log --graph --decorate), but when you have local changes and the remote has changed too, it has to put those together into a merge commit - think a diamond shape with the common ancestor at the bottom, the remote changes on one side, your changes on the other side, and the merge of the two at the top.

Like the above comment says, normally this process is clarified at the command line - VSCode must be handling it automatically if there are no code conflicts.

Eagles doing great so far except for special teams....

Sounds familiar.

Ooof. I can't even imagine landing on my elbow like that.

Hutchinson is insanely good.

Look, I'd love for that to be true, but it just isn't. Biden will win by being a boring centrist, because that's who he is and that's who will win a general election (generally speaking).

With the GOP going completely off the rails the easiest path to victory is to simply go middle of the road and pick up all those independents/centrists and conservatives with brains. Progressives will vote Biden regardless because Trump (or any Trump wannabe) is too terrifying of a reality.

This country has never shown it has some giant progressive silent majority - Bernie would know, he bet and lost on that materializing in his own presidential runs.

I don't see Democrats running hard on progressive policies until either the GOP starts running moderates again (forcing Democrats to pickup votes elsewhere) or young people prove they can be a force at the ballot box.

All this is not to shit on what Biden has achieved, because he has done things for progressives, but I don't see him suddenly switching to anything resembling a "strong progressive agenda" because it will just give his GOP opponent ammo to claim "see he's radical too". Biden will be the most boring, normal politician he can, while highlighting how bad things will get if his extreme opponent gets into office, and that's probably the smartest thing to do.
