Do we buy more storage, perhaps one of the best SSDs, or do we search and find the largest files quickly? In this how to we will look at a few simple approaches to help us maintain and manage our filesystems.
[09:17] schestowitzAll the commands in this article will work on most Linux machines. Weve used a Ubuntu 20.04 install but you could run this how-to on a Raspberry Pi. All of the how-to is performed via the Terminal. If youre not already at the command line, you can open a terminal window on most Linux machines by pressing ctrl, alt and t.

[09:21] schestowitz[09:21] schestowitzTo that end, were thrilled to announce that today, K-9 Mail officially joins the Thunderbird family. And cketti has already joined the full-time Thunderbird staff, bringing along his valuable expertise and experience with mobile platforms.
[09:21] schestowitzUltimately, K-9 Mail will transform into Thunderbird on Android.
That means the name itself will change and adopt Thunderbird branding. Before that happens, we need to reach certain development milestones that will bring K-9 Mail into alignment with Thunderbirds feature set and visual appearance.

[09:24] schestowitz[09:24] schestowitzAs you can easily tell, line breaks made at the beginning of the chapter affect the potential line breaks you can do later. Sometimes it is worth it to make a locally non-optimal choice at the beginning to get a better line break possibility much later. Evaluating a global metric like this can be potentially slow, which is why interactive programs like LibreOffice do not use this method.
[09:24] schestowitzThe classical way of solving this problem is to use dynamic programming. It has the requirement that the problem must conform to a requirement called the Bellman optimality condition (or, if you are into rocketry, the Pontryagin maximum principle). This is perhaps best illustrated with an example: suppose you are in Paris and want to drive to Venice. This requires picking some path to drive that is " [09:24] schestowitz optimal" for your requirements. Now suppose we know that Zrich is along the path of this optimal route. The requirement basically says, then, that the optimal route you take from Paris to Zrich does not in any way affect the optimal route from Zrich to Venice. That is, the two paths can be routed independently of each other. This is true for the basic form of Knuth-Plass line breaking.
[09:24] schestowitzIt is not true for line breaking in practice.

[09:26] schestowitz[09:26] schestowitzIn May, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak at the Raspberry Pi Foundation Seminar series. Ive attended some of these seminars before. I highly recommend them (see past seminars here). Its a terrific format. The speaker presents for up to a half hour, then everyone gets put into a breakout room for small group discussions. The participants and speaker come back for 30-35 minutes of intensive [09:26] schestowitz Q&A at least, it feels intensive from the speakers perspective. The questions you get have been vetted through the breakout room process. Theyre insightful, and sometimes critical, but always in a constructive way. I was excited about this opportunity because I wanted to make it a hands-on session where the CS teachers and researchers who attended might actually use some Teaspoon Languages and give me feedback on them. I have [09:26] schestowitz rarely had the opportunity to work with CS teachers, so I was excited for the opportunity.

[09:29] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.patrick-breyer.de | Stop #DataRetention: Experts find systematic disregard of Court decisions Patrick Breyer [09:29] schestowitz[09:29] schestowitzA new generation of data retention laws threatens the fundamental rights of millions of citizens in the European Union. While the EU Court of Justice permits blanket data retention only exceptionally, these laws by their very nature aim to collect communications data from virtually the entire population. This new generation of data retention legislation insists in turning the exception of mass [09:29] schestowitz surveillance into the rule. The panel highlights for example what the concept of targeted data retention actually means and how dangerous the systematic collection of IP addresses is.
[09:29] schestowitzThe speakers call on the European Commission and the governments of the EU countries to stopthis concept of mass surveillance throughout the EU, and to respect the Courts rulings.
