EmmaSManning People who have or are planning to make pre-recorded video lectures for teaching: are you captioning them and if so how?

sjmielke So,`fork()` usually returns the PID of the child and 0 if you are that child... well and -1 if it fails!
But do you know what happens when you `kill()` process -1?

mslapointe Paris ENS is France’s top school and agregation there is highly competitive. This year, due to COVID they cancelled the orals, only had the (anonymous) written exam. As a result ~80% of successful candidates were women. 8-0. Eighty.

Women usually represent ~40% of ENS agrégés

brynguist Think about it: every time a stranger is close enough to be ambiguously flirty, they are by definition too close for safety! Think of all the time and energy I will save, not having to figure out how to politely exit conversations I never asked to be part of. "Six feet, dude"👩‍🍳👌

brynguist turned around to make eye contact, and said sternly, "Six feet, dude." You should have seen the look on his face! He was shocked, embarrassed, thrown off course! *I* made *him* feel small. *I* made *him* wish the interaction wasn't happening. Just, "Six feet, dude." Incredible

emilymbender So now I'm wondering: was that odd order produced so that "required at the UW" would be a substring that could be hyperlinked to the UW's mask policy? And if so, is the practice of hyperlinking putting subtle pressure on languages & slowly changing word order possibilities?
